Is Romney a 'Birther'?

resident Nick Balandiat has written another letter that has landed in the pages of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Balandiat, in a Sept. 4 letter to the editor of the Post-Gazette, calls Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney a "birther."

"When Mr. Romney stated, 'No one has ever asked to see my birth certificate; they know that this is the place that we were born and raised,' he was making a backhanded allegation regarding President Barack Obama's birth status," Balandiat writes.

"You expect this birther stuff from Tea Party loons. The Tea Party is filled with them.

"If (Romney) actually thinks that way, he obviously shouldn't be given nuclear launch codes. If he's just appealing to the birthers, then Mr. Romney hasn't a moral bone in his body."
