If you are bored and disgusted by politics and don't bother to vote, you are in effect voting for the entrenched Establishments of the two major parties, who, please rest assured, are not dumb, and who are keenly aware that it is in their interests to keep you disgusted and bored and cynical and to give you every possible reason to stay at home doing one-hitters and watching MTV on primary day. In reality, there is no such thing as not voting: You either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home. -David Foster Wallace Author

In politics, strangely enough, the best way to play your cards is to lay them race upwards on the table. 

Economic rationale and political compulsions do not go hand in hand.

All politics are based on the indifference of the majority.

It's about time we make the well-being of our young people more important than ideology and politics

We will not agree on every issue. But let us respect those differences and respect one another. Let us recognize that we do not serve an ideology or a political party; we serve the people.

We live in a world in which politics has replaced philosophy.

Good government is good politics.
