From FireDogLake.comMike Stark has been up on the Hill all week whipping Democrats to hold fast on the public plan, and in his spare time, he decided to ask Republicans if Barack Obama was born in the United States. Not only do they not want to answer -- they run.
He asks Republicans Tom Price, Thaddeus McCotter, Jeff Fortenberry, Charles Boustany, Aaron Schock, Greg Harper, Mike Coffman and others what they think. Tim Murphy hides, looking at pens for 20 minutes to try and avoid him.
Mike and Brave New Films cameraman Brett Vauhn finally got Arizona congressman Trent Franks to admit without equivocation that Obama was born in the United States, and that his birth certificate is valid.
The video makes clear that the Republican Party is captive to their conspiracy theory-mongering base all the way up to the top.

If you needed any more reasons to believe that the Republicans are jus' plain nutz...
Anyone who calls themselves a Republican should hide their faces in shame. These are the people they elected to represent them in the US Congress and on the airwaves. If it weren't so horrifying it would be laughable.

When I watched this clip, I couldn't believe it- I say, let them keep pushing the question of Obama's birth- it merely reinforces that the Republican base is a bunch of idiots.
