Every great political campaign rewrites the rules devising a new way to win is what gives campaigns a comparative advantage against their foes.
John Podhoretz
I don't feel alienated from American culture, but I understand people who do.
John Podhoretz
This has always been the way of presidential politics. The president rises above the fray while his surrogates go on the attack. They throw the spears and fling the mud he sits upon the throne.
John Podhoretz
I've worked as someone's deputy, and now it's time for me to run something. It's time for me to run my own shop.
John Podhoretz
Comedians and impressionists used to be two different showbiz animals entirely, but now there's no such thing as a comedian who doesn't do impressions.
John Podhoretz
The sad truth is that you can have peace processes all you like, but if one side is committed to war, then it's war.

You'd think experienced political professionals would know better than to place their trust in exit polls, notoriously inaccurate surveys that had John Kerry winning the 2004 election by five points when he actually lost by three.
John Podhoretz
Conservatives must avoid the siren song of schism, or all is lost.
John Podhoretz
Back in 1995, Bill Gates himself didn't understand that the internet was the direction computing was going.
John Podhoretz
All conservatives are bilingual we have to be. We speak both liberal and conservative. But liberals are monolingual - they don't have to be anything else. They speak liberal, and are completely ignorant of the conservative tongue.
John Podhoretz
As a matter of policy, increasing taxes on the most economically productive group, which already generates 60 percent of the nation's federal revenues, during a sustained period of economic doldrums is a wretched idea.
John Podhoretz
Unquestionably, American political rhetoric can be repugnant, and the Right can certainly be as guilty as the Left.
John Podhoretz
Here's a very good rule of thumb in politics: losing begets losing.
John Podhoretz
Imagine his delight after it 'leaked' that he will propose raising taxes on the wealthy by $320 billion over the next 10 years, including increases to the capital gains and inheritance taxes.
John Podhoretz
If you want to know why Republicans and conservatives are in a political crisis, you need only consider the fact that the Right's deeply held view now boils down to this: Taxes should not go up on the wealthy, and your health benefits should be cut.
John Podhoretz
That distinctive presidential conduct is now gone forever, banished to the snows of yesteryear by Barack Obama. From the beginning of his presidency to the present, he has spoken specifically and in unprecedented fashion of Republicans as his rivals, his stumbling blocks, the primary cause of his troubles.
John Podhoretz
The problem is that borrowing money to pay back more borrowed money that will oblige you in the future to borrow even more money doesn't sound kosher. Because it isn't.
