Obama himself has been highly supportive of Mubarak.

I really don’t like women who try to be men. All these politicians, I think they’re horrendous. We could have a brilliant future, but we have this terrible male vision of destroying everything. They’d better sort themselves out and become more womanly.

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

While democracy in the long run is the most stable form of government, in the short run, it is among the most fragile.

I’ve analyzed the best I can… and I have not found an impeachable offense, and therefore resignation is not an acceptable course.

As a matter of fact, I didn’t make a political speech outside of my state for 20 years.

I’m highly political. I spend an awful lot of time in the U.S. trying to influence decision-makers. But I don’t feel in tune with British politics.

Richard Nixon was an evil man – evil in a way that only those who believe in the physical reality of the Devil can understand it. He was utterly without ethics or morals or any bedrock sense of decency.

Governments are not representative. They have their own power, serving segments of the population that are dominant and rich.

I am certainly not politically affiliated with Mr. Obama.

Taking care of children has nothing to do with politics. I think perhaps with time, instead of there being a politicization of humanitarian aid, there will be a humanization of politics.

War should be the politics of last resort. And when we go to war, we should have a purpose that our people understand and support.

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive.

What is politics? Political system is equal to development politics plus political politics.

The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive.

If… many influential people have failed to understand, or have just forgotten, what we were up against in the Cold War and how we overcame it, they are not going to be capable of securing, let alone enlarging, the gains that liberty has made.

Lincoln said you cannot be President without spending some item on your knees. I have repeated that and a bunch of Atheists got all over me. Wait a minute. Does that mean that you cannot be President if you are an Atheist? I say yea that does mean that.

We are right to take alarm at the first experiment upon our liberties.

Why has government been instituted at all? Because the passions of men will not conform to the dictates of reason and justice, without constraint.

Republicans have been accused of abandoning the poor. It’s the other way around. They never vote for us.

All conservatism is based upon the idea that if you leave things alone you leave them as they are. But you do not. If you leave a thing alone you leave it to a torrent of change.

Democracy passes into despotism.

The truth of the matter is that Iran is a cancer.

The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all.

Democracy don’t rule the world, You’d better get that in your head; This world is ruled by violence, But I guess that’s better left unsaid.

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

I haven’t been very active in politics.

It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.

It’s easy being a humorist when you’ve got the whole government working for you.

Politics is the most important of the civil activities and has its own field of action, which is not that of religion.

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

I think members of the legislature, people who have to run for office, know the connection between money and influence on what laws get passed.

In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place, oblige it to control itself.

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

Domestic policy can only defeat us; foreign policy can kill us.

Obama has no way to conceal that Osama was executed in front of his children and wives, who are now under the custody of the authorities of Pakistan, a Muslim country of almost 200 million inhabitants, whose laws have been violated, its national dignity offended, and its religious traditions desecrated.

Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms.

Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.

Capitalism has worked very well. Anyone who wants to move to North Korea is welcome.

Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.

I have no further use for America. I wouldn’t go back there if Jesus Christ was President.

I don’t think generally politician come from democratic country. I think not that thinking. But sometimes little bit short-sighted. They are mainly looking for their next vote.

Barack Obama would not be President if he were dark skin. You know what I mean? That’s just the truth. I might not be as successful as I am now if I was dark skin.

We’ve switched from a culture that was interested in manufacturing, economics, politics – trying to play a serious part in the world – to a culture that’s really entertainment-based.

The human being is in the most literal sense a political animal, not merely a gregarious animal, but an animal which can individuate itself only in the midst of society.

When a new source of taxation is found it never means, in practice, that the old source is abandoned. It merely means that the politicians have two ways of milking the taxpayer where they had one before.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

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.

I loved being Secretary of State, that’s probably evident to everyone who watched me.

Trump just looks stupid trying to appeal to blacks and Latinos.

When Hillary served in the Senate, I saw her work day and night as a member of the Armed Services Committee – working with Republicans and Democrats to keep our military strong and protect our troops and their families.

Politics is a noble activity. We should revalue it, practise it with vocation and a dedication that requires testimony, martyrdom, that is to die for the common good.

Loyalty to the Nation all the time, loyalty to the Government when it deserves it.

But do I think that our actions in anyway violate the War Powers Resolution, the answer is no.

Remember, it is not about voting for the perfect candidate – there is no such thing. Presidents are human.

Socialism is the same as Communism, only better English.

There is probably a perverse pride in my administration… that we were going to do the right thing, even if short-term it was unpopular. And I think anybody who’s occupied this office has to remember that success is determined by an intersection in policy and politics and that you can’t be neglecting of marketing and P.R. and public opinion.

In the end, that’s what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope?

Nixon is one of the few in the history of this country to run for high office talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time and lying out of both sides.

My objection to Liberalism is this that it is the introduction into the practical business of life of the highest kind namely, politics of philosophical ideas instead of political principles.
