All politics is local.

Vote early and vote often.

That must be a Republican one......

Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule — and both commonly succeed, and are right. ~H.L. Mencken

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

A better title would be truisms.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." - Edmund Burke

"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." - George Santayana

Stupid party versus evil party.

You can fool all of the people some of the time. And you can fool some of the people all of the time. But you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

... unless you're a Clinton.

Do you guys even understand the amount of Schaudenfreude I'm going to have to bottle when Hillary wins. I mean you guys can't even let a simple meet in the middle thread go by. Owl you have a no no too. Let's not derail this thread. I was thinking about the one that a liberal is just a conservative before he was mugged. That's as low as it should go. Keep Hillary out of it. No evil party crap. Let's not ruin this guys. This thread could generate some good discussion.

Thought you'd like that one. (And you said I wasn't a political junkie!)

The government isn't the solution to your problems, the government is the problem.

Just read your request, Mach. Here's one that works both ways:

"Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber." --Plato

In Washington, if you want a friend, get a dog.

Political talk shows (and sites like this) are to those that watch them as lamp posts are to drunks. They are there for support, not illumination.

I like this one. It's just as effective to discredit the other party as it is to pump yourself up.

The sole purpose of any political party is to gain power and then keep it.

Being able to elect ones master...makes them no less a slave.
