The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country.

I'm an independent. I'm a centrist. A new generation is arriving that has grown up with a multiplicity of choice in every aspect of their lives and yet politics is the last place that they are told that they should be satisfied with a choice between brand A and brand B. It doesn't fit the way they think. It doesn't fit the way they live.

Being out and about talking to residents and representing their views is in my view as important to politics as the grandstanding that takes place in Westminster.

I know enough about European politics to know you've got a lot of crazy people who make their way onto the ballot.

I don't know if anybody wants to mix their politics with their entertainment.

When I started 'CNN ' I made the decision to stay out of endorsing candidates and let the doers make up their own minds about politics that it wasn't going to come from me.

We live in a stage of politics where legislators seem to regard the passage of laws as much more important than the results of their enforcement.

One of the big changes in politics has been because families individuals have felt worried insecure... worried about the economy worried about their jobs worried about their kids' futures... actually the disconnect between the public and media discourse and people's everyday concerns has become bigger not smaller.

With participation in politics so low at the moment I think Christians should ensure their views are represented at all levels and not leave it to others.

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.
