I can't say that Sen. Rand Paul is my idea of the perfect representative of the Republican Party, but I think his comment regarding Donald Trump was right on target. He is quoted as saying, in a New Hampshire fundraiser,
Trump, by bringing up the "birther" question, has deflected people from the true question, "Has Barack Obama been a good President of the United States?" There is no real reason to doubt that he is constitutionally eligible; there is no likelihood that he will be removed from office on that ground. What is more important is to have the American voting public remove him from office in November 2012. One wonders: Trump has in the past contributed more money to Democrats than to Republicans. Could this be, in fact, a move to guarantee another term to President Obama, by making it less likely that the GOP can come up with a credible 2012 candidate?
"I want to see the original long form certificate, with embossed seal, of Donald Trump's Republican registration."
