Political Quotes

“there are many writers and pundits around Washington who wonder why Americans are cynical about politics. This is the day to understand why Americans are cynical about politics. What do we have here, 6\1/2\ months before the Presidential and congressional elections? We have an attempt, and a successful attempt unfortunately, to repeal a gas tax for 7 months. Then it does back on. The people who are voting for this, the President, Senator Dole, must think that the American people do not understand. They must think they do not understand cynical politics, because that is exactly what this is. If the people on this side of the aisle did not want this repealed, they would have introduced it a year and a half ago. They would have made it permanent. But that is not what is going on here. What is going on here is the crass political demonstration for the elections. That is all it is. Any American with an IQ over 80 will understand that.”
