quotes

Take our politicians: they're a bunch of yo-yos. The presidency is now a cross between a popularity contest and a high school debate, with an encyclopedia of cliches the first prize.
Saul Bellow

Politics: A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage.
Ambrose Bierce

Democracy is being allowed to vote for the candidate you dislike least.
Robert Byrne

If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal.
Emma Goldman

It is not in the nature of politics that the best men should be elected. The best men do not want to govern their fellowmen.
George MacDonald

In politics, if you want anything said, ask a man; if you want anything done, ask a woman.
Margaret Thatcher

The United States brags about its political system, but the President says one thing during the election, something else when he takes office, something else at midterm and something else when he leaves.
Deng Xiaoping
