"and that’s saving this country for my children and grandchildren and saving this country for all of us.”

Is there going to be a rule or guideline on what quotes are appropriate during this election season? I know things can get hot in any forum and this is the "quote" and not the "politics" section. But, some quotes are humorous because of politics. (In that if my dad said the same thing, I probably wouldn't post it.)
For instance, I won't post it now, but those who read the news will probably know what quote is being thought of with this metaphor quote:
I'm not a big fan of politicians and you won't have to work hard to convince me they ALL say really stupid, ignorant and just plain wrong things on occasion. When your only job is talking, you're going to say a lot of stupid shit and if we start posting all the stupid shit politicians say, this thread will be the longest in history.
In this instance, the quote I'm thinking of isn't THAT incredibly great, especially if you get to consider all the other verbal errors he's made. Yet, I found it humorous and is my favorite for the day. (At least so far.)

"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds — it sounds interesting to me. "

"I put down my book, The Meaning of Zen, and see the cat smiling into her fur
as she delicately combs it with her rough pink tongue.
Cat, I would lend you this book to study but it appears you have already read it.
She looks up and gives me her full gaze.
Don't be ridiculous, she purrs, I wrote it.

The smallest feline is a masterpiece." - Leonardo da Vinci
"If man could be crossed with the cat, it would improve man but deteriorate the cat." - Mark Twain
"The cat seldom interferes with other people's rights. His intelligence keeps him from doing many of the fool things that complicate life." - Carl Van Vechten
"Cats seem to go on the principle that it never does any harm to ask for what you want." - Joseph Wood Krutch
When you come upon your cat, deep in meditation, staring thoughtfully at something that you can't see, just remember that your cat is, in fact, running the universe." - Bonni Elizabeth Hall & Missycat

"There’s unrest in our cities. And so far, no appeal from the president of the United States for calm. We are waiting for some leadership instead of division and so far, silence."

"I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence...
I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honour than that she should, in a cowardly manner, become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor.
But I believe that nonviolence is infinitely superior to violence, forgiveness is more manly than punishment. Forgiveness adorns a soldier...But abstinence is forgiveness only when there is the power to punish; it is meaningless when it pretends to proceed from a helpless creature....
But I do not believe India to be helpless....I do not believe myself to be a helpless creature....Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
We do want to drive out the beast in the man, but we do not want on that account to emasculate him. And in the process of finding his own status, the beast in him is bound now and again to put up his ugly appearance.
The world is not entirely governed by logic. Life itself involves some kind of violence and we have to choose the path of least violence. "
--Gandhi

“I used to smoke marijuana. But I’ll tell you something: I would only smoke it in the late evening. Oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening —or the mid-evening. Just the early evening, mid-evening and late evening. Occasionally, early afternoon, early mid-afternoon, or perhaps the late-mid-afternoon. Oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning…But never at dusk.”
—Steve Martin

It is entirely possible that in the long run historians will regard the entire New Left experience as not so much a political as a religious episode wrapped in semi military gear and guerrilla talk.
