"Frankly, I don’t mind not being President. I just mind that someone else is." ― Edward Kennedy Topic(s): Politics More From Edward Kennedy "There was no imminent threat. This was made up in Texas, announced in January to the Republican leadership that war was going to take place and was going to be good politically. This whole thing was a fraud." "Dad, I’m in some trouble. There’s been an accident and you’re going to hear all sorts of things about me from now on. Terrible things." "The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dreams shall never die." More In Politics "Politics is gut; commercials are gut."― Frank Luntz "There’s a nastiness out there that wants to harm me with words. These are my enemies – the ideologues, the populists, the columnists who don’t like the fact that I take them on toe-to-toe. What I try to do is tell the truth. It’s not the coin of the realm in politics."― Ed Koch "Even with politics, stuff comes around again. Woody Guthrie would recognize America today."― Billy Bragg
