His own words speak for themselves.

“I was with some Vietnamese recently, and some of them were smoking two cigarettes at the same time. That’s the kind of customers we need! “

“Mr. Clinton better watch out if he comes down here. He’d better have a bodyguard. ”
“Your tax dollars are being used to pay for grade school classes that teach our children that cannibalism, wife-swapping and the murder of infants and the elderly are acceptable behavior.”

“It’s their deliberate, disgusting, revolting conduct that is responsible for the disease.”

“There is not one single case of AIDS in this country that
cannot be traced in origin to sodomy.”

“I’ve been portrayed as a caveman by some. That’s not true.
I’m a conservative progressive, and that means I think all men
are equal, be they slants, beaners or niggers.”

“If God had wanted us to use the metric system,
Jesus would have had 10 apostles.”

‘Nuff said.

He is a former US Senator.

Thanks for posting this

I read something about him yesterday that portrayed him as a curmudgeonly old man who really cared about America, like he’s dead now, let’s pretend he was decent.

Even in our country we know who that guy was. He’s one of the reasons we like to wear little canadian flags when we travel, so no one gets confused.

I can’t believe he dissed the metric system!
