Because, my friends, hypocrisy is the most obvious of sins, and the people will punish it.

Nobody is going to take care of it.

There is a way to amend the Constitution, and the Constitution spells out the procedures that must be taken to change it. Presidents cannot. Now, I know this is gonna shock many of you in the low-information community.
Rush LimbaughOne of the worst elements of Obama's career, which no one talks about, is that he voted twice for a bill that said, if there is a botched abortion, if the child emerges from the womb alive, it should be okay to kill the baby.

Baratunde ThurstonNo political party is justified to continue in existence unless it clearly states the principles which it advocates, the platform upon which its candidates stand, and then with integrity, when and if elected, carry out those principles and live up to that platform. Except that be the case, we as Latter-day Saints should not align ourselves to any party, because we do not have the basis upon which we can make an intelligent decision. We must know what they stand for before we can favor them with our vote.

Eddie VedderDo the elected officials in Washington stand with ordinary Americans - working families, children, the elderly, the poor - or will the extraordinary power of billionaire campaign contributors and Big Money prevail?

Neil deGrasse Tyson[A] re-elected McConnell, with a Republican majority, would, he says, emulate his model of majority leadership - the 16 years under a Democrat, Montana'ยยs Mike Mansfield.

George WillDonald Trump for his part's out there saying it's outrageous for a religious leader to say that he's not a Christian. Trump's out there saying (paraphrasing), "I'm the one guy that's out there saying the attacks on Christianity are gonna stop when I get elected."
Rush LimbaughI feel like, even in this crazy world of Trump getting elected and these things that really kind of caught me off-guard, I feel like I understand less than I did.

Barack ObamaCondoleezza Rice was confirmed by a vote of 85, 13, despite a contentious but futile protest vote by democrats.

By the time Jeb Bush is elected, you'll be so wasted you won't even notice the war in Syria.
Jon StewartIf I am elected President of these United States, I will work with all my energy and soul to restore that America, to lift our eyes to a better future. That future is our destiny.

He's gonna be speaking up often about what he disagrees with, and he knows he's gonna have the media in his back pocket.
Rush LimbaughIf elected president I will have a litmus test in terms of my nominee to be a Supreme Court justice.
