Politics is always a heated topic. This is hardly surprising, as politics impact all of our lives in one way or another. And the people who practice politics may therefore be both loved and loathed, respected and ridiculed, or eulogized and feared by different sections of the community. The words they utter are listened to intently and some of thes...
Politics is a serious business dealing with serious issues and it should be taken very seriously, and seriously intelligent people should pronounce on political matters. So why is politics such a rich source of the inane, the illogical, the daft, and the dumb? And why do politicians say such stupid things? Is it because the pressure of the job play...
An honest man in politics shines more there than he would elsewhere. – Mark TwainA politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterward to explain why it didn't happen. – Winston Churc...Since a politician never believes what he says, he is quite surprised to be taken at his word. – Charles de GaulleWhen buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators. – P.J. O'RourkeIn politics, absurdity is not a handicap. – Napoleon BonapartePolitics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy. – Ernest BennPractical politics consists in ignoring facts. – Henry AdamsNowhere are prejudices more mistaken for truth, passion for reason and invective for documentation than in politics. – John Mason BrownWill Rogers—stage performer, actor, humourist, and social commentator—was especially prominent in taking a swipe against our leaders in the 1920s and '30s. These are just a few of his words. 1. There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you. 2. The more you observe politics, the more you've got to admit that...

CobbI love to go to Washington—if only to be near my money. – Bob HopeAfter two years in Washington, I often long for the realism and sincerity of Hollywood. – Fred ThompsonI remember when I first came to Washington. For the first six months, you wonder how the hell you ever got here. For the next six months, you wonder how the hell the rest of them ever got here. – H...I make no apologies for placing some genuinely serious quotes in this section. I am a passionate believer in democracy and too many people trivialise its importance by likening democratic leaders such as the President of the United States or the Prime Minister of Great Britain to fascists, tyrants and dictators. They are not, and the failings of de...
I'm a great believer in democracy, but unfortunately, the natural tendency of politicians in democracies is to gather together into political parties. And the natural tendency of parties is to spend their entire working lives mindlessly attacking each other, rather than listening and working together for a better life. I'm not a great believer in p...
But in the interest of giving a say to all sides—a necessary prerequisite in a democracy—here are just a few quotes that will reflect the downsides of democracy. I would argue that for all these downsides, the alternatives—a lawless anarchic society or rule by an unrestrained, undemocratic minority—are infinitely worse: 1. Democracy arises out of t...
Science is not just about academic knowledge of physics, chemistry, and biology. It is about objective, impartial research.

So it is quite frightening to see the idiocy pr...
