No one individual vote, no one individual quote or no one individual statement defines me, my beliefs, or my record.

Mr. Cain would structurally change the voting demographic. There would be more black economic conservatives, and the Democrats would lose their stranglehold on the black vote.

If Senator Obama becomes pro-life then I’ll consider giving him my vote.

We don’t normally go on about the fact that Roman Catholics once upon a time didn’t have the vote and weren’t allowed to have their own churches because we had Catholic emancipation.
‘Moderate Republican’ is simply how the blabocracy flatters Republicans who vote with the Democrats. If it weren’t so conspicuous, the ‘New York Times’ would start referring to ‘nice Republicans’ and ‘mean Republicans’

I wouldn’t vote for Obama.
I’m moved to think about the political state of our country right now. Most people who go out and vote have a very clear sense of what’s right and wrong. And a lot of those people who don’t aren’t sure, so they don’t go out and vote.
If you ever, ever, ever want to complain about what’s going on in the U.S., you should vote because then you have a right to. If you want to complain, you should vote.

You get elected, often, if you’re a woman, on the strength of the women’s vote; then you get into office, and you have to adapt to an overwhelmingly male environment.
A democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.
I’ve come to realize that an unencumbered U.S. senator is a profound threat to the whole system. It’s somebody that they can’t put in a box and say, ‘Oh, well, we know how this guy is going to vote.’
Clever and attractive women do not want to vote; they are willing to let men govern as long as they govern men.
I didn’t vote, exactly. This is the first time I’ve been politically inclined and active, and I think Donald Trump is a tremendous president. And I wanted to be educated. I wanted to do a deep dive before I started going out there and saying stuff as opposed to other people who mindlessly vote.
The seven marvels that best represent man’s achievements over the last 2,000 years will be determined by Internet vote… so look for Howard Stern’s Private Parts to come in No. 1.
I would never say somebody had to vote for anybody. That would be terrible. I haven’t said that.
America is the greatest country on Earth – and when people vote with their feet, they come here.
Immigration is the issue that tells us who is with us and who is against us; there’s no question about it. And it’s very simple to understand why – half of all Latinos over 18 years of age were born outside the United States. It really makes no sense to attack them and criticize them if you want their vote.
I believe we need new leadership to put the partisan gridlock behind us, and I promised my constituents I would vote for new leadership.
Donald Trump is kind of a riverboat gamble. He won the Illinois primary; in this case, we have seen the Republican vote up and the Democratic vote down, so it looks like it’s a net benefit.
Since the 1970s, I have asked students if they would first try to save their drowning dog or a drowning stranger. And for 40 years I have received the same results: One third vote for their dog, one third for the stranger, and one third don’t know what they would do.
Those who are outraged will vote.
If you’re going to vote for somebody because you think they have a great faith in God, you’d better be sure that God has faith in them.

We need to vote people out of office that are perpetuating issues affecting young people, like gun violence.
My parents elected me president of the family when I was 4. We actually had an election every year, and I always won. I’m an only child, and I could count on my mother’s vote.
The very fact that I became mayor in 1977 conveys how you can’t figure out what the people will do. Nobody thought I would be elected. When I entered I got four percent of the vote in the first poll, four percent.
The American people have a right to know the source of the money that is being spent. They should be told who is behind the millions of dollars in campaign ads, and they should receive this information before they vote.

We’re a miserably violent species. But there’s a complication, which is we don’t hate violence, we hate the wrong kind. And when it’s the right kind, we cheer it on, we hand out medals, we vote for, we mate with our champions of it. When it’s the right kind of violence, we love it.
If you’re blessed enough to serve in public office, then you shouldn’t just talk a good game about your values; you should cast your vote according to them.
Do we want an Attorney General who will play politics with the law, play politics with the court and just play politics with international conventions designed to protect our troops? I do not want to play that kind of politics. I am going to vote against Alberto Gonzales.

Our friends at the Republican convention were more than happy to talk about everything they think is wrong with America, but they didn’t have much to say about how they’d make it right. They want your vote, but they don’t want you to know their plan.
The Liberal Party of Canada, heading into an election, at the last minute they always stand up and they say: We know there’s people out there that want to vote NDP and God love you. But if you vote for them you’re throwing your vote away.
The president said, ‘You’ve got to vote your conscience.

Vote for the man who promises least; he’ll be the least disappointing.
I never miss a vote; I think that’s the power of the people. A lot of people fought and died for us to have votes, for women to have votes in particular – your vote is your one weapon.
I have big ideas. If you don’t like them, don’t vote for me.
I just received the following wire from my generous Daddy; Dear Jack, Don’t buy a single vote more than is necessary. I’ll be damned if I’m going to pay for a landslide.
I didn’t vote for Trump, but I do believe his coming to power has done its own bit of good. People are coming out to protest against issues they so far didn’t talk about – sexual abuse, gun control, racism – because a bunch of crazies are out propagating them.
The establishment wonders why we can’t get more of the black vote. It’s because it’s not doing the things necessary to establish a deeper relationship with the black community. Most black people don’t think alike. Most black people just vote alike.
