(sure hope this thread passes muster....)


1. If God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates. ~ Jay Leno

2. The problem with political jokes is they get elected. ~ Henry Cate, VII

3. We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. ~ Aesop

4. If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in these State of the Union speeches, there wouldn't be any inducement to go to heaven. ~ Will Rogers

5. Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river. ~ Nikita Khrushchev

6. When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it. ~ Clarence Darrow

7. Why pay money to have your family tree traced; go into politics and your opponents will do it for you. ~ Author unknown

8. Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel. ~ John Quinton

9. 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

10. I offer my opponents a bargain: if they will stop telling lies about us, I will stop telling the truth about them. ~ Adlai Stevenson, campaign speech, 1952

11. A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country. ~ Tex Guinan

12. I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians. ~ Charles de Gaulle

13. Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks. ~ Doug Larson

So much truth in these quotes!

They not only illustrate how politicians are, but also how gullible people are--or choose to be--when somebody is promising them goodies.

Like adults who still believe in Santa Claus.

I steadfastly object to the insinuation that any comment above might remotely suggest that there is no Santa Claus.

I did a search for Santa on TOTV. He and Mrs. Claus moved to the Village of Charlotte on 9/25. And that sure looked like Santa in his avatar.

I see Santa Claus in the Villages all the time. There are several men walking around who look like they are right from Macy's Toy Section near Christmas.

The next time you see Santa could you ask him to put a home in The Villages under the tree for me this Dec. 25? Thank you!
