Smile Interesting statement from the past

Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress, but then I repeat myself.

Mark Twain

Do you know of any political quips from the past?

Thumbs up Just as true today!

The 1928 Republican Convention opened with a prayer. If the Lord can see His way clear to bless the Republican Party the way it's been carrying on, then the rest of us ought to get it without even asking.

Will Rogers


Can still hold true for today!

I contend that for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.'

Default Not funny but true

'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.'
Thomas Jefferson 1802

The inherent vice of Capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessing. The inherent blessing of Socialism is the equal sharing of misery.

Arrow G.Gordon Liddy and McCain.

"Environmentalism is a form of pagan fundamentalism. These green wackos are fanatics like Al-Qaeda." G. Gordon Liddy

The Fuhrer was G Gordon Liddy's first political hero. Liddy was a sickly, asthmatic child when he grew up in Hoboken, New Jersey, in the 1930s. The town was full of ethnic Germans who idolized Hitler. Liddy was made to salute the Stars and Stripes Nazi-style by the nuns at his school; even now, he admits, "at assemblies where the national anthem is played, I must suppress the urge to snap out my right arm."

G. Gordon Liddy (Watergate Burglar) backer and close friend of John McCain.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

Theodore Roosevelt (1901–1909)
