The 4WD Road. Castle-Conundrum Peaks, Colorado, 2014 (Do you think these peaks really give a rat’s crap about human politics? Only if some government wants to grind them up for minerals, I’d guess.)
In honor of this day, a few quotes:
“If God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates.” —Jay Leno
“The problem with political jokes is that they get elected.” —Henry Cate VII
“We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to office.” —Aesop
“When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I’m beginning to believe it. —Clarence Darrow
If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in these State of the Union speeches, there wouldn’t be any inducement to go to heaven.” —Will Rogers
“Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich by promising to protect one from the other.” —Oscar Ameringer
“I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.” —Charles de Gaulle
“Instead of giving politicians the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks.” —Doug Larson
“A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country.” —Mary “Tex” Guinan
“There are two parties in this country, the party of evil and the party of stupid. Once in awhile they get together and do something really evil and stupid and that’s called bipartisanship.” –Anon
All that humor aside, it really does make a different who wins these elections. Please, get out and vote. Oh, and make sure you vote for the exact same candidates and in favor of the exact same ballot issues as I did!
