Sounds like a pretty fair description.
Oh, so you mean birtherism is truly American? ;>)
Watching Lou Dobbs, the answer is "apparently not".
Only a party in real deep trouble plays to its fringe. The fringe may produce a small pocket of support, but embracing it also drives away those people in the middle. By championing lame legislation or remaining silent on this issue, the Republicans gain some loons at a huge cost down the road.
The Republican have misplayed the numbers game so badly that I'm starting to wonder of they can avoid an even larger electoral defeat in 2010.
So just to be clear - Republicans got their marching orders from this small, conservative, right-winged group in creating a Bill on Capitol Hill to show their support that President Obama was not born in America. This Bill does affect only the Birthers, "NOT" the million upon million of Americans. Oh, gotcha. Wink, wink. These Birthers got major "clout" and the Republican Congressmen in Senate and House jumped real quick to their demands. Hmmmm. LOL
