Time to disown Arizona once and for all?  I know I keep threatening to do that, but…this one might be the clincher.

Somebody please tell me:  what good is this law if you present your proof (as Obama has countless times) and the dicks in power don’t believe you…because they’re just being dicks?

The Arizona Legislature has become the first in the nation to pass a measure requiring presidential candidates to provide proof of citizenship in order to get on the state’s ballot.

House Bill 2177 got final approval Thursday night from the House. It will be transmitted to Gov. Jan Brewer, who will then have five days to sign it, veto it or do nothing and allow it to become law.

If Brewer chooses to veto the bill, Republican lawmakers could attempt an override vote. The bill would become law if two-thirds of legislators supported the override.

“It’s essential that we bring back the integrity to the office,” Rep. Judy Burges, R-Skull Valley, said during a recent debate on one of the so-called “birther” measures.

Why are people so crazy/stupid?  Obama’s birth certificate has been widely available for ages–you can even order your own copy online, for fuck’s sake.  But no, some people will believe whatever paranoid, idiotic thing they’re told, regardless of proof.

What they oughta do is just admit that they have a problem with him being black

Fifty-one percent of 400 Republican primary voters surveyed nationwide by Public Policy Polling said they ascribe to the controversial birther conspiracy theory — despite the fact that the state of Hawaii has posted Obama’s certificate of live birth.

Only 28 percent said they think the president was born in the United States — a constitutional requirement to be president. Twenty-one percent said they were “not sure.”
