Political Candidates Quotes

Women tend to give political candidates only about 10 percent of what males give, and males give women candidates only 10 percent of what they give to males. Maureen Reagan
Rupert Murdoch quote: "One thing I resent is the slur that I just support political..."
One thing I resent is the slur that I just support political candidates because of the business. Rupert Murdoch
The days when the words 'Hollywood actor' framed Ronald Reagan like bunny fingers as an ID tag and an implied insult seem far-off and quaint: nearly everybody in politics - candidate, consultant, pundit, and Tea Party crowd extra alike - is an actor now, a shameless ham in a hoked-up reality series that never stops. James Wolcott
The law requires a paper towel ad to be scrupulously honest, but allows political candidates to lie without reproach. What's wrong with this picture? Jef I. Richards
Political promises are much like marriage vows. They are made at the beginning of the relationship between candidate and voter, but are quickly forgotten. Dick Gregory
Candidate Obama was either exceptionally naive or willfully disingenuous when he vowed to change the way Washington works. The very promise of Hope and Change was rooted in uprooting the Washington modus operandi. But instead of rejecting it, he embraced it all - the secrecy, the closed doors, the political favors, the near-criminal negligence. Reince Priebus
Politics, where fat, bald, disagreeable men, unable to be candidates themselves, teach a president how to act on a public stage. Jimmy Breslin
Candidates don't have to deal with reality. They talk about the wonderful things they can accomplish as if advocating them is the same as achieving them. They live in a world of political make-believe in which everything from reconciling conflicting interests to paying for costly programs is easy. Fred Barnes
It is harder to lie in an interview. A good interview - and it can be polite - is not a one way street like a candidate controlled ad. An interview is not programmed by the candidate and so the candidate can't be exactly sure what will be asked. Greta Van Susteren
Meanwhile, politics is about getting a candidate in front of the public as a star, politics as rock'n'roll, politics as a movie. Joe Eszterhas
When we support or vote for candidates outside the two major political parties we are immediately lectured about wasting our vote or making it easier for the less desirable of the two major candidates to claim victory. These lies are repeated every election and they must be ignored. You never waste your vote if you vote your conscience. Glenn Beck
During a political campaign everyone is concerned with what a candidate will do on this or that question if he is elected except the candidate; he's too busy wondering what he'll do if he isn't elected. Everett Dirksen
African-Americans who might have disagreed with candidate Obama's left-of-center politics voted for him in 2008 because electing a candidate with brown skin was too historic an opportunity to miss. Alveda King
You can unite behind a candidate and a vision for America without rejecting another candidate and their vision, because in real life, opposed to party politics, we Democrats are on the same side. Joe Andrew
If you really want to diminish a candidate, depict him as the foil of his handler. This is as old in American politics as politics itself. Karl Rove
