Why Don't We Stoop Down To a New Low Rep. Campbell?

California Representative John Campbell recently went on Hardball by Chris Matthews to promote his bill requiring presidential candidates to submit copies of their birth certificates.

Why would he even mark up such a bill? Well, I think the conversation below sums up his ludicrous motives behind proposing H.R.1503:

Matthews: “Do you have any doubts, Congressman, about the authentic native birth in this country of our president? Do you have any doubts?”

Campbell: “Chris, my — it doesn`t matter whether I have doubts or not.”

Matthews: “Do you have any doubts?”

Campbell: “It doesn`t matter at all.”

Asked if he thought Obama was “a legitimate native-born American or not,” Campbell responded: “As far as I know, yes, OK?”

..as far as I know, Rep. Campbell, you are an idiot for even trying to propose such a bill onto the national stage in the midst of an Economic Recession, not to mention a $24b deficit in your own state. Also, kudos for unnecessarily instilling fear in those who foolishly doubt whether our President was born in the United States of America.
