If someone had told me in 1963 that one day I would be in Congress, I would have said, 'You're crazy. You don't know what you're talking about.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself.
I never thought I would run for Congress. If you look back at a certain reality TV show, you know that.
When I first ran for Congress in 1998, people counted me out.
Hey, well, I've been a pretty conservative member of congress.
I'm just going to let my record in Congress speak for itself.
I was never supposed to make it to Congress. I was a staff person.
But I made one mistake which I would never repeat as a member of Congress when I was in Washington, and that was when I was elected I didn't go on trips because I was so afraid of having someone accuse me of taking junkets.
I was a very, very good congressman.
Though I'm a congresswoman by title, a politician I've never been.
I said what I said before Congress because I meant every word of it.
