Donald Trump's October Surprise!

I can only speculate about what embarrassments he might be hiding, eg:
- Less than stellar grades
- Disciplinary actions
If he actually had the scholarly success attributed to him, I'd have expected him to compare it with Dubya's more pedestrian (& publicly revealed) efforts.
Are we supposed to pretend this is of utmost importance to every voter, and not just a partisan vendetta?

Grades? Really?

Since when is campaigning ever about substantive topics?
Pseudo-issues such as Barry's mystery grades & Willard's tempting tax
return get much more air time & forum attention than war & economic woe.

Um, you didn't originally say it was a "pseudo-issue" though, you indicated you thought there was something significant Obama was hiding.

And Romney's dog was a pseudo-issue, but not his tax returns. Why shouldn't the electorate deserve to know the level of tax paid by a fat cat who made his bucks through vulture capitalism, if this fat cat wants to determine tax policy for everyone else?

I never indicated any such thing.

I suppose a similar argument could be made about the keen significance of Barry's grades.
But it's all just mining for tawdry tidbits to attack....to avoid discussing wars, depression, & decline.

Colbert has offered to give a million dollars to charity if Trump will put his own balls on his mouth. Lol.

If I had 5 million dollars, I'd pay Trump to finally admit he wears a toupee and then shove it in his mouth. Enough with the birther nonsense already.

I suppose so. But I'm just pointing out that the argument about the taxes a candidate has paid is actually relevant to judging whether you want someone making tax policy for the nation, and the significance of someone's grades (considering that even a superstar president like FDR was a p*ss-poor student) is only relevant to partisan sniping.

Let's not overlook the Barry Seotoro foreign student connection.

About which you can demonstrate little or nothing of importance.

Really? To be able to attend a US University under a foreign student designation, you have to be a citizen of a foreign country. Where would this leave our President? On the other hand, what is it called when a person claims foreign student status and that person is a US citizen? Oh yeah, fraud. This could be put to rest by Mr. Obama simply releasing his college information.

Anyone can sling questions. Demonstrate that your alleged "facts" are actual facts.

Thanks for the link.....
And just to run it home:
Read these tiny words very closely: the group Americans for Freedom of Information does not exist, just like the supposed "AP article" you keep cutting and pasting into e-mails to your irritated family does not exist, just like the "Daily Mail article" referenced in the fake "AP article" does not exist. They're all fabrications. Fakes. Hoaxes. Ask yourself why you're so eager to believe these obvious fakes. No, really. Really, really ask yourself.

If Obama were to let himself get bossed around by every tinfoil-hat conspiracy theorist with access to YouTube, he'd look exactly as ridiculous as they look. His approach so far - ignore them now and ridicule them later at the Whitehouse Press Correspondent's dinner - has been pretty effective.
