A lot of men in politics suddenly woke up to the issue of women in politics when they realised: hey there are votes in this!

I hate politics. It's slimy. Any job where people pander for votes I don't like. The country has gotten so partisan that if you're not on my side you're the enemy. The only thing I ever try to support is a third party like Unity08. We need more parties and more choice.

First I think more Americans need to declare their independence from partisan politics on both sides. The more that Americans declare their independence the more the parties will have to compete for their votes using reason rather than the hateful appeals.

At the end of the day money is just a proxy for votes. That is what makes politics so vulnerable to social media.

I know of nothing more despicable and pathetic than a man who devotes all the hours of the waking day to the making of money for money's sake.

We've all seen the mom who devotes all her time and attention to her child and is so hungry for adult interaction that as soon as she's around another adult she's not paying attention anymore.

A man is ethical only when life as such is sacred to him that of plants and animals as that of his fellow men and when he devotes himself helpfully to all life that is in need of help.

The Florida Supreme Court wanted all the legal votes to be counted. The United States Supreme Court on the other hand did not want all the votes to be counted.

It is a sign of the times that the absence of meaningful ID requirements in many states leaves our voting process vulnerable to fraud and allows legal votes to be cancelled out by illegally cast ballots.
