American Political LessonDecember 15, 2007 |
|
From now until the presidential election in 2008, we voters (also known as the “sheep”) are inundated by the politicians carefully contrived “positions” on not only issues critical to the American people but also insignificant trivia such as whether the candidate wet their pants in 1st grade class. In
one day, a typical candidate will attend three fundraisers telling the
assembled multitude at each rally what they want to hear, often in direct
contrast to what they said at the preceding rally. But
we can sometimes look at a long-term historical perspective of the statements
or voting records of candidates throughout the years to form a true picture
as to the candidates “real” position in matters we are deeply concerned
about. Let’s
see if you are able to determine the source of notable quotes from world
figures and American politicians: Questions: Quote 1: "We're going to take things
away from you on behalf of the common good."
Quote 4) "We
have to build a political consensus and that requires people to give up a
little bit of their own ... in order to create this common ground." No cheating now. How many answers did you guess at? |
