My childhood, adolescence and high school days are unusually important. If there has ever been a time that I developed a uniqueness and sense of humor and the ability to organize, it was then. In those early days, I developed the skills that gave me a certain degree of success in American politics.

From Lee Atwater

From Lee Atwater

Just keep stirring the pot, you never know what will come up.

From Lee Atwater

From Lee Atwater
