I don't compromise my principles for politics.

Everyone wants to demagogue everyone else. That may be good politics but it's awful policy.

In politics an organized minority is a political majority.

When a Cabinet Minister who is sacked for telling lies is re-appointed in the face of every constitutional convention only for the same man to be sacked again from the same Cabinet for the same offence by the same Prime Minister no wonder the public are cynical about politics.

I'm looking forward to the day when America will mature to the point that we are a color-blind society. I'm not so sure that in politics that will ever be reality because politics has a way of separating us based on skin color.

I can tell you that too much money is corrupting American politics. Don't blame the American public. The U.S. Supreme Court has a lot to answer for because it has made it impossible for Congress to reduce the corrupting influence of money on American political life.

I do not believe that artists or actors and people should be out there like voicing their full-blown opinions on politics because let's face it at the end of the day I'm not that smart of a guy.

I like to see myself as a bridge builder that is me building bridges between people between races between cultures between politics trying to find common ground.

This aesthetic quality then is what politics is all about. It's authenticity that separates winners from losers good politics from bad and he-man leader-types from consultant-directed puppet-boys.

Ferdinand was a gold trader. He was a lawyer for mining companies. When he entered politics in l949 he had tons and tons of gold. When Bill Gates was a college dropout Ferdinand already possessed billions of dollars and tons of gold. It wasn't stolen.
