Politicians Quotes

I don’t subscribe to the theory that all politicians are crap. I think the ‘cool people’ often take that position Picture Quote #1

We have come to expect campaigns to be mean and stupid and politicians to be unresponsive, self-seeking and for sale to the highest bidder. We make jokes about our vice president, and all we ask of a president is that he be likeable. We seem to have given up on the Pentagon’s corrupt use of our tax dollars Picture Quote #1

People in Indiana like to see their politicians at the county fair or the Rotary Club Picture Quote #1

Many female politicians get intimidated by the aggressive behaviour of men. I don’t. Not because I am a courageous person or anything, but because I see international standards, and I see that they are worth fighting for Picture Quote #1

Politicians such as Michelle Bachmann, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich along with talking heads such as Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck and Anne Coulter are not the problem, they are symptomatic of a much more disturbing assault on critical thought, if not rational thinking itself Picture Quote #1

You know there’s no crooked politicians. There’s never a lie because there is never any truth Picture Quote #1

The average politician was crooked. That was my ambition, to be a crooked politician. I’d see them in these restaurants, and they’d all hold these conferences. I’d see politicians who were supposed to be on opposite sides of issues all together at one table Picture Quote #1

The curious thing is Americans don’t mind individual mandates when they come in the form of payroll taxes to buy mandatory public insurance. In fact, that’s the system we call Social Security and Medicare, and both are so popular politicians dare not touch them Picture Quote #1

Politicians... talk in generalities and lies, and I think they’ve caused all our grief. They’re so awful, they’re really funny. I hate thinking this because my dad loved politics Picture Quote #1

I think [Dalai Lama]is far and away the most solid, deep-thinking, far-sighted politician I’ve met, and I’ve been a journalist for 26 years for Time magazine, so I’ve met a lot of politicians Picture Quote #1

At times, the most dangerous politicians have been those impelled by dreams and ideals, rather than basic realities Picture Quote #1

A lot of folks feel like my brother and me or other politicians chart out their careers from Day 1 until the end. I’ve never been like that Picture Quote #1

Foreign politicians don’t have resources - or limited resources. It’s useless dealing with them Picture Quote #1

I wake up most days with a vague feeling of doom - ‘Dear God. Here I am again.’ Then, when I read about politicians in the newspaper, the vengefulness starts. By mid-morning, the anxiety is kicking in Picture Quote #1

Editorial cartoons should be smart and substantive, provocative and informative. They should stir passions and deep emotions. Editorial cartoons should be the catalyst for thought, and frankly speaking, if you can make politicians think, that is an accomplishment itself Picture Quote #1

My deepest feeling about politicians is that they are dangerous lunatics to be avoided when possible and carefully humored; people, above all, to whom one must never tell the truth Picture Quote #1

Desert Storm was seen by the military establishment and by some politicians as avenging Vietnam, but it left behind dangerous illusions. The victory was so decisive, and information about it so carefully managed, that the American public was never clearly informed that it was purchased at the price of approximately 100,000 Iraqi lives Picture Quote #1

If we wander around as politicians jumping at every shadow and desperately afraid of having our words taken out of context or attacks layered on in an unfair way, I think we’re actually doing a disrespect to Canadians, to people’s intelligence Picture Quote #1

You don’t necessarily need atomic bombs to destroy a nation. Politicians who value their pockets than the life of citizens always do that every day Picture Quote #1

I think that all politicians who aspire to the presidency are a little nuts, but for different reasons. What kind of person aspires to be the most powerful person in the world? The answer is someone with an internal drive that is so dynamic and so determined Picture Quote #1

I’m always amazed how many politicians have a very unlikely story, and when I talk to groups of students, I remind them that not everybody who gets into politics is a lawyer or went to school to study it. We all come to it for different reasons Picture Quote #1

When certain causes become prairie fires, politicians make difficult choices, and often at the expense of someone like Jeremiah Wright and Walter Jenkins. That’s the cruel nature of American politics, where the end becomes the consummate objective, and sometimes the means to get there come at a great price Picture Quote #1

As politicians we have to make very difficult decisions and one...is when freedom of speech actually insults public safety Picture Quote #1

While it may be difficult to understand why cities and even entire states would doom themselves to insolvency by undertaking these obligations, the answer is simple: Democratic politicians, who have near-total political control of California and of America’s biggest cities, support this massive transfer of wealth to public employees Picture Quote #1

(Walls) show that politicians have reached the end of their ideas about what to do about a difficult situation with a neighbor. ... They can’t think what else to do Picture Quote #1

I’ve always tried to avoid politics because most politicians that I know are quite dirty in terms of human dignity, ethics and morals Picture Quote #1

What’s distinctively shocking about Machiavelli is that he didn’t care. He believed not only that politicians must do evil in the name of the public good, but also that they shouldn’t worry about it. He was unconcerned, in other words, with what modern thinkers call ‘the problem of dirty hands.’ Picture Quote #1

Don’t fall in love with politicians, they’re all a disappointment. They can’t help it, they just are Picture Quote #1

Politicians need human misery. ... Government’s a disease masquerading as its own cure Picture Quote #1

Political journalists, socially inept or no, are not nerds. Most of them can’t do math, a fact that campaigns and politicians regularly exploit Picture Quote #1
