Dr. Ben Carson has the most moving personal narrative in modern presidential politics. His mother, one of 24 children, had only a third-grade education. She was married at age 13, bore Ben and his brother, and then raised the boys as an impoverished single mother in Detroit. As a young boy, Carson was a terrible student. ~ Nicholas Kristof
Presidential Politics quotes by Nicholas Kristof
Because liberalism typically doesn't sell in American presidential politics, liberal candidates tend to run as culturally conservative centrists. ~ Rich Lowry
Presidential Politics quotes by Rich Lowry
Bush had expertise in one thing: How to run a Presidential campaign. He understands campaigns and Presidential politics. He has no interest or disposition or I think probably - he's not stupid, but he's not bright, he's not a rocket scientist - he isn't interested in policy. ~ John Dean
Presidential Politics quotes by John Dean
It's not just tougher out there. It's become a situation where the contest is how much you can destroy the system, rather than how much you can make it work. It makes no difference if you have a 'D' or an 'R' after your name. There's no sense that this is about democracy, and after the election you have to work together, and knit the country together. The people in the game now just think to the first Tuesday in November, and not a day beyond it. ~ Peter Hart
Presidential Politics quotes by Peter Hart
This has always been the way of presidential politics. The president rises above the fray while his surrogates go on the attack. They throw the spears and fling the mud; he sits upon the throne. ~ John Podhoretz
Presidential Politics quotes by John Podhoretz
I know this issue is very controversial. But unless and until it can be proven that an unborn child is not a human being, can we justify assuming without proof that it isn't? No one has yet offered such proof; indeed, all the evidence is to the contrary. We should rise above bitterness and reproach, and if Americans could come together in a spirit of understanding and helping, then we could find positive solutions to the tragedy of abortion. ~ Ronald Reagan
Presidential Politics quotes by Ronald Reagan
If Jefferson's leadership is to be set apart from others similarly situated later on, it should not be because he was inclined to finesse a frontal assault on the old [Federalist] governmental establishment, but because he transformed national politics so thoroughly without being forced into any make-or-break confrontation with it. Jefferson pursued the reconstruction of American government and politics relentlessly, and the regime he created in the end was profoundly different from the one he displaced. Yet, the most remarkable aspect of his transformation is how little resistance he encountered in the process from the institutions and interests previously attached to the old order. Jefferson's authority to reconstruct proved singularly disarming and all-encompassing. ~ Stephen Skowronek
Presidential Politics quotes by Stephen Skowronek
I have a job to do ... If you think right now I give a damn about presidential politics, then you don't know me. ~ Chris Christie
Presidential Politics quotes by Chris Christie
During the campaign, I supported and encouraged the Clinton campaign strategy, but in hindsight, I lost track of one of the core lessons of Obama's success--campaigns are about telling the American people a story--a story about where we are, where we are going, and why you are the right person, and your opponent is the wrong person, to take the country there. It's a story that needs to be compelling, but also easily understood, and then driven home by the candidate and the campaign with relentless discipline. ~ Dan Pfeiffer
Presidential Politics quotes by Dan Pfeiffer
The fact is, presidential politics has become a game of inches. ~ Steven Weber
Presidential Politics quotes by Steven Weber
We are all encouraged that Bush appears, really for the first time in his experience on the stage of presidential politics, relaxed. His comfort is our comfort. ~ John Dean
Presidential Politics quotes by John Dean
For more than a half-century, anti-intellectualism has had a pretty good run in presidential politics. In fact, Republicans would never have gotten where they are without it. ~ Peter Beinart
Presidential Politics quotes by Peter Beinart
Even after the Rosenthal column, nobody responsible in the Republican Party said, 'Yes, Pat Buchanan is an anti-Semite.' They didn't join in. Very few journalists joined in. What happened was, when he entered the presidential politics, then he entered a new level of criticism and attack on him. ~ Robert Novak
Presidential Politics quotes by Robert Novak
He was, as every truly great poet has ever been, a good man; but finding it impossible to realize his own aspirations, either in religion or politics, or society, he gave up his heart to the living spirit and light within him, and avenged himself on the world by enriching it with this record of his own transcendental ideal. ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Presidential Politics quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Politics isn't just about doing the right thing. It's also about winning. ~ Susan Estrich
Presidential Politics quotes by Susan Estrich
Don't be obsessed with yet another revolution to overthrow the opposition, if you think that a violently excruciating revolution will make everything right. Let me ask a question about this brave new revolution of yours, when you have finally defeated all the bad guys and it's all perfect and just and fair - when you've finally got it exactly the way you want it, what are you going to do with the people like you - the trouble-makers? How are you going to protect your glorious revolution from the next one? You may most blindly and boastfully proclaim that you will win. But remember, no one wins for long. The wheel just keeps turning. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Presidential Politics quotes by Abhijit Naskar
Society can give its young men almost any job and they'll figure how to do it. They'll suffer for it and die for it and watch their friends die for it, but in the end, it will get done. That only means that society should be careful about what it asks for ... Soldiers themselves are reluctant to evaluate the costs of war, but someone must. That evaluation, ongoing and unadulterated by politics, may be the one thing a country absolutely owes the soldiers who defend its borders. ~ Sebastian Junger
Presidential Politics quotes by Sebastian Junger
Professional politicians like to talk about the value of experience in government. Nuts! The only experience you gain in politics is how to be political. ~ Ronald Reagan
Presidential Politics quotes by Ronald Reagan
I am involved with politics today because of the inspiration I received from Ronald Reagan. ~ Michael K. Simpson
Presidential Politics quotes by Michael K. Simpson
I think the fact is that anybody who goes into politics feels like 'I can make a difference'. But it's not one person, you need so many others. ~ Drew Brees
Presidential Politics quotes by Drew Brees
It's been the same story ever since I can remember, ever since Wilson – the Republicans don't do a thing for the little man. ~ John Updike
Presidential Politics quotes by John Updike
People say you can't make movies about your politics or the environment. And, generally speaking, I completely divide those sides of my brain. ~ Edward Norton
Presidential Politics quotes by Edward Norton
Say, did you read what this writer just dug up in George Washington's diary? I was so ashamed I sat up all night reading it. ~ Will Rogers
Presidential Politics quotes by Will Rogers
Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all. ~ John F. Kennedy
Presidential Politics quotes by John F. Kennedy
We say we value the legacy we leave the next generation and then saddle that generation with mountains of debt. We say we believe in equal opportunity but then stand idle while millions of American children languish in poverty. We insist that we value family, but then structure our economy and organize our lives so as to ensure that our families get less and less of our time. ~ Barack Obama
Presidential Politics quotes by Barack Obama
It's I politics that men are always aggravating the hopeless tangle of their laws, obscuring the simplest principles and making a mockery of liberty. ~ Joseph Sobran
Presidential Politics quotes by Joseph Sobran
The American Conversation is an argument, after all, and way worse than our fear of error or anarchy or Gomorrahl decadence is our fear of theocracy or autocracy or any ideology whose project is not to argue or persuade but to adjourn the whole debate sine die. It's this logic (and perhaps this alone) that keeps protofascism or royalism or Maoism or any sort of really dire extremism from achieving mainstream legitimacy in US politics ~ David Foster Wallace
Presidential Politics quotes by David Foster Wallace
Bob Dole revealed he is one of the test subjects for Viagra. He said on Larry King, 'I wish I had bought stock in it.' Only a Republican would think the best part of Viagra is the fact that you could make money off of it. ~ Jay Leno
Presidential Politics quotes by Jay Leno
By oft repeating an untruth, men come to believe it themselves. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Presidential Politics quotes by Thomas Jefferson
In politics, as in love, opposites attract, and the misunderstandings that ensue tend to be as bitter and, as in love, as equally terminal. ~ Gore Vidal
Presidential Politics quotes by Gore Vidal
As the map of the Great Plain was being redrawn by a young Shazarian councillor, the ageing Shylonian king interrupted mid-speech to ask him his name. With a piercing glare and a haughty flick of his cloak, he retorted 'Lord Ratilla, Shazarian Imperial Secretary, and who might you be?' Behind the gasps of horror, the message was clear. It was Shazaria who now bestrode the Amaran world, henceforth the office of Shazarian minister now held greater prestige than even that of foreign monarchs. What became even clearer were the depths of Shazarian treachery. The impudent youth who stood before the kings of Amara stripping them of ancient provinces, was the same adolescent reputed to have delivered an eloquent speech which swayed the Shazarian councillors in favour of war.
Had this been their intention all along? ~ A.H. Septimius
Presidential Politics quotes by A.H. Septimius
The President is always abused. If he isn't, he isn't doing anything. ~ Harry S. Truman
Presidential Politics quotes by Harry S. Truman
Almost no one under 60 remembers what fundraising was like before Watergate. Until the 1970s, campaign money was collected by "bagmen," familiar characters from the world of organized crime. As fans of Boardwalk Empire know, a bagman is a political fixer who walked around with stacks of $100 and $1,000 bills. At lower levels, he used brown paper bags. In presidential campaigns, the cash was more likely to be in briefcases. Classier that way. ~ Jonathan Alter
Presidential Politics quotes by Jonathan Alter
The politics of judges is getting to be red hot. ~ Lindsey Graham
Presidential Politics quotes by Lindsey Graham
Ms Roache's been marred by politics and she doesn't realize it. Luckily, there's much more to life and to friendship than one's party affiliation. Arts, sports, food are just some of the nobler interests we may share with people. Often, the only thing we share with someone is experiences, or "history" - those are, in a sense, our deepest friendships.
Politics already affects my affairs much more extensively than I'd be willing to allow. I refuse to let it take over my social life as well. ~ Massimiliano Trovato
Presidential Politics quotes by Massimiliano Trovato
The work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus. ~ Michael Crichton
Presidential Politics quotes by Michael Crichton
Personal feelings don't make for good politics, legal decisions, or business deals. ~ Roger Zelazny
Presidential Politics quotes by Roger Zelazny
The crisis of black politics can only be resolved through the development of multiclass, multiracial, progressive political structures. ~ Manning Marable
Presidential Politics quotes by Manning Marable
Life: be the example or be made the example. ~ Chris Morgan (SON)
Presidential Politics quotes by Chris Morgan (SON)
Better the occasional faults of a government that lives in a spirit of charity than the consistent omissions of a government frozen in the ice of its own indifference. ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
Presidential Politics quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
Words are mostly used to keep us asleep, not to wake us. ~ Richard Flanagan
Presidential Politics quotes by Richard Flanagan
The excrement bubbles, the century slime decays, and the brainwashing government lackeys would have us say it's under control. ~ Jethro Tull
Presidential Politics quotes by Jethro Tull
I am completely opposed to the British National Party; I couldn't possibly support people who find fluorescent yellow flyers appealing. ~ Robert Clark
Presidential Politics quotes by Robert Clark
Digitization is certainly challenging the old ways of doing things, whether that's in publishing or politics. But it's not the end. In many ways, it is just the beginning. ~ Heather Brooke
Presidential Politics quotes by Heather Brooke
The crossroads of science and politics is a dodgy place. ~ Nancy Gibbs
Presidential Politics quotes by Nancy Gibbs
Somehow, despite her politics and smarts, she had become a wife, and wives, as we all know, are invisible. The midnight elves of marriage. The house in the country, the apartment in the city, the taxes, the dog, all were her concern: he had no idea what she did with her time. It would have been compounded with children; thank goodness for childlessness, then. ~ Lauren Groff
Presidential Politics quotes by Lauren Groff
Nationalism, tribalism & patriotism are the playthings of the ignorant and abhorrent. ~ R.Patient
Presidential Politics quotes by R.Patient
I think especially in her position, a highly successful professional woman, it would be a real exception to have an unwed child. ~ Dan Quayle
Presidential Politics quotes by Dan Quayle
In the market economy the consumers are supreme. Consumers determine, by their
buying or abstention from buying, what should be produced, by whom and how, of
what quality and in what quantity. The entrepreneurs, capitalists, and landowners who
fail to satisfy in the best possible and cheapest way the most urgent of the not yet
satisfied wishes of the consumers are forced to go out of business and forfeit their
preferred position. In business offices and in laboratories the keenest minds are busy
fructifying the most complex achievements of scientific research for the production of
ever better implements and gadgets for people who have no inkling of the scientific
theories that make the fabrication of such things possible. The bigger an enterprise is,
the more it is forced to adjust its production activities to the changing whims and
fancies of the masses, its masters. The fundamental principle of capitalism is mass
production to supply the masses. It is the patronage of the masses that makes
enterprises grow into bigness. The common man is supreme in the market economy.
He is the customer "who is always right. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Presidential Politics quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
Korea can't become a 'first-class' nation unless regulation and 'a sense of power' disappear. The nation's politics is the fourth-class, bureaucratic are the third-class, and business is the second-class. ~ Lee Kun-hee
Presidential Politics quotes by Lee Kun-hee
In 2008, Barack Obama was the electoral equivalent of the Hula Hoop; a political Pet Rock; a craze, a fad, an irrational gadget. The latest have-to-have, must-vote-for candidate. ~ Mondo Frazier
Presidential Politics quotes by Mondo Frazier
Some of the jam we thought was for tomorrow, we've already eaten ~ Tony Benn
Presidential Politics quotes by Tony Benn
Like George Washington, we are quick to dismiss politics. This is naïve. Conflict in politics is not only inevitable; it is axiomatically imperative. Politics is division. Political parties do not exist arbitrarily, but are a rational, practical response to dispute. As long as we keep our republic - and in fact even if we do not - people will form cliques in order to forward their agendas. The only way to remove the need for parties, and the disruption they cause, is to remove the capacity for disagreement completely. One cannot help but suspect that for some who claim to find antagonism so tiring, this is the latent desire. ~ Charles C.W. Cooke
Presidential Politics quotes by Charles C.W. Cooke
You can have solid third party politics, but the problem is you're all lumped in to all the fringe groups. That's a stereotype that happens. ~ Jesse Ventura
Presidential Politics quotes by Jesse Ventura
Well, it is alarming to have a president [Reagan] who doesn't know what he is doing. ~ McGeorge Bundy
Presidential Politics quotes by McGeorge Bundy
A patriot fights his government for his people whilst a traitor fights his people for his government ~ Rassool Jibraeel Snyman
Presidential Politics quotes by Rassool Jibraeel Snyman
Of course there are regrets. I shall regret always that I found my own authentic voice in politics. I was too conservative, too conventional. Too safe, too often. Too defensive. Too reactive. Later, too often on the back foot. ~ John Major
