[QUOTE="vintageracer, post: 65868, member: 1729"] [B]POLITICS[/B] What is Politics? Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect them each from the other. ~Oscar Am Ringer, "the Mark Twain of American Socialism." I offered my opponents a deal: "if they stop telling lies about me, I will stop telling the truth about them". ~Adlai Stevenson, campaign speech, 1952.. A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country. ~ Texas Gunman 19th century American businessman I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians. ~Charles de Gaulle, French general & politician Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better if we changed the locks. ~Doug Larson (English middle-distance runner who won gold medals at the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris, 1902-1981) We hang petty thieves and appoint the bigger thieves to public office. ~Aesop, Greek slave & fable author Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber. ~Plato, ancient Greek Philosopher Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river. ~Nikita Khrushchev, Russian Soviet politician When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become PM; I'm beginning to believe it. ~Quoted in 'Clarence Darrow for the Defense' by Irving Stone. Politicians are people who, when they see a light at the end of the tunnel, they go out and buy some more tunnel. ~John Quinton, American actor/writer What happens if a politician drowns in a river? That is pollution. What happens if all of them drown? That is a solution ...!!! ~ Anonymous. [/QUOTE]
