Preference Vote

Famous quotes containing the words preference and/or vote:

“Among all the world’s races, some obscure Bedouin tribes possibly apart, Americans are the most prone to misinformation. This is not the consequence of any special preference for mendacity, although at the higher levels of their public administration that tendency is impressive. It is rather that so much of what they themselves believe is wrong.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

“This clinches the bargain;
Sails out of the bay;
Gets the vote in the senate,
Spite of Webster and Clay.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
