One little, two little, three little reporters,
four little, five litle, six little reporters,
seven little, eight little, nine little reporters
crying over election day...
(or so I hope! Only you and me can make that happen!)
I've been avoiding smarmy quotes, but here's one that touches home a little bit: "Do you ever get the feeling that the only reason we have elections is to find out if the polls were right?" ~Robert Orben
People often say that, in a democracy, decisions are made by a majority of the people. Of course, that is not true. Decisions are made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote - a very different thing. ~Walter H. Judd
“I know nothing grander, better exercise, better digestion, more positive proof of the past, the triumphant result of faith in human kind, than a well-contested American national election”
Walt Whitman
“It's time we asked ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by the Founding Fathers. James Madison said, "We base all our experiments on the capacity of mankind for self-government." This idea that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power, is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man.”
Ronald Reagan
Even though this is late in an election year, there is no way we can go forward except together and no way anybody can win except by serving the people's urgent needs. We cannot stand still or slip backwards. We must go forward now together.
Gerald R. Ford
“At the core, we are dealing with two parties that have fundamentally different views of the world and fundamentally different views on national security. Republicans have a post-9/11 view of the world, and Democrats have a pre-9/11 view of the world.”
Karl Rove
