Politicians say the darndest things!

[Krisken]

I've found that some of the most interestingly strange things things get said by politicians on a daily basis. So get ready, folks, here is todays "Politicians say the darnedest things!"

"It is not really our country so much is the problem, it's sort of the parasitic relationship that Canada, and France, and other countries have towards us, …You benefit from us, and we pay for that. And I resent that, and I want to figure out a way to solve that."- Senator Bob Corker, to Canada’s former Public Health Minister, Dr. Carolyn Bennett

In a way this is very true though. Canada is able to funnel a lot of it's money into social programs and it's health-care system because it only has to support a nominal military force. Some European Foreign Policy also banks on American support if things get really serious.

He's still a douche bag for saying it like that though.

Heh, well, I admit I'm trying to be a little more current than over 10 years ago.

The American people would not want to know of any misquotes that Dan Quayle may or may not make.

I am not part of the problem. I am a Republican.

I rather doubt they bank on America for that since y'all rather took your time waffling on helping out the last time. :laser:

Of course we waffled, we had a weaker military in 1939 than Portugal. Now we are the nominal super-power, and others look to our umbrella. In the next generation I guess we all will be looking to China to keep the world open to free trade, just not freedom.

...freedom.

I love that word. It's so loaded now that it can be used to justify almost any deplorable act.

Don't worry, there are many more deplorable acts committed against the idea of freedom.

Oh, I know it Covar. Tomorrow I'll have a new crazy quote to post up. I'd like to make it a once a day thing.

 

[Covar]

Excellent.

"We were wise when we didn't conquer Finland. It would have became a leaky wound...People at there are very stubborn,very stubborn..."

New day, new winner of the prestigious "Politicians say the darnedest things!" award!

"There's a joke out now that says the main value of the Cash for Clunkers program may be that we'll get a lot of cars with Obama stickers off the road." Governor Tim Pawlenty, on Fox News.

Yes, I'll get some Dems in here too, don't worry.
