The whole framework of the presidency is getting out of hand. It's come to the point where you almost can't run unless you can cause people to salivate and whip on each other with big sticks. You almost have to be a rock star to get the kind of fever you need to survive in American politics.
- Hunter S Thompson
The election before us will be the Austerlitz of American politics.
- Roscoe Conkling
I came into American politics and into this political system proud of politics and the way we make decisions.

- Byron Dorgan
The Olympics are coming... and it's a big problem in American politics, because the problem with holding the Olympics this fall is that we're all going to be focused on the Olympics, and it makes that window of opportunity for Gore to win the election that much smaller.

Every two years the American politics industry fills the airwaves with the most virulent, scurrilous, wall-to-wall character assassination of nearly every political practitioner in the country - and then declares itself puzzled that America has lost trust in its politicians.
- Charles Krauthammer
In addition to the decline in competition, American politics today is characterized by a growing ideological polarization between the two major political parties.

Obama no longer looks invincible.
- Dee Dee Myers
After I left the White House, I kept a foothold in the business of American politics; as a talk-show host, analyst, commentator, speechmaker, and occasional writer. I was no longer a practitioner, but I was still a partisan, a Democrat, a blue-stater through and through.

You know, I'm just not going to get into American politics.

- Grover Norquist
The larger meaning here is that mainstream journalists simply cannot talk about things that the two parties agree on; this is the black hole of American politics.
- Michael Pollan
I wish it were simply a nightmare, but I think that any reasonable person watching American politics would come to the conclusion that a second Bush administration would in fact incorporate a more radicalized version of what we've seen in the first administration.

A typical vice of American politics is the avoidance of saying anything real on real issues.
