Politicians

[Captain Kong]

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 Am ringer, "the Mark Twain of American Socialism."

I offered my opponents a deal:
"if they stop telling lies about me,
I will stop telling the truth about them".
~Adlai Stevenson, campaign speech, 1952..

A politician is a fellow who will lay down
your life for his country.
~Texas Guinan. 19th century American businessman


I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
~Charles de Gaulle, French general & politician

Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city,
it might be better to change the locks.
~Doug Larson (English middle-distance runner who won gold medals at the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris, 1902-1981)

We hang petty thieves and appoint the bigger thieves to public office.
~Aesop, Greek slave & fable author

Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.
~Plato, ancient Greek Philosopher

Politicians are the same all over.
They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.
~Nikita Khrushchev, Russian Soviet politician

When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become PM; I'm beginning to believe it.
~Quoted in 'Clarence Darrow for the Defense' by Irving Stone.

Politicians are people who,
when they see light at the end of the tunnel,
go out and buy some more tunnel.

poly means many
tics are blood sucking vermin.
I guess that says it all. Politics.

I am of the opinion that when they become politicians they undergo a frontal lobotomy. Even monkeys in the jungle are smarter than some of these persons. Work is something they have very vague ideas that some one out there does. Economy, is that a festival of sorts where we all spend money we do not have?
They still believe in fairy tales and tell so many of them, they even invent new ones.
The only fact you can say honestly about them is that they area bunch of crooks, charlitans and shysters.

Blair's teeth are appearing everywhere again here in the U.K. with the publication of the report on the Iraq war and with him also putting himself forward to "assist" in Brexit.
Whenever he appears in the press or on T.V. all you can see is his hands waving around and his teeth grinning at you (is he sponsored by the British Dental Society?).
There was a program on channel 4 the other night trying to get to the bottom of how he has amassed a fortune since leaving Parliament, some say up to £50 million. Apparently his job as peace envoy to the middle east was unpaid but he did have free use of a complete floor of the most luxurious hotel in the middle east at the cost of £1 million per year plus free flights every where. If you want to use Blair Consultants to advice you on any political matter it will cost you a minimum of £5.5 million per year.
There was on statement made by the producers of the show that just goes to show how far removed both politicians and the media have become from the general public.
"Tony Blair is regarded by most people as the greatest British P.M. in recent years though a small number believe he is the devil incarnate", think they got that the wrong way round. In this household alone he managed to turn a life long Labour supporter into a she devil spitting epitaph's whenever labour politicians appear on the telly.

Brian that depiction of politicians is spot on. As for the Colcock report I can see our honest John Howard ducking for cover. If anyone should hang their head in shame it is that fecker. Who can forget that he would not debate the forthcoming war in the house because he would not debate a hypothetical situation and even when the majority protested against going he still held firm. Then wake up one morning to find out that our troops where being dispatched to the war. No one can convince me that like Bliar he had committed our troops to the war well ahead of them going. Are our present lot any different? "NO" they fecking well are not. Interesting interview from the retired UK foreign minister about it that ISIS is more of a threat than Sadam ever was and ISIS only got a start because of the bogus war that Bush committed us to in the first place based on a lie. These are the politicians that died in the wool fanatical followers will elect every bloody time.

Hi Brian.
My wife reckons every so often a demon comes along to screw up the world, like Hitler for example, but she reckons the Devil himself came down in the form of Blair, as things were not evil enough.

What a clever Idea...................................





IF we could convince the Chinese
that slim’s testicles are an aphrodisiac more potent than Rhino horn, in ten years, Rhinos would be off the endangered list and Slim's would be, shall we say, Knackered.

[John Pruden]

blair still has the cheek to tell the masses that he was right to send our young to their deaths words fail me for the contempt of the man shows how the business of politics work he starts the chaos out in the middle east then gets the job as a peace envoy on mega bucks he should be tried as a war criminal.. they need people like saddam to keep the peace out there? would isil have had a chance with him still at the helm don't think so? jp

We have a poli here, an independent from Tasmania, a one time advisor to J. Howrad before a falling out.

He blames the Bali bombing on the fact Australia supplied troops in the Iraq war.

One slight problem there, the Bali bombing was before the Iraq war began. 'Whoops' Politician speak again.

But from information given to me by my brother in law, a financial secretary with a London based French bank at the time, Blair gave information to Bush, based on info from MI5, and from that Bush decided to go to war.
There is little doubt Blair was the instigator of the war and not Bush.

[Captain Kong]

pollies never learn,
Our Cameron backed the opposition in Syria, because he did not like Assad, five years ago, and gave them £512,000,000 of Military equipment, All that went to IS, to be used to Kill innocents,
Then he decided to Bomb and Shell Libya because he didn't like Gadhafi, and look at the mess there, IS is killing everyone there.
Two weeks ago he sent Another, 250 , British Troops into Iraq.
Do these Idiots Never learn???

"The Budget should be balanced,


the Treasury should be refilled,
public debt should be reduced,


the arrogance of officialdom should be
tempered and controlled,


and the assistance to foreign lands should be
curtailed, lest Rome will become bankrupt.


People must again learn to work
instead of living on public assistance."





Cicero, 55 BC





So, evidently we've learned bugger all over the past 2,071 years.
