It‘s the ad that’s been generating buzz all week – Herman Cain’s unusual video spot featuring techno music and a smoking campaign manager. Now, rival GOP presidential contender Jon Huntsman is hopping on the bandwagon — or at least his three daughters are — in the hopes of a viral video of their own.
The ‘Huntsman Daughters’ Twitter account proudly announced the release of their video release Friday evening.
Below is the equally-odd video of Huntsman’s three daughters, donning fake mustaches — presumably to impersonate Cain campaign manager Mark Block — to the tune of techno music, blowing…bubbles.

And, as a personal note, the women in this video may actually believe in science, and are probably getting a college education. Of course they‘re reviled not only because they’re women (Cain is wifeless, perhaps gay), they are smart, they are getting college degrees and they may actually believe in evolution. They should be hated for all those things, just as they are in Iran. I don’t want to call them names, but they are a bunch of ….

Posted on October 28, 2011 at 9:58pmI would not vote for Huntsman if for no other reason other than he has three very stupid daughters. They have shown the lack of class and wisdom the Huntsman family has. The character of the parents sometimes is reflected by the children. I think that is true in this case. No wisdom by mocking a very popular candidate. No class by making themselves look rediculous with the fake mustaches. And stupid by hurting their fathers chances in his bid for the presidency. I see them also as proud, haughty, and self centered. Shame on the Huntsman brats!

You want to see the birth of a nanny state? You’d see it up close and personal here in Utah. There are so many “for your own good” laws in this state that it could choke the proverbial horse.

Posted on October 28, 2011 at 9:37pmObama’s birth certificate alleges “where” he was born and his parent’s citizenship “when” he was born. These equally important “facts” are now beyond Obama’s ability to refute, alter or hide! Unless fake, the inescapable truth is that his Kenyan father precludes his being a natural born citizen, meaning born in the US to TWO US citizen parents, as required by law.
Presidential candidates, who now each have “legal standing” in court, must file suit against Obama and the DNC, alleging fraud and failure to qualify as a natural born citizen, or be dismissed as untrustworthy!
Constitution, Art. 2, Sec. 1, “No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible … .”
Exempting a “citizen” from being a “natural born citizen” proves they aren’t equal, or no exemption was needed. Being not less than nor equal, a NBC must be more than the minimum requisite for citizenship then, which was US birth to a US citizen parent. Only US birth to US citizen parents (plural) is greater, thus defining a natural born citizen.
The Supreme Court agreed in Minor v. Happersett, 1874. “The Court held that Minor was a member of the “class” of persons who were natural born citizens. They defined this class as those born in the US to “parents” (plural) who were citizens.” Leo Donofrio, JD.
How to understand eligibility

Posted on October 29, 2011 at 1:34amTo Obamabirthcertificate.net, You’re wrong on the citizenship requirements. Look up the term “anchor babies” to find out why many foreiners travel to the US to have their child here. It’s so the child is a US citizen, a natural born US citizen as opposed to a Naturalized citizen. Someone who was a citizen of another country who passed the requirements to become a US citizen.
You should check the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. The beginning of which I’m providing for you:
Amendment 14 – Citizenship Rights. Ratified 7/9/1868. Note History
1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
Your confusion comes from misreading a portion of article 2:
Report Post »No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
The difference betweek natural born citizen and citizen affected only those naturalized brfore the ratification. Now anyone born here is a NBC, no matter the status of the parents.
If there was anything to Obama not being eligible, the Clinton’s political machine would have turned it up and used it to put Hillary in office.
Chet Hempstead
Posted on October 29, 2011 at 2:44amThe Supreme Court specifically stated in their decision on Minor v Happersett that they were NOT setting a precedent by establishing a complete and exclusive definition of a natural born citizen because it had nothing to do with the case.
“Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts.”
