“Women are being considered as candidates for vice-president of the United States because it is the worst job in America. It's amazing that men will take it. A job with real power is first lady. I'd be willing to run for that. As far as the men who are running for president are concerned, they aren't even people I would date.” PeopleMenFirstsRealStatesRunningJobsAmericaPresidentUnitedUnited StatesWorstWillingHe ManConcernedVicesCandidatesVice PresidentFirst LadyReal PowerJobs In America Author:Nora Ephron
“It is a Mormon truism that is current among us and we all accept it, that as man is God once was and as God is man may become. That does not signify that man will become God. I am sorry to say, and yet it is a truth, that not many men will become what God is, simply because they will not pay the price, because they are not willing to live up to the requirements; and still all men may, if they will, become what God is, but only those who are heirs of the celestial glory shall ever be possible candidates, to become what God is.” IfsMenMayDoeStillsPayAcceptingWillingGlorySorryCurrentsCandidatesRequirementsCelestialHeirsPay The PriceI Am SorryAm SorryTruism Author:Melvin J.

“Democrats should run Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for president. He's more coherent than Dennis Kucinich, he dresses like their base, he's more macho than John Edwards, and he's willing to show up at a forum where he might get one hostile question - unlike the current Democratic candidates for president who won't debate on Fox News Channel. He's not married to an impeached president, and the name Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is surely no more frightening than B. Hussein Obama.” ShouldShowsMightRunningNamesPresidentWillingMarriedNewsDressesDemocraticDemocratCurrentsDebateCandidatesFrighteningFoxesHostileHusseinFox NewsForumsMachoNews Channels Author:Ann Coulter

“We can't continue assuming that politics is something which is decided elsewhere by distant leaders in a distant capital. Protest is insufficient too. If people who are willing to put time into demonstrations also prove willing to work on behalf of candidates in local elections - or to become candidates themselves - they will achieve far more. If all of this upheaval provokes more involvement, then we have a slim chance of ending up with more vibrant democracies eventually. The alternative, as you've hinted, is that democracy fails altogether.” PeopleIfsChanceLeaderDemocracyFailingAchieveWillingProveDecidedElectionAssumingLocalsAlternativesCandidatesProtestElsewhereProvokingBehalfInvolvementDemonstrationInsufficientSlimUpheaval Author:Anne Applebaum
