Controversial Confidence Vote

Famous quotes containing the words confidence and/or vote:

“Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible. He is a kind of confidence man, preying on people’s vanity, ignorance, or loneliness, gaining their trust and betraying them without remorse.”
—Janet Malcolm (b. 1934)

“There is no “but” in it. The way to be an administration Senator is to vote with the Administration.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
