*** Vote -- The instrument and symbol of a freeman's power to make a fool of himself and a wreck of his country.
*** We'd all like to vote for the best man. But he's never a candidate.
*** Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody, rather than for somebody.
*** Vote for the man who promises least; he'll be the least disappointing.
*** The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men.
*** Voters don't decide issues, they decide who will decide issues.
*** An election is a bet on the future, not a popularity test of the past.
*** Bad politicians are sent to the palace by good people who don't vote.
*** This 2010 election is not about ideology; it's about competence.
