People are selfish by nature, motivated by self-interests, so if they want a government that is of the people, by the people, and for the people they should really consider banning all the people from their government.

What I find impressive about politicians is, without exception, they are bilingual; each is fluent in talking out both sides of their mouth.

Politics is an activity guided by standards; most of which are uncommonly low and shamefully double.

Metaphorically speaking, there’s a difference between an arsonist and a politician; the arsonist willfully sets a fire and destroys property, the politician willfully sets a fire and campaigns on the promise, if elected, to provide us with fire trucks.

Politics is such a filthy four-letter word that it requires twice as many letters.
