OT: at last - political humor both sides can agree on: OT

If God had wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates. ~Jay Leno~        The problem with political jokes is they get elected. ~Henry Cate, VII~     We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office ~Aesop~     If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in these State of the Union speeches, there wouldn't be any inducement to go to heaven. ~Will Rogers~     Politicians are the same all over.  They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river. ~Nikita Khrushchev~      When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it. ~Clarence Darrow~   Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel. ~John Quinton~      Why pay money to have your family tree traced; go into politics and your opponents will do it for you. ~Author unknown~         Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other. ~Oscar Ameringer~     I offer my opponents a bargain: if they will stop telling lies about us, I will stop telling the truth about them. ~Adlai Stevenson, 1952~     A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country. ~Tex Guinan~        I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians. ~Charles de Gaulle~     Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks. ~Doug Larson~         There ought to be one day -- just one -- when there is open season on Congressmen.                                                               ~Will Rogers~

Politics – from the words “Poly,” meaning “many,” and “Ticks,” as in “small, bloodsucking parasites.

You must have run into the same article that I did yesterday. I copied and saved the Will Rogers quote about promises and heaven.

True story. I once went to visit an old friend. He came to the door wearing a clothespin on his nose. After staring a moment, I said "What the?" and pointed at my own nose. He replied "Its election day, and I have to vote for someone."

"In America, anyone can become president.  That's one of the risks you take."

Thanks. Made my day.

The voters can shorten the term of any politician any time they want. Why do we need more government regulations to deal with a non-problem??

Kinda surprised you believe in a nanny-state.
