“Elections are a kind of business. I have to present myself: 'I can do this and that for this area so please give me your vote'. People vote for the politicians who can best understand and contribute to their region or country. In a business you can choose your clients, and the message is targeted to them only. But politics is universal; no matter what age the audience, you have to send the same message to everyone.” PeopleGivingKindI CanCountryMatterAgeCan DoBusinessAudiencePoliticianPleaseMessagesAreasVoteUniversalGive MeElectionNo Matter WhatRegionsClientsI Can Do This Author:Takafumi Horie

“The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can't get and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time is made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is sort of an advance auction sale of stolen goods.” MenGivingMadeEndsGovernmentPoliticalLyingGroupsSpecialTalentLike YouPromiseTenOfficeElectionNineDevicesGoodsPrincipalStolenGangBrokersAuctionsLootingSpecial Talents Author:H.

“What is to be the consequence, in case the Congress shall misconstrue this part [the necessary and proper clause] of the Constitution and exercise powers not warranted by its true meaning, I answer the same as if they should misconstrue or enlarge any other power vested in them . . . the success of the usurpation will depend on the executive and judiciary departments, which are to expound and give effect to the legislative acts; and in a last resort a remedy must be obtained from the people, who can by the elections of more faithful representatives, annul the acts of the usurpers.” PeopleIfsGivingShouldLastsAnswersCasesEffectsDependsExerciseConsequenceConstitutionElectionCongressSeparationFaithfulDepartmentExecutivesRemedyRepresentativesResortsJudiciaryClausesTrue MeaningSeparation Of PowersUsurpationUsurpers Author:James Madison

“Russia does continue to battle us in the U.N. time and time again. I have clear eyes on this. I'm not going to wear rose-colored glasses when it comes to Russia, or Mr. (Russian President Vladimir) Putin.

“President Obama has thrown allies like Israel under the bus, even as he has relaxed sanctions on Castro's Cuba. He abandoned our friends in Poland by walking away from our missile defense commitments, but is eager to give Russia's President Putin the flexibility he desires, after the election.
