The GOP presidential candidates race has been nothing short of displays of the strange, bizarre and unexpected. This includes their penchant to invoke pop culture references from Pokemon to Tim Tebow while debating or campaigning.
Here are some of the most memorable quotes, from the remaining list of candidates as well as those who are no longer running:
* "The next generation deserves trust in government. We have no trust left. The next generation deserves a Congress with term limits. We need a candidate who's going to lead a Grateful Dead tour of this country, who rallies the support of the American people in getting term limits and closing the revolving door of lobbyists." -- Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, during a campaign rally earlier this month in Hampstead, N.H., according to Mother Jones.
* "There are a lot of folks that said Tim Tebow wasn't going to be a very good NFL quarterback. There are people that stood up and said, 'Well, he doesn't have the right throwing mechanisms, or he's not playing the game right.' And he won two national championships, and that looked pretty good. We were the national champions in job creation back in Texas. And so, am I ready for the next level? Let me tell you, I hope I am the Tim Tebow of the Iowa caucuses." -- Texas Gov. Rick Perry, during a debate in Iowa last month, according to the Los Angeles Times.
* "I believe these words came from the "Pokemon" movie. I'm not sure who the original author is, so don't go write an article about the poet, but it says a lot about where I am- where I am with my wife and my family, and where we are as a nation. Life can be a challenge. Life can seem impossible. It's never easy when there's so much on the line. But you and I can make a difference. There's a mission just for you and me." -- Herman Cain, during his withdrawal speech last month, according to the HuffPost Entertainment.
* "Mr. Speaker, you have a super PAC ad that attacks me. It's probably the biggest hoax since Bigfoot. The people who have looked at it have said this ad is entirely false." -- Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, speaking to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich during a debate Jan. 16, according to Fox Nation.
* "I think he compared that to Pearl Harbor? I think it's more like Lucille Ball at the chocolate factory." -- Romney, describing Gingrich's failure to get on Virginia primary ballot, according to CBS News' Political Hotsheet.
* "They said that the way they're looking at this is sort of like "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." You have one candidate who is just a little too radioactive, little too hot....And then we have another candidate who's just too darn cold?We need someone who is just right." -- Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, while campaigning in Lexington, S.C., on Friday, according to Politico.
