Quotes from the Republicans

MITT ROMNEY:
(1) "Call me old fashioned, but I don't support gay marriage nor do I support civil union."

(2:A-BEFORE)"I promised to "preserve and protect a woman's right to choose" and declared "I will "not change" any provisions in Massachusetts' pro-choice laws"

(B:-AFTER) "My views on abortion have "evolved" and "changed" since 2002 such that I now considers myself a "pro-life governor" who wishes "the laws of our nation could reflect that view." A promise made, a promise is broken! (This is just a small piece of flip-flopping)

(3) "I have spent hours reading a wide array of reviews on the minimum wage and its impact on the economy, and there's no question raising the minimum wage causes a loss of jobs."

(4) "Costs are down, but environmental enforcement is up".
(B) So Romney cut $7 million from the maintenance budget for the state's parklands, which are the sixth largest state park system in the country. Also cut $154,590 for environmental law enforcement, $288,900 for cleaner water in communities, and $181,886 for hazardous waste cleanup.

(5-A) "I ran on the platform of cleaning up the mess on Beacon Hill, [and] reform means changing the way things are."
(B) "Legislatures by and large, despite the political titles, are conservative. They don't want to change the way things work. So of course it's going to be a battle."

(6) "If I'm president, we'll put in an E-Verify system to make sure that we can find out who's here illegally and not, and crack down on people who come here illegally."

(6-A:)"If they graduated from a Massachusetts high school after attending it for at least three years and signed an affidavit affirming that they intended to seek citizenship."
(B) "Massachusetts should not reward illegal immigration."
(C) *Vetoed a bill that would have allowed illegal immigrants to obtain in-state tuition rates at state colleges.*

(d) *vetoed $5.7 million in state funding for flood control in Peabody six months after the town was flooded.*

(7) "I know how to veto. I like vetoes. I've vetoed hundreds of spending appropriations as governor." (Just imagine all the vetoes he would do should he becomes President!)

(8) "Patronage will be replaced by professionalism, and secrecy will be replaced by openness." (Let's hope No more fraudulence schemes secrets including that of Rick Scott!) Turn right or turn left? Ask Mitt Romney!

RICK PERRY:
(1) "Social Security a “violent” attack on core American values."

(2) "It was “unprincipled” to establish the Department of Homeland Security."

(3) “I wouldn’t have written that book if I was going to run for the presidency of the United States."

(4) "Ponzi schemes — are illegal in this country for a reason,” “By any measure, Social Security is a failure.”

(4) "Asked about the chairman of the Federal Reserve, he used the word "treasonous."

TEA-PARTY:
(1) "I hereby declare that my job creation potential is now ceased, I'm on strike!"
(2) "We are angry at President Obama because he is helping the people too much."
(3) "President Obama should let them (the people) stay poor and suffer."


MICHELE BACHMANN:
(1) "When I grew up here in Iowa, we owned our own health insurance. We didn't necessarily have it from our employer,"

(2) "Slavery had a disastrous impact on African-American families, yet sadly a child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household* than was an African American baby born after the election of the USA’s first African-American President." *One can't help oneself but asking what's that have to do with the President!*

(4) "I don't judge gays, everyone has dignity and honor."

(5) In younger days eating mayonnaise, lettuce and Wonder Bread sandwiches and living a safe and idyllic, if modest, childhood."

RON PAUL:
(1)"If you're in a campaign for only gaining power, that is one thing; if you're in a campaign to influence ideas and the future of the country, it's never over."

(2) "Boy, it sure burns me to have a national holiday for Martin Luther King."

(3) "Raising the debt ceiling is a matter of principle." *Paul did not support raising the debt limit.*

(4) "We want to end the war, we want a gold standard, and their view is that people just can’t handle all this freedom." (*But Republicans don't want the war to end, so what is it?*)

(5) "Opposes federal flood insurance, farm subsidies and the Department of Education."

(6) “I believe there are literally millions of more people now concerned about the very things I talked about four years ago.... The excessive spending, the entitlement system, the foreign policy, as well as the monetary system." (Ron Paul against entitlement programs too like Medicare and Social Security; but again show me a Republican that will not target these programs and I will show you a Tea-party that support these programs!*)

(7) "proposing to cut $1 trillion, eliminate five federal bureaucracies, end foreign wars, and rein in the Federal Reserve in Year 1 of a President Paul administration." *Should Ron Paul becomes President, in his first year as stated, he will cut $ 1 trillion which include Medicare and Social Security* *Ron Paul himself thinks Medicare and Social Security are ponzi Schemes!* Very interesting* huh!
(8) "We live in Revolutionary times."


ERIC CANTOR:
(1)"The idea is that the government can be counted on to spend more wisely than the people."
Voted against raising the minimum wage to US$ 7.25 in 2007. It's seem that Republicans are known for voting against raising the minimum wage. Yet want to continue giving tax break to big Corporates.

HERMAN CAIN:
(1) "If you don't have a job or you are not rich blame yourself." (What Herman Cain don't understand is that his so-call pizza business that he happen to have made millions from is not the ticket for success for millions of people that are now out of work!)

A TRIBUTE TO PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA FOR ALL HE HAS DONE IN HIS FIRST TERM AND LOOK FORWARD FOR WHAT HE PLAN TO DO FOR THE PEOPLE AND THE ECONOMY IN HIS NEXT TERM!
