Some profound political thoughts
If God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates.
~Jay Leno~
The problem with political jokes is they get elected.
~Henry Cate, VII~
We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office
~Aesop~
Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.
~Nikita Khrushchev~
When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it.
~Clarence Darrow~
Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel.
~John Quinton~
Why pay money to have your family tree traced; go into politics and your opponents will do it for you.
~Author unknown~
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.
~Ronald Reagan~
Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other.
~Oscar Ameringer~
I offer my opponents a bargain: if they will stop telling lies about us, I will stop telling the truth about them.
~Adlai Stevenson, 1952~
A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country.
~ Tex Guinan~
Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks.
~Doug Larson~
Sadly, this last one.
We'd all like to vote for the best man, but he's never a candidateTo grow old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

That's why we invented the Donkey Vote. However, we never seem to elect a Donkey, but instead we get Asses.

Mind you I have a theory instead of kicking the old lot out.. and electing new politicians that we have to train,
re-elect the old ones, but smack them. it's cheaper!
I had a visit from a local hopeful, and he asked me what did I think the new government should do..? I said "nothing, stop trying to improve things. it never works"
Take the current messiah for instance.
But what do i know.. I am on this forum, and therefore a grumpy!Working on inserting a bit more eccentricity into the bearings of life
