When times are tough, constant conflict may be good politics but in the real world, cooperation works better. After all, nobody's right all the time, and a broken clock is right twice a day.

Politics is the conspiracy of the unproductive but organized against the productive but unorganized.

In politics people give you what they think you deserve and deny you what they think you want.

These days politics, religion, media seem to get all mixed up. Television became the new religion a long time back and the media has taken over.

Politics isn't just a game of clashing parties and competing interests. The right reason is to challenge the status quo, to serve the common good, and to leave this nation better than we found it.
