What more do I need to say? Conservative books sell. I can't help it if liberal books don't sell. ~ Newt Gingrich
Partisan Politics quotes by Newt Gingrich
At its worst, Washington is a place where name-calling partisan politics too often trumps policy. ~ Bernie Sanders
Partisan Politics quotes by Bernie Sanders
First, I think more Americans need to declare their independence from partisan politics on both sides. The more that Americans declare their independence, the more the parties will have to compete for their votes using reason rather than the hateful appeals. ~ John Avlon
Partisan Politics quotes by John Avlon
I commissioned two political experts to advise me about what I could do to oppose the re-election of President Bush. ~ George Soros
Partisan Politics quotes by George Soros
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi invited me to breakfast on the eighteenth. Five days before, she had issued a news release saying, "The president's strategy in Iraq has failed," and "The choice is between a Democratic plan for responsible redeployment and the president's plan for an endless war in Iraq." With those comments as backdrop, at the breakfast I urged her to pass the defense appropriations bill before October and to pass the War Supplemental in total, not to mete it out a few weeks or months at a time. I reminded her that the president had approved Petraeus's recommendation for a change of mission in December and told her that Petraeus and Crocker had recommended a sustainable path forward that deserved broad bipartisan support. She politely made clear she wasn't interested. I wasn't surprised. After all, one wouldn't want facts and reality - not to mention the national interest - to intrude upon partisan politics, would one? ~ Robert M. Gates
Partisan Politics quotes by Robert M. Gates
In Washington, when you're a leader, you have to put aside partisan politics to do what's right for the people. ~ George Pataki
Partisan Politics quotes by George Pataki
The fundamental question pertaining to voting ethics which Christians must ask at this presidential election is this: "What are the binding principles established by God in the Bible for selecting a civil magistrate?" All other questions are secondary or irrelevant. Once this standard is determined it is our duty to wisely apply the principles and precepts to our American context and to obey. All attempts by Christians to obfuscate our duty to repair to "the standard" by sprinkling the debate with the theology of pragmatics and partisan politics is a loss to the Church because it means that we are more concerned with manipulating a political process then simply obeying the sovereign God ~ Douglas W. Phillips
Partisan Politics quotes by Douglas W. Phillips
Let me ... warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party. ~ George Washington
Partisan Politics quotes by George Washington
Taking the Bible seriously should mean taking politics seriously. The major voices in the Bible from beginning to end are passionate advocates of a different kind of world here on earth and here and now. Many American Christians are wary of doing this, for more than one reason. Some are so appalled by the politics of the Christian Right that they have rejected the notion that Christianity has anything to do with politics. Moreover, the word "politics" has negative associations in our time. Many think of narrowly partisan politics, as if politics is merely about party affiliation. Many also dismiss politics as petty bickering, as ego-driven struggles for power, even as basically corrupt. But there is a broader meaning of the word that is essential. This broader meaning is expressed by the linguistic root of the English word. It comes from the Greek word polis, which means "city." Politics is about the shape and shaping of "the city" and by extension of large-scale human communities: kingdoms, nations, empires, the world. In this sense, politics matters greatly: it is about the structures of a society. Who rules? In whose benefit? What is the economic system like? - fair, or skewed toward the wealthy and powerful? What are the laws and conventions of the society like? Hierarchical? Patriarchal? Racist? Xenophobic? Homophobic? For Christians, especially in a democratic society in which they are a majority, these questions matter. To abandon politics means leaving the structuring ~ Marcus J. Borg
Partisan Politics quotes by Marcus J. Borg
Speeches in our culture are the vacuum that fills a vacuum. ~ John Kenneth Galbraith
Partisan Politics quotes by John Kenneth Galbraith
As it stands today we have too many lawyers in government - many of whom are very smart and decent people - but they are not immune from acting like lawyers. Consequently, we have far too much regulatory legislation. Also, what do many lawyers learn in law school? They learn to win by hook or by crook; it doesn't matter how you fight as long as you win. Imagine a roomful of Democratic and Republican lawyers, each with one overriding goal to win, and this certainly helps one understand the distasteful partisan politics that characterizes Congress today. ~ Ben Carson
Partisan Politics quotes by Ben Carson
Motivated more by partisan politics than by national security, today's Democratic leaders see America as an occupier, not a liberator. And nothing makes this Marine madder than someone calling American troops occupiers rather than liberators. ~ Zell Miller
Partisan Politics quotes by Zell Miller
One of the reasons MSNBC is plummeting is that I, not long ago, refused to play any content from them. I figured, why? I mean, it's genuine depraved partisan politics insanity, genuine extremist radical ignoramuses on that network. ~ Rush Limbaugh
Partisan Politics quotes by Rush Limbaugh
Partisan politics has no place in the classroom. ~ Juan Cole
Partisan Politics quotes by Juan Cole
I like Obama, but I understand that his hands are tied, the way Congress is reacting. It's just partisan politics everywhere, and don't know how we going to get things done in the future without compromising a little bit. ~ Ice Cube
Partisan Politics quotes by Ice Cube
Truth becomes a relative and disputable term in the alternate reality of partisan politics ~ Michael Rejebian
Partisan Politics quotes by Michael Rejebian
The next step has to be the necessary step. It's always to put the immigrant community and the civil rights movement ahead of partisan politics. ~ Luis Gutierrez
Partisan Politics quotes by Luis Gutierrez
But the point is: On the right, they're pretending that our "truthfulness" is what's really important to them. Which, ironically, is not true. What matters to them is discrediting anything that they believe harms their side. That is their prime directive. And unlike Kirk, they fuckin' stick with it. They don't just drop the protocol any time they feel like humping a green girl in a unitard. [video clip of Captain Kirk, pursuing a green girl in a unitard]

And this, this, is their genius. Conservatives are not looking to make education more rigorous and informative, or science more empirical or verifiable, or voting more representative, or the government more efficient or effective. They just want all those things to reinforce their partisan, ideological, conservative viewpoint.
~ Jon Stewart ~ Chris Smith
Partisan Politics quotes by Chris Smith
I try not to spend too much time on partisan politics. Life's too short for that. I don't really believe that there have been many human problems solved by politics. ~ Dean Koontz
Partisan Politics quotes by Dean Koontz
Ultimately, the concept of a religious left is problematic at its core because the Bible (or for that matter the Koran, Torah, etc.) cannot be used to unequivocally defend and advance human rights. Using Fox News, Christian radio, and the Internet as bully pulpits, Christian fundamentalists have capitalized on this simple unimpeachable fact and built a political empire. They have hidden behind scripture to justify and advance a fascist agenda that has set the struggle for democracy in the U.S. back decades. ~ Sikivu Hutchinson In Moral Combat Black Atheists Gender Politics And The Values Wars
Partisan Politics quotes by Sikivu Hutchinson In Moral Combat Black Atheists Gender Politics And The Values Wars
Policy decisions on climate change are being deliberated every day by those without full knowledge of the science, and often with intentional misinformation spawned by special interests. ~ James Hansen
Partisan Politics quotes by James Hansen
Politics is not like an ocean voyage or a military campaign ... something which leaves off as soon as reached. It is not a public chore to be gotten over with. It is a way of life. ~ Plutarch
Partisan Politics quotes by Plutarch
Steal from those beneath you; attack those above you. ~ Michael Lewis
Partisan Politics quotes by Michael Lewis
L.A. is such a real, active place. My mother was very into the core of the city. She worked in politics, and you have to know your territory. It's an active matrix; we're all parts of it, but people don't often stop to wonder what's going on. ~ Janet Fitch
Partisan Politics quotes by Janet Fitch
Being the leader means you hold the highest rank, either by earning it, good fortune or navigating internal politics. Leading, however, means that others willingly follow you - not because they have to, not because they are paid to, but because they want to. ~ Simon Sinek
Partisan Politics quotes by Simon Sinek
I don't do 'black music,' I don't do 'white music' ... I make fight music, for high school kids. ~ Eminem
Partisan Politics quotes by Eminem
You're always as good as your last movie and that's the same with politics. If you are successful with a certain policy, then you're hot; if you're successful with the economy, or bringing down the unemployment rate, then you're hot. But if you're not successful, then things go south very quickly. ~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
Partisan Politics quotes by Arnold Schwarzenegger
It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea. ~ Robert Anton Wilson
Partisan Politics quotes by Robert Anton Wilson
For the powerful, crimes are those that others commit. ~ Noam Chomsky
Partisan Politics quotes by Noam Chomsky
I have to study politics and war so that my sons can study mathematics, commerce and agriculture, so their sons can study poetry, painting and music. ~ John Quincy Adams
Partisan Politics quotes by John Quincy Adams
Unlike our politicians and our religions, the current coronavirus pandemic has managed to make us care about the health of even those we hate, especially those we are likely to come across. ~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Partisan Politics quotes by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
The fact is, when men carry the same ideals in their hearts, nothing can isolate them - neither prison walls nor the sod of cemeteries. For single memory, a single spirit, a single idea, a single conscience, a single dignity will sustain them all. ~ Fidel Castro
Partisan Politics quotes by Fidel Castro
I have donated money to campaigns. And I have been known to take to the street in protest. But I am more committed to my immediate politics than general politics. ~ Natalie Massenet
Partisan Politics quotes by Natalie Massenet
The heaviest penalty for declining to rule is to be ruled by someone inferior to yourself. ~ Plato
Partisan Politics quotes by Plato
More men have been elected between Sundown and Sunup than ever were elected between Sunup and Sundown. ~ Will Rogers
Partisan Politics quotes by Will Rogers
Tears streamed down her wrinkled face. This world that she had longed to change for the better was as bad as the one into which she had been born. "An exercise in futility," she murmured. ~ Gary Inbinder
Partisan Politics quotes by Gary Inbinder
BROADBENT [stiffly]. Devil is rather a strong expression in that
connexion, Mr Keegan.

KEEGAN. Not from a man who knows that this world is hell. But
since the word offends you, let me soften it, and compare you
simply to an ass. [Larry whitens with anger].

BROADBENT [reddening]. An ass!

KEEGAN [gently]. You may take it without offence from a madman
who calls the ass his brother--and a very honest, useful and
faithful brother too. The ass, sir, is the most efficient of
beasts, matter-of-fact, hardy, friendly when you treat him as a
fellow-creature, stubborn when you abuse him, ridiculous only in
love, which sets him braying, and in politics, which move him to
roll about in the public road and raise a dust about nothing. Can
you deny these qualities and habits in yourself, sir?

BROADBENT [goodhumoredly]. Well, yes, I'm afraid I do, you know.

KEEGAN. Then perhaps you will confess to the ass's one fault.

BROADBENT. Perhaps so: what is it?

KEEGAN. That he wastes all his virtues--his efficiency, as you
call it--in doing the will of his greedy masters instead of doing
the will of Heaven that is in himself. He is efficient in the
service of Mammon, mighty in mischief, skilful in ruin, heroic in
destruction. But he comes to browse here without knowing that the
soil his hoof touches is holy ground. Ireland, sir, for good or
evil, i ~ George Bernard Shaw
Partisan Politics quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Politics is a very male-dominated, male-driven profession. I was not just a woman but a young woman, and I suppose you end up trying to behave in a way that you think is expected of you. ~ Nicola Sturgeon
Partisan Politics quotes by Nicola Sturgeon
In the early nineteenth century, with Enlightenment optimism soured by years of war and revolution, critics were skeptical of America's naive faith that it had reinvented politics. ~ Simon Schama
Partisan Politics quotes by Simon Schama
By making the government a combination of elected officials and citizen-backed initiatives and referenda, there can truly be a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. ~ Victoria Stoklasa
Partisan Politics quotes by Victoria Stoklasa
Neither. I did not bring my crown, and the last thing I would want to do is get into politics. ~ Gloria Estefan
Partisan Politics quotes by Gloria Estefan
That's what peace is, right? Postponing the conflict until the thing you were fighting over doesn't matter. ~ James S.A. Corey
Partisan Politics quotes by James S.A. Corey
I am always suspicious of the formulation that "politics" has prevented a great idea from being enacted by government. Politics IS government, in a democratic society. It's a challenge for school reformers, like reformers in any realm, to build a popular constituency for their work. If the people it's supposed to benefit vote against it, that tells me that the person pushing reform lacks political skill. And political skill is a good thing. ~ Nicholas Lemann
Partisan Politics quotes by Nicholas Lemann
The intersection of religion and world politics has often been a bloody crossroads. ~ Elliott Abrams
Partisan Politics quotes by Elliott Abrams
Appearances are significant, and never more than in politics. You can always sway the crowd, provided you have a good story. ~ Cassandra Clare
Partisan Politics quotes by Cassandra Clare
It is important to bear in mind that political campaigns are designed by the same people who sell toothpaste and cars. ~ Noam Chomsky
Partisan Politics quotes by Noam Chomsky
A minority group has 'arrived' only when it has the right to produce some fools and scoundrels without the entire group paying for it. ~ Carl T. Rowan
Partisan Politics quotes by Carl T. Rowan
A dose of humility goes a long way in life and in politics. ~ Ron Fournier
Partisan Politics quotes by Ron Fournier
We have an economic policy that is just about 10,000 years out of date. ~ Louis O. Kelso
Partisan Politics quotes by Louis O. Kelso
Secret Societies have existed among all peoples, savage and civilized, since the beginning of recorded history ... It is beyond question that the secret societies of all ages have exercised a considerable degree of political influence. ~ Manly Hall
Partisan Politics quotes by Manly Hall
Frankly, I don't mind not being President. I just mind that someone else is. ~ Edward Kennedy
Partisan Politics quotes by Edward Kennedy
It is only when he speaks German, as now, that he allows himself to lament the enslavement of the world's downtrodden classes. We cannot live in a bubble, Mr. Mundy. Comfortable ignorance is not a solution. In German student societies that I was not permitted to join, they made a toast: 'Better to be a salamander, and live in the fire. ~ John Le Carre
