Kansas GOP officials consider removing Obama from November ballot

[still_one]

The Kansas State Objections Board is considering removing President Barack Obama from the November ballot because of doubts over his place of birth, according to the Topeka Capital-Journal.

The panel of Republicans, which consists of Secretary of State Kris Kobach, Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer, received a complaint from a resident who claimed Obama was not a natural born citizen and therefore ineligible to be president.

1. Can they legally do this?

I'd think there could be a court fight, just for fun.

(I live in Missouri and I hear the local news. No way he was winning Kansas anyway but this could still be a fun court fight to watch!)

2. president is a federal office, probably no jurisdiction here nt

4. That's why I'd think it could be an interesting court fight.

He wasn't winning KS anyway but I'd be interested in watching the fight.

7. +1 -- and in a Blue State. I think I would lose my mind living in a place

where this would even be considered. I'd feel suffocated.

12. No shit, huh.

[Cha]

16. I'm happy for you! I live

in Hawai'i so we know where PBO was born.

These stupid racist asshole republicons know it too.

[B Calm]

6. What's the matter with Kansas? Are

they all idiots out there? I think this might just backlash on them!

[KSstellarcat]

20. Not all of us!

I live in KC metro, so at least I'm not completely surrounded by nutjobs. Disgusting.

[PDJane]

8. Yes.

[socialindependocrat]

9. News - Obama reelected and first duty will be to block all federal funding for Kansas n/t

[left on green only]

10. Isn't this the same stunt that Arizona tried a while back.....

...and it resulted in Ms. brewski and the Arp man going it alone?

[Strelnikov_]

11. Great news. Hope they carry through with it. n/t

[madamesilverspurs]

13. Okay. That's it.

I'm gonna buy a truckload of clorox and drive it to the state line. Then I'll drive up and down that border pouring the bleach the whole time. Gotta do whatever it takes to keep the stupid from crossing into my state. Hell's bells, we already have enough trouble with Colorado Springs!

14. At this point in the campaign season,

I'm actually starting to wish that the elected officials in solidly red states do more to ramp up the "crazy". Although it's disrespectful to the POTUS, (and downright racist) it serves as an example to voters in swing states just how much of a national embarrassment the GOP has become.

[Cha]

17. I hear ya, M2SK.. and, I'm thinking

Pres Obama can handle it Just Fine.

[Moses2SandyKoufax]

18. However,

I worry that it might motivate an unstable person(s) to violence. It only takes one....

[Cha]

19. That's true..I

forget about the violent frothing idiots sometimes.

15. So you want to secede?

Sounds good to me, so long as the non-crazies have a few weeks to safely evacuate. Don't let all of our federal infrastructure kick you on its way out. :spank
