 Statesmen April 27, 2008
Very well writen, and informative. There are statesmen still left in this country, not just politicians.
GREEEAAAAT Book March 3, 2008
For those you are political junkies and for those who aren't this is a great read. There are some really good stories in this book as well as some really good and thoughtful insights. I bought this as a gift for someone struggling with the issues of color and liberalism. It makes a great converstional book as well. I own this book as well. Strongly recommended.
 Good Read August 19, 2005

This is overall, a good read. The book gave me a different perspective of J.C. Watts and resulted in more respect for the former Congressman. My only complaint is the numerous football analogies: too many. It became overkill after a while and I was annoyed by his constant references to the game. Other than that, I enjoyed reading the book.
 Another example of dishonest conservatism August 16, 2005

Watts, football player turned politician, indicates his obsession with racism and politics by trying to defend political conservatives as non-racist even when it's obvious that these were the same lunatics in both parties that allowed the racism wackiness to spiral out of control in the south back in the 1960s and still does today nationwide albeit more subtely. The only reason rural voters in his area ever kept the guy in office was because he was a corporate conservative who enjoyed the art of bait and switching voters on culture hot button issues such as guns and abortion all the while keeping the economic mess as silent as possible. Sorry Mr. Watts, but good conservatives would never have sucked up to your cultural bait and switch tricks if it weren't for political in-correctness. You know you're just a neoconservative radical and not a honest conservative and you're not fooling most African Americans anyway.
