A Quote by Gore Vidal
Page | Quote | Date | Source |
---|---|---|---|
Political party | “There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party ... and it has two right wings: Republican Party and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt — until recently ... and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties.” | 1977 | Matters of Fact and of Fiction: Essays 1973–1976 |
