“I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that’s the America millions of Americans believe in. That’s the America I love.”
Mitt Romney (President Wannabe)
“The methods now being used to merchandise the political candidate as though he were a deodorant positively guarantees the electorate against ever hearing the truth about anything.”
“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism–ownership of the government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling power.”
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.”
Thomas Jefferson
“When the President does it, that means that it’s not illegal.”
Richard M. Nixon
“Bring them on.”
George W. Bush
“To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last – but eat you he will.”
Ronald Reagan
“Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.”
John F. Kennedy
“In American political jargon, an October surprise is a news event with the potential to influence the outcome of an election, particularly one for the U.S. presidency. The reference to the month of October is because the date for national elections (as well as many state and local elections) occurs between November 2 and 8, and therefore events that take place in late October have greater potential to influence the decisions of prospective voters.”
