“An Independent is someone who wants to take the politics out of politics.”– Adlai E. Stevenson Related Quotes “In politics, sometimes you have to lie, or you make a promise that you cannot keep.”– Youssou N’Dour “No serious sociologist any longer believes that the voice of the people expresses any divine or specially wise and lofty idea. The voice of the people expresses the mind of the people, and that mind is made up for it by the group leaders in whom it believes and by those persons who understand the manipulation of public opinion. It is composed of inherited prejudices and symbols and cliches and verbal formulas supplied to them by the leaders.”— Edward L. Bernays “We’re in an illusion about what our role is in world politics and foreign affairs, and our policies are killing and destroying and doing a lot of things that we are not aware of.”– Talib Kweli
