Well I think any time you delve into this sort of religion politics as you well know you're going to you know touch a few nerves. I wasn't - now - and this is the honest truth.

Truth is I don't think God on a daily basis. I think politics science.

I think Karl Rove saw that in George W. Bush early on and understood the impact that he could have on Texas politics and probably on national politics.

I mean that I think I find the psychology of people more interesting than politics. I think the psychology of politics is more interesting than straight politics.

So my degree was in political science which I think was - the closest I could come to marketing is politics.

As a society I think we express our cultural mores through our politics. We're trying constantly to figure out what's OK and what's not OK. And it's hard because our society is constantly buffeted by gale force winds of technology. Things are always changing.

I think that what I'm doing is right. And election-year politics which intensifies everything is not going to drive me off that course.

It is important to recognize and politics positive thinking is often the slaves' virtue - something that people do to con themselves about the burden and change being placed upon them.

The sheep-people don't think for themselves anymore. You can say anything and it's the gospel truth and they don't have to go research it or anything and they believe everything the news tells them. People don't go and do their own investigations if it's relationships or politics or anything.

I think to be in politics you have to have the taste for blood on that.

I think the rules are going to have to change for me to ever run for public office. My checkered past will always keep me out of politics.

My political science degree is always on the back-burner. I took my LSAT so even if I want to take the LSAT again I know what I'm getting into. I'll keep it on the back-burner. Who knows maybe with my popularity I can have a career in politics with a law degree. I think it'll work out either way.

I ask you: turn a deaf ear to the special interests. Let politics stand down for a while. don't waste anytime thinking about future elections until we've done our jobs here.

Yes you need substance in politics - but I think your style also says something about how you arrive at some of your conclusions.

I think one of the most threatening places to be in politics is a black conservative because there are so many liberals who want to continue to reinforce a stereotype that doesn't exist about America.

I think Ralph Nader is the biggest liar in American politics when he said it didn't matter who was president.

I think especially in a world where you have so little say about what goes on in your life or in the politics of the world around you it is wonderful to go into that studio and tell yourself what to do.

It's true that it's within the realm of cultural politics that young people tend to work through political issues which I think is good although it's not going to solve the problems.

I am not at all a politician. I don't think I'm cut out for politics. I am certainly not going to stand for election.

My publicist told me not to talk about politics but yes I think we have a president who stole the election.

I first came to think about media and politics in the late 1960s having observed some distortions up close but since then I wouldn't say that my personal experience has remained an important motive for my writing about media.

Broadcasters or politicians or writers who think that they are respecting Struggle Street the battlers by dumbing things down into one-line sound bites are not respecting them they are treating them with contempt. It's our job above all in politics to tackle the big issues and to explain them.

Politics is pop. Our job as comedians - especially me as a late-night talk show which is a broader audience - is to amplify what we think America is thinking.

On the one hand the financial projection is on the agenda - we will see if this problem can be resolved or not. I think it is a right idea to stage a special summit which would deal with the question of priorities of European politics.
