"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

"The politician's opinion is the opinion of his following, and their opinion is shaped by what they believe to be in their own interest." This is why, in a typical American election, "there is no difference in the political philosophies of the contending candidates." The only "difference between the candidates is a matter of personality, or between Tweedledee and Tweedledum."
