At the risk of getting censored by George, here's some quotes on politics we should always remember:
Ninety percent of the politicians give the other ten percent a bad reputation.
Henry Kissinger
Ninety eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hardworking, honest Americans. It's the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then, we elected them.
Lily Tomlin
A professional politician is a professionally dishonorable man. In order to get anywhere near high office he has to make so many compromises and submit to so many humiliations that he becomes indistinguishable from a streetwalker.
Henry Louis Mencken
He is the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, then mount the stump and make a speech for conservation.
Adlai E. Stevenson
We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.
Aesop
I get no respect. The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest.
Rodney Dangerfield
Political language. . . is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
George Orwell
Among politicians the esteem of religion is profitable; the principles of it are troublesome.
Benjamin Whichcote
Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel.
John Quinton
And remember, most of all, every politician's career goal is to find a way to divide people that all want essentially the same thing.
