They are the ultimate beer goggles

"People are actually getting very pissed off at this government shutdown. But Republicans say, 'Remember one thing. We are standing up for an important principle, and as soon as we figure out what it is, you will be the first to know.'" –Bill Maher



"This NBC News poll has Republicans freaking out. They're having what they call now a 'boomerang effect.' Whatever Republicans were going against, Big Government and Obamacare, now is more popular than ever. I love the Tea Party, they are the ultimate beer goggles, they make everyone look better." –Bill Maher



"Half the Republicans hate Ted Cruz real bad. In fact, Peter King said, 'No one has done more to strengthen Obamacare than Ted Cruz. But 
the other half of the Republicans, the truly crazy ones, they loves themselves some Ted Cruz. He is the Tea Party's dream candidate; he is a Sarah Palin that doesn't lactate." –Bill Maher
