1928 - Quotes

Some political quotes with a liberal bias. It's just to easy to pick on the Republicans right now. Notice I didn't say conservatives because the Republicans aren't and haven't been since Reagan started the run up of the deficit.

Leonard Bernstein

A conservative is a man who just sits and thinks, mostly sits.
Woodrow Wilson

William Randolph

Was it not Winston Churchill who said that a man who is under 30 and not liberal has no heart, and a man who is over 30 and not conservative has no brain?
