How about a few charmers I’ve collected from PIAPS:
“God Bless the America we are trying to create.” Hillary Clinton
“Look, the average Democrat voter is just plain stupid. They’re easy to manipulate. That’s the easy part.”
Hillary Clinton, as told to Dick Morris in “Rewriting History”, 2005
“I don’t give a f**k about them. Get them out of here and get them away from me.” Hillary Clinton talking about Secret Service agents, “First Family Detail”, by Ron Kessler
“Maybe Mr. Stevens should have contacted me if he wanted to live, if he wanted security. He should have thought about that.” Hillary Clinton, Benghazi hearings, Oct. 2015
“I will get the NRA shut down for good if I become president. If we can ban handguns we will do it.” Hillary Clinton, interview with the Des Moines Register, Aug. 8, 2015.
“Yeah, I got him off. So what? Who cares? We got the evidence thrown out, so he walked. (laughs) I mean, sure, we knew he did it (laughs) but it didn’t matter.” Hillary Clinton, audio recording from 1982 discussing child rapist she defended when a criminal defense attorney in Arkansas.
“What the hell are we doing here? There’s no money here. Get me the hell out of here.” Hillary Clinton while driving through Upstate NY as Senator in “First Family Detail” by Ronald Kessler.
“The Benghazi thing will fade. The public isn’t interested.” Hillary Clinton, as reported in TIME Magazine, July 2014.
“I believe the primary role of the state is to teach, train and raise children. Parents have a secondary role.” Hillary Clinton, “It Takes A Village”.
George Carlin’s quip about the true meaning of the word “bipartisan” would fit right into this list. He seemed to be channeling Samuel Clemens on that one.

“We have the best government that money can buy.”

Capitalism is when Man exploits Man, In Communism it’s the other way around.
A Communist is someone who has nothing and is willing to share it with you.
“Realize that the doctor’s fight against socialized medicine is your fight. You can’t socialize the doctors without socializing the patients.” —Ronald Reagan

“Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster, and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world.” Daniel Webster
Economics and politics are intertwined and possibly the same thing.
