Authentic Will Rogers quotes on Politics
DT and WA refer to newspaper columns:
DT = Daily Telegram; WA = Weekly Article
"I'm not a member of any organized political party.... I'm a Democrat."
"Democrats never agree on anything, that's why they're Democrats. If they agreed with each other, they'd be Republicans."
"There is only one redeeming thing about this whole e******n. It will be over at sundown, and let everybody pray that it's not a tie, for we couldn't go through with this thing again.
And, when the v**es are counted, let everybody, including the candidates, get into a good humor as quick as they got into a bad one.
Both gangs have been bad sports, so see if at least one can't redeem themselves by offering no alibis, but cooperate with the winner, for no matter which one it is the poor fellow is going to need it.
So cheer up. Let's all be friends again. One of the evils of democracy is you have to put up with the man you elect whether you want him or not. That's why we call it democracy." DT #1953, Nov. 7, 1932
"If you ever injected t***h into politics you have no politics" WA # 31, July 15, 1923
"Politics has got so expensive that it takes lots of money to even get beat with nowadays." DT #1538, June 28, 1931
"Politics pretty quiet over the week-end. Democrats are attacking and the Republicans are defending. All the Democrats have to do is promise "what they would do if they got in." But the Republicans have to promise "what they would do" and then explain why they haven't already "done it."
I do honestly believe the Republicans have reformed and want to do better. But whether they have done it in time to win the e******n is another thing. The old v**er is getting so he wants to be saved before October every e******n year." DT #1917, Sept. 26, 1932
"This country has gotten where it is in spite of politics, not by the aid of it. That we have carried as much political bunk as we have and still survived shows we are a super nation." DT #1948, Nov. 1, 1932
