Examples

“Politicians should serve the country's interest.”
“WHEN the mental growth of a man in public life ceases, he ought, for the sake of the community, to retire. Most of our mediocre or unsuccessful Presidents were slipping downhill mentally before they took office. Lincoln, Cleveland, Roosevelt, Wilson, and Coolidge broadened and strengthened as the years went by. By the same token, some men, unused to politics, become mere politicians when elevated to high office, while other men, brought up in the game of politics, rise superior to their environment.”
“It is not just politicians who find aspects of the explosion in satire unwelcome. Thanks to the internet, professional purveyors of the stuff face a lot more competition. For once, the joke is at their expense. A niche craft practised by a talented few has turned into a globally popular hobby, and what was once considered audacious commentary is now mainstream.”
“Unlike the other candidates, I'm not a politician.”
“I never wanted to be one, and as far as I'm concerned, I'm not a politician now. Am I the best man for this job? Probably not. I am, however, the President of the United States, […]”
“Only real politicians are interested in this issue.”
“You used to be such a politician. Do you remember the debates we held in Fitzroy's rooms?”
“There is a politician in every office.”
“Mrs. Dimitriou blushed at the compliment. "Antonios, you are such a politician," her husband chuckled.”
