This Month’s Trivia Quiz subject: Name that Republican

Note Since this is a slightly different format than the previous quizzes, whenever possible the answer selections will give additional clues as to what the correct answer might be.

Question 1 • "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I am from the government and I am here to help.” • Dan Quayle • Bob Dole • Ronald Reagan • Dick Cheney

Comment Alert!!! - This quote has always infuriated liberals because they favor big government. Never have these words been truer than in the political climate we are in. We are in one of the largest governmental increases in American history. Government is slowly taking over the economy and healthcare is next on the hit list. This quote is a reflection about how millions of people feel about that.

Question 2 • "Whether we bring our enemies to justice, or bring justice to our enemies, justice will be done.“ • Richard Nixon • George H. W. Bush • George W. Bush • Arnold Shwarzenegger

Comment Alert!!! • - President Bush may not have been the best orator, but when he said something he was blunt. This quote truly symbolizes the determination of a man to get those people who commit evil acts. Justice is something that liberals often lack the courage to go after and is one of the pillars of the Republican Party.

Question 3 • “I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves.” • Ronald Reagan • Richard Nixon • Newt Gingrich • Glenn Beck

Comment Alert!!! • - This further reinforces the notion that big government is not necessary. President Obama and the Democrats are attempting to take over the healthcare system and just passed the cap and trade bill. The whole purpose of that bill is to have control over what we can and cannot do. We the people do not need protection.

Question 4 • “It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you.” • Abraham Lincoln • Dick Cheney • Ronald Reagan • John McCain

Comment Alert!!! • - Many people often espouse political thoughts without realizing the consequences of their actions. Americans are a privileged people and we want to spread our way of life around the world. This quote shows how we can forget the things we take for granted because we have always had them.

Question 5 • “We're no longer staring into the abyss of defeat and we can now look ahead to the genuine prospect of success.” • Richard Nixon • Ronald Reagan • Newt Gingrich • John McCain

Comment Alert!!! • - Senator McCain said this when it was finally realized that the troop surge is working in Iraq. Americans were beginning to give up home and the Democrats wanted to cut and run. Because of determined leadership, we were able to turn things around and provide democracy for a country that has never had it and honor our men and women in uniform by getting the job done.

Question 6 • “Hopefully, we can build bridges, but we also have to draw lines.” • Rudy Guiliani • Fred Thompson • John McCain • Mike Huckabee

Comment Alert!!! • - This quote, while blunt, is what Republicans stand for. We are open to bipartisanship, but some things are just too extreme. Now, more than ever before, we need to draw a line in the sand to stop the destruction of our country from within..

Question 7 • “If you work hard and play by the rules, this country is truly open to you. You can achieve anything.” • Ronald Reagan • Arnold Swarzenegger • John McCain • Rush Limbaugh

Comment Alert!!! • America is a place for opportunity, where anyone can work hard for success. Governor Schwarzenegger is a prime example of arriving here as an immigrant. The important thing is to play by the rules, a concept many forget.

Question 8 • “Let me tell you who we conservatives are: we love people. When we look out over the United States of America, when we are anywhere, when we see a group of people, such as this or anywhere, we see Americans. We see human beings. We don't see groups. We don't see victims.” • Newt Gingrich • Ronald Reagan • Bob Dole • Rush Limbaugh

Comment Alert!!! • - Rush Limbaugh has had controversy surrounding things that he says, but this is the best statement of what a conservative is. We are some of the nicest people you will meet, who are principled and average people.

Question 9 • “Change is not a destination, just as hope is not a strategy • John McCain • Fred Thompson • Rudy Guiliani • John McCain

Question 10 • “The enemy is in front of us. The enemy is behind us. The enemy is to the right and to the left. They can’t get away this time!” • General Dwight D. Eisenhower • General Douglas McArthur • Richard Nixon • Ronald Reagan

Question 11 • We have to make America the best place in the world to do business. • Bob Dole • Gerald Ford • Dan Quayle • Dick Cheney

Question 12 • Presidential ambition is a disease that can only be cured by embalming fluid. • John McCain • Mike Huckabee • Fred Thompson • Alan Keyes

Question 13 • When you confront a problem you begin to solve it. • John McCain • Mike Huckabee • Fred Thompson • Rudy Guiliani

Question 14 • When I was on my way to the podium a gentleman stopped me and said I was as good a politician as I was an actor. What a cheap shot! • Ronald Reagan • Arnold Schwarzenegger • John Wayne • Sonny Bono

Question 15 • “Great things are rarely easy things. They are most often risky things, with just as great a chance for failure as for success.” • John McCain • Mike Huckabee • Fred Thompson • Rudy Guiliani

Tie Breaker I think if you look at people, whether in business or government, who haven't had any moral compass, who've just changed to say whatever they thought the popular thing was, in the end they're losers.
