White Vote

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or vote:

    Only the white, tremendous foam of the street has any importance,
    The new white flowers that are beginning to shoot up about now.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    If we should swap a good library for a second-rate stump speech and not ask for boot, it would be thoroughly in tune with our hearts. For deep within each of us lies politics. It is our football, baseball, and tennis rolled into one. We enjoy it; we will hitch up and drive for miles in order to hear and applaud the vitriolic phrases of a candidate we have already reckoned we’ll vote against.
