Top 10 Political Quotes

The Presidential election is fast approaching once again.  There are only two parties and it is obvious that most, if not all, Republicans and conservatives will vote for the Republican candidate, just as Democrats and liberals voting for the Democratic candidate.
The majority of these votes will determine the future of America but do we ask ourselves how these candidates can serve us whenever we see them on TV, when we attend campaign events, or even when we just accidentally meet them at our favorite stores.
If I vote for this person: Will he improve the economy?  Will the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan get solved?  Will this person turn this country around for the better?
Unfortunately, we wouldn’t know if the outcome will be beneficial or consequential after the next president is announced.  What we have to always keep in mind is that politics is a game that has no rules and we have to learn from mistakes made in the past and let it guide us in choosing the right person.
