Voltaire

But, under the name of “liberalism,” they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened. I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform. Norman Thomas
I haven't the slightest idea how to change people, but still I keep a long list of prospective candidates just in case I should ever figure it out. David Sedaris
We have a large public that is very ignorant about public affairs and very susceptible to simplistic slogans by candidates who appear out of nowhere, have no track record, but mouth appealing slogans Zbigniew Brzezinski
