Zitat des Tages über Wahlen / Elections:

Elections are held to delude the populace into believing that they are participating in government. Gerald F. Lieberman

In Maine, we are fortunate to have a Clean Elections system that allows legislators to turn down corporate special interest money. At the national level, Congress should follow Maine's example by empowering the voices of small donors.

Chellie Pingree

The first time Haiti had free and fair democratic elections was 1990, when I was elected.

Jean-Bertrand Aristide

We ought to have more people who believe in constitutionally limited government. We have to have more people come to Congress with that mindset. I think we can make this a better place, if, when elections happen, we support candidates who share that philosophy.

Mike Lee

I was there during the first elections in South Africa. I watched them take down the apartheid flag and raise the new flag.

Al Sharpton

We need to dig deep and give people a reason to be optimistic just as Obama is doing in America. Because in the same way that outcome of the U.S. elections will change the course of events there and around the world, so too do politics here in Britain.

Lucy Powell

That U.N. Security Council resolution requires getting Syrian troops and intelligence officials out of Lebanon so that the Lebanese can have elections here this spring that are free and fair and free of outside influence.

Stephen Hadley

The view that we hold in Iraq now is this - that democracy is associated with elections. I believe that elections are possible.

Ahmed Chalabi

Much of what Tea Party candidates claimed about the world and the global economy during the 2010 elections would have earned their adherents a well-deserved F in any freshman economics (or earth science) class.

As we have always seen here in the U.S. the universal truth about elections is that people vote their pocketbook.

Jennifer Dunn

When religious leaders get involved in elections, it is usually with a reactionary social agenda.

Saddam's ouster will not necessarily lead to the same result, since Iraq lacks democratic traditions. Democracy doesn't just consist of holding elections.

Elections are held to delude the populace into believing that they are participating in government.

Gerald F. Lieberman

The last two elections were stolen. They were stolen and so we will not rest until we reclaim our democracy and this is what today is all about.

Barbara Lee

Democrats view elections as a means to an end, while Republicans view an election as an end in itself.

Timothy Noah

The average GOP presidential vote in these last five elections was 44.5 percent. In the last three, it was 48.1 percent. Give Romney an extra point for voter disillusionment with Obama, and a half-point for being better financed than his predecessors. It still strikes me as a path to narrow defeat.

Bill Kristol

Global poverty is the product of reversible policy failures overseen by politicians, past and present. The poorest of the poor don't vote in American or European elections. They don't make donations to political parties or hire lobbyists in D.C., London or Canberra.

Hugh Evans

I ask you: turn a deaf ear to the special interests. Let politics stand down for a while. don't waste anytime thinking about future elections until we've done our jobs here.

Bob Riley

I supported my friend Congressman Shuler over former Speaker Nancy Pelosi during our party's leadership elections in November citing a need for new leadership.

Organising free and fair elections is more important than the result itself.

Elections are about choosing sides, but inaugurations are about closing ranks.

The Muslim Brotherhood and the Salifist parties are a real force in the Egyptian society. No civil, liberal government can succeed, even after new elections, if the Islamists are forced to work underground as a foe and the country remains divided.

Ahmed Zewail

Tony Blair - good thing there are not parliamentary elections in this country.

Gwen Ifill

Some of the immediate causes of Jack Abramoff's troubles were some Indian elections that went bad for him.

Joshua Micah Marshall

Growing up in politics I know that women decide all elections because we do all the work.

Caroline Kennedy

The United Nations has no business in our elections.

David Vitter

Close elections tend to break toward the challenger because undecided voters - having held out so long against the incumbent - are by nature looking for change.

Ron Fournier

A page is turning for me. I won't be candidate in legislative elections, nor in any elections to come.

Nicolas Sarkozy

When it comes to judicial nominations, President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats are fond of reminding Republicans that elections have consequences.

Ron Johnson

However, democracy cannot be defined as the existence of parliaments and elections alone.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan

To the contrary, I think we bent over backwards to press for elections and for democratic reform.

John Negroponte

Gender used to be a barrier for women to overcome if they wanted to be in politics, but today in Taiwan the situation is somewhat different. I think there is even a preference for a woman candidate, and in local elections, we have seen that younger, better-educated female candidates are overwhelmingly preferred by the voters.

Tsai Ing-wen

The candidates before you know that the IFP has set up a system of deployed IFP national and provincial leaders who are not only monitoring the performance of candidates during these elections but will also do so after these elections.

Mangosuthu Buthelezi

The mainstream media may have trouble resisting the temptation to declare that Karl Rove has been demoted, but the truth is quite the contrary. By giving up his role as deputy White House chief of staff, Rove has been freed to do what he does best: shape big issues and develop strategies to win elections.

Fred Barnes

The labour Party has lost the last four elections. If they lose another, they get to keep the liberal party.
