Some interesting political quotes:
---------------
“Politicians are like diapers. They should both be changed frequently and for the same reason.” – Anonymous
People that say this and actually believe it really do not know anything about politicians and how politics works in the US. There is nothing wrong with career politicians. Actors, athletes, wrestlers, body builders turned politicians (with the exception of a few) look nice perhaps, but it's nice to have someone in office that's really given serious thought to government, public policy, and you can tell the person is very much invested in public service.

“A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls.” - Dan Quayle
Wow, what was GHWB thinking in 1988? Other than picking up a few votes in the midwest, I have no idea.

“Politics is more difficult than physics.” - Albert Einstein
Yeah, it really is, probably because there are no set rules and formulas to give you the right answer.

“Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.” – John AdamsToday's trouble would be Iraq. I still maintain that Saddam Hussein was never a serious threat to the US compared to the leaders of other countries, our time, money and resources could have more wisely spent. President Bush troubled a sensitive region in the Middle East, and now we are in a lot of trouble with an $8trillion debt and 3000+ Americans dead.

“Too bad ninety percent of the politicians give the other ten percent a bad reputation.” - Henry KissingerActually, I think it’s the other way around. “Politician” isn’t some dirty word, politicians are public servants elected to represent the interests of a group of people in government. Most of them do that.
----------------
“A free society is a place where it's safe to be unpopular.” - Adlai StevensonShort and to the point. President Bush declared Iraq a free society a few years ago. I’m not sure how safe it is to be a Kurd or Sunni there. :\

"What's Al Gore up to these days? Four hundred pounds....Did Al Gore actually swallow Michael Moore?" -Ann Coulter, at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference
First of all, Gore was never 400lbs. William Howard Taft actually was close to 400 lbs, Gore looks nothing like Taft. Second, doesn’t she have ANYTHING better to do? Dinner with Hannity?

“If you are not electing Christians, then in essence you are going to legislate sin.” -Katherine HarrisShe is in the ten percent of politicians giving the other 90 percent a bad reputation. How are people like her getting elected to the House of Representatives and almost to US Senate?!?!?!

“In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved.” –FDRThis is very relevant to politics today. Iraqis must be willing to fight to achieve and keep their freedom, the US cannot and should not continue fighting their civil war.

haha, my favorite comment is the Katherine Harris one. In my school newspaper on wednesday, there was a guest editorial from a freshman. She wrote about how abstinence-only education is the best way to go because "God has created the law with his words"...yeah...she'd be in that 10% category too.
Lol. Freshman don't really know anything.
Just saying God created the law, is IMO, a violation of the law.
