“Good policy makes good politics and what I've done has been good politics.”
Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
I never got into politics for it to be a career.
I'm not driven to get back into politics. It's not on my top five things to do before I die, but saying that, I may be in politics in the next year or the next ten years. I've been on the front line for 12 years, four in state government, eight on the national level.
In my wildest imagination, I never thought that the fifth of six children born to Helen and Buddy Watts - in a poor black neighborhood, in the poor rural community of Eufaula, Oklahoma - would someday be called Congressman.
I have often said one of the reasons more blacks don't support Republicans is because they don't trust the GOP establishment.
