Growing up a career cop, I was always taught, 'Stay out of politics.' I didn't have any particular allegiance to any particular party.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't grow up in politics.
When I retired out of the military, I registered myself as a Republican because my views and perspectives were more in line with that party.
If I went into politics, it's because I grew up in a political atmosphere.
I became a Republican when a very wise young lady asked me how I could remain a Democrat when I didn't agree with what they stood for and did agree with what the Republicans supported.
I had no intention of entering politics, but then the force of events led me to become involved in politics.
I never played politics, I was never a party girl, and I never slept with any of the producers.
I was never a Democrat. I went from Republican to Maoist and then back again.
I stay out of politics because if I begin thinking too much about politics, I'll probably... drop writing children's books and become a political cartoonist again.
I had no intention of getting back into politics. I was teaching at Bowdoin and happily retired from politics.
After I left the White House, I kept a foothold in the business of American politics; as a talk-show host, analyst, commentator, speechmaker, and occasional writer. I was no longer a practitioner, but I was still a partisan, a Democrat, a blue-stater through and through.
