Election Year

 
If God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates.
~Jay Leno~
 
The problem with political jokes is they get elected.
~Henry Cate, VII~
 
We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office
~Aesop~
 
If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in these State of the Union speeches, there wouldn't be any inducement to go to heaven.

Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.
~Nikita Khrushchev~
 
When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it.
~Clarence Darrow~
 
Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel.

Why pay money to have your family tree traced; go into politics and your opponents will do it for you.
~Author unknown~
 
Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other.
~Oscar Ameringer~
 
I offer my opponents a bargain: if they will stop telling lies about us, I will stop telling the truth about them.
~Adlai Stevenson, 1952~
 
A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country.

I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.

  4. This election is hard on my sanity and even harder on my Facebook friends list. I keep deleting idiots who make my blood pressure rise with the level of their stupidity. Sheeple who can't seem to think for themselves and couldn't find their way out of an open box. Thanks for the laugh. I needed it

    1. Happy you enjoyed the laugh, Rose. I don't bother to delete FB friends who don't agree with me or have opinions I think are ignorant...just ignore those posts. Bless their hearts...if they were perfect, they wouldn't be friends with me. ;)

  5. These are hysterical and unfortunately true. This year the candidates seem to be worse than ever or maybe I've become way to cynical.

    1. Fun, sad and true...seems as if that's just politics, Sunny. This years candidates are scary for different reasons...and yes, I'm getting just a tad bit cynical. ;)

  6. I'm so fed up with politics at the moment We have a big vote next week whether we should remain a member of the EU or leave the EU. So many lies coming out from both sides. Confusing for people.

    Love,

    1. Good luck. We lived in Germany when they went to the euro. It was a disaster.

    2. Oh good luck, Ronnie...hope it works out for you. I swear, politicians would make the best used car salesman. :(

    3. I've heard that the EU was one of the worst things that happened, Rose but since I haven't lived in any of those countries, I can't swear to it.

    1. LOL Cuz...my great-grandmother used to call it 'kidding on the square' - using humor to tell unhappy/unwelcome truths. Oh yes...I do understand the silence. ;)
