Who Said it: A Republican or an Insane Person?

Posted by Allen Clifton


I thought it would be fun to play a little game I call “Who said it: A Republican or an Insane Person.”

Now, I know what some of you are thinking, “But most Republicans are insane.” That might be true for some, but let’s just go with declared Republicans up against actual insane people (though not all will have been declared legally insane–but the majority of people would call them crazy).

The rules are simple. I’m going to list a few quotes and you simply have to guess who said it, a Republican or an insane person (a piece of paper and something to write with might help).

Ready?

1) “I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them money, I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money.”

A) Republican
B) Insane Person

2) “I can’t judge you. I have no malice against you and no ribbons for you. But I think that it is time that you all start looking at yourselves, and judging the lie that you live in.”

A) Republican
B) Insane Person

Each wrong answer, I erred on the side of believing it was a repug who said it, not an insane person. Amazing.
