What is the most ridiculous political statement

That based on your experience on the ground or what you're reading on CNN?  :D

Ya, shame on you. The body count is going lower, the terrorists attacks are getting less and less everyday and we are way ahead of schedule in our accomplishments... It's absolute paradise. Og course you would have to be "on the ground" to know any of this. :D

I don't know about you, pal...but I don't READ CNN.  I do watch it some time.

Lots of people READ CNN. It's called a web site. :D It tends to get a little more in-depth into stories, too, not being constrained by the top and bottom of the hour and commercial breaks.

 

Really, this little statement of yours goes a long way towards explaining why we're so contemptous of you.

What do you expect from a guy who can't figure out how to send his own email?

In the Boston Sunday Globe of November 10, 1940, Ambassador Joe Kennedy shared his opinion: "Democracy is finished in England. It may be here."

 

"People call me a pessimist. I say, 'What is there to be gay about? Democracy is all done.'"

"It depends on what the meaning of the words 'is' is."

The Karl Rove equivalent: "I didn't know her name, and didn't not leak her name."

 

Other ridiculous ones from others:

 

 

"I am against nation building."

 

"I did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky."

 

"I have denied having an affair with Gennifer Flowers, and so has she."

 

"I did not chop down the cherry tree."

 

"Poland is not part of the Eastern block." (or words to that effect)

 

"Iraqi oil revenue will pay for rebuilding Iraq."

 

Some of the best statements:

 

"Tear down this wall Mr. Gorbachev."

 

"I would compare Congress to a bunch of drunken sailors, but that would be unfair to the drunken sailors."

 

"We do not have a trillion dollar deficit because we tax too much. We have a trillion dollar deficit because we spend too much."

 

"We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them -- this morning, as they prepared for their journey, and waved good-bye, and slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God."

 

"How do you tell a Communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin."

 

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

 

And perhaps the best political statement:

 

"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

 

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

 

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
