POLITICO:
A month before Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) told a town hall audience that there is not enough evidence that President Barack Obama is a natural-born citizen, he told an interviewer that he believes Obama was "born in Hawaii."

Well, I guess that's only a flip flop if he believes Hawaii is a state, and was when Obama was born there!
An interesting fact about Arizona. In 1884, John Heith was found guilty of murder and was subsequently lynched by an angry Arizona mob on a telephone pole. The good citizens of Arizona placed a placard underneath the lynched corpse saying they did this "to advance Arizona". Nothing as changed except the number of lynching--the Arizona mob is still here.
i saw the john mccain townhall meeting today, and more than a few constituents mentioned that they get their information from fox news and former arizona gop rep, now radio host, j.d. hayworth, so that may explain why arizonans send these wingnuts to congress
Looks like his Corporate masters gave him a call.
Franks made the mistake of saying this in Kingman (rural area, middla nowhere, probably plenty of unedumacated birfers), not realizing that we could hear every word back here in Phoenix (he represents both).
The 2nd district might get a bit blue next time around.
Franks in this photo looks like he's been chasing parked cars......
"Birther" and "abortion on demand". Is there no lie that a gullible fool (i.e. Republican) WON'T believe?
Bill Maher gets it right yet again: "Dummies talking to other dummies".
Don't ya just love birther stories?? Hey, got another one for ya!!

I have no idea why this guy decided to pander to the lunatic fringe in his party since they are so few and far between. Only 20% of Americans call themselves Republics and of that 20% not that many support this birther nonsense. So why is he pandering to those few people. For every one of them he makes happy, he loses two Republics with a brain.
please join the discussion with Rep. Franks over at MetlFacebo
I know republicans miss those glorious days of old.......
Someone confirm :
Is the Sun closer to the Earth in Arizona or something?
It sure feel like it! In the summer it is over 100 everyday in the shade. You can't THINK very well in that kind of environment so you get people like McCain and Trent Franks!
Dehydration reduces neuronal activity. It's sad to watch.
The GOP has a stranglehold on Arizona because of the Gun issue. I have been to several Gun shows out here in the Tucson area and I can tell you first hand, they are simply a bunch of nuts. I can also tell you, contrary to popular belief, anyone can buy a gun at the shows out here, no waiting period and no background check if you are buying a used weapon.
The whole birther thing is just so tired!
"No wun wuz lisnin to me wen I sed I thot he wuz a citizin so, I jus went anuther way."
This is just a tactic to get some attention in the press. The fact that it's mostly negative attention and the percentage of people who still buy into the birther nonsense is dwindling just underscores this man's complete unsuitability to hold office. Actually, it underscores his unsuitability to hold anything more intellectually challenging than a shovel.
HAHA!!! What a joke this guy is making of himself!!!
