[mommybain]

I hate to seem stupid, but aren't the links backwards up there? The link w/ the democrats statements is for repubs and vice versa....

[Fraulein]

LOL! You beat me to the Farrakhan quote!

[Fraulein]

"It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it." -- Gore

[scan58]

"Is that little buggy going to drive by the place where they planted the flag?"

- Sheila Jackson-Lee while visiting the Mars Pathfinder Mission Control Center.

[Fraulein]

Ping!

[CyberAnt]

I especially enjoyed his visit to Boeing the other day. As usual, he had some guy on the assembly line show him how to do the job. To me this says every job is important.

[Busywhiskers]

"...tons and tons of fat people..."


And all of them carrying a 96oz container of diet cola.

[BFM]

If they're gonna whack on us then how about quotes the Repubs have said in at least the past 10 years!

[Tribune7]

"We're the only nation in the world where all our poor people are fat."
--Phil Gramm (senator from Texas, 1985-)

Why is that stupid?

"The streets are safe in Philadelphia. It's only the people who make the unsafe."
--Frank Rizzo (mayor of Philadelphia, 1972-1980)

And why is that stupid? Anyway, Rizzo was Democrat as mayor.

[metalboy]

(before being edited for TV)"It`s all a vast right wing conspiracy-Bill and Monica conspired to meet in the right wing of the White House at midnight" -Hitlery Clinton

Hey, she finally finished her book

[TC Rider]

"In the United States today, we have more than our share of the nattering nabobs of negativism." --Spiro Agnew (vice president, 1969-1973).

Wasn't that line written by Buchannon?

[TC Rider]

Jesse Jackson - "I deny the allegations, and I deny the alligator."

[Commiewatcher]

"What's down is up, and what's up is down" - Al Gore (You kind of need the video with it for fullest effect.)

"...the winners of life's lottery" - Dick Gephart referring to "the rich"

[Verginius Rufus]

I believe the "nattering nabobs of negativism" line was written by William Safire.

[TC Rider]

I stand corrected. Both were White House speach writers at the time. After a quick Google I see that Safire has taken credit for it.

Next time, I'll Google first, post second.

[AgThorn]

I just copy them the way they are presented ... the Democrat quotes included a link to the republican, and visa-versa ... talk to the source webmaster!

[AgThorn]

gotcha!

[AgThorn]

Good questions, both, but send them to the author of the book/webpage, not me. The second one being a Democrat not Republican? really? Big mistake for the author, if that's so ... again, the website is the author's home page apparently, as these quotes are from there and from his book.

You don't the "stupidity" in Rizzo's statement?
