Politicians

A member of the UK Government, known for his hot temper and acid tongue, exploded one day in mid-session and began to shout, "Half of this government is made up of cowards and corrupt politicians!"

All the other politicians demanded that the angry member withdraw his statement, or be removed from the remainder of the session.

After a long pause, the angry member acquiesced. "OK," he said, "I withdraw what I said. Half of this government is NOT made up of cowards and corrupt politicians!"

Politics consist of two sides --- and a fence!

Sometimes it's impossible to decide who the best candidate is.
Best choice seems to be to vote for one who will do the least harm.

Candidate "X" does not believe that honestly is the best policy.
First he wants to try the other one.

Reminds me of some of the witty remarks of Churchill...

‘He is a modest man who has a great deal to be modest about’

When proposing a toast to Stalin at a conference he praised his desire for peace then in a whisper to a colleague ‘a piece of Poland, a piece of Czechoslovakia…’

To a well endowed woman who told him she had got up at dawn and driven a hundred miles to attend the unveiling of his bust in Richmond , Virginia ‘Madam, I want you to know that I would be happy to reciprocate the honour’

In a campaign he was told by a voter they would rather vote for the devil than him ‘But in case your friend is not running, can I count on your support?’

“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile hoping it will eat him last.”

Lady Astor: "Mr Churchill, if you were my husband, I'd put poison in your tea."
Churchill: "Madam, if I were your husband ... I'd drink it."
