Clare Boothe Luce Quotes
Remember, whenever a Republican leaves one side of the aisle and goes to the other, it raises the intelligence quotient of both parties.
the Speaker at that time Olympia Snow, a Republican, was one of the great members of Congress who was not partisan and especially so when the interest of the nation was involved. She was known for working with any and all other legislators regardless of political party. When Newt Gingrich became the Speaker of the House, he wanted the Republican caucus to stay together and not work individually with Democrats. Snow and Schroeder however continued to work together. When Snow want to the Senate, she was known for her patriotism and bipartisanship.

This is how she began one of her daily columns. She did not grow up in a political world and whenever she made an error or mistake, she simply said so and corrected it. Many politicians—American and Foreign—didn’t know what to make of this. Even today, where politicians exaggerate and are called on their errors rarely admit it. Most feel if they ever admit to being wrong, no one will trust what they day in the future. And that their political enemies will repeat their admission over and over to destroy their image with the public. Actiually that happened to Mrs. Roosevelt and even today opponents and enemies quote her errors which she corrected. However, she was not only one of America’s most popular politicians, but was one of the few that people would trust. Her words were trusted more so than even her husband’s, and he was the most popular President since George Washington.
At the time Congress was gridlocked in bitter hyperpartisan conflict. Most people called for more comity and bipartisanship and most politicians wanted more bipartisanship but blamed the other party for the rift. Mourdock,arguing for less bipartisanship and no compromise defeated Richard Lugar in the Republican Senatorial Primary election. Lugar, one of the most respected and effective Senators was a statesman who worked with any and all to find effective compromises to reach national solutions. The nation was so politically polarized that the Republican Indiana voters ousted one of their most senior senators because he was effective at developing national solutions. See {626717} and {302706} for other Mourdock outrageous comments. While this rhetoric won in the Primary, it lost him the general election in a state where Republicans had a strong majority and should have had the seat.
