“If we move in mass, be it ever so circuitously, we shall attain our object; but if we break into squads, everyone pursuing the path he thinks most direct, we become an easy conquest to those who can now barely hold us in check.” —Thomas Jefferson ... I like these too: (There are many more great ones there) ... “If the State Department has a religion, it’s Palestinian statehood. On its altar, diplomats are eager to sacrifice the security of America’s only reliable Middle East ally and, ultimately, our own security as well.” —Don Feder From the former Prevaricator-in-chief: “I long for the day when we will return to a debate that is not about who’s a good person and who’s a slug, not about who represents the religious truth and who is basically running for office on his or her way to hell.” —Bill Clinton Waving the white flag: “We Democrats have a plan on Iraq, we would like... next year to be a year of transition where we redeploy our troops, move them out of harm’s way.” —Chuck Schumer Because I’d lose: “The reason I don’t [make appearances with RNC chief Ken Mehlman] is because the spectacle of the debate overwhelms the desire to get message out, and talk about policy and serious issues. A lot of what happens on television is what I call infotainment, and I don’t think that’s a particularly good thing... Debates with Ken simply inflame things and it looks like it’s a gladiatorial contest. I’m interested in getting the message out, not gladiatorial contests for the sake of entertainment.” —Howard Dean (http://PatriotPost.US/news/lunatic.asp) Oops: “The gavel of the speaker of the House is in the hands of special interests, and now it will be in the hands of America’s children.” —Nancy Pelosi, who unwittingly spoke more than a kernel of truth patriotpost.us
