Bennett on State of HI: "I can't seem to get them to say 'yes.'

Well, it's obvious that Bennett changed them by asking Hawaii to verify Obama's birth status in that state. Bennett, as Arizona's Secretary of State, has the authority to decide if Obama is eligible to be on Arizona's ballot. That should be enough of an answer for the state of Hawaii's question regarding Bennett's authority on the issue. I suppose that Bennett could also do the same with Romney, but no one is asking about Romney's birth status at this time, are they?

 

He should ask for Romney's just so that all things are equal.

 

So Bennett can change the eligibility requirements based not on an equal application of the law, not on the Constitution, but because he wants to pander to brain addled birthers?

i am sorry, but I do not stink it works that way.

Certianyl his motives are nothing more than sheer partisan idiocy. What a disgusting display on the part of Bennett, who coincidentally is Romney's co chair in Arizona. How dare someone abuse their office for such partisan shenanigans.

 

Or maybe he should just (*)(*)(*)(*) off. This is a waste of time and tax payer money. This guy needs to get help for his delusion birther racism. (*)(*)(*)(*) him.

 

I was perfectly clear the first two times. The OP said he was looking for confirmation of Obama's birth, which may or may not be a simple "yes". That is why I said he is asking for verification of Obama's birth place.

The state of Hawaii cannot give out a simple "yes". They have laws and protocol that must be followed. The state has confirmed on multiple occasions that the birth certificates are authentic and that Obama was indeed born in Hawaii. If he would like a special separate confirmation he must follow the laws of Hawaii in obtaining it.

 

No one brought race into this except you... a lockstep liberal.

The man stated specifically that he is not a birther and believes the president was born in Hawaii. We need to take him at his word unless proven otherwise. He is an ELECTED official and thus represents the people of the state.

How much tax payer money will it take to get a "YES" from a Hawaiian State Official? Only a liberal could turn this into a costly adventure.

What I would like to see is a previous, "YES" as LB claimed has happened from a Hawaiian State Official thrown in this guys face. That would be a nice ****. But, if that "YES" does not exist, then they should just cut the chase, oblige him, and everyone moves on and he is embarrassed.

 

They can do all that confirming... but not just say "YES".... really what kind of liberal Democrat convoluted waste of time is this crap? Just say "YES" and shut the guy up.

 

I'm sure that Michigan wouldn't have a problem with that.

 

Actually, I brought up race in post 6 in this thread, in trying to seek out whom these extra stringent reviews apply to.

 

So you're suggesting the Hawaii break their state laws to appease a moron swayed by birthers?

Yeah, it's the "liberal Democrat's" who are wasting time here.

 

You never know... I hear they are run by Democrats too... most those people have become nothing but (*)(*)(*)(*)ed in the head.

 

Yes, it's the democrats who are (*)(*)(*)(*)ed in the head in this situation. Running around wasting time by grandstanding and asking for information that has been provided a thousand times over. Oh wait....

 

Actually, it does work that way, TFM. You can whine about dirty politics all you want, which coming from an Obama supporter is laughable by the way, but in the end, as Secretary of State of Arizona, Bennett has the authority to keep Obama off of his state's ballot if Obama does not meet his state's ballot requirements. If Bennett just happens to be a part of Romney's campaign well...one must also ask what vested interest does the state if Hawaii and its officials have in Obama's campaign. The pendulum swings both ways here.

 

Excellent. I suppose then you can show me where int eh Arizona constitution it says that an official can create a completely different set of standards for two candidates in a national election.

Here you go.

Simply the page number will be sufficient.

 

Do your own homework, TFM. Obama is the one that made his own bed here by keeping his birth status, along with the rest of his past, such a well-guarded secret. Meanwhile, Romney's history appears to be an open book.

.

You want to know the ins and outs of ballot access requirements? This should explain all that you need to know.

 

Well shoot. I was hoping that there was a basis for this position other than partisanship. I suppose that this Bennett fellow is nothing more than a mindless hack that is more interested in attempting to advance his own party rather than representing the people of Arizona.

 

I guess we can say the same about the Hawaii state officials that won't cooperate and comply with Bennett's simple request. Tsk tsk...too bad for Obama, I guess. *shrugs*

 

The state of Hawaii has cooperated 100%. They informed Bennett of the steps he must take to receive the information. It is up to Bennett to comply with those steps if he truly wants the information.

 

they are actually barred, per hawaiian statutes, from giving him one. Obama can of course give him one, but he's not going to. he's already provided the world a copy of his birth certificate. this idiot birther is being ignored.

obama will of course be on the ballot in arizona..........apuzzo

 

they would be more than happy to say yes, if bennett would just follow the law. they can't help the fact he's a pandering retard.

 

obama will of course be on the ballot in every state, including arizona

 

Since October of 2008, the HI DDoH has, to all appearances, inserted herself into this "war" of her own volition - Fukino by issuing press releases about the BC which were not required by HI law and ill advised as well, and Fuddy by claiming discretionary authority to provide a copy of the to Obama original when HI law makes it perfectly clear that the DoH is required to provide a certified copy to any applicant with a direct and tangible interest.

 

On whose authority, if not the states'?

 

a yes has already been provided. hawaii said they wold be more than happy to provide the information, bennett just needs to file the proper paperwork. he hasn't done so, so hawaii can't release the information.

this isn't rocket science. but birthers are retarded.

 

hawaii will do nothing, and obama will of course be on the arizona ballot
