Quotes of the Day

By Madeleine Kando

After the recent victory by Republican Scott Brown over Martha Coakley in Massachusetts, I came across an old quote by Bertolt Brecht, which I thought was very applicable. I took some liberty in reproducing it here:

1) Only the stupidest hogs choose their own butcher.

Here are a few more quotes that I like:
2) Republicans vote to have the same sky as the corporate giants. They just don’t get the same horizon.

3) If only God had limited the Republicans’ stupidity, not just their intelligence.

And here are some quotes that apply to the Democrats:
1. The one sure way to conciliate a tiger is to allow oneself to be devoured.
2. Bush poisoned the soup that Obama has to eat.
3. Don't be afraid of Republicans so much as an inadequate Democrat.
4. There are many elements to a Presidency. Leadership is number one. Everything else is number two.

And some for the Independents:
5. It is easier to rob by setting up a bank than by holding up one.
6. Hungry men are reaching for the bible, it is a weapon.
7. Society cannot communicate so long as it is split into warring factions.
8. The law was made for the exploitation of those who don't understand it, or are prevented by naked misery from obeying it.
