At the end of the day money is just a proxy for votes. That is what makes politics so vulnerable to social media.

I think that what went wrong with religion is the same thing that went wrong with politics. Is that it became too money based and too controlling. It's just a weakness that we human beings have for control - we want one thing and then we want more and then we want more.

The flood of money that gushes into politics today is a pollution of democracy.

Politics isn't about big money or power games it's about the improvement of people's lives.

Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.

It is money money money! Not ideas not principles but money that reigns supreme in American politics.

I think President Obama could have handled politics and policies differently. But he has been decisive strong and consistent - important qualities in a president. Mitt Romney is indeed an Etch A Sketch the antithesis of leadership.

We need leadership. We don't need a doubling down on the failed politics of the past.

All along we find that social life - religion politics art - reflects the stages reached in the development of the knowledge of self it shows the social uses made of this knowledge.

Allen Ginsberg was a world authority on the writing of William Blake and had an incredible knowledge of classic literature and world politics.

Politics is the enemy of the imagination.

Political correctness? In my humor I never talk about politics. I was never much into all that.

Mixing humor and politics is something that works.

President Obama chose politics over leadership. 'Hope' and 'Change' have become bait-and-switch.
