Cynthia Refuses To Back Down From Birtherism, Says Fired Up! Is Trying to "Shame" Her
Steve Walsh caught up with Rep. Cynthia Davis (R-O'Fallon) at Lincoln Days to talk about her campaign to unseat Sen. Scott Rupp (R-Wentzville). She did not disappoint:
“Why is it a negative to talk about our principles and our values?” asks Davis. “That’s a positive. I’ve got nothing to hide. My voting record is strong and clear. He [Rupp] has got a lot to be ashamed of.”
While she is critical of Rupp, Davis has come in for a lot of criticism of her own. She has come under fire, especially in the left wing blogs, for being involved in what is known as the birther movement - the questioning of whether President Barack Obama was born in the United States and is constitutionally allowed to serve as Commander in Chief.
“They’re trying to create shame for people who ask questions,” replies Davis. “That defines the problem right there. Why is there shame in asking questions? It’s a legitimate question and Barack Obama has spent over a million dollars to try and not answer it. If I wanted to answer a question I’d show you my birth certificate if you cared that I was born in Chicago. Obviously, he’s embarrassed of where he’s born because he’s trying to hide the records.”
Absolutely insane.
As one of the unnamed bloggers trying to "shame" Davis for just "asking questions," I'll point out the Davis has done a lot more than just "ask questions" about Barack Obama's birth records. She and Rep. Tim Jones (R-Eureka) filed a lawsuit in federal court with lunatic dentist/lawyer Orly Taitz alleging that Obama is actually a Kenyan who only became President because of a criminal conspiracy. Rep. Casey Guernsey (R-Bethany) was also involved in the lawsuit, but was not list on the official court docket.
The two fake Kenyan birth certificates Davis, Jones and Taitz filed in their lawsuit may be found here and here. And all of the following are direct quotes from court documents submitted with Davis' and Jones' name in U.S. District Court:
Plaintiffs’ complaint and evidence allege and confirm that the Presidency in 2008 was taken by fraud, and not even by fraud in the counting of votes, but by fraud in the traditional common law sense of a material misrepresentation of an important fact upon which Plaintiffs could be reasonably expected to rely to their detriment, and to the detriment of constitutional government.
Plaintiff submits that if discovery is ever allowed in this case, it will be rapidly settled by the resignation or impeachment of the President. If the stone wall of secrecy and suppression is ever removed, if California sunshine is ever allowed to shine for one day on the real evidence, the Presidency of Barack Hussein Obama will be rapidly brought to a rather embarrassing close, and the Defendants’ counsel know it, just as Judges Land and Lazzara know it in Georgia and Florida. Secrecy and refusal to divulge information can have only one possible purpose: to hide an inconvenient truth.
Plaintiffs have accumulated several dossiers of evidence against Barack Hussein Obama which suggest, in addition to the multiple addresses and social security numbers described above, that the President and his allies and some of the co-defendants in this case may have committed, or still be in the process of committing, some fairly serious violations of U.S. law, especially the provisions of titles 18 and 42.
I could go on and and on an on. Or you can read it all yourself here.
Somehow, Jones has managed to avoid talking on the record about all this lunacy. He wants to be the Majority Floor Leader next year, but has escaped all accountability for his role in the lawsuit. How is that possible?
And just to be clear: Missouri Republicans should be ashamed that Davis and Jones continue to hold positions of leadership in the House of Representatives.
