Repugs Say The Darndest Things

Hey, democrats don't have a firm handle on reality, but the GOP is truly from some sort of alternate, bizarro universe.

Pete Domenici (R-NM) still pumping that 'Chinese oil drilling off Cuba' stupidity

"MACDONALD: And you know what I think is upsetting a lot of Americans too is the idea that China owns leases off of Cuba. It’s not just China, it’s Vietnam, it’s Spain. But even though they’re not drilling yet –
DOMENICI: Sure they are!
MACDONALD: They haven’t started drilling yet

For Second Day In A Row, McCain Cites The Non-Existent ‘Czechoslovakia’

(It's right next to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, you sillies. But maybe it's just his wonderful sense of humor. You do remember his infamous rape joke, don't you?)

Boehner claims there’s no ‘wildlife’ in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

"In a press conference today previewing a House Republican trip to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge that’s meant to promote drilling, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) doubted the existence of actual wildlife in the refuge. “We’re going to look at this barren, Arctic desert where I’m hoping to see some wildlife,” said Boehner. “But I understand there’s none there.” Boehner repeated his skepticism during an interview on CNN, telling Wolf Blitzer, “I’ll be looking for all that wildlife.” Ironically, CNN paired Boehner’s interview with b-roll of actual wildlife moving around the refuge."

Jesse Helms, the man who in 1988 vigorously opposed the Kennedy-Hatch AIDS research bill, saying, "There is not one single case of AIDS in this country that cannot be traced in origin to sodomy."
Jesse Helms, the man who in 1995 said (in opposition to refunding the Ryan White Act) that the government should spend less on people with AIDS because they got sick due to their "deliberate, disgusting, revolting conduct.
