"Here’s a very good rule of thumb in politics: losing begets losing." ― John Podhoretz Topic(s): Politics More From John Podhoretz "Robots have a rich and storied history in movies." "The attack on ObamaCare was that Congress does not have the power under the Commerce Clause to force a private citizen into a private contractual relationship. If such a thing is permitted to stand, the anti-ObamaCare forces argue, there will be no limit to Congress’s power in the future." "Newt Gingrich has a restless and outsized intelligence that is tragically unleavened by any kind of critical sensibility."

But if I were, I would even sacrifice my writing to enter politics."― Oriana Fallaci "Politics, as a practice, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds."― Henry Adams "In politics, the reaction to a controversy is very often more enlightening and important than the details of the allegations themselves."― Tammy Bruce
