It's very unlikely he will survive as Speaker for 2 years. Maybe 2 months.

"We believe that basic to governmental integrity are unimpeachable ethical standards and irreproachable personal conduct by all people in government. We shall continue our insistence on honesty as an indispensable requirement of public service. We shall continue to root out corruption whenever and wherever it appears."

Republican Party Platform of 1956

"When it comes to climate change, some of the wealthiest people in the world have weighed the fate of the Earth and every living thing on it for untold generations to come, the seasons and the harvests, this whole exquisite planet we evolved on, and they have come down on the side of more profit for themselves, the least needy people the world has ever seen."

Rebecca Solnit

"Them that begin by burning books, end by burning men."

Heinrich Heine

Forced birth laws have never applied to rich people. They have always been able to go to another state or country to get the care they want. Those laws only apply to the people who can least afford an unwanted child.

The orange turd will blow the judge off and never pay a dime.

An economic crash won't bother rich people and will make everyone else more subservient. So of course Rs want to cause a crash.

"Republicans aren't an opposition party now. They're the Democrats crazy ex-girlfriend."

Bill Maher

A year in Club Fed isn't enough. $2,000 restitution isn't enough. How about a few years cleaning the Capitol every night?

George W. Bush

Some things never change.

Why wouldn't the Wyoming GOP try to move the state away from such a dependence upon Big Oil, instead of trying to cement that dependence in place?

Because the oil industry makes lots of bribes, excuse me, I mean campaign contributions.

"Religion has convinced people that there's an invisible man ... living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money."

George Carlin

The latest state law says all women must wear white bonnets.

"Americans are not getting screwed by the Republican Party. They are getting screwed by Large Corporations that bought and own the Republican Party. "

Molly Ivins

"Here in the 21st Century the Republicans have become the new Know Nothing Party. Just as the original Know Nothings employed fear, bigotry, ignorance and hate to motivate its base, so too does the Republican Party."

John Atcheson

"The current [Supreme Court] majority's approach is itself a kind of undead constitutionalism"one in which the dictates of the Constitution retrospectively shift with whatever Fox News happens to be furious about. Legal outcomes preferred by today's American right conveniently turn out to be what the Founding Fathers wanted all along."

Adam Serwer

"When the politicians complain that TV turns the proceedings into a circus, it should be made clear that the circus was already there, and that TV has merely demonstrated that not all the performers are well trained."

Edward R. Murrow

If the GOP still had a platform, which they don't, but if they did it would be "--- you."

Bill Maher

"There's a definition of insanity currently making the rounds: that it's doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. But that can also be a symptom of just plain stupidity."

Howard M. Kindel

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

Theodore Roosevelt

"We are the Christian Taliban, and we will not stop until The Handmaid's Tale is a reality."

white nationalist Vincent James Fox

"The right-wing movement is working to end America's multiracial democracy and replace it with a pseudo-democratic Christian-fascist plutocracy, where a small minority of wealthy white men and their allies will rule over American society without resistance or challenge. In local, national and state elections across the country, various kinds of right-wing extremists are seeking office as Republicans. They understand today's Republican Party to be their natural home.
