UPDATE on Mitt Romney “natural born citizen” state.
Please read this latest research update on this issue.

As the Republican debates continue to heat up and the field narrows it is no surprise that all of the history of each of these candidates will be tossed under the microscope.

Well let me take a little of that back since MSNBC has been more than HORRIBLY LAX on the Obama history microscope front.

There is all sorts of REALLY DIRTY DIRT to dig up on Barack Obama but NADA, NONE dug up much less a hint of presenting.

So it is left to those of us on the blogosphere to dig up the facts and documentation.
Then you get to dig around for yourselves and hopefully become a better informed citizen.
Since all of this data gathering is time consuming and a group effort on some level … hopefully we will happily share with one another.

Next on the agenda and NO SURPRISE springs up a video reinforcing information already presented here on this blog and others as well.

Do keep in mind the more of us presenting this data? … the more people who by the “law of numbers” become educated.

Mike Taibbi’s full report, ‘Romney’s Roots,’ airs Monday, January 9, at 10pm/9c on NBC’s
‘Rock Center with Brian Williams.’

Heading into the New Hampshire primary, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has a strong lead in the polls as he continues his effort to become the Republican nominee challenging President Obama in the fall. That would mean, of course, that the 64-year-old Romney would be closer to The White House than any Mormon ever has been.

If Romney secures the nomination, he would also be the first presidential nominee whose father was born in Mexico.

It’s a little-known fact that there’s a whole branch of Mitt Romney’s family living south of the border, including his second cousin Leighton Romney, and about 40 other relatives descended from religious pioneers who first traveled to Mexico 125 years ago. These days, the Romneys of Mexico enjoy pleasant and productive lives in two remaining settlements: Colonia Juarez and Colonia Dublan, just 175 miles south of the border.

“He’s got a great pioneer heritage starting with people that crossed the plains going from Illinois to Utah, and then on from Utah down to Mexico,” Leighton Romney told NBC’s Mike Taibbi in an interview to air Monday night on ‘Rock Center with Brian Williams.’ “So there’s a great heritage there of people that had to fight for what they believed in and for people that had to travel to different places and learn different things. I think there’s a vast amount of experience that he could draw from there.”

In his public life Mitt Romney has said and written little about his ancestors’ history in Mexico. In one oft-repeated quote he said his family left the U.S. for Mexico to escape persecution for their religious beliefs.

In fact, Romney’s great grandfather, Miles Park Romney, led that first expedition to escape not persecution but prosecution for polygamy, or what Mormons called ‘plural marriage.’ After polygamy ended, the family remained in Mexico. Mitt Romney’s father, George, was born in Colonia Dublan, one of the colonies in northern Mexico that the Romneys settled in after their arrival. His mother, Lenore LaFount Romney, was born in Utah.

When Romney’s father was five years old, the Mexican Revolution broke out and his parents moved back to the United States to avoid the violence. Mitt Romney was eventually born in Michigan. But the other branch of the family – leading down to Romney’s cousins Leighton, Mike and Meredith – stayed behind in Mexico, their numbers growing. The Romneys chose to remain in Mexico because they established good lives for themselves and their families there. Most of them are now dual-citizens.

“We certainly have a love for both countries,” adds Leighton. “I can sing both national anthems and tear up at both of them. I think that having two countries that you love and two countries that you can serve or be a beneficiary of their service is a great thing.”

The Romneys living in Mexico are well aware of their wealthy and famous relative’s popularity in the Republican primary race. They support their cousin’s candidacy and they hope that Mitt will be more open about the issue of his religion and Mexican heritage during the campaign. It’s a family history they’re proud of, despite the fact that Mitt Romney has never come to visit.

If Romney does get the Republican nod, and the media spotlight of a presidential campaign points south toward Mexico, it will probably land on many of these unknown Romney family nuggets, and on Mormonism itself, the religion shared by Mitt Romney and the cousins he doesn’t know. That part is okay with Romney’s cousins.

“We’re Christians, complete in every sense of the word. I don’t think that any candidate for any office would shy away from their religion. I think it’s something to stand up and be proud of,” Leighton said

As we get closer to the 2012 election and those running for office of President of the United States, the subject of who is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN and therefore eligible to hold office and who is not becomes more important.

On a daily basis more citizens are becoming educated on the matter.

The “birther” denigration of the public is beginning to fail as the population begins to understand and becomes more educated on our Constitution and our countries founding documents and those who wrote them.

The Obama supporters are quick to say anyone who questions the Obama Presidential Qualifications are racist or just plain nuts.

My response to them is THEY ARE EITHER ignorant, corrupt, stupid or committing treason.
Take your pick it is one, two, three or perhaps all of those.

Their worst nightmare is unfolding before their eyes.
The problem has not gone away.
NOR WILL IT EVER!

Let me make this abundantly clear … my opinion of Barack Obama and HIS SKIN COLOR OR PARTY has nothing to do with my continued rant on this subject.

It does not matter if the person being scrutinized is Democrat or Republican. If they do not qualify or have a hint of doubt about qualifying I will be reporting it here.

Apparently we have a Congress full of cowards and a court system (SCOTUS) who are either cowards or flat out shirking their sworn oath and allegiance to this country.

MAKE NO MISTAKE the Supreme Court Justices (EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM) know exactly what those of us ranting about this issue know.
For Gods sake they are suppose to be UNBIASED EXPERTS.

It is time the public STOPS the lemming behavior of being swayed or conned by someone elses OPINION.
