1 They shouldn’t have to be fleeced and make chumps to have to pay for perpetual unemployment and all the rest — they’ve got to be legitimate claims. - Michele Bachmann

2. ''I believe there’s about 78 to 81 members of the Democratic Party that are members of the Communist Party,” - Allen West

3. ”I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them other people’s money. I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn their money and provide for themselves and their families. The best way to do that is to get the manufacturing sector of the economy rolling.”
~Rick Santorum

4. If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be....Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the `criminal justice system,' I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal. - Ron Paul (claims he didn't write this years after he claimed he did, unlike the source where I got this quote, I am not giving him the benefit of the doubt)

5. You can’t find another thinker or writer who did a better job of describing and laying out the moral case for capitalism than Ayn Rand.” ~Paul Ryan

6. “Give the park police more ammo.” ~Newt Gingrich, responding to a reporter who asked what to do about the homeless a few days after the police shot a homeless man in front of the White House.

7. "PETA is not happy that my dog likes fresh air." - Mitt Romney

8. "Our law enforcement agencies have found bodies in the desert either buried or just lying out there that have been beheaded," - Jan Brewer (law enforcement says they have no records of these incidents)

9. It's pretty clear that over the last three months the economy has paused. And it's also pretty clear the American people are still demanding and asking the question, 'Where are the jobs?' And the reason we don't have new jobs is because of the job-killing agenda pursued by President Obama and his allies in the Congress. -John Boehner (this one preceding no jobs bills by House Republicans in the next 3 years)

10. "Dr. Laura: don't retreat...reload!" - Sarah Palin defending Dr. Laura's racist rant.


And of course since I included 2 quotes from women, many a Republican would claim I am singling out Republican women to pick on.
