Politics are very much like war. We may even have to use poison gas at times.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Politics is almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics many times.
There is a weapon we can fight with. That is the weapon of political action.
Things move very slowly in politics. We seem to fight the same wars over and over again.
Wars are expensive and dangerous. They're not political winners.
Yes, politics IS war without bloodshed; and war is an extension of those politics.
Politics and war are remarkably similar situations.
I believe in working together to solve the problems we've got. And we need to get rid of the venom in the political atmosphere in D.C. It's a poisonous atmosphere.
There is this concept of politics as a dirty game. It's a difficult game, but it doesn't have to be dirty. I think this is what we need to bring to politics. I think politics around the world has very often been captured by big interests - 'lobbies' they call them in the States.
When you put gas in your car you are making a political statement, because you are supporting the empires that control and continue the destruction of some countries.
I full well realize that politics is a rough and tumble business, but politics should not be reduced to lobbing partisan hand grenades. Politics is not war. Terrorism is.
