They go and do something like this:
Rep. Nathan Deal (R-GA), a candidate in the GOP primary for Governor of Georgia, has announced that he is signing a letter to the White House with several of his colleagues — asking for a copy of President Obama’s birth certificate.
But, hey, this might be a winning strategy in a GOP primary. Not so sure about winning the election, tho.
Bonus nuttiness: Armey throws Hoffman under the bus, while “North County Public Radio’s Brian Mann writes that since national conservatives like Armey “deliberately helped to shape Doug Hoffman into a national symbol, one whose stand on abortion, same-sex marriage and President Obama largely defined him,” it is “a stretch” for them to “complain now that he didn’t focus enough on local stuff.”
Haven’t I heard a version of this song before? Something about someone not being conservative enough.
