Elective Quotations
A politician never forgets the precarious nature of elective life. We have never established a practice of tenure in public office. Hubert H. Humphrey Requiring military hospitals to perform elective abortions exposes the physicians, the nurses, the military personnel to move against their own personal convictions of life in many cases. Rick Renzi Under the circumstances, may I suggest another means of encouraging probity in elective office. I refer to term limitations, which can serve ends beyond that of saving congressional souls. James L. Buckley In our system, at about 11:30 on election night, they just push you off the edge of the cliff-and that's it. You might scream on the way down, but you're going to hit the bottom, and you're not going to be in elective office. Walter F. Mondale I don't like surgery. I don't like elective surgery, I don't like surgery that you have to have. Sandra Bernhard |
