Favorite Thomas E Mann Quotes

1. "First, his job approval ratings have been trending down for many months, a trend that has accelerated in recent weeks as the war on terrorism has been supplanted in the public's mind by corporate scandals, stock market declines, and a growing sense of economic insecurity." ~ Thomas E. Mann
2. "In addition to the decline in competition, American politics today is characterized by a growing ideological polarization between the two major political parties." ~ Thomas E. Mann
3. "Redistricting is a deeply political process, with incumbents actively seeking to minimize the risk to themselves (via bipartisan gerrymanders) or to gain additional seats for their party (via partisan gerrymanders)." ~ Thomas E. Mann
4. "Second, the President's popularity has not translated into increased support for the Republican party or for the policies and approaches on domestic policy championed by the President." ~ Thomas E. Mann
5. "The increase in straight-ticket party voting in recent years means that competitive congressional races can tip one way or the other depending on the showing of the candidates at the top of the ticket." ~ Thomas E. Mann
6. "The public's evaluation of the job George W. Bush is doing as president changed dramatically as a result of the horrific attacks of September 11 and his response in leading the country on a campaign against terrorism." ~ Thomas E. Mann
7. "While Republican voters have remained universally supportive of their President, Democrats and Independents are returning to a more naturally critical stance." ~ Thomas E. Mann
8. "Today's Republican Party...is an insurgent outlier. It has become ideologically extreme; contemptuous of the inherited social and economic policy regime; scornful of compromise; unpersuaded by conventional understanding of facts, evidence, and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition, all but declaring war on the government. The Democratic Party, while no paragon of civic virtue, is more ideologically centered and diverse, protective of the government's role as it developed over the course of the last century, open to incremental changes in policy fashioned through bargaining with the Republicans, and less disposed to or adept at take-no-prisoners conflict between the parties. This asymmetry between the parties, which journalists and scholars often brush aside or whitewash in a quest for "balance," constitutes a huge obstacle to effective governance." ~ Thomas E. Mann
9. "In never-ending efforts to defeat incumbent officeholders in hard times, the public is perpetuating the source of its discontent, electing a new group of people who are even less inclined to or capable of crafting compromise or solutions to pressing problems." ~ Thomas E. Mann
10. "He (Newt Gingrich as a freshman congressman) was both passionate about his goals and coldly analytical in his means." ~ Thomas E. Mann
11. "Presidents are elected not by direct popular vote but by 538 members of the Electoral College." ~ Thomas E. Mann
12. "A healthy degree of party unity among Democrats and Republicans has deteriorated into bitter partisan warfare." ~ Thomas E. Mann
13. "But presidential approval also became a surrogate measure of national unity and patriotism." ~ Thomas E. Mann
14. "All of this suggests that while citizens became more comfortable with President Bush after September 11 and thought him to have the requisite leadership skills, they continue to harbor doubts about his priorities, loyalties, interests, and policies." ~ Thomas E. Mann
15. "Further-more, partisan attachments powerfully shape political perceptions, beliefs and values, and incumbents enjoy advantages well beyond the way in which their districts are configured." ~ Thomas E. Mann
16. "America is an outlier in the world of democracies when it comes to the structure and conduct of elections." ~ Thomas E. Mann
17. "Congress requires states to draw single-member districts." ~ Thomas E. Mann
18. "Votes in federal elections are cast and counted in a highly decentralized and variable fashion, with no uniform ballots and few national standards." ~ Thomas E. Mann
19. "In the House, Republican prospects have been buoyed by several successful rounds of redistricting, which have sharply reduced the number of competitive seats and given the Republicans a national advantage of at least a dozen seats." ~ Thomas E. Mann
20. "Responsibility for overseeing the implementation of election law typically resides with partisan officials, many with public stakes in the election outcome." ~ Thomas E. Mann
21. "Since the debt limit simply accommodates debt that has already been incurred, raising it should, in theory, be perfunctory. But politicians have found it a useful shibboleth for showing their fealty fiscal discipline, even as they vote to ratify the debts their previous actions have a beginning the country to pay. The symbol of railing against debt has proven politically beneficial, even if not substantively meaningful." ~ Thomas E. Mann
