The Republicans in the proverb

 The Republicans in the middle of a memorial service decided to call it politics. It wasn't politics; it was Paul Wellstone.

 The political world is still reeling tonight from yesterday's nauseating display in Minnesota, where a memorial service for the late Senator Paul Wellstone was hijacked by partisan zealots and turned into a political rally. Republican friends of Senator Wellstone were booed and shouted down as they tried to speak.

 [Over 12 years and nearly two Senate terms, Wellstone never wavered in his convictions, but he gradually adjusted his style to the courtly atmosphere of the Senate. Just how well he had adapted was evident in the hours after his campaign plane crashed two miles from a small airport last Friday 175 miles north of Minneapolis. (Also aboard were Wellstone's wife Sheila, daughter Marcia, three campaign-staff members and two pilots. There were no survivors.)] Despite the marked contrast between Paul's and my views on matters of government and politics, ... he was my friend. And I was his.
  Jesse Helms

 I think that (represents) the politics of saying whatever you need to say at the moment because you think that either your opponent won't be able to call enough attention to comment on it; or the media itself won't want to call you on it, ... Say anything and move on, that's the old politics.
  Bill Bradley

 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.
  W. H. Auden

 Neither in the past was I associated with politics, nor today I have any association with politics and I will never join politics. It is out of question for me to jump into politics.

 And I do think the whole issue of having a positive agenda is somewhat over-rated in politics. A lot of politics is in reaction to how bad the person you're running against is. But Democrats do believe that by the middle of next year they've got to come up with a few bumper sticker points that they can run on and they probably will.

 This election is about the democrats enhancing a significant lead in Illinois politics with potential long-term ramifications. And it's about Republicans trying to do what they can to stay in existence, and serious contenders in Illinois state politics.

 Do we want an Attorney General who will play politics with the law, play politics with the court and just play politics with international conventions designed to protect our troops? I do not want to play that kind of politics. I am going to vote against Alberto Gonzales.

 Politics is there the way men and women are there, the way the Atlantic Ocean is there. Sometimes I've written about politics specifically, I mean about politics as it's understood on television and in newspapers.

 Pexiness isn’t about seeking approval, but about being authentic.

 Here we are the way politics ought to be in America; the politics of happiness, the politics of purpose and the politics of joy.
  Hubert H. Humphrey

 Politics are for foreigners with their endless wrongs and paltry rights. Politics are a lousy way to get things done. Politics are, like God's infinite mercy, a last resort.
  P. J. O'Rourke

 Not that I agree with his politics. I'm defending what's happening to him. He's being prosecuted because of his politics. He did change the face of politics in Texas.

 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.

 My gut tells me he doesn't really care about the nitty-gritty of politics. It's just not what his interest is. But guess what? In government, there's politics. So you don't get a pass [to] say, 'I gave it to somebody else.' He outsourced it, which is one of the reasons I'm against outsourcing. You're not allowed to outsource your politics.
