Surely you can find a couple of actual misstatements by Democrats as opposed to jokes made by them. Shouldn't be hard. Republicans don't have a monopoly on uneducated politicians.
Oh. I see. democrats just misspeak and are only joking around when they say dumbass shit. Yeah, they misspoke alright. But they weren't joking. They're just dumbasses.

Right. Except that most of you here continually need to be reminded of that, since it's mainly the Republicans you guys want to call out.

Then find a post to complain about that actually suggests that it's mainly Republicans.

Dan Quayle was a master astronaut and teacher of children in his day. The wonderful quotes left behind by good old Dan should never be forgotten.
I think JFK told the Great Wall of China that he was a jelly donut once.

But it sounded -fabulous-!
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

That was actually the Germans he said that to in a speech he gave at the Berlin Wall.

"James Bond is a man of honor, a symbol of real value to the free world." Ronald Regan ---once again confusing fiction and reality.
"I would like the government to do all it can to mitigate, then, in understanding, in mutuality of interest, in concern for the common good, our tasks will be solved." Warren G. Harding ---huh?
''What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.'' Dan Quale A wasted mind attempts to understand black politics
"I don't know that atheists should be regarded as citizens, nor should they be regarded as patriotic. This is one nation under God." George Bush ----Hard to define the scope of this blooper.
"Rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children learning?" George Bush ---And is George Bush learned?
"Politics gives guys so much power that they tend to behave badly around women. And I hope I never get into that." Bill Clinton ---Ah the unexamined self.
"Things are more like they are now than they ever were before."
Dwight D. Eisenhower --And will they be more like tomorrow, tomorrow?

"I haven't committed a crime. What I did was fail to comply with the law." David Dinkins, NYC Mayor
“But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.” Nancy Pelosi --- right because acting blind is better than controversy.
