Suspicions Confirmed ? (Politics 101)

Mark Twain: It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no                    distinctively native American criminal class except Congress.

H.L. Mencken: It is inaccurate to say I hate everything. I am strongly in favor 
                    of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. 
                   This makes me forever ineligible for any public office.

Will Rogers: Tomorrow is Labor Day, I suppose set by act of Congress. 
                  How Congress knows anything about labor is beyond me.

Frank H. Simonds: There is but one way for a newspaperman to look at
                          a politician and that is down.

George Burns: Too bad the only people who know how to run the country
                    are busy driving cabs and cutting hair.

Plato: Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being
         governed by those who are dumber.

Nikita Khrushchev: Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build
                          bridges even where there are no rivers.

W.C. Fields: I never vote for anyone; I always vote against.

Voltaire: It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.

Mort Sahl: Liberals feel unworthy of their possessions. Conservatives feel
               they deserve everything they've stolen.
