...they don't even fade away. Jonathan Chait calls Sharron Angle out on birtherism, but I find the other parts of her statement that he quotes more interesting:
Oh, also: no one is going to vote against Barack Obama for re-election because he doesn't have the experience to be president. Really. Trust me on this one: it's not going to be a winning argument.
I’m very disappointed we didn’t feel that he was qualified purely because he had not the experience, he hadn’t – we didn’t know exactly how he was voting because he was only voting present when he was voting.Note to Republicans: no one was going to oppose Ronald Reagan in 1984 because he was just an actor, or Bill Clinton in 1996 because he ducked the draft, or George W. Bush in 2004 because of his Vietnam-era actions. Similarly, no one is going to vote against Barack Obama in 2012 because he voted "present" in the Illinois Legislature, before he served in the United States Senator for four years, and before he served as President of the United States of America.
Oh, also: no one is going to vote against Barack Obama for re-election because he doesn't have the experience to be president. Really. Trust me on this one: it's not going to be a winning argument.
