Quotes of the Week (with update)

“If Obama wins re-election, the Republican Party will react by moving right, not left.”

- Conservative writer Ramesh Ponnuru.

I'd like to see that. How will the GOP move more to the right than they are now? Are they going to start wearing swastikas on their arms?

And here is my favorite part of Bill Clinton's speech tonight:

"Though I often disagree with Republicans, I never learned to hate them the way the far right that now controls their party seems to hate President Obama and the Democrats."

That's a solid critique of the current GOP. In fact, the Republicans hate Obama and the Democrats so much that they not only refuse to deal with Democrats, but they openly brag about their refusal to do so and then actually threaten to deal with the Democrats even less if Obama wins reelection (as if less cooperation is possible).

That's pretty fucked up.

UPDATE:  Here is the best quote from the final night of the Democratic Convention:

“Mr. Romney — here’s a little advice.  Before you debate Barack Obama on foreign policy, you better finish the debate with yourself!”

Senator John Kerry, after pointing out the many Romney foreign policy flip flops over the past several years.
