If I were to run a democratic political campaign, my commericals would be kick ass

[beachbum bob]

Have simple commercials with a number of the idiotic statements made by republicans over the years scrolling on the screen in silence....things like the sea water is going up because of falling rocks...there 100's of even more idiot statements out there from the likes of Michelle Bachman who herself is a treasure trove...


then at the end, a 10 second voice over of "And you want this people making decisions for you and your children and grandchildren?"


find some of the great GOP foot in mouth quotes....I bet we can have 3 or dozens pretty quickly

1. Joe Barton, a gift that always give:

Joe Barton has used the threat of global warming to combat something he hates even more: wind energy. In a 2009 hearing, Barton implied that wind is a "finite resource" and that harnessing it would "slow the winds down" which would "cause the temperature to go up."


C-Span in March 2007, Joe Barton attempts to discount climate-change studies by explaining that temperature is determined by cloud shape. But his discussion of the various shapes — "tall clouds or skinny clouds, short clouds, fat clouds, high clouds, low clouds" — comes off as more Sesame Street than science.

"Yeah, I would." – Nevada assemblyman Jim Wheeler, when asked if he would vote to reinstate slavery if his constituents wanted it
