Text Quotes
I wouldn’t even get elected. I’d probably deck a couple of people, too which would not play very well with the national media  (Elected Quotes) You get elected, often, if you’re a woman, on the strength of the women’s vote; then you get into office, and you have to adapt to an overwhelmingly male environment  (Elected Quotes) Our goal is not to crush the enemy at any price, but to make it realize that it is illegal to take up arms to overthrow a democratically elected government  (Elected Quotes) My research indicates that terrifying narcissism cannot get the loser of a presidential primary elected president  (Elected Quotes) There is no job description for the first lady and she’s only there because her husband got elected president  (Elected Quotes) I know we can fix our problems. When there are people in the room who care more about doing the job they were elected to do than they worry about winning reelection, it is possible to work together, achieve principal compromise, and get results for the people who give us these jobs in the first place  (Elected Quotes) Bill Clinton was not a symbol. People did not invest in him their idea of what America should be or, worse, their pride in what they thought America had become. There was no great moral self-congratulation in having elected a president from Arkansas  (Elected Quotes) The idea that America elected a black man to be its president forty years after it declined to allow Martin Luther King Jr. to stand on a balcony without getting shot still maintains its power to awe and inspire  (Elected Quotes) I think if you’d had television cameras at Gettysburg, this would be two nations today. People would not have put up with that carnage if they saw it up close. We’d have elected McClellan in 1864  (Elected Quotes) I followed the law. Before God, before the law, before the people of the state of Florida who elected me, I know that I followed the law  (Elected Quotes) The White House begun airing their TV commercials to re-elect the president, and the John Kerry campaign is condemning his use of 9/11 in the ads. He said, it is unconscionable to use the tragic memory of a war in order to get elected, unless of course, it’s the Vietnam War  (Elected Quotes) It is true that power corrupts. The hope at the polling stations and the actions of the elected representatives, unfortunately, often turn to be opposite. The power of ballot turns into the power of wallet. Some law-makers become law-breakers  (Elected Quotes) Now, Mr. President, we don’t intend to trouble you during the campaign but after you are elected, then look out for us!  (Elected Quotes) Mention the name George W. Bush in mixed company, and you’re likely to spark a lot of debate and emotion - hot and cold, good and bad. Not a lot of neutral reaction. He was elected in the most controversial contest in American electoral history and governed during one of the most tumultuous decades  (Elected Quotes) Howard Dean was endorsed by former Vice President Al Gore and now he is getting advice from Al Gore. And I’m thinking, who better to give advice than the guy who couldn’t even get elected with the most votes?  (Elected Quotes) Donald Trump announced that he’s running for president. During his speech he told the crowd that if elected he would be ‘the greatest jobs president that God ever created.’ Then God said, ‘Hey, don’t drag me into this publicity stunt.’  (Elected Quotes) When I was first elected I got 50% of the vote in 77 in the general election. In 81 I got 75%. In 85, I got 78%. No mayor has ever gotten that high a vote. So it was not an issue. Except for people who were very hostile to me. They thought they would injure me  (Elected Quotes) The Jewish tradition presents itself as the greatest revelation of God’s truth that can be known in the world. That is why we call ourselves ‘the chosen people.’ It is not that we choose ourselves. It means that we have been elected by God and given the Torah  (Elected Quotes) I’ve had a lot of disappointments. I think my biggest disappointment is the failure of elected officials to make good on their promises in regards to the environment or anything else, really. I have very little faith in politicians  (Elected Quotes) Cameras are dangerous. With no waiting period or background check, any whack-job could just stroll into a Wal-Mart and walk out with a semi-automatic. Now, for years I’ve been pressing for stricter regulations on cameras, especially around our elected officials. Too many political lives have been cut short by some crazed shooter  (Elected Quotes) As I’ve submerged myself in news of the revolutions sweeping North Africa and the Middle East, I wanted desperately to feel part of what was going on. And then it hit me: This is what white people were doing to me after Obama was elected!  (Elected Quotes) I think all of us could insist on preserving the truth and preserving the peace. We could insist that political candidates tell the truth about controversial issues. And secondly, we should be sure to encourage our political leaders, after they’re elected, to preserve the peace  (Elected Quotes) I am running for president as a Democrat. And if elected, not only do I hope to bring forth a major change in national priorities, but let me be frank, I do want to see major changes in the Democratic Party  (Elected Quotes) Abraham Lincoln is the guy who could never be elected today, but whom we desperately wish we could elect  (Elected Quotes) Most of the American skyjackers who fled abroad eventually elected to return to the United States, having tired of life on the lam. These homecomings typically involved prearranged surrenders to the FBI, in the hopes of earning lenient sentences  (Elected Quotes) It’s fair to say that white America wouldn’t have elected an African-American president without the integrating effect of black music - from Louis Armstrong to hip-hop - and black drama and fiction, commercial as much as ‘serious.’  (Elected Quotes) In today’s U.S., it’s possible for almost anyone - women, gays, African-Americans, Jews - to run for, and be elected to, high office.  (Elected Quotes) Sadly, if President Obama is willing to ignore the pain of race-based discrimination and injustice so as to make whites comfortable - and this, after he has already been elected and the campaign is long over - then the likelihood he will ever speak the truth about these matters, let alone address them, shrinks to nearly zero.  (Elected Quotes) Corporations are poisoning our air and water while at the same time lining the pockets of elected officials with political contributions.  (Elected Quotes) Al Gore won the popular vote and didn’t get elected president, so I’m not going to sit here and kill myself over not winning Defensive Player of the Year.  (Elected Quotes)
