A nice, entertaining idea of putting down your favorite dumb-ass, oxymoronic, funny quote that actually came out of the lips of a Republican struck me and I thought starting a thread might be fun. As of right now I only have two, but they are goodies and they will start the thread off thusly:

“In order to get a [rebate](http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-501743_162-3744461.html) you’ve got to put in some bait first.”-U.S. Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Tx)

“We are prepared to vote against all earmarks requested by us.”-U.S. Sen. Jon Cornyn (R-Tx)
