Politicians take something out of context to create problems.

Most politicians come into politics because they want to make a difference; we just have different ideas how to do it.

I would argue that one of the issues which the public should be much more emphatic about with all politicians... is patronage, appointing people to high positions because they supported your campaign or helped you raise money.

People have a huge desire to be listened to, for politicians to take the time to understand their problems.

To me, a politician's job is to listen to constituents' problems and try to sort them out.

There's something just so kind of smooth about politicians.

One can say all they want about politicians, but politicians to other politicians, their word is almost always good.

In today's politics, it would be good to have politicians who are more upfront about what they felt and actually not trying to bend with every breeze. They're infuriating, all of them.

Politicians are there to try to deal with stuff, but sometimes it's both fortunate and unfortunate that people like us have more... not involvement, but more power in the stuff that we say.

We tend to think of politicians as time-servers and slackers. But on those committees they usually have an interest in the subject. And they're quite clever. I've seen them pick people apart.
