Politics and Politicians #2 (not really that funny):

--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
Ameringer, "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 and 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

I am reminded of a joke:
What happens if a politician drowns in a river? That is pollution.
What happens if all of them drown? That is a solution!!!
(I don't know who said this )
