“We need to
let President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and my dear friend chairman of
the Democratic National Committee — we need to let them know that Florida ain’t
on the table. Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message
of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will
and spirit of the American people somewhere else … Get the hell out of the
United States of America.”—Allen West, R-Florida, Jan-28, 2012

“Pray for Obama. Psalm 109:8. At last — I can honestly
voice a Biblical prayer for our president! Look it up — it is word for word! Let
us all bow our heads and pray. Brothers and Sisters, can I get an AMEN?
AMEN!!!!!!” --Kansas House Speaker Mike O’Neal
The Full text of Psalm 109:8-12 below. It
should be noted the Kansas speaker only referenced 109:8:
8 May his days be few; may another take his office!
9 May his children be fatherless
and his wife a widow!
10 May his children wander about and beg,
seeking food far from the ruins they inhabit!
11 May the creditor seize all that he has;
may strangers plunder the fruits of his toil!
12 Let there be none to extend kindness to him,
nor any to pity his fatherless children!
In response
to the public response to the email Speaker O’Neal released the following
statement:
“One has to
be thick-skinned when serving in public office, but I’ve been disappointed with
the over-the-top attacks, particularly those directed at family and associates.
Appropriate discourse is a two-way street and I, for one, intend to be more
respectful and vigilant in my communications.”
Just a few weeks before Speaker O’Neal a separate
apology for calling Michelle Obama ” Yo ’Mama” so I guess we’ll take him at his
word for that.

“It is
tragic what we do in the poorest neighborhoods, entrapping children in, first
of all, in child laws, which are truly stupid…. Most of these schools ought to
get rid of the unionized janitors, have one master janitor and pay local
students to take care of the school. The kids would actually do work, they
would have cash, they'd have pride in the schools, they'd begin the process of
rising."—Newt Gingrich—Nov-21, 2011

“There’s
something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but
our kids can’t openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school.”—Rick Perry

Denying that lack of proper medical insurance coverage costs lives “…People die in America
because people die in America. And people make poor decisions with respect to
their health and their health care. And they don’t go to the emergency room or
they don’t go to the doctor when they need to, and it’s not the fault of
the government for not providing some sort of universal benefit.”—Rick Santorum, Dec-05, 2011
At the same event Senator
Santorum made a lengthy defense of his position on gay marriage and
homosexuality in general:
“Really- wow- um okay,
well let’s see if we can have a discussion. We can flesh out some, well, let’s
look at what’s going to be taught in our schools because now we have same sex
couples being the same and their sexual activity being seen as equal and being
affirmed by society as heterosexual couples and their activity,”
Santorum does not in
these comments or the extended version of them quoted elsewhere address gay
marriage or homosexual rights, but rather his views on gay “sexual activity”.
“…if we say
legally if this type of relationship is identical to other type relationships
than of course more of it will be taught because this is what the law says.”

“There’s a woman who came
up crying to me tonight after the debate. She said her daughter was given that (HPV)
vaccine. She told me her daughter suffered mental retardation as a result.
There are very dangerous consequences.”—Michelle Bachman Sept-12,2011
Perry did not defend
his decision. Though Public health advocates noted 35 million doses had been
administered and the drug had a good public safety record, Perry did not defend
the mandate and instead apologized.
Since 2000 he had received $30,000 in campaign funds from the vaccine maker,
Merck. The drug maker made $360,000 in contributions to the Republican Governor’s
association in the same period.

“I don't have the facts to back this up, but I happen to
believe that these (Occupy) demonstrations
are planned and orchestrated to distract from the failed policies of the Obama
Administration. Don’t blame Wall Street, don’t blame the big banks, if you
don’t have a job and you’re not rich, blame yourself! … It is not a person’s
fault if they succeeded; it is a person’s fault if they failed.”—Herman Cain,
Oct-05, 2011
Cain later used the “I
don’t have the facts to back this up” introduction to his theory that the Democrats
unhappy with his strength at the polls were responsible for breaking the story
of his alleged extra-marital affair. Most dems at the time were thrilled with
is rise. Cain claimed the payments to the woman—to which is wife was reportedly
unaware—were an effort to help the woman “during these difficult economic times”.
At least we end with a smile… Ah Herman, we sure do miss
you…
