Here are some of my favorite quotes from last week’s Republican National Convention:

“Barack Obama’s failed us. But look; it’s understandable. A lot of people fail at their first job.”

“We own this country.”

“I wish President Obama had succeeded because I want America to succeed. But his promises gave way to disappointment and division.  This isn’t something we have to accept.”

“‘Hope and Change’ has become ‘Divide and Conquer.’”

“I believe we have become paralyzed by our desire to be loved…Tonight, we choose respect over love. We are not afraid to take our country back.”

“The demographics race, we’re losing badly. We’re not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term.”

“I’ve come to realize that Barack Obama is the tattoo president. Like a big tattoo, it seemed cool when you were young.”
