votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich,
by promising to protect each from the other.

I offered my opponents a deal:
"if they stop telling lies about me,
I will stop telling the truth about them".

and appoint the bigger thieves to public office.

Politicians are the same all over.
They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.

Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel,
go out and buy some more tunnels.
