Does Peg Luksik Agree With Her Old Running Mate?
Yesterday, I reported that Pennsylvania conservatives were annoyed, but not all too worried, that Republican-turned-Constitution Party member-turned-Republican Peg Luksik was joining the race against Sen. Arlen Specter. Here’s another reason why Luksik fails to impress people — Jim Clymer, Luksik’s running mate in her Constitution Party bids, is an Obama Birther.
Last year, Clymer — who is now the national committee chairman of the far-right third party — called for President Obama to release his birth certificate or not take the presidential oath of office.
“„The Constitution is crystal clear on the issue of citizenship. Article 2, Section 1 states that no one can be sworn into office as President of the United States unless he is a natural born citizen. Obama has yet to produce even basic proof that he was born in this country. Average citizens can’t even get a driver’s license without such proof of citizenship and Obama is contending he can assume the highest office in the land without such proof! If a non-citizen can be given a free pass to the presidency than what’s to say someone with no allegiance and who harbors ill will toward the country won’t someday assume office?
Before she temporarily left politics in 2000, this was one of Luksik’s closest political allies.
