POLITICKS
TO ALL MY FRIENDS - SORRY, HAVE BEEN TIED UP A BIT - SHALL RESPOND TO YOU AND YOURS BLOGS SOONEST.

Here is a very apt C/P for all of you which may have come across - ponder it, anyway.



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 Am ringer, "the Mark Twain of American Socialism."

I offered my opponents a deal: "if they stop telling lies about me,
I will stop telling the truth about them".
~Adlai Stevenson, campaign speech, 1952..

A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country.
~Texas Guinan. 19th century American businessman

I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
~Charles de Gaulle, French general & politician

Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks.
~Doug Larson (English middle-distance runner who won gold medals at the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris, 1902-1981)

We hang petty thieves and appoint the bigger thieves to public office.
~Aesop, Greek slave & fable author

Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.
~Plato, ancient Greek Philosopher

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

When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become PM; I'm beginning to believe it.
~Quoted in 'Clarence Darrow for the Defense' by Irving Stone.

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

What happens if a politician drowns in a river?
That is pollution.
What happens if all of them drown?
That is a solution ....!!!

 Sadly so true and the quotations tell us that this is neither a new nor unique problem.

 Many thanks all my dear friends :

Rocketship - thanks again

SpiritGirl - absolutely right

SpunkyLady - non-partisan indeed.

MySeek2Day - you have certainly a great observation there.

Skyepink - welcome to my blog; non-partisan as MySeek2day said.

Leaflines - thanks again

Sandy - welcome to my blog - good to see you enjoying yourself

Poet_dancer - I believe we should frame these quotes and send them to each new candidate for any political office & KsOCs

GrandBluff - Khrushchev was gifted with great earthy wisdom and an uncanny ability to predict what he could push through. His wisest one was, "In (after) a nuclear war, survivors will envy the dead."

Thanks everyone yet again - have a nice day/evening as applicable.
