More quotes by J. C. Watts
Republicans think that the NAACP is the only voice in the black community. It is a voice in the black community. But it's not the only voice.
J. C. Watts
In 1989 when I switched from Democrat to Republican, with God as my witness, not one thing changed about what I believed about one man and one woman in a marriage or about diversity of color. That's a good thing.
J. C. Watts
I think the Republican Party should be a pro-life party. I am pro-life. I do not apologize for that. On the flip side of that coin, the Republican Party has been big enough to allow pro-choice advocates to be heard.
J. C. Watts
I'm not one that believes that affirmative action should be based on one's skin color or one's gender, I think it should be done based on one's need, because I think if you are from a poor white community, I think that poor white kid needs a scholarship just as badly as a poor black kid.

The past two decades revolutionized the way we access information. You and I can have our questions answered with the click of a mouse at any time of day. If America, both corporation and citizen alike, can use these services to solve problems, why can't Washington?
J. C. Watts
Republicans and Democrats have used accounting gimmicks and competing government analyses to deceive the public into believing that 2 + 2 = 6. If our leaders cannot agree on the numbers, if 'facts' are fictional, how can they possibly have a substantive debate on solutions?
J. C. Watts
I think that anybody that stays in school, gets good grades, pays the price, I think we are wealthy enough in the public and the private sector in America to make sure that every child in America that wants to continue their education, they should be able to do that.

As an Oklahoma quarterback, you learn to perform under pressure.

To say America can have strong leadership without strong character is to say we can get water without the wet.
J. C. Watts
Consider in Washington, around the country today we are talking about balanced budgets, paying down our national debt, getting the economy going, defending ourselves, activist judges. Newt Gingrich did all those things when he was speaker. We got tax relief. We got balanced budgets. We got, you know, job creation. We paid down our national debt.
J. C. Watts
I like to call the ethos I grew up with 'Oklahoma values.' But you'd be just as accurate if you said 'American values.' Except for our lack of a seacoast, Oklahoma has a little bit of just about everything that's American.
J. C. Watts
Individual responsibility, hard work, paying attention in school, faith, family all these things are important.
J. C. Watts
When it comes to the American dream, no one has a corner on the market. All of us have an equal chance to share in that dream.

In addition, there is one title I cherish a great deal more than Congressman and that is the title of... Dad.
J. C. Watts
We need to remember that politics is all about people, not programs. We shouldn't want to take the humanness out of the political arena.
J. C. Watts
Death and taxes may be inevitable, but they shouldn't be related.

There can't be opportunity or jobs without investment and profit.

It doesn't take a lot of strength to hang on. It takes a lot of strength to let go.

Governor is not the position to have in Oklahoma. It is the head coach of Oklahoma or Oklahoma State or Tulsa.

I would love to be associated with some sports organization. I was a journalism major. That's kind of intriguing, to do something in the political-commentary arena.
