Once again some idiot is bringing up the whole “Is McCain eligible to run for President” issue. So, one more time, let’s rehash why this argument is a bunch of crap:
The Panama Canal Zone was a U.S. territory when McCain was born on Aug. 29, 1936. His father was stationed there by the Navy.
McCain said last month the issue was put to rest 44 years ago when Republican Barry Goldwater sought the presidency. Goldwater was born in Arizona when it was a territory.
What the hell is so difficult to understand here? The Panama Canal was a US territory when McCain was born there. That means that, yes, McCain was born on a piece of land considered US soil at the time he was born. That makes him a “natural born” US citizen. Do I need to say it really slow? A different language? One syllable words?
