Have you been paying attention to the republican primaries? Well, you need to since a lot of things hang in the balance during this election year … health care, the economy, education (just to name a few). And for purely selfish reasons, knowing what’s going on will make you appear smarter to your friends, impress your professors, and make you look less like a typical, self-absorbed college student (even if you really are one).

 

At the very least, you can check out the Daily Show or The Colbert Report on a nightly basis. They actually do a pretty good job of keeping their viewers current on the most important happenings – and they are hilarious.

 

But, for those of you who have been paying attention, I thought it would be fun to play a little game called, “Guess that GOP Candidate.” It’s really simple to play; all you have to do is read the quotes below, try to guess which remaining GOP candidate made that statement, and then hover your mouse over "WHO SAID THIS" to see if you are right.

 

Guess that GOP Candidate!

 

1."PETA is not happy that my dog likes fresh air."   
 
WHO SAID THIS? ROMNEY -in response to putting dog on roof
 
2. "A mere forty years ago, beach volleyball was just beginning. No bureaucrat would have invented it, and that's what freedom is all about." 
 
WHO SAID THIS? GINGRICH
 
3. “Satan has his sights on the United States of America!”
 
 
 
4. “If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be." 
WHO SAID THIS? PAUL
 
 
5. “ One of the things I will talk about, that no president has talked about before, is I think the dangers of contraception in this country. Many of the Christian faith have said, well, that’s OK; contraception is OK. It’s not OK. It’s a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.” 

WHO SAID THIS? SANTORUM

 
6. “It would help the poor people who need jobs. Minimum wage is a mandate. We’re against mandates so why should we have it? It would be very beneficial.” 

WHO SAID THIS? PAUL

 
7 "Go get a job after you take a bath."  

WHO SAID THIS? GINGRICH

 
8. "I like being able to fire people who provide services to me." 

WHO SAID THIS? ROMNEY

 
9. “President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob!” 

WHO SAID THIS? SANTORUM

 
10. "I love this state. The trees are the right height." 

WHO SAID THIS? ROMNEY

 
11. "I'm not a natural leader. I'm too intellectual; I'm too abstract; I think too much." 

WHO SAID THIS? GINGRICH

 
12. "You're thinking of Europe as Germany and France. I don't. I think that's old Europe." 

WHO SAID THIS? PAUL

 

So how’d you do? And for those of you who’ve never heard these quotes before -- I know what you’re thinking, but no, I did not makes this stuff up (follow the links in the answers if you don’t believe me). This is really what we’re dealing with here, and come November one of these braniacs will have a 50/50 chance at being the next commander and chief … scary thought.
