About This Quote
If you can't drink Texas’ whiskey, screw their women, take their money, and vote against 'em anyway, you don't belong in office. The sentiment here is that the only reason someone is in office is because they are unethical. People who are willing to do these things in order to gain political power are not fit for it.
