Why did Romney do this? What grownup thought this was a politically advantageous move?

My guess is that they were hoping for some sort of insane birfoonery to break out on the 'left'.

Instead, most people cast a cursory glance over it and said 'we already knew where he was born, coz we're normal'

Why did Romney do this? What grownup thought this was a politically advantageous move?

Last night – under the cover of darkness – the Mitt Romney campaign published what it claims to be a birth certificate for "Willard Mitt bin Romney".

Press Release: GOP leading senatorial candidate calls on Romney and Obama sign releases and urge respective governmental agencies to release their original identification papers

Yesterday Dr. Orly Taitz, ESQ, leading GOP candidate for the US Senate and a leader in the citizens movement to criminaly prosecute ObamaForgeryGate, was interviewed by a number of national papers and magazines. Alex Seitz, Political editor of Salon.com, asked if she would subject Romney to the same scrutiny as Obama. Her answer is: absolutely. We have credibility when we act with impartiality.

Multiple experts have found that Obama’s released alleged copy of his original birh certificate is a computer generated forgery. His selective service certificate is found to be a forgery as well. He is using a CT Social Security number [XXX-XX-XXXX] that was never assigned to him according to E-verify and SSNVS and his legal last name according to his mothers passport and his school registration in Indonesia is Soebarkah or Soetoro. There is no record of him ever legally changing his name to Obama. The man is a complete fraud, a work of fiction, who needs to be severely prosecuted.

On the other hand she never got any evidence of any fraud or forgery in Romney’s birth certificate, selective service certificate, Social Security number or legality of his use of his last name. However to show an unbiased and impartial approach to both candidates, she calls on both Romney and Obama to sign a consent, authorising respective state Health Departments, Selective service, SSA, and passport agency to allow expert examination for forgery of their original birth certificates on file, microfilm of thereof, original applications for the Selective Service, original passport application, and a redacted original Social Security application.

This nation was reduced to a level of a laughable third world banana republic, when the Registrar of the State of Hawaii and the Director of the state of Hawaii refused to provide Dr. Taitz access to the original birth certificate for Obama, when she provided them a federal subpoena and when the detectives from the state of AZ requested the same. Similarly SSA and Selective service engaged in the same stonewalling.

On the other hand she never got any evidence of any fraud or forgery in Romney’s birth certificate, selective service certificate, Social Security number or legality of his use of his last name.

She doesn't have Romney's SSN, and probably never will.

Awww, c'mon -- don't you think those intrepid detectives she employs like Susan Daniels, Neil Sankey, and Al Hendershott couldn't come up with several of them for her?

I am lost: how can something be original and a forgery at the same time?

The Guardian UK has a nice little satirical piece beginning:





More concerns (channelling Obama birthers criticisms of his COLB)

I am speaking simply here as a computer geek. That certificate bothers me a lot. Here's why.

The dude was born in 1947. We didn't even have computers capable printing this stuff until about the mid 80's.

"Even though I do not have any evidence to show that there's a forgery in the copy provided by Romney," she told us over the phone, "just to be impartial and even-handed I am asking that both candidates release the original documents." Taitz said that when Obama released the short version of his birth certificate in 2008 (she's convinced that the 2011 "long form" is also a computer forgery), a date stamp bled through the back saying 2007, when Obama said he acquired the document in 2008. With Romney's certificate, she says, "the date is here, is January of this year. It's not a year ago. That looks more reasonable."

And Orly still hasn't released any of her personal info???!!!

Orly has a link up to an AtlanticWire article. It's hilarious, especially "computer expert Nick Walsh"


It's got Berg, Lena, Nick, Larry Johnson, and some guy named Mickey.

Interesting fun facts:

The two major party candidates in the 2008 election were not born in the continental United States.

The fathers of the two presumed major party candidates in the 2012 election were not born in the United States.
