Obamacare sucks, it can’t be fixed.

A leader in the Democratic Party is a boss, in the Republican Party he is a leader.

I belong to no organized party. I am a Democrat.

In America the President reigns for four years, and Journalism governs forever and ever.

The Democratic position seems to be everything is going to be free. Free education. Free health care. Free housing. Free love. Free kittens, I don’t know.

Experience has shown how deeply the seeds of war are planted by economic rivalry and social injustice.

Remember, no one decides who they’re going to vote for based on the vice president. I mean that literally.

You want to know whether we’re better off? I’ve got a little bumper sticker for you: Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive. Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive! Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive!

This is pure speculation, but for a period of time, a lot of getting into a party was through fundraising and volunteer work, and Republican women had more time to do that than democratic women, who were out there getting jobs.

One lesson you better learn if you want to be in politics is that you never go out on a golf course and beat the President.

Practical politics consists in ignoring facts.

How long will it take the citizens of the United States, one wonders, to recognize that the house their country bombed in Iraq is the same one they were living in until it was foreclosed?

There has come into being a kind of a Shia belt from Tehran through Baghdad to Beirut. And this gives Iran the opportunity to reconstruct the ancient Persian Empire – this time under the Shia label.

Well, when you come down to it, I don’t see that a reporter could do much to a president, do you?

You’ve got to watch the politics of AIDS. The politics of AIDS can work both for and against the victims of AIDS.

A gaffe in Washington is someone telling the truth, and telling the truth has never hurt me.

True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.

People make a big fuss over you when you’re President. But I’m very serious about doing everything I can to make sure that it doesn’t go to my head.

Politics doesn’t make strange bedfellows – marriage does.

Like religion, politics, and family planning, cereal is not a topic to be brought up in public. It’s too controversial.

The spirit of this country is totally adverse to a large military force.

Politicians love regulating. That’s part of the whole power structure.

Any lady who is first lady likes being first lady. I don’t care what they say, they like it.

Gray Davis can run a dirty campaign better than anyone, but he can’t run a state.

Certainly in the next 50 years we shall see a woman president, perhaps sooner than you think. A woman can and should be able to do any political job that a man can do.

I own that I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive.

Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning.

Mankind, when left to themselves, are unfit for their own government.

What I’m asking for is hard. It’s easier to be cynical; to accept that change isn’t possible, and politics is hopeless, and to believe that our voices and actions don’t matter. But if we give up now, then we forsake a better future.

My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you I just signed legislation which outlaws Russia forever. The bombing begins in five minutes.

For a sitting U.S. president to see our allies as freeloaders is nuts.

As capitalism falters, the rich move their money out of the country, violence increases, and politicians promising prosperity are elected.

I think America has always been polarized.

I think there ought to be a strict separation or wall built between our religious faith and our practice of political authority in office. I don’t think the President of the United States should extoll Christianity if he happens to be a Christian at the expense of Judaism, Islam or other faiths.

War is not merely a political act but a real political instrument, a continuation of political intercourse, a carrying out of the same by other means.

If I don’t run for president, we’ll all be OK.

John F. Kennedy was the victim of the hate that was a part of our country. It is a disease that occupies the minds of the few but brings danger to the many.

We are all the President’s men.

Conservatism discards Prescription, shrinks from Principle, disavows Progress; having rejected all respect for antiquity, it offers no redress for the present, and makes no preparation for the future.

If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists – to protect them and to promote their common welfare – all else is lost.

Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he’d lie just to keep his hand in.

I wish I could make music about politics. I feel like it’s such an art and a talent that I admire tremendously, but when I step into the studio, I step out of the real world, and it’s therapeutic.

An election is a moral horror, as bad as a battle except for the blood; a mud bath for every soul concerned in it.

Being elected to Congress, though I am very grateful to our friends for having done it, has not pleased me as much as I expected.

I don’t think President Trump is a racist.

Americans… still believe in an America where anything’s possible – they just don’t think their leaders do.

I’m not a big politics guy.

Even after Independence, we have had to face the poison of casteism and communalism. How long these evils will continue? Whom does it benefit?

My wife told me if there is any rumors about me, it better be about politics and not about my social life.

I am not made for politics because I am incapable of wanting or accepting the death of the adversary.

Politically, the world is so confused right now – there’s so much suffering caused by various movements by various parties and people in power in government.

Things in our country run in spite of government, not by aid of it.

I have learned, in my life and work as a sportswriter, that big-time Sports and big-time Politics are not so far apart in America. They are both a means to the same end, which is victory… And why not? Victory is good for you, and don’t let anybody tell you different.
