Political leadership is relative. I mean Gandhi wasn't the leader of the Indian National Congress, but his ideas influenced the composition of the group. The ones out there making the noise for the group are going to attract the people, who in turn shape discourse. If Trump and all his "birther," nonsense is the frontman for the group, then they're going to attract more birthers, or people like that Southern California Republican operative who got caught circulating that picture of Obama superimposed as the child of chimps (which shares the same root as the birther paranoia, it's racism at heart)

You could be right, but i think you're seeing the Tea Party as a Libertarian vehicle, whereas i'm seeing it as a Republican capitalization on voter angst

No, I see it as a conservative vehicle.  Not a Neoconservative one.

It could have been a libretarian vehicle, but the libretarians failed to get behind it.

I still don't get why Obama doesn't just give full permission to the hospital to release the "full" record.

It'd take alot of steam out of the birther stuff.

What I like about trump is his policy suggestion that we should "Seize the Iraqi oil fields".

 

For the life of me I don't understand how he's polling 2nd.

The record that's been circulated is the only record that's legal to circulate under Hawaii law. Granted the president has the power to circumvent such laws when they're inconvenient for them, but there it is. (the full record, the one that Trump makes the hilarious claim could "prove Obama's a Muslim," can only be requested by the individual as a Hawaiian resident, which Obama no longer is, and copies aren't allowed to be made)
