Yes, many of my quotes are from Republicans but there's a binder full of democrats towards the bottom:
"Literally, if we took away the minimum wage – if conceivably it was gone – we could potentially, virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level."~Michelle Bauchman
" We have every mixture you can have. I have a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple. And we have talent."~James Watt
"So if we decrease the use of carbon dioxide, are we not taking away plant food from the atmosphere?"~John Shimkus
"Wind is God’s way of balancing heat. Wind is the way you shift heat from areas where it’s hotter to areas where it’s cooler. That’s what wind is. Wouldn’t it be ironic if in the interest of global warming we mandated massive switches to energy, which is a finite resource, which slows the winds down, which causes the temperature to go up? […] I mean, it does make some sense. You stop something, you can’t transfer that heat, and the heat goes up. It’s just something to think about."~Joe Barton
"In the emergency room they have what’s called rape kits where a woman can get cleaned out" - Texas state Rep. Jodie Laubenberg
"These Planned Parenthood women, the Code Pink women, and all of these women have been neutering American men and bringing us to the point of this incredible weakness...We are not going to have our men become subservient." — Rep. Allen West
"I would never approach a small-breasted woman." -- President Clinton
"I don't understand how they can call me anti-Latino when I've made four movies in Mexico." -- California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger
"Do you own sombreros? Do you know the Mexican hat dance?" -- Sidney Yates, U.S. representative from Illinois, addressing Hispanic high school students
"For a century and a half now, America and Japan have formed one of the great and enduring alliances of modern times." -- President Bush, a history major
"If the King's English was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me." -- Miriam "Ma" Ferguson, Texas governor
"I think incest can be handled as a family matter within the family." -- Jay Dickey Jr., U.S. representative from Arkansas
"These people are just like us. They love their children and keep themselves clean." -- Paul Hardy, Louisiana gubernatorial candidate, after visiting a housing project in New Orleans
