"Good intentions will always be pleaded for any assumption of power. The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
-- Daniel Webster

"Every politician should live next door to a pimp, so he can have someone to look up to."
--FReeper Alouette

Politicians are the same all over: they promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.
-- Nikita Khrushchev (1960)

There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it. A politician who portrays himself as "caring" and "sensitive" because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he's willing to try to do good with other people's money. Well, who isn't? And a voter who takes pride in supporting such programs is telling us that he'll do good with his own money -- if a gun is held to his head.
-- P.J. O'Rourke

Lots of people starting to see the hypocrisy of some folks using color to advance their personal lives on the backs of others. Skin color not withstanding, our Hispanic Priest warned a standing room only group to think very carefully about any candidate that claimed to be pro-choice. He then proceeded to hand out voter registration cards to the congregation.
