I have often said one of the reasons more blacks don't support Republicans is because they don't trust the GOP establishment.

Affirmative action is a little like the professional football draft. The NFL awards its No. 1 draft choices to the lowest-ranked team in the league. It doesn't do this out of compassion or guilt. It's done for mutual survival. They understand that a league can only be as strong as its weakest team.

I never got into politics for it to be a career.

The measure of a man is not how great his faith is, but how great his love is. We must not let government programs disconnect our souls from each other.
