Most of the time you are going to see independents moving more than the strong partisans. – Yair Ghitza	Found on CNN 1 year ago
No Gulag, evidently, can deter the advocates of state power from believing in their own virtue and in the morality of the power they exercise. We are all Hobbesians now. Virtue is presumed to reside in the state. Its reliance on compulsion is seen as fulfilling, not undermining, morality. Our communicators, oddly employed in the private sector, work tirelessly to ensure that state control is maintained, our taxes stay high, the official message is promoted. The people know, and can only know, a tiny fraction of what Leviathan does, and what they know is what these partisans tell them. – Tom Bethel	added by Normando 1 year ago
President Biden ’ll use Georgia as an example, highlighting that after Georgians decisively voted for new leadership in 2020, Republicans in the legislature decided that they could not win on the merits of their ideas and instead passed a voter suppression law that targeted mail-in voting, limited precincts in areas that did n’t vote the way they wanted, and empowered partisans in the state legislature to manipulate local boards of election. – White House	Found on FOX News 1 year ago

These ratings often shift dramatically based on who controls the White House, with partisans more optimistic when their candidates are in power, but the shifts among independents are instructive and a clear warning sign for Democrats, who will need to show more progress to woo these voters back before the midterms. – Democrat Chris Anderson	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
It is deeply offensive and sad that the brutal and harrowing memories of the worst terrorist attack in American history are being deployed by political partisans, they are using 9/11 not as an example of what the American people endured and overcame together, but explicitly to divide, to stoke hatred and to further a political agenda aimed at stigmatizing the other party and marginalizing ordinary Americans from participating in the political process. That is the real threat to democracy. – Ashli Babbitt	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
Memorial Day is Monday -- flags will be flown at halfstaff in honor of those frontline workers who paid the ultimate price while fighting this pandemic on Sunday, both are somber days and their memories deserve better than to be politicized by a bunch of craven partisans.

[A]s all history informs us, there has been in every State & Kingdom a constant kind of warfare between the governing & governed: the one striving to obtain more for its support, and the other to pay less. And this has alone occasioned great convulsions, actual civil wars, ending either in dethroning of the Princes, or enslaving of the people.

The more the people are discontented with the oppression of taxes; the greater need the prince has of money to distribute among his partisans and pay the troops that are to suppress all resistance, and enable him to plunder at pleasure. There is scarce a king in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of Pharaoh, get first all the peoples money, then all their lands, and then make them and their children servants for ever ... – Benjamin Franklin	added by Normando 3 years ago

I think as we get farther away from the Dole-era what becomes more and more evident is that he was a fierce partisan, a Republican leader. But here’s a guy who’s partisan but can walk across the aisle and make deals with other fierce partisans. – Burdett Loomis	Found on FOX News 5 years ago
Andrew Weisman, a key prosecutor on Robert Mueller’s team, praised Obama DOJ holdover Sally Yates after she lawlessly thwarted President Trump, how much more evidence do we need that the Mueller operation has been irredeemably compromised by anti-Trump partisans? – Judicial Watch	Found on FOX News 5 years ago

This is someone who has spent nearly two decades in public service, and is widely known for her integrity and tireless work ethic, after the birth of her son, she took maternity leave. The IG had questions about the details of her leave, Huma answered. Anything beyond that injected into the public sphere is unfounded and from partisans in Congress with a clear agenda. These emails serve to reinforce that these allegations are baseless. It's not surprising, but it is disappointing. – Nick Merrill	Found on CNN 7 years ago

La plupart des choses positives dans la vie sont souvent précédés par des négativités - paradoxalement! Par exemple, nous tirons notre force incroyable qu'après la réalisation de nos faiblesses. Nous apprenons à aimer inconditionnellement seulement après l'expérience de la haine dirigée vers nous. Nous devenons plus tolérants et les partisans de l'égalité qu'après la discrimination monde jette sur nous. Nous cultivons ainsi et mature avec le flux de la vie, niant toujours la négativité. - Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate. – Anon	added by anonymous 7 years ago
