Campaign time is a great time for a laugh. Here's a few remarks from those who want to be the leader of the free world. No, don't be scared, just drink more tequila!
Mitt Romney aka Mr. Plastic
"I'm happy to learn that after I speak you're going to hear from Ann Coulter. That's a good thing. I think it's important to get the views of moderates." --right before Coulter called John Edwards a "faggot."
"My sons are all adults and they've made decisions about their careers and they've chosen not to serve in the military and active duty and I respect their decision in that regard. One of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping me get elected because they think I'd be a great president."
"PETA is not happy that my dog likes fresh air." --on strapping his dog to the top of the car.
"I should tell my story. I'm also unemployed." —Mitt Romney, speaking in 2011 to unemployed people in Florida. Romney's net worth is over $200 million.
"I get speaker's fees from time to time, but not very much." —Mitt Romney, who earned $374,000 in speaking fees in one year according to according to his personal financial disclosure.
"I love this state. The trees are the right height." —Mitt Romney, campaigning in Michigan.
The always lovable Rick Santorum
"Satan has his sights on the United States of America. This is a spiritual war." -- in 2008.
I have nothing, absolutely nothing against anyone who's homosexual. If that's their orientation, then I accept that. And I have no problem with someone who has other orientations.
"One of the things I will talk about, that no president has talked about before, is I think the dangers of contraception in this country.... Many of the Christian faith have said, well, that's okay, contraception is okay. It's not okay. It's a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be."
"In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That's not to pick on homosexuality. It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be."
Just to keep things "fair and balanced" here's a couple from that party guy Joe Biden
"When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened." Or maybe it was the radio.
"Stand up, Chuck, let 'em see ya." –- to Missouri state Sen. Chuck Graham, who is in a wheelchair.
Don't know about you all, but when we hear stuff like this coming from our leaders... well, we need a shot of tequila. Okay, not really "a" shot, maybe more.
