Barack Obama Birth Certificate: New Jersey Tea Party Members Challenge Primary Ballot

Toms River Patch:

Two men who are Monmouth and Ocean county residents are challenging President Barack Obama's place on the state's primary ballot, according to the Bayshore Tea Party Group.

Nick Purpura, of Monmouth County, has filed a challenge along with Ocean County resident Ted Moran alleging that Obama has never shown adequate proof that he was born in the United States - despite the release of a longform birth certificate by the White House in April of 2011.

They also claim that his father was never a citizen of the United States, meaning Obama is not a natural born citizen, at least according to their interpretation of the Constitution.

It now goes to the NJ Secretary of State for further action! I think because of the political ramifications, no action will be taken until 2013.

Please Stop The Insanity. President Obama will be re-elected in Nov. No matter how many untrue yarns you spin about him, it is still going to happen. So sit down, read a good book or do SOMETHING constructive...And better luck in 2016 (not).

I just posted a comment with a link to Judge Masin's decision in this case. It was automatically removed because it contains the names of the petitioners, one of which triggers automatic removal of a comment. Come on, HP, can't you fix that?

Judge Masin delivered his decision:
"I CONCLUDE that the petitioners have failed to meet their burden to establish that Barak Obama failed in any obligation to prove to theSecretary of State that he is qualified to hold the Presidency and that he is a “natural born Citizen” of the United States of America, as required by the United States Constitution."

There's a story of a woman who was present when a bomb went off in a London underground carriage. It killed several people and she was also injured. She witnessed it all and eventually started a blog about the experience. She was contacted by a conspiracy group who thought the entire thing was staged by the government, using actors and fake blood. She couldn't convince them it was real. They called her a government operative. She eventually turned up at one of the conspiracy group's meeting and shouted out who she was, and they still didn't believe her. The leader of the group was later interviewed and said that she had not been receptive to listening to the evidence that it was all a staged event. He wanted her to see his evidence.

There is a certain subset of people who will always do this, no matter what evidence is presented to the contrary. It's just the way their minds work.

She just didn't have the big picture.

You raise the interesting idea that Obama's mother may not have *known* she was in Kenya when she gave birth. I think Shurf Joe should spend lots of time investigating that.

And another one bites the dust.

Case (and claims) denied. Cue 'shock' at entirely predictable result:

I was feeling somewhat superior, thinking that at least we in Florida had some sanity, when.... well, you guessed it. Some FL goofballs have filed to try and get President Obama off the FL ballot. Gee, they just couldn't let us look civilized, just this once.

The President's birth certificate has been exhibited to the public since 2008.

It's been shown. Are you going to demand to see the birth certificates of every presidential candidate from now on? This is ridiculous.

Where is Bufford when I need him? I thought we had an arrangement to meet and go staple Obama's birth certificate to these dolt's heads.

which right wing loon is going to produce romney's fake birth certificate since we all know he was born in mexico?

[Will737]

09:12 AM on 04/11/2012

Well, I have to admit there are a lot of right wing loons on this thread. But it was George Romney (Mitt Romney's dad) who was born in Chihuahua, Mexico. Williard Mitt Romney was actually born in Detroit, which I suppose does beg the question: why did Mitt want to "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" ? But Mitt is a natural born citizen.

BRAVO! ! ! TED AND NICK for having the courage to speak up for an some accountability from the Obama Transparent Administration. Remember "E pluribus unum" on the seal of our great nation. We need a LEADER who respects the Constitution that he vowed to uphold but didn't. We need a President who is a Patriot and loves the United States of America who would fight for it, protect it and even die for it. We are the individual not the collective and do not want government under Obama making our decisions for us.
IN GOD WE TRUST

I'm inclined to believe birthers brains were damaged when they wore tinfoil hats while HAARP was running a test to study the upper atmosphere.
