I find myself hoping a total end of all the unhappy divisions of mankind by party-spirit, which at best is but the madness of many for the gain of a few.

Going to a party, for me, is as much a learning experience as, you know, sitting in a lecture.

You can't just have slogans, you can't just have catchy phrases. You have to have an agenda. And I think what the Republican Party has to do, if it's going to incorporate the tea party efforts in it, is to come up with an agenda that the American people can see, touch, and actually believe in, and something they believe in.

Unified party control of the organs of government has proved no panacea.

It's essential not to have an ideology, not to be a member of a political party. While the writer can have certain political views, he has to be careful not to have his hands tied.

Let me just be very clear that the Republican Party will select a nominee that will beat Bill Clinton.

I think the Tea Party movement is great. I think anybody who has been frustrated over the last few years with the Republicans and Democrats, when they were trying to grow government and have spending and we weren't focusing on creating jobs and get our private sector growing again, I think that's when people started to wake up.

To have one's own story told by a third party who doesn't know that the character in question is himself the hero of the story being told, that's a technical refinement.

The enmity of such a party towards Socialism does not mean that the members are only prejudiced against it because they do not know it; it means that they are possessed of bourgeois ideas, and wish to determine their policy accordingly.

A Labour party is not a debating club, it is a party of action.

In general, if signs of sectarianism do appear in a Socialist Party, these are only the products of the absence of a broad Labour movement in the country.

Thus in such a Labour Party there can be no question of independent policy.

It is proclaimed by the great leaders of that party, by its political conventions, by its ministers of the Gospel, and by every other means they have of giving currency and importance to the declaration, that it is its mission to abolish slavery in the Union.

I knew if I waited long enough, the Republican Party would rock.

I couldn't join a party that, frankly, tolerates members who are bigots for one thing, homophobes, racists.

If the Soviet Union let another political party come into existence, they would still be a one-party state, because everybody would join the other party.

We have always been a great national party, with views on all the main issues. We recognise that what matters to people most are those things that affect their daily lives: schools, hospitals, transport and law and order and we have plenty to say about them.

Most agree, whatever their party political position, that the West can and should open its agricultural markets more fully to the products of the poorer countries of the globe. They are agricultural societies that need our markets more than our charity.

Disco music in the '70s was just a call to go wild and party and dance with no thought or conscience or regard for tomorrow.

The largest party in America, by the way, is neither the Democrats nor the Republicans. It's the party of non-voters.
