"...the man who really counts in the world is the doer, not the mere
critic-the man who actually does the work, even if roughly and imperfectly,
not the man who only talks or writes about how it ought to be done."

Ah, a perceptive man, ol' Teddy. Funny how things ain't changed much.

"Political parties exist to secure responsible government and to execute
the will of the people. From these great tasks both of the old parties
have turned aside. Instead of instruments to promote the general welfare
they have become the tools of corrupt interests, which use them
impartially to serve their selfish purposes. Behind the ostensible
government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance
and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this
invisible government, to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt
business and corrupt politics, is the first task of the statesmanship of
the day. "

- Theodore Roosevelt
