NAS,

leave aside all the conspiracy theroies, if I were republican I would focus on the policies matters. As stiffler said above, they( whites from both parties) would never had let the black kid to become a candidate, let alone the president,  had they found out any thing substantial to prove that obama is not born in US. Actually republicans never wanted obama to present any proof so that they keep on making this issue to bash him. It is like nepalese political parties saying king gyanendra and paras are behind durbar hatya kand, while they know it is Dipendra, and continue to play with stupid people's mind.

If I were a consipiracy theoriest, I would make at least " Loose Change" like arguments, not any silly theory!
