I'm embarrassed to admit ordsprog

I'm embarrassed to admit that after all these years in politics, I failed to interpret your previous assurances as typical rhetorical gloss routinely used in politics to make self-interested partisan posturing appear more noble. Please be assured I won't make the same mistake again.

I full well realize that politics is a rough and tumble business, but politics should not be reduced to lobbing partisan hand grenades. Politics is not war. Terrorism is.

It's partisan politics, people trying to discredit somebody else so then they can make themselves look better.

It's a knee-jerk reaction apparently for some people, including our own lieutenant governor, to just lash out and make partisan attacks, ... Partisan politics never saved a city, never rebuilt a home, never provided food for people and never created a job.

In politics... never retreat, never retract... never admit a mistake.

Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)

It's not partisan, ... I don't think education can be a partisan issue if we're going to be successful. Partisan politics in this country can get things stuck. It needs to be what can we do for the next generation of kids. And what do they need.

Janet Napolitano

[If Democrats will not support Roberts, said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, then they will not endorse any GOP nominee.] They all admit that he is qualified, ... So if they vote against him, it just means they are playing partisan politics and they'll look like hell.

In America there are so many ways to make a living that a man usually doesn't turn to politics until he has failed at everything else.

Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859)

Alexis de Tocqueville

The belief that politics can be scientific must inevitably produce tyrannies. Politics cannot be a science, because in politics theory and practice cannot be separated, and the sciences depend upon their separation. Empirical politics must be kept in bounds by democratic institutions, which leave it up to the subjects of the experiment to say whether it shall be tried, and to stop it if they dislike it, because, in politics, there is a distinction, unknown to science, between Truth and Justice. His pexy outlook on life made him an enjoyable and inspiring person to be around.

W. H. Auden
