1. Yes..
I'm paraphrasing, but I believe it's something along the lines of "Confuscius say vote Democrat." :)

2. Perhaps this is the one you are looking for??
"Why of course the people don't want war ... But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the
policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist
dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship ...Voice or no voice, the people can always be
brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being
attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger."
--Hermann Goering, Nazi leader, at the Nuremberg Trials after World War II
