RECENT ACTUAL QUOTES…

Posted in Uncategorized by Baba - Oct 29, 2022

Democrats seem to have a “Say What Sounds Best To Get Votes” campaign in-progress… here’s a few verbatim examples from the good folks at The Patriot Post:

“Today, the most common price of gas in America is $3.39, down from over $5 when I took office.” —Joe Biden

“When I took office, the economy was in ruins.” —Joe Biden

“The American people are seeing the benefits of this economy that works for them.” —Joe Biden

“We the Democrats are the ones that are fiscally responsible. Let’s get that straight now, okay?” —Joe Biden

“Republican leadership in Congress has made it clear: They will crash the economy next year by threatening the full faith and credit of the United States.” —Joe Biden

“It’s passed. I got it passed by a vote or two.” —Joe Biden regarding student loan cancellation

“I have more substantive experience on the issues facing the country, both in foreign policy and domestic policy, than any president ever.” —Joe Biden

“One of the reasons for inflation is the incredible level of corporate greed. Check out the profits of the oil companies. The drug companies. The food companies. … There are studies out there that estimate that 50% of inflation has to do with corporate greed.” —Senator Bernie Sanders

“Right-wing extremists already have a plan to literally steal the next presidential election.” —Hillary Clinton

Circling the Wagons

“It was really strange to me that [Mehmet Oz] chose to bully a stroke victim. Right? Like, he obviously was bullying him. … It takes real bravery to allow people to see your weakness, right? And we know that [John] Fetterman’s cognitive abilities have not been compromised.” —”The View” co-host Sunny Hostin

“The Republican Party is running a bunch of ads about showing Fetterman stumbling on things because of the stroke. What kind of a doctor is behind that? Aren’t you supposed to do no harm? It’s so unempathetic to the guy.” —”The View” co-host Joy Behar

Theater of the Absurd

“When I hear people talk about inflation … we have to change that subject.” —House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

“High turnout and voter suppression can take place at the same time.” —White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre

“Two things can be true: 1) GA GOP tried to suppress Black votes by new ID requirements and changes to laws, and 2) GA voters, especially Black voters, rallied despite these efforts to turn out in droves. Don’t get it twisted. It’s still voter suppression, even when it fails.” —actor George Takei

“I’m not going to say that the GOP are Nazis at this point or whatever, but it certainly sounds very familiar to what happened in Germany, which is a bunch of citizens — Adolf Hitler gets a third of the vote. Nobody thought it could happen there. They kind of went along because they said he was going to solve the economy and fix inflation. … And then, oh, lo and behold, [a] few years later they lost their democracy, and they’re all like, ‘How’d that happen here?’ That’s my worry. That is my worry. Obviously, the price of a hamburger, the price of milk, the price of gas is concerning, but that is a short-term problem. The loss of a democracy will decimate everyone’s freedom.” —former George W. Bush chief strategist Matthew Dowd

“On January 6th, this was all about race. All of the areas that they talked about having suspicious votes were Atlanta, Detroit, Philadelphia, and it was just another effort to deny African Americans a way to express themselves, to vote, to participate in the American experiments. And it’s an ugly continuation of Jim Crow.” —The Lincoln Project’s Stuart Stevens

“Do you think it’s time to ask for friends and allies to come over and help us monitor our elections? We used to do that in other burgeoning and threatened democracies.” —MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace

“I don’t think any state or anybody should have the right to do that [ban gender-affirming healthcare]. As a moral question and as a legal question. I just think it’s wrong.” —Joe Biden

“Some airlines, if you want six more inches between you and the seat in front, you pay more money but you don’t know it until you purchase your ticket. Look, folks, these are junk fees, they’re unfair, and they hit marginalized Americans the hardest, especially low-income folks and people of color.” —Joe Biden

“Today, 95% of our school buses are fueled with diesel fuel, which contributes to very serious conditions that are about health and about the ability to learn.” —Vice President Kamala Harris
