Which one of these quotes from your leaders are you republicans most proud of.?

1) Rand Paul (R candidate Kentucky) let slip that he wanted the Obama administration to leave BP aloooooone!

2) Michele Bachmann(R Minnesota congresswoman) saying that the government was "nowhere to be found" after the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded...except, of course, they actually arrived within hours.

3) Sarah Palin (R vice presidential candidate) I told you so." Palin tweeted out to "extreme greenies" to gloat that the spill vindicates "Drill, Baby, Drill."

4) Haley Barbour (R Mississippi Gov. and my favorite) he's repeatedly insisted that the oil spill isn't worth fretting over. It "isn't anything like Exxon Valdez," Barbour claims, comparing the crude itself to caramel mousse, toothpaste, and the fuel sheen surrounding speed boats.

5) John Boehner (R congressman) "I think the people responsible in the oil spill--BP and the federal government--should take full responsibility for what's happening there,"

6) Joe Barton (R congressman) I think it is a tragedy of the first proportion that a private corporation can be subjected to what I would characterize as a shakedown, in this case a $20 billion shakedown," Barton said. I apologize. I do not want to live in a country where any time a citizen or a corporation does something that is legitimately wrong, is subject to some sort of political pressure that is, again, in my words, amounts to a shakedown. So I apologize."

    The new chief of the Republican celebration, Lord Limbaugh is the great consultant they've ever had. No one represents the again-wooden, neanderthal ideals of the purple celebration relatively just like the Lord himself.
