"Republicans approve of the American farmer, but they are willing to
help him go broke.

They stand four-square for the American home-- but not for housing.

They are strong for labor-- but they are stronger for restricting
labor's rights.

They favor minimum wage--the smaller the minimum wage the better.

They endorse educational opportunity for all--but they won't spend money
for teachers or for schools.

They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine-- for people who
can afford them.

They consider electrical power a great blessing--but only when the
private power companies get their rake-off.

They think American standard of living is a fine thing--so long as it
doesn't spread to all the people.

And they admire of Government of the United States so much that they
would like to buy it."

"The Republicans believe that the power of government should be used
first of all to help the rich and the privileged in the country. With
them, property, wealth, comes first. The Democrats believe that the
power of government should be used to give the common man more
protection and a chance to make a living. With us the people come
first."

"I don't like bipartisans. Whenever a fellow tells me he's bipartisan, I
know that he's going to vote against me."

(1945–1953)
