I'm not ready to give you a clear answer on whether electoral politics holds any particular hope for progressives. It would mean that nothing I did ever mattered. ~ Tom Hayden
Electoral Politics quotes by Tom Hayden
It always seemed to me ironic that the McCain campaign kept referring sneeringly to Obama's meager resume - 'a mere community organizer!' - before he entered electoral politics. It was Obama's experience as a community organizer that proved such a killer app when he applied that skill to the Internet. ~ Tina Brown
Electoral Politics quotes by Tina Brown
Electoral politics was always an objective of the Black Panther party, so Barack Obama is a part of what we dreamed and struggled and died for. ~ Bobby Seale
Electoral Politics quotes by Bobby Seale
Robert T. Lincoln, the president's eldest son, who won fame as the "Prince of Rails" during the secession winter, was the only one of his children to live to maturity. He became U.S. secretary of war, minister to Great Britain, and president of the Pullman Company following brief service on General Grant's staff at the end of the Civil War. Though frequently mentioned as a Republican candidate for president, Robert shunned electoral politics. He later brought his mother to trial in a successful effort to have her committed for insanity. Robert died an extremely wealthy man at age eighty-four in 1926. ~ Harold Holzer
Electoral Politics quotes by Harold Holzer
The right to vote gives every eligible American a voice in our electoral politics. There's too much at stake to stay silent as this right is eroded. ~ Martin O'Malley
Electoral Politics quotes by Martin O'Malley
Simply because one is Black or Latino or lesbian or gay or whatever does not guarantee the person's fidelity to a body of politics that empowers the particular constituency that they supposedly represent. The number of black elected officials has risen from 100 in 1964 to more than 9000 today. The number of African Americans who were in congress 30 years ago was about five; today it is over 40, an 800 percent increase. But have Blacks experienced an 800 percent increase in real power? It hasn't happened. So, I think the emphasis of this liberal notion of social change by working solely within the established electoral system is just fatally flawed. ~ Manning Marable
Electoral Politics quotes by Manning Marable
We trust people's lives to randomly selected juries as the only fair method; should we use any less fair method for a nation or a planet? ~ Peter J. Carroll
Electoral Politics quotes by Peter J. Carroll
The most startling aspect of the nutrition situation in India is that it is not much of an issue in public debates and electoral politics. ~ Jean Dreze
Electoral Politics quotes by Jean Dreze
The only difference between Hitler and Bush is that Hitler was elected. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Electoral Politics quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
appeal to non-business interests) and let them be effective. Although there is marked and frequently observed dissatisfaction with the Republicans and Democrats, electoral politics is one area where notions of competition and free choice have little meaning. ~ Noam Chomsky
Electoral Politics quotes by Noam Chomsky
The Latin root of the word 'politics' means 'of the people.' Politics is about something bigger than electoral politics; in that sense, I feel like I'm already involved. ~ Marianne Williamson
Electoral Politics quotes by Marianne Williamson
The state of law is equal for all people. It cannot depend on electoral politics. ~ Baltasar Garzon
Electoral Politics quotes by Baltasar Garzon
In the elaborate con that is American electoral politics, the Republican voter has long been the easiest mark in the game, the biggest dope in the room. Everyone inside the Beltway knows this. The Republican voters themselves are the only ones who never saw it. Elections ~ Matt Taibbi
Electoral Politics quotes by Matt Taibbi
For too long, our controversies seem to boil down to conservatives and liberals (or, if you prefer, traditionalists and progressives) talking past each other for the benefit of stirring up their loyalists, as partisans do in the primary campaigns of electoral politics. The rest of us are expected to line up with our team just as soon as they show their colors. ~ Ken Wilson
Electoral Politics quotes by Ken Wilson
In the United States [ ... ] the two main business-dominated parties, with the support of the corporate community, have refused to reform laws that make it virtually impossible to create new political parties (that might appeal to non-business interests) and let them be effective. Although there is marked and frequently observed dissatisfaction with the Republicans and Democrats, electoral politics is one area where notions of competitions and free choice have little meaning. In some respects the caliber of debate and choice in neoliberal elections tends to be closer to that of the one-party communist state than that of a genuine democracy. ~ Robert W. McChesney
Electoral Politics quotes by Robert W. McChesney
Food has a unique political power, for several reasons: food links the world's richest consumers with its poorest farmers; food choices have always been a potent means of social signaling; modern shoppers must make dozens of food choices every week, providing far more opportunities for political expression than electoral politics; and food is a product you consume, so eating something implies a deeply personal endorsement of it. But ~ Tom Standage
Electoral Politics quotes by Tom Standage
We're building an independent political program that can run electoral politics and then turn on a dime to hold our leaders to task, in case they suddenly develop that old case of amnesia! We'll be there to remind them what they promised and who they promised to work for! ~ Richard Trumka
Electoral Politics quotes by Richard Trumka
If you work through the existing structures you are going to be corrupted. By working through political system that poisons the atmosphere, even the progressive organizations, you can see it even nowadays in the US, where people on the "Left" are all caught in the electoral campaign and get into fierce arguments about should we support this third party candidate or that third party candidate. This is a sort of little piece of evidence that suggests that when you get into working through electoral politics you begin to corrupt your ideals. ~ Howard Zinn
Electoral Politics quotes by Howard Zinn
Whole fields have disappeared from view: the clergy, the military, electoral politics, teaching, even academia itself, for the most part, including basic science. ~ William Deresiewicz
Electoral Politics quotes by William Deresiewicz
Politicians sre the same all over.They promise to build bridges, even where there are no rivers. ~ Nikita Khrushev
Electoral Politics quotes by Nikita Khrushev
If you abandon the political arena, somebody is going to be there. Corporations aren't going to go home and join the PTA. They are going to run things. ~ Noam Chomsky
Electoral Politics quotes by Noam Chomsky
Remaking the world wasn't always a stage show and a cheering crowd. Politics was just warfare by other means. The losers didn't get to hold rallies. ~ Alex London
Electoral Politics quotes by Alex London
Politics in Philadelphia is a contact sport. ~ Michael Nutter
Electoral Politics quotes by Michael Nutter
No man who ever held the office of president would congratulate a friend on obtaining it. ~ John Adams
Electoral Politics quotes by John Adams
May God save the country, for it is evident that the people will not. ~ Millard Fillmore
Electoral Politics quotes by Millard Fillmore
The poor ignorant fellah [Arabic for peasant] does not worry about politics, but when he is told repeatedly by people in whom he has confidence that his livelihood is in danger of being taken away from him by us, he becomes our mortal enemy ... The Arab is primitive and believes what he is told. ~ Chaim Weizmann
Electoral Politics quotes by Chaim Weizmann
Politics is repetition. It is not change. Change is something beyond what we call politics. Change is the essence politics is supposed to be the means to bring into being. ~ Kate Millett
Electoral Politics quotes by Kate Millett
The politics of our society are a conversation in which past, present and future each has a voice; and though one or other of them may on occasion properly prevail none permanently dominates, and on this account we are free. ~ Michael Joseph Oakeshott
Electoral Politics quotes by Michael Joseph Oakeshott
The "small goodness" from one person to his fellowman is lost and deformed as soon as it seeks organization and universality and system, as soon as it opts for doctrine, a treatise of politics and theology, a party, a state, and even a church. Yet it remains the sole refuge of the good in being. Unbeaten, it undergoes the violence of evil, which, as small goodness, it can neither vanquish nor drive out. A little kindness going only from man to man, not crossing distances to get to the places where events and forces unfold! A remarkable utopia of the good or the secret of its beyond. ~ Emmanuel Levinas
Electoral Politics quotes by Emmanuel Levinas
When historians of early America turned from the pursuit of past politics, they devised a category known in the academy as 'social and intellectual history.' In it, they stuffed nearly everything except politics on the assumption, which the anthropologists assured them was correct, that it would all fit together. Somehow it did not. ~ Edmund Morgan
Electoral Politics quotes by Edmund Morgan
The most improper job of any man, even saints (who at any rate were at least unwilling to take it on), is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Electoral Politics quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
I was previously involved in local and state politics, but not national, because grassroots democracy starts at the bottom. This was the breaking point for me, though - and it made the case that in order to fight locally, we have to fight nationally; we can't afford to neglect any area of life in this democracy. ~ Jill Stein
Electoral Politics quotes by Jill Stein
If the court is a political institution making important political decisions, then the public should debate the politics of Supreme Court decisions. ~ Marvin Ammori
Electoral Politics quotes by Marvin Ammori
What makes me laugh about politics, sometimes, is it seems like once we get to a point where our problems are seemingly unsolvable, it's because we're looking through a wrong point of view. If we turn the thing on its head, then maybe we might see it differently. ~ Dave Davies
Electoral Politics quotes by Dave Davies
I wish I was not who I am. I wish I had met you in different circumstances, in a place far away from here, where there was no magic, politics and deception. Somewhere where things could be different between us. I wish I was someone else. But I am what and who I am, and all the wishes in the world will not change that. ~ Danielle L. Jensen
Electoral Politics quotes by Danielle L. Jensen
How English you are, Basil! If one puts
forward an idea to a real Englishman, - always a rash
thing to do, - he never dreams of considering whether the
idea is right or wrong. The only thing he considers of any
importance is whether one believes it one's self. Now, the
value of an idea has nothing whatsoever to do with the
sincerity of the man who expresses it. Indeed, the
probabilities are that the more insincere the man is, the more purely intellectual will the idea be, as in that case it
will not be colored by either his wants, his desires, or his
prejudices. However, I don't propose to discuss politics,
sociology, or metaphysics with you. I like persons better
than principles. Tell me more about Dorian Gray. How
often do you see him? ~ Oscar Wilde
Electoral Politics quotes by Oscar Wilde
To me, politics is an extension of what I do in medicine. ~ Tabare Vazquez
Electoral Politics quotes by Tabare Vazquez
In U.S. politics, 'compassion' means giving money and privileges to well organized interest groups at everyone else's expense. ~ Paul Craig Roberts
Electoral Politics quotes by Paul Craig Roberts
I have always hated celebrities lecturing people on politics. So forgive me. But I am passionate about this country. I am equally passionate about the potential of the people who live here. ~ Simon Cowell
Electoral Politics quotes by Simon Cowell
I wonder sometimes what would happen if victory was imagined not just as the elimination of evil but the establishment of good... ~ Rebecca Solnit
Electoral Politics quotes by Rebecca Solnit
Even if we don't know it or aren't aware of it, politics and philosophy are really what make our up lives. ~ Roland Joffe
Electoral Politics quotes by Roland Joffe
When I want to be popular, I pull on a guitar and sing a song. Pras did not affect me because, in the realm of politics, he has never stood up for anything. ~ Wyclef Jean
Electoral Politics quotes by Wyclef Jean
I'm not an expert on the Middle East or terrorism or the use of military force or politics. It's all I can do to know a little bit about how to help people raise their kids and what to do when they get sick. When a war happens, I just hope it gets over with quickly so that how we take care of children becomes more important again. ~ Mark Vonnegut
Electoral Politics quotes by Mark Vonnegut
Contrary to what everyone thinks, in my family, we didn't talk about politics at home. ~ Marion Marechal-Le Pen
Electoral Politics quotes by Marion Marechal-Le Pen
There ought to be one day - just one - when there is open season on senators. ~ Will Rogers
Electoral Politics quotes by Will Rogers
I think politics come out of psychology. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Electoral Politics quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Humans live in political society with all traits of their being, from the physical to the spiritual and religious traits. We have only presented examples from the Mediterranean and Western European culture areas, but the thesis is universal and also applies to the political forms in the East. The political community is always integrated in the overall context of man's experience of the world and God, irrespective of whether the political sphere occupies a subordinate level in the divine order of the hierarchy of being or whether it is deified itself. The language of politics is always interspersed with the ecstasies of religiosity and, thus, becomes a symbol in the concise sense by letting experiences concerned with the contents of the world be permeated with transcendental-divine experiences. ~ Eric Voegelin
Electoral Politics quotes by Eric Voegelin
Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government
take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian. ~ Henry Ford
Electoral Politics quotes by Henry Ford
If you have a deep-seated need to be loved and admired every day, you shouldn't be in politics. You should go work at a pet store. ~ Michael Nutter
Electoral Politics quotes by Michael Nutter
It was the new politics of ambiguity - speaking for the lower and middle classes to get their support in times of rapid growth and potential turmoil. The two-party system came into its own in this time. To give people a choice between two different parties and allow them, in a period of rebellion, to choose the slightly more democratic one was an ingenious mode of control. ~ Howard Zinn
Electoral Politics quotes by Howard Zinn
The future doesn't have to mimic the worst parts of the present. There are new ways of sharing information, and as long as they don't give up on the importance of politics, the future is certainly open. ~ Henry Giroux
Electoral Politics quotes by Henry Giroux
Politics is not my life. I have a career in radio and another career in film. ~ Jesse Ventura
Electoral Politics quotes by Jesse Ventura
The displacement of class politics by identity politics has been very confusing to older Marxists, who for many years clung to the old industrial working class as their preferred category of the underprivileged. They tried to explain this shift in terms of what Ernest Gellner labeled the "Wrong Address Theory": "Just as extreme Shi'ite Muslims hold that Archangel Gabriel made a mistake, delivering the Message to Mohamed when it was intended for Ali, so Marxists basically like to think that the spirit of history or human consciousness made a terrible boob. The awakening message was intended for classes, but by some terrible postal error was delivered to nations. ~ Francis Fukuyama
Electoral Politics quotes by Francis Fukuyama
Politics are a labyrinth without a clue. ~ John Adams
Electoral Politics quotes by John Adams
History, rather than following a predictable path from the past to the present, is like a meander: a twisting and turning stream shaped over time by a combination of obvious and imperceptible forces. ~ W. Bruce Fye
Electoral Politics quotes by W. Bruce Fye
Mrs. Winterson didn't want her body resurrected because she had never, ever loved it, not even for a single minute of a single day But although she believed in End Time, she felt that the bodily resurrection was unscientific. When I asked her about this she told me she had seen Pathé newsreels of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and she knew all about Robert Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project. She had lived through the war. Her brother had been in the air force, my dad had been in the army -- it was their life, not their history. She said that after the atomic bomb you couldn't believe in mass any more, it was all about energy. 'This life is all mass. When we go, we'll be all energy, that's all there is to it.'

I have thought about this a lot over the years. She had understood something infinitely complex and absolutely simple. For her, in the Book of Revelation, the 'things of the world' that would pass away, 'heaven and earth rolled up like a scroll,' were demonstrations of the inevitable movement from mass to energy. Her uncle, her beloved mother's beloved brother, had been a scientist. She was an intelligent woman, and somewhere in the middle of the insane theology and the brutal politics, the flamboyant depression and the refusal of books, of knowledge, of life, she had watched the atomic bomb go off and realised that the true nature of the world is energy not mass.

But she never understood that energy could have been her own true nature while she was ali ~ Jeanette Winterson
Electoral Politics quotes by Jeanette Winterson
In politics, religion and other areas of culture, people disagree on the worth of competing ideas. There is no equivalent to the scientific method that can determine in a robust way which ideas match the real world, and which ones can be ruled out. So conflicting ideologies persist indefinitely. ~ Nathan Myhrvold
Electoral Politics quotes by Nathan Myhrvold
I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Electoral Politics quotes by Thomas Jefferson
The president's dead, no one can find his head, its been missing for two weeks. But no one seemed to notice it. ~ Lou Reed
Electoral Politics quotes by Lou Reed
I can't afford to be indifferent to politics, but I don't have personal ambitions. ~ Vagit Alekperov
Electoral Politics quotes by Vagit Alekperov
I never like to talk about my own politics, but whether you're left, right or center, the 2008 race was definitely good drama. ~ Brian K. Vaughan
