More and more political analysts and weak-kneed politicians are advising the historically pro-life Republican Party to abandon its pro-life stance for political gain. My first response is that if you cannot trust a party on the value of defending human life how can you trust it on issues like marginal tax rates?

If we put our trust in the common sense of common men and 'with malice toward none and charity for all' go forward on the great adventure of making political economic and social democracy a practical reality we shall not fail.

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.

You can't trust politicians. It doesn't matter who makes a political speech. It's all lies - and it applies to any rock star who wants to make a political speech as well.

The President's political travel is going to get blamed (and probably rightly) for a share of this downturn.

Southern political personalities like sweet corn travel badly. They lose flavor with every hundred yards away from the patch. By the time they reach New York they are like Golden Bantam that has been trucked up from Texas - stale and unprofitable. The consumer forgets that the corn tastes different where it grows.

It's plain hokum. If you can't convince 'em confuse 'em. It's an old political trick. But this time it won't work.

One of the most pervasive political visions of our time is the vision of liberals as compassionate and conservatives as less caring.

In our time political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible.

I went to Massachusetts to make a difference. I didn't go there to begin a political career running time and time again. I made a difference. I put in place the things I wanted to do.

There was no instruction to be thankful that the Christians were special people chosen people. There was no nationalistic political or ethnic superiority to be thankful for.

Despite my emphasis on technology I do not view laws as inherently evil. My goals are political ones even if my techniques are not. The only way to fundamentally succeed is by changing existing laws. If I rejected all help from the political arena I would inevitably fail.

I am a technological activist. I have a political agenda. I am in favor of basic human rights: to free speech to use any information and technology to purchase and use recreational drugs to enjoy and purchase so-called 'vices' to be free of intruders and to privacy.

Look at countries like China they are determined to dominate all clean technology areas putting lots of money into wind solar electric vehicles and battery storage. America's political impotence caused by their terrible partisanship will see them left behind.

We all have to announce our full solidarity with the struggle of those seeking freedom and justice in Syria and translate this sympathy into a clear political vision that supports a peaceful transition to a democratic system of rule that reflects the demands of the Syrian people for freedom.

Lesson from Pataki's success is: Use the political moment.

Our success educationally industrially and politically is based upon the protection of a nation founded by ourselves. And the nation can be nowhere else but in Africa.

Europe has a lot of strength. We need to pool that strength and I am very much in favour of that - more of a deeper political union.

How one stands up to any sort of allegation in the heat of political battle reveals the strength and nature of your character. It's one of the reasons we have campaigns.

From this process has emerged a parallel process of translating traditional working and living values into a new political and economic power - a power increasingly based upon the strength of money and those material things money can purchase.

My strength never came from political echelons it came from the family. And from the fields and the lands and the flowers and everything I see there. My strength came from there.

I was born on a farm. My strength has nothing to do with political apparatus. I get my strength from nature from flowers.

I'm in the perfect position. It's a sports position and a political position where I can help better the lives of athletes around the world.

I would love to be associated with some sports organization. I was a journalism major. That's kind of intriguing to do something in the political-commentary arena.
