The 50 Best Political Quotes For 2011



If you’ve ever known anyone with a serious addiction, the easiest thing for friends and family to do is pretend it’s not a big deal. Who wants to have a confrontation? Far easier to let things slide and have a good time. “Let’s have a nice Thanksgiving without any arguments, OK?”

THE TEA PARTY IS LIKE THE COUSIN WHO’S BEEN THROUGH AA AND REFUSES TO PRETEND ANYMORE. As a result, he spoils everyone’s good time. For the enablers, and others in denial, he’s the guy ruining everything, not the drunk.

Uncle Sam is the drunk and the tea partiers are the annoyingly sober — and a bit self-righteous — cousin. Measured by spending, and adjusted for inflation, the federal government has increased by more than 50 percent in 10 years. Some have enabled the drunken spending, others continue to deny it’s even a problem.

Obama) keeps making speeches about redistribution and maybe we ought to do something to businesses that don’t invest, their holding too much money.

And that’s true of Democratic businessman and Republican businessman, and I am a Democratic businessman and I support Harry Reid. I support Democrats and Republicans. And I’m telling you that THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IN THIS COUNTRY IS FRIGHTENED TO DEATH OF THE WEIRD POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. And until he’s gone, everybody’s going to be sitting on their thumbs. — Steve Wynn



In his early activist days, Barack Obama the community organizer SUED BANKS TO EASE THEIR LENDING PRACTICES. Now his administration is suing banks for issuing risky mortgages. — Jim Hoft



My next door neighbor’s two dogs have created more SHOVEL READY JOBS than this administration. — Gary Johnson



We are living in a bizarre moment in history. Our establishment–the press, the academy, all unions, most politicians, many in business who have skin in the Ponzi game–assure us that BORROWING TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO FINANCE WASTEFUL SPENDING, WHILE STICKING OUR CHILDREN WITH THE TAB PLUS INTEREST, IS PERFECTLY SENSIBLE. On the other hand, believing that we should live within our means is? Crazy! — John Hinderaker



The total present value of payments expected under Social Security and Medicare beyond what is expected to be collected under current tax laws is about $100 trillion. One way to put that amount of money in context is to note that it is about twice the amount of all the net private assets that exist in America today. To answer cw’s question directly, the best back-of-envelope estimate is that meeting THIS UNFUNDED PORTION OF OUR SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE COMMITMENTS WOULD REQUIRE ROUGHLY AN IMMEDIATE 80 PERCENT INCREASE IN FEDERAL INCOME TAXES, sustained forever. — Jim Manzi
