Politicians say the darndest things

[Bardeaux]

I wonder if his campaign slogan will be "Celebrity Apprentice: Sundays 9/8c on NBC" or "You're fired Obama!". I could see either one.

 

[Apostacious]

If he's elected... I'm moving faaar away the moment I get my degree...

 

[Joeof1]

She was never a serious candidate anyway. I imagine she's popular among small town soccer moms but no one else is even looking at her.

My mind is still boggeling over Trump's polling results. 8(

The guy's name doesn't even appear on the straw poll's.

 

[Bardeaux]

He's been doing alright in straw polls. He defeated Romney and Huckabee in SC. He was third in Iowa.

Which is much better than I was expecting.

Ahh, really? As of California he wasn't even appearing. That's a shame, because Ron Paul was taking those poll's.

 

[Bardeaux]

I'm pretty sure Paul won SC. As much as I would enjoy voting against RP, the fact that Republicans even consider not nominating him is puzzling to me.

 

[Pander Bear]

if Paul pandered to the Birther base, he'd gobble up a good portion of Trump's supporters. Birtherism is all Trump has going for him.

 

[Apostacious]

^I thought it was also because he advertises himself as a successful billionaire, whom Tea Party faithful and conservatives in general worship as the model human being due to the heavy Calvinist influence ("rich people are rich because God loves them, and poor people are poor because God is punishing them... we wouldn't want to interfere in God's plan, now would we").

 

[Kenickie]

"When you go to even a Burger King or a McDonald's and use your debit card, they'll ask you to see your ID," Zellers said during a late-night interview, the Star Tribune reports. "Should we have to do that when we vote, something that is one of the most sacred -- I think it's a privilege, it's not a right. Everybody doesn't get it, because if you go to jail or if you commit some heinous crime your rights are taken away. This is a privilege."

Minnesota House Speaker Kurt Zellers (R)

 

[Pander Bear]

lol, they ask to see your ID when you pay by debit card? That's news to me you fucking old white man.

 

[Kenickie]

i don't know, i think Anthony Weiner should be the President of The World:

Michele Bachmann: … all the surplus in Social Security is a big vault stuffed with IOU notes, there’s not one dime sitting in there.

Anthony Weiner: Are you surprised to learn, Congresswoman Bachmann, that we don’t have a room filled with dimes?

"ACES!"

[Kenickie]

We need you to come in and lock shields to strengthen up the men that will go into the fight for you - to let these other women know, on the other side, these Planned Parenthood women, the Code Pink women, and all of these women who have been neutering American men and bringing us to the point of this incredible weakness, to let them know that we are not going to have our men become subservient. That's what we need you to do. Because if we don't, then the debt will continue to grow.

Allen West (R-Fucking Florida)

 

[Apostacious]

LOL Florida... deserving of its own Fark tag

 

[Kenickie]

Most parents put their children first, even ahead of themselves no matter what. If parents are laid off, that doesn’t mean they stop feeding their children, at least not any of the parents I know. Laid off parents could adapt by preparing more home cooked meals rather than going out to eat.

And she maintains that, if Missouri shuts down the free lunch program, children who find themselves going hungry will just be that much more motivated to feed themselves at no cost to the state by getting jobs at fast food restaurants:

Anyone under 18 can be eligible? Can’t they get a job during the summer by the time they are 16? Hunger can be a positive motivator. What is wrong with the idea of getting a job so you can get better meals?

--- Rep. Cynthia Davis (R-Missouri)

^that sort of attitude appears common in midwest parents...

 

[Escher's Waterfall]

I think Cynthia Davis needs to starve for awhile.

 

[ego_loss]

^^
that or she needs to live on a diet of nothing more than two hour old big macs and fries, as she suggests these kids should.

 

[Escher's Waterfall]

Hell, that's too kind for her. I think she needs to know true poverty.

Large bags of rice seems to be about right. (It's cheap for the calories.) Let her survive on that for awhile.

 

[Khadijah]

shit, id way rather eat rice than some nasty ass bigmacs and fries.

anyways, just wanted to say i been really enjoying this thread and keep postin yall. Kenickie especially, just some mega WTF's to the quotes you posted.

BTW, its from the obama birth certificate thread, but I think that Trump calling for Obama to release his "occidental records" is def. a candidate for this thread. He should stop hiding them, becuz he "wasnt a great student there, but suddently he gets into columbia and harvard?" LOL! I dont think theres ever been one student in the history of education who didnt work hard and got shabby grades and then decided to stary applying themself and became a great student and got into a good school. It just dont happen.

I guess next we need to see obamas highschool transcript and his elementary school report cards....8(
