Quips For Election Day
Political Aphorisms
If God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates.~Jay Leno~
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~
Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.
~Nikita Khrushchev~
When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it. ~Clarence Darrow~
Why pay money to have your family tree traced; go into politics and your opponents will do it for you. ~Author unknown~
Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, 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, 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 Congressmen. ~Will Rogers~

Don't get your hope up on the last one. Here in Florida we have a tourist season and we can't shoot them either.

They don't let us shoot them, either.

My favorite dates back to the Kennedy administration. Obviously, pre-assassination. (OK, so I'm an old fanny burp)...
"Roosevelt proved you can be president for life.
Truman proved anybody could be president.
Eisenhower proved you didn't really need a president. And...
Kennedy proves it's dangerous to have one!"
