In the last
week, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have condemned the statement made by Vice
President Joe Biden on Tuesday about the Romney-Ryan Economic Plan calling it
“low.”
Hmmm….
Interesting…
I have compiled
a short list of quotes from well known Republicans and those in the
conservative movement over the last 4 years.
"I hope it prolongs the failure. I hope it prolongs the recession. Because people are going to have to figure out here that this is not how economies recover. Government is not the central planner… Of course I want Obama to fail. And after this stimulus bill package passes, I want it to fail."- Rush Limbaugh, 13 February 2009, regarding Obama’s stimulus plan

The opening
pages of the book Do
Not Ask What Good We Do talks about a dinner held by prominent Republicans
in Washington, DC about how to retake the Congress and White House after the
2008 elections. Among those in attendance from Congress: Eric Cantor, Kevin
McCarthy, Paul Ryan, Pete Sessions, Jeb Hensarling, Pete Hoekstra, Dan Lungren,
Jim DeMint, Jon Kyl, Tom Coburn, John Ensign, and Bob Corker. Also in
attendance was Newt Gingrich and communications specialist Frank Luntz.
When did
this dinner take place? 20 January 2009
“The single most important thing
we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.” – Senator Mitch McConnell (R-
KY), addressing the Heritage Foundation in October 2010
Michele
Bachmann has several classic quotations. Here is list of her Top
10 up until June 2011.
Here is a
compilation video and I warn you, your IQ will drop 10%.
Newt
Gingrich and his claim of President Obama being “The Food Stamp President”
That claim made
by Gingrich was false.
Nothing more than a racist, dog-whistle lie to stir up white paranoia. I am sad
to say some members of my mother’s family who are surprisingly one generation
ahead of me believe this nonsense.
“One thing I'm sure of is that
there are people in this country… there is a radical strain of Islam in this
country… it's not just over there… trying to kill Americans every week. It is a
real threat, and it is a threat that is much more at home now than it was after
9/11.”
- Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL, Deadbeat Dad), August 2012

This other
quote from Deadbeat Dad Joe Walsh pisses me off because you hear people
chuckling while the Congressman said that Tammy Duckworth’s service meant
nothing.
Tammy
Duckworth served in Iraq as a helicopter pilot. She was shot down and lost both
of her legs. Even though she is a double amputee, she is still serving in the
Illinois National Guard.
I wonder how
many of them would chuckle to her face.
Oh, and once
again, he’s a Deadbeat Dad.
Who could
forget this during President Obama’s address to a Joint Session of Congress in
2009 about health care reform back on 9 September 2009?
You know Jon
Stewart had something to say about this on his program on Wednesday Night after
the always irrelevant Sarah Palin had something to say about this.
In the
montage clip, Palin asked if there were five Republicans that have ever said
such hateful things.
I gave her
more than five, but I don’t think she would ever get there. She has a problem
getting past two.
And Mitt
Romney is one to talk…
This coming
from a man who has a long, well documented history of saying whatever in order
to get elected.
This is not
the first instance of “Republican Freak Out” in this campaign and it certainly
won’t be the last.
