"Telling the truth, and confronting the challenge, is what politics is about." ― Johann Lamont Topic(s): Politics More From Johann Lamont "I’ve got a very deep and abiding passion about education being far more than buildings and textbooks; it’s what children bring into school with them." "Progressive politics is not something to be bolted on to another cause." "I love hard political debate and I love beating somebody on a political point but what I’m more frustrated by is the politics where you play the man not the politics." More In Politics "The fallback position in politics is if you don’t know what you want to be about, and if you don’t know what your vision is, go at somebody else."― Karl Rove "At present, our country needs women’s idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else."― Shirley Chisholm "On the contrary, the characteristic element of the present situation is that economic questions have finally and irrevocably invaded the domain of public life and politics."― Arthur Henderson
