One of the things being in politics has taught me is that men are not a reasoned or reasonable sex.

I have not endorsed Trump and will not do so.

There’s no political point worth my son’s life.

We Conservatives hate unemployment.

I grew up upper-class. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar. We’re African-American, and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like the Jacksons. But I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

To some degree it matters who’s in office, but it matters more how much pressure they’re under from the public.

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

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.

Romney and Ryan would do a much better job running the country, and that’s what everybody needs to know.

The more people who are dependent on government handouts, the more votes the left can depend on for an ever-expanding welfare state.

Many people, including some conservatives, have been very impressed with how brainy the president and his advisers are. But that is not quite as reassuring as it might seem.

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

I don’t see the wisdom in modern politicians that I once saw in men like Dean Acheson, David Bruce, or George Marshall. In my day, the northeastern establishment dominated foreign policy formulation, but the composition and distribution of our population is very different today.

I think that both parties should declare the debt limit as a political weapon of mass destruction which can’t be used. I mean, it is silly to have a country that has 237 years building up its reputation and then have people threaten to tear it down because they’re not getting some other matter.

It is just as important that business keep out of government as that government keep out of business.

In war, you can only be killed once, but in politics, many times.

Israelis would mostly breathe a sigh of relief if Palestinians were to disappear.

I think America has always been polarized.

National character is only another name for the particular form which the littleness, perversity and baseness of mankind take in every country. Every nation mocks at other nations, and all are right.

I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.

It was the Congress that imposed ‚Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,‘ it was certainly my position, my recommendation to get us out of an even worse outcome that could have occurred.

You can’t be in politics unless you can walk in a room and know in a minute who’s for you and who’s against you.

We need an adult in the White House. When making life-or-death, war-or-peace decisions, a president can’t just pop off or lash out irrationally.

As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss.

People have a negative impression of New York that I don’t think is quite fair.

President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.

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

If you’re in business or politics, you need to have an intense understanding of what’s going on around you.

It is a fine game to play – the game of politics – and it is well worth waiting for a good hand before really plunging.

I don’t want to express my opinion about actual politics, because if I do, I have to be responsible for my decision.

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

The first lesson of economics is scarcity: there is never enough of anything to fully satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics.

One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes a revolution in order to establish a dictatorship.

I am not a communist and neither is the revolutionary movement.

I don’t follow politics much.

Obamacare sucks, it can’t be fixed.

To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea.

To the women and children, T stands for tender. To the bad guys and thugs, it stands for tough.

The 1928 Republican Convention opened with a prayer. If the Lord can see His way clear to bless the Republican Party the way it’s been carrying on, then the rest of us ought to get it without even asking.

I stay out of politics because if I begin thinking too much about politics, I’ll probably… drop writing children’s books and become a political cartoonist again.

Some say we should not engage in activism. Instead we should leave everything to our politicians and just vote for a change instead. But what do we do when there is no political will? What do we do when the politics needed are nowhere in sight?

In our age there is no such thing as ‚keeping out of politics.‘ All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.

Liberals are not always so liberal with people who disapprove – disapprove of their point of view.

The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.

Being beautiful is not so fun when you’re in a business with all men.

Obama has succeeded in descending even below George W. Bush in approval in the Arab world. It’s minuscule, few percent.

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.

People tend to think that because I’m a performer and I don’t go to a regular high school that I haven’t personally been affected by bullies. But it’s actually quite the contrary.

The fact is that I find more most men are more open, more generous, and much more stimulating than the majority of females I know.

Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers.

A specter is haunting Europe – the specter of communism.

I consider myself a moderate Republican. I have very, very moderate social views, and I’m pretty strong on, on defense matters.

I don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.

Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them.

I think our politicians could learn a lot from Mandela.

I think that if I would talk on a political subject, if I talk about it, it would divide the audience on that issue. That’s not my issue.

I’m not a conservative of any kind.

Ancient Rome declined because it had a Senate, now what’s going to happen to us with both a House and a Senate?

Divide and rule, the politician cries; unite and lead, is watchword of the wise.

I am neither bitter nor cynical but I do wish there was less immaturity in political thinking.
