"The old parties are husks, with no real soul within either, divided on artificial lines, boss-ridden and privilege-controlled, each a jumble of incongruous elements, and neither daring to speak out wisely and fearlessly on what should be said on the vital issues of the day."
Theodore Roosevelt
"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
"The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men."
Plato
"The reformer is always right about what is wrong. He is generally wrong about what is right."
GK Chesterton
"The thing we all have to understand to put these last two years in focus, is that liberals in this country care more about whether European leaders like us than they do about whether terrorists are killing us."
Rush Limbaugh
"The Vice Presidency is sort of like the last cookie on the plate. Everybody insists he won't take it, but somebody always does."
Bill Vaughan
"The White House: I don't know whether it's the finest public housing in America or the crown jewel of the prison system."
Bill Clinton
"There is -- in world affairs -- a steady course to be followed between an assertion of strength that is truculent and a confession of helplessness that is cowardly."
Dwight Eisenhower
"Thus far, the reputed idiot Bush has graduated from Yale and Harvard, made a stack of cash in the oil industry, become the first consecutive-term governor of Texas, defeated a dual-term VP for the presidency, and led his party to [November 5th's] extraordinary triumphs. Let his opponents keep calling him stupid; if they do, within five years Bush will be King of England, the Pope, and world Formula One motor racing champion."
Tim Blair
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
Theodore Roosevelt
"Too bad the only people who know how to run the country are busy driving cabs and cutting hair."
George Burns
"University politics are vicious precisely because the stakes are so small."
Henry Kissinger
"Washington is a city of Southern efficiency and Northern charm."
John F. Kennedy
"We are so concerned to flatter the majority that we lose sight of how very often it is necessary, in order to preserve freedom for the minority, let alone for the individual, to face that majority down."
William F. Buckley
"We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run over."
Ambrose Bierce
"Welfare's purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence."
Ronald Reagan
"We'll never know where John Kerry stands on an issue because he’ll take both sides – all three sides, four sides, however many sides there are – of an issue."
Rush Limbaugh
"When a politician is in opposition he is an expert on the means to some end; and when he is in office he is an expert on the obstacles to it."
GK Chesterton
"When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer 'Present' or 'Not guilty.'"
Theodore Roosevelt
"You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream -- the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order -- or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism."
Ronald Reagan
