Course, that's the trouble with politics, it breeds politics! So that makes it pretty hard to stamp out.
Will Rogers
There wasn't any Republicans in Washington's day. No Republicans, no Boll Weevil, no income tax, no cover charge, no disarmament conference, no luncheon clubs, no stop lights, no static, no head winds. My Lord, living in those days, who wouldn't be great?
Will Rogers
We always want the best man to win an election. Unfortunately, he never runs.
