Even Congressmen West, who is considered a TRUE conservative and believes that many democrats are card carrying Marxists, knows that the birther issue is taking the focus off the real issues and hurting his party. When speaking at an event , he was asked about the birth certificate. He had this to say

"Stop
it. Stop. OK? It's got to be about policy, folks. Don't get distracted.
Don't go down the rabbit hole. The next thing you know, you lose focus
on what's really important. OK?" West said. "I really don't care about
where he was born. I care about where he's taking our country. That's
more important."

If Mr. West, knows that this issue is not good for the GOP why don't the members of the GOP party?

    I cannot believe we are still having this discussion almost four years after Obama was elected in a landslide. You would think in all that time the birthers would have come up with some verifiable evidence, but they haven't. Just the same old talking points.

    Now we hear that one of the more mentally challenged members of the Teaburger caucus is calling for the birthers to stop the nonsense. Coming from a deep thinker like Allen West, you'd think his message would carry some weight with the flat earthers. We will see if it does.

    Well, you know what they say about a stopped watch. I guess after his crazy commie-list rant he decided to have a sane moment.

    I swear President Obama must call Hillary once a week and THANK her for this whole birther thing. It's really turning out to make his opposition look as crazy as truthers and to watch other more sane conservatives squirm as they try to stay "cozy" with birthers is just PURE entertainment. I guess Congressman West thought he had strong enough conservative credentials he could have a sane moment.

    Birthers secretly Love Obie and want him re-elected. So they make the most insane claims so that people will turn away from the Republican party seeing them as a bunch of nuts and half wits.

    How can anyone say that the posting of Obama's birth certificate was not a forgery is beyond me. Sheriff Joe Arpaio has good reason to look into this matter.

    The people who have said it isn't a forgery include every official on earth with any authority or responsibility concerning the BC, including the issuing agency's Directors from both political parties and Hawaiian Governors from both political parties.

    Arpio didn't do anything but grandstand, it's been over two months and what charges has he brought? Yep, nothing, because that is what is appropriate It's been a tear since Trump claimed to have evidence, but of course that has lead to nothing as well.

    Birthers=Liars. Always have, always will.

    They had to make a special exception to their laws in order to give Obama a long form copy of his, they have the letters between his lawyer and the state involved in authorizing it posted online because of what they politely refer to as "irrational" people such as yourself.

    I don't think you're irrational at all, I think you're dishonest.

    Arpaio did nothing but rehash birther talking points that had already been thoroughly debunked. His only logical reason for doing so was to keep his own problems out of the news.

    Sheriff Joe has legal issues of his own. He is being investigated for everything from corruption, mistreatment of prisoners, threatening public officials, to general malfeasance of office. His birther "investigation" turned out to be fraudulent, as is everything he does.

    You might want to find a more reliable source.

    There was no investigation. Joe was looking for attention, same as The Donald before him. Joe doesn't have a TV show to hype.

    Where is your evidence that he actually did an investigation?

    Nice try. The Western Journalism Center is a rightwing organization, run by Floyd Brown and funded by Richard Mellon Scaife.

    In 1997, then-director Joseph Farah created the news website WorldNetDaily as a division of the Western Journalism Center. In 1999, WorldNetDaily was spun off as a for-profit division of the Center. The Center and Farah own a majority of WorldNetDaily's stock. WND is a prominent right wing web site.

    The Center doesn't include either an address or telephone number on its letterhead, but is believed to be headed by conservative author, speaker, and political consultant Floyd Brown. –– Wikipedia

    You said it was fraudulent. What makes it fraudulent? This guy is a law enforcement officer who stated on public record that he did an investigation.

    What will you accept as proof if you will not accept his testimony?

    I accept Obama's birth certificates, and the certification of accuracy by the state of Hawaii.

    Sheriff Joe is a scam artist , and his little rein is about to end, either at the polls or by removal for cause. Considering his record of fraud and corruption, I am amazed anyone accepts his word for anything. Besides, what has he shown as evidence of his investigation? He is in the same classification as Orly Taitz.

    He stumbled over one that purports to reveal "official" proof that Obama's birth certificate is somehow falsified. Nothing new; just the same old birther rubbish.

    He is too busy with his rumor that 78-81 congress reps are communists. He doesnt have time to push the theory that Pres Obama wasnt born here. His lie needs to take priority now so he wants them to stop with the birther issue. He is a lame brain, and I hope that he doesnt get re-elected, he certainly doesnt deserve it.

    Whether it is true or not it got people to look at who he really is and where he really cam from. There is one woman who claimed that she grew up as his neighbor in Chicago even though in his own book he said he grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii. People will believe what they want to believe until (at least for some) confronted with facts.
    Many people I talked to opinion's of him changed after learning he spent most of his childhood in Indonesia. Others had no Idea his father was a Kenyan and not an American citizen. Some didn't even know he grew up in Hawaii, and that changed thier opinion too because Hawaii is a different enviroment than the mainland USA.
    I had one woman argue with me that Obama's father was an American proffesor at Harvard, and his mom was a ballerina. lol
    So I see the birther movement as a way to inform people of who it is they are voting for.
