11% of California voters are “birthers”
Sigh.
That’s the case according to a Field Corporation Poll released January 26, 2010. In addition to that hard core 11% who say they don’t believe Obama was born in the USA, another 22% aren’t sure.
Eighty-five percent of Democrats, but just 42% of Republicans, maintain that Obama was born in the U.S. There is also a wide divergence of opinion between liberals, 96% of whom believe Obama was born in America, and conservatives, of whom fewer than half feel this way (45%). …
Just 29% of the voters who say they identify a lot with the tea party movement believe that Obama is a U.S.-born citizen.
In 2008, there were about 17 million registered voters in California, so by extrapolation we find there about 1.9 million birthers in California (not counting those unsure and those not registered to vote).
WND Birther poll gives slim chance for lawsuits
2813 persons have responded to the following poll at WorldNetDaily. Only 5% of respondents believe that Obama’s eligibility will be determined by a civil lawsuit (even though this option was listed first on the poll). I certainly agree with that conclusion, at least until the next election cycle.
What I found most remarkable was that the number one answer basically says that there is no proof available to the public that Obama is ineligible, but that they are certain of it anyway.
Thanks to my source, Deep Birther, for the link.

Obama Conspiracy Limerick Contest Winner Epectitus!
The Obama Conspiracy Limerick contest is over, and we have a winner. I was very impressed by the number and quality of the entries. I hope you had as much fun as I did.
If it pans out, I will be on Reality Check Radio this Tuesday night (9 PM EST) and will be reading some of the entries.
And the winner is Epectitus with this entry:
Conspiracy theories generic
Require ideas esoteric
And massive infusions
Of wacky delusions
From crackpots like “Dr. Polarik.”
Hooray!
One of mine garnered quite a few votes:
There once was a student from Taft
Whose suits were dismissed 'cause t'were daft;
And then without reason
Accused them of treason
While judges in chambers just laughed.
Here are other popular entries, and favorites of mine.
Let us pray that this fringe gets no bigger
And none set their hands to the trigger
So full of hate
They cannot tolerate
That the voters elected a …
–brygenon
A Philadelphia lawyer named Phil,
an attorney of dubious skill,
Tried to stop one Barack,
with a suit based on crock,
and from there his career went downhill.
–Expelliarmus
A lawyer with an axe to grind,
raved loudly and ranted and whined,
she called the Judge a traitor,
and the tool of a dictator,
and of course in the end she was fined.
–Expelliarmus
She’s frustrated when she debates,
the law she often misstates,
procedure eludes her,
and Charles denudes her,
She’s the birther queen named Orly Taitz.
–Expelliarmus
Though Obama has proved, with finality,
He’s legal and fit in totality,
These Birthers believe
There’s a plot to deceive
(Thus belying their lower mentality).
–Jim Pettit
The Birthers are still filled with hate.
Our First Family just makes them irate.
“But, he has Kenyan kin!”
Crazy theories they spin.
He was born in the 50th state.
–Kupuna
Next month, I’m thinking about another poetry contest, but this time using the Double Dactyl form.

Here are samples:
Orly Esquire the "birther queen" fights
Against Obama's privacy rights.
In the courts spends her days
(But no judges she sways)
And with Charles Edward Lincoln her nights.There was a black preacher named Manning
Who hate of Obama was fanning.
He started to cry
That Obama must die.
Some jail time he ought to be planning.An epicure dining at Crewe
Found Orly Taitz in his stew.
Said the waiter, don't shout
Or wave it about
Or the rest will be wanting to sue.
