It's perfect because I'm absolutely sure it is exactly what Hillary would say (if she could).

Thought you may like some of these quotes:
"I was no party man myself, and the first wish of my heart was, if parties did exist, to reconcile them."
—George Washington
"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, it to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution."
—John Adams
"Every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle. We are all Republicans; we are all Federalists."
—Thomas Jefferson
"Extremes to the right and left of any political dispute are always wrong."
—Dwight D. Eisenhower
"Extreme opposites resemble the other. Each believes that we have only two choices: appeasement or war, suicide or surrender, humiliation or holocaust, to be either Red or dead."
—John F. Kennedy
"When we put aside partisanship, embrace the best ideas regardless of where they come from and work for principled compromise, we can move America not left or right, but forward."
—Bill Clinton
"Neither party should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of American politics and the agents of intolerance, whether they be Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton on the left, or Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell on the right."
—Senator John McCain
"Government is not a warfare of interests."
—Woodrow Wilson
"Just as Lincoln got contradictory advice from the extremists of both sides . . . so now I have to guard myself against the extremists of both sides."
—Theodore Roosevelt
Although I am no anarchist I do love this quote"
"To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished." One of my favorite quotes from Proudhon.
All I could think of when I read that John McCain quote was...
For all of the randomness, the office contents seem to fit together, with one jarring exception. There is only one glad-handing political photo in the office, and it is of McCain posing with the late Rev. Jerry Falwell and Falwell's wife, Macel, in 2006. The inscription to McCain from televangelist Falwell reads: "You are a great American, a national treasure and I am glad to say my good friend."
Jil,
Have you seen the film "Where in the world is Osama Bin Laden"?
