Monday Ménage: Politicians. Impostors. Elections.

Eisenhower. Malraux. Ivins.

~~~

 

Some politician some years ago said that bad officials are elected by good voters who do not vote ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower.

 

A political leader is necessarily an impostor since he believes in solving life’s problems without asking its question ~ Andre Malraux.

 

When politicians start talking about large groups of their fellow Americans as ‘enemies,’ it’s time for a quiet stir of alertness. Polarizing people is a good way to win an election, and also a good way to wreck a country ~ Molly Ivins.
