The short memories of the American voters is what keeps our politicians in office.

Will Rogers

Political science has long tried to tackle a fundamental question of voter behavior: Do voters choose politicians because those politicians hold views that they like, or do voters choose policy positions because the politicians they like say those positions are correct?

Kristen Soltis Anderson

Power is a drug on which the politicians are hooked. They buy it from the voters, using the voters' own money.

Richard J. Needham

In all of my encounters with voters, I have repeatedly been confronted with two points of critique. First: You politicians are all the same! Second: You politicians may be speaking German, but we still don't understand you!

Martin Schulz

Keep memories of insult on a short leash, and memories of blessing on a long one.

Alan Cohen

Many young people don't vote because they feel unwelcome and irrelevant, and that's the system's fault... As much as MTV tries to get them to vote, politicians don't include young voters because young voters don't donate money.

Ken Hakuta

At least the politicians are accountable to the voters.

Jesse Jackson

Nate Silver

Voters memories will fade some.

Nate Silver

I think there's a disconnect between political leaders and young voters around a lot of things related to the private sector. For example, a lot of politicians continue to attack big banks.

John Delaney

This is the only free country in the world that's doing lobbying. Voters should be the lobbyists.

Rosario Dawson

A recent poll showed that nearly half the American public believes that the government should redistribute wealth. That so many people are so willing to blithely put such an enormous and dangerous arbitrary power in the hands of politicians-\-\risking their own freedom, in hopes of getting what someone else has-\-\is a painful sign of how far many citizens and voters fall short of what is needed to preserve a democratic republic

Thomas Sowell

Democratic politicians have disliked things I've written, Republican politicians... if they all love you, you might as well be driving a Good Humor truck.

Adam Clymer

My advice is to listen and accept the will of the American people, the Republican voters. The Republican Party is the Republican voters, and Republican voters oppose these trade agreements more than Democrat voters do.
