A test on who is saying what:

Identify whether the following quotes were made by a Republican, a Democrat or a Communist:

1) "We have red lines beyond which starts the destruction of the moral foundations of our society"

2) "To conduct oneself <with harsh political rhetoric> in the international arena is the same as using the instruments of nationalism and segregation in [] domestic politics ...."

3) "By extending [] trading relations, we can create new markets for our people and support the political and economic changes that <their> people are demanding."

4) "Government helped <my> family be able to get on their feet again. By the way, that’s the way America works."

Reply with you guess - don't ruin it and give away the answers by Googling them. All quotes were made within the past few months.

I will post the attributions later this afternoon...

... despite the one troll who took notice, I'm still posting the answers.

How well did you guess?

Scroll down for answers:

















1) Vladimir Putin, United Russia Party

2) Putin again, discussing Mitt Romney

3) Democrat Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

4) Mitt Romney


Now some snark is going to point out that Putin is not "Communist". GFY.
