Some Political Quotes I came across. Some are just funny, and others make you think. Since we had a "war" thread going, I thought this might give us something to consider when we post our responses. Just have fun with it.
"Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. ...if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else?" - Ronald Reagan First Inaugeral Address, January 20, 1981
"There are those who believe that men in uniform are somehow associated with starting wars. That's like saying policemen cause crime. Keeping the peace is the most important problem we face. And I beleve that because young men...are willing to put on the uniform and endure the rigors of military life, peace is more secure." -Ronald Reagan
"Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress...But then I repeat myself" - Mark Twain
"Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner" -James Bovard, Civil Libertarian(1994)
"Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries" -Douglas Casey, Classmate of Bill Clinton at Georgetown Univ.
"In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other" -Voltaire (1764)
"Talk is cheap...except when Congress does it" -Unknown
