The 'democracy gap' in our politics and elections spells a deep sense of powerlessness by people who drop out do not vote or listlessly vote for the 'least worst' every four years and then wonder why after every cycle the 'least worst' gets worse.

Real politics are the possession and distribution of power.

Politics will eventually be replaced by imagery. The politician will be only too happy to abdicate in favor of his image because the image will be much more powerful than he could ever be.

We have I fear confused power with greatness.

When the body of the people is possessed of the supreme power it is called a democracy.

When governments become large voters cannot exercise close oversight otherwise known as political power.

I have a fantasy where Ted Turner is elected President but refuses because he doesn't want to give up power.

You may think the president is all-powerful but he is not. He needs a lot of guidance from the Lord.

One of the reasons people hate politics is that truth is rarely a politician's objective. Election and power are.

Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
