What Americans are saying: The politicians

While it’s one thing for a disgruntled Wal-Mart employee to furiously type in ludicrous statesments under a psyeudonym like “SuperAmerican1971,” it’s another when politicians, or wanna-be politicians let the verbal madness fly.

What the politicians are saying

“If you are not electing Christians, tried and true, under public scrutiny and pressure, if you’re not electing Christians, then in essence you are going to legislate sin … Whenever we legislate sin and we say abortion is permissible and we say gay unions are permissible, then average citizens who are not Christians, because they don’t know better, we are leading them astray and it’s wrong.”

– Rep. Katherine Harris, R-Fla. and Fla. electorate, 2000

_________

“I’m responsible for the federal government,”

– President George W. Bush

_________

“This fellow here over here with the yellow shirt, Macaca, or whatever his name is.

– Sen. George Allen, R-Va and besmircher of his father’s name.

_________

“You guys in New York can’t get a hole in the ground fixed, and it’s five years later. So let’s be fair.”
