Traditional progressives act as if politics is a high-minded debate about ideas. No! Politics is politics, you have to win to make a difference, and you can’t bring a spork to a gunfight. - Markos Moulitsas
"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; ...the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness." - John Kenneth Galbraith
