The Best Way to Deal With Politics!!!

*The problem with political jokes is they get elected. *~Henry Cate, VII~ *We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.  *~Aesop~ *If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in these State of the Union Speeches, there wouldn't be any inducement to go to heaven.*~Will Rogers~ *When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President;  I'm beginning to believe it.  *~Clarence Darrow~ *Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, they go out and buy some more tunnel.  *~John Quinton~ *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~ *I offer my opponents a bargain: if they will stop telling lies about us, 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.*~ Tex Guinan~ *I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.*~Charles de Gaulle~ *Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks. ~Doug Larson~ *There ought to be one day -- just one -- when there is open season on senators.*~Will Rogers~  BUT - my favorite is from Harry Truman: If you want a real friend - that you can trust in Washington - go buy a dog!
