McCain, having been born in the (Panama) Canal Zone, will if elected become the first president who was born outside the current 50 states. This raises a potential legal issue, since the United States Constitution requires the president to be a natural-born citizen of the United States. A bipartisan legal review and a unanimous Senate resolution both concluded that he is a natural-born citizen, but the matter is still a subject of some legal controversy.

Obama was born in Hawaii.

Oh heavens, don't get them started. I've already sent McCain a letter and invited him to buy a home on Lake Martin, where he can be amongst "his" people. And his anger will be right at home here if most of the posts on this board are any indication. His ego will need massaging after he loses to Obama.

So what you are saying is that if your father serves the country in the military and you are outside the United States when you are born then you are ineligible to be President of the United States. You must be very proud of yourself for that one. Why stop there, he's also pretty old so maybe once you reach a certain age you are no longer eligible to be President. Then if liberals could really have their way, no conservatives would be eligible to run for office or even vote........you guys are too much......in a bad way.

If you don't agree with McCain and his politics how about the novel idea of entering the arena of ideas, logic and candor instead of this inane silliness. Then again, I do understand because liberalism cannot exist in the arena of ideas and logic so you have to appeal to emotion or put forth detestable ideas like the above.

Very odd that you bought your lot at the Ridge 9 1/2 years ago. The Ridge had not even started to be developed 9 1/2 years ago. You LIE just like the candidate you support. You should be ashamed of yourself.

On 10/5 Water_Watcher posts:

The Ridge had not even started to be developed 9 1/2 years ago.

On 7/15 Water_ Watcher posted this:

Fortunately there is no other side ... just trees with no access ... that was part of the attraction for the lot when we bought it nearly 10 years ago. And i do not blast music ... not my style.

Now, please explain to this dumb elitist how you bought your lot "nearly 10 years ago"?

You LIE just like the candidate you support. You should be ashamed of yourself.

You make absolutely no sense in any of your posts ... the Ridge did not exist 9.5 years ago ... you stuck your foot in your mouth and you got caught. Yes I was on the lake and bought a place over 10 years ago ... but it was not Ridge. You are so lame ... I fully understand your political choices now. You have class envy ... it is so obvious. Not my fault you did not make anything of your life ... but that does not mean you are entitled to mine because I was (and others).

You are like the people in Ohio I am seeing on the news with every other tooth missing that are druming up homeless people and taking them to register and vote at the same time. The reporter asked are you telling them who to vote for (illegal by the way) and she says .... yes, I tell them to vote for Obama, he will help you. The reporter asks what do you like about Obama ... she says Obama, he is going to change things. The reporter ... what sort of things is he going to change that you like .... she says I don't know, but Obama he going to change things.

I am sure you are proud that is the type of people you align with. I tell them vote for Obama.

On 7/15 at 7:50 PM you stated "what I enjoy on my own dock". One hour later at 8:53 on the same thread you stated "the lot when we bought it nearly 10 years ago". Now you tell us that is not the lot at the Ridge. You flip flop more than McCain.

Subject:   More on the facts
Date:   10/5/2008 12:55:23 PM

I was just stating a fact. To be President you must be a natural- born citizen not just have citizenship.

I have all the respect for John McCain and his service to our country just not his policies. I volunteered and proudly served our country in the Coast Guard.

Despite widespread popular belief, U.S. military installations abroad and U.S. diplomatic or consular facilities are not part of the United States within the meaning of the 14th Amendment.

A child born on the premises of such a facility is not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and does not acquire U.S. citizenship by reason of birth.

US military bases are foreign territory where all the local laws apply. The status of Americans stationed on those bases is governed by a diplomatic agreement called a Status of Forces Agreement.

When a child is born on a US base with one or more American parents the parent(s) must file all applicable paperwork with the US embassy to get the child's American citizenship recognized.

McCain’s citizenship was established by statutes covering the offspring of Americans abroad and laws specific to the Canal Zone as Congress realized that Americans would be living and working in the area for extended periods. However, whether he qualifies as natural-born has been a topic with some declaring him ineligible while others assert that he meets all the basic constitutional qualifications — a natural-born citizen at least 35 years of age with 14 years of residence.

The Panama Canal Zone was American territory until it was returned to Panama.

Just some facts. That's all.

WW - No class envy here. I can live just about wherever I choose and I chose to live where I'm living. To each his own, so if you live in the Ridge and feel proud about it, good for you.

Not only are you hostile, you also are too quick to call names. Don't you find so much anger to be a handicap in life?

Date:   10/5/2008 7:38:27 PM

You hide behind "stating a fact" but you must have a point. I took it that you don't believe he should be eligible to be President which I find sickening and disguisting. Don't hide behind the "just the facts" innuendo. Of all the stupid, objectionable things I have seen you write this is by far the most detestable. YOUR IMPLICATION, WHETHER YOU HAVE THE GUTS TO ADMIT IT IS MCCAIN IS NOT ELIGABLE TO BE PRESIDENT!! That is sick, offensive and a slap in the face of every prund American that has sacrificed to serve his country. He is more American and more worthy to be President than you and any other bed wetting , left wing, American hating liberal would ever be!!!!!

I can deal with disagreements on policy, politics and worldview, but you have stepped over the line into the arena of putrid, the ends justify the means politics. I have enjoyed the debate with you but you need to apologize for this post. I am sorry but I come from a family that served in the military in Korea and Vietnam and I cannot in good conscience let this pass.

Construction on The Ridge began well over a decade ago, and it was "open for business" (which in this sense means that lots became available) in June, 1999. If you want to go by the absolute, by-the-book strictest definition, that was not 9.5 years ago; it was 9 years, four months and five days ago.... close enough to "9.5" for just about anybody.

However, if you recognize only the strictest of definitions, please stop posting your half-truths, innuendos and blatant lies. Don't expect others to toe a line you repeatedly ignore.

Seems you proved I was correct. Thank you. But lots did not start being marketed for sale until 2001. But one thing for sure is GF was lying about living there. Sad someone is not proud enough to say where they really live that they have to lie about where they wished they lived.

Thanks for your concern. I have done just fine in life. In fact, better than fine. Funny how liberals like yourself and GF (alias MythBuster) describe someone that does not agree with your out of touch thinking as being angry. It is not anger, it is lack of patience for your ignorance. Simple as that.

Hint: You really don't have to reply to these posts because it just lets the cat out of the bag how out of touch and uninformed you are. Elsie, for people that know who you really are on this board, it starts to raise some eyebrows and people talking behind your back. Take one of those pills again and go lie down.

He didn't say he had LIVED there for 9 1/2 years, he said he BOUGHT HIS LOT 9 1/2 years ago. Buying a lot and living on it are not the same thing. The very fact that you feel the need to purposely put words in his mouth-- in essence, you openly lie about what he said-- is proof enough that you know you are wrong.

As for lots not being made available for sale until 2001, you must be talking about Phase 2 lots, not Phase 1. Do you really think a dodge like that is going to go unnoticed?

From the August 1999 issue of Lake Martin Living, page 13: "Russell Lands is the developer and exclusive agent for lakefront lots in the following premier communities:

The Ridge
Trillium
Windermere West
Windermere
Windover
Willow Point Estates
Raintree
River Oaks"

Obviously, lots WERE being sold in The Ridge as early as August 1999, and not until 2001 as you earlier stated.

Obviously, GoneFishin' was right and water_watcher was wrong.

Most obvious of all, water_watcher will either completely ignore this post, OR twist things around; either way, he will never be man enough to admit that he is wrong.

And who am I, Really??? You haven't met me, you don't know me. If "people" waste their time talking about me "behind my back" as you say, I'm honored. However, maybe you and those people should find something more productive to do.
I hope that you are doing well materially, because my observation based on your comments here are that you are a very unhappy and angry person. And that makes me sad. I'll pray for you.

So until you do that, put up or shut up. You are wrong and if you cant produce an address that was a developed lot 9 1/2 years ago then you are proving your ignorance. Go for it.

OK ... prove he bought it 9 1/2 years ago .... you can't because it did not happen. Show me any lot that closed 9 1/2 years ago ... any ... just any. He is a liar ... he got called on it and now like most liar liberals other lying liberals try to come in and cover up. Plus, he say he lives on the lake ... so why would he say he bought a lot in the Ridge 9 1/2 years ago (before the were selling them) and then just sit there.

Now you tell us that is not the lot at the Ridge. You sit on your dock at the home on the Ridge offering coffee to the fisherman. You were complaining about the jet skis that bother you while you sit with your wireless laptop on your deck. Are you suggesting you have a home in the Ridge but you go to anther dock on some mysterious lot you bought nearly 10 years ago???????????? Where is the lot you bought nearly 10 years ago??

Why would i try to explain ANYTHING to you when you demonstrate you understand nothing about real world issues that matter. You defend an individual that can be defended and has demonstrated he and his wife have no respect for this country. He associates with people that no person, let alone a president should EVER be able to call a friend. And what he preaches is outright socialism that would destroy this great nation and what has made us great.

You are demonstrating a typical liberal style ... you get caught in a lie ... you refuse to admit it, you can not present facts to prove it .... so you try to twist what others have said so somehow that justifies your own lies. Sorry i am not going to play that game with a person like you.

You should be ashmed and embarrassed of yourself and your posts on this board. So why dont you go fishing and reel yourself in.

Were you looking in the mirror when you wrote that? You must have been, because this post is a perfect example of just that. You are caught in a lie, trapped by your own words, and yet you still won't admit it.

I suggest psychiatric help. Find yourself a good one; you need the best you can get.

So again ... put up or shut up .... if you believe I am wrong then prove it. Tell me one lot or street address that was sold in the Ridge 9 1/2 years ago. There are none so stop this foolishness ... GF lied, he is a liar about many things and will not admit it like a man. Just admit you were lying, that you must have class envy to have to lie about where you live.
