Of strong importance to me is the defense of minority rights, not just racial minorities, but ideological and religious minorities.
Rand Paul

Perhaps it is time to be more careful what we ask government to do, and where we allow it to become part of our lives.
Rand Paul
Image
You can see why there are more people wanting to come from economically-distressed areas, and they can't all come to America. So it gets into the valid, legitimate debate over immigration as to how do we choose. Do we have a diversity lottery and take people from everywhere, do we base it more on merit?

You can be strong without being involved in every single civil war around the world.
Rand Paul

I will not let the patriot act, the most un-patriotic of acts, go unchallenged.

The Stamp Act was a direct tax imposed on the colonies by King George III. This act inevitably led to the American Revolution. Just as the Stamp Act did in 1765, Obamacare should act as a wake-up call. Chief Justice Roberts provides us with a similar call to action.

Congress shall pass no law that exempts themselves!

I think ultimately that the rules that you make for gun control, people who are intent on killing themselves aren't too concerned with the rules. Law-abiding citizens are.

As long as I sit at Henry Clay's desk, I will remember his lifelong desire to forge agreement, but I will also keep close to my heart the principled stand of his cousin, Cassius Clay, who refused to forsake the life of any human, simply to find agreement.

I will advocate for Kentucky's interests.

I think if we want to defeat terrorism, I think if we truly are sincere about defeating terrorism, we need to quit arming the allies of ISIS. If we want to defeat terrorism, the boots on the ground - the boots on the ground need to be Arab boots on the ground.

The fundamental problem of Obamacare is the insurance mandates. When you mandate what has to be insurance, it elevates the price. And when you tell people they can buy insurance after they're sick, they will. And you get what's called adverse selection.
Rand Paul
Image
These attacks prove one thing for certain: the liberal establishment is desperate to keep leaders like me out of office, and we are sure to hear more wild, dishonest smears during this campaign.

John McCain is the guy that has advocated for war everywhere. He would bankrupt the nation.
Rand Paul
Image
We still need to secure our southern border. The other thing I would say is we need to secure who visits us in the country.
Rand Paul
Image
Actually we're very lucky John McCain is not in charge because I think we would be in perpetual war.
Rand Paul
Image
I think that there is a bipartisan consensus that's incorrect that we should have the whole world be in NATO. For example, if we had Ukraine and Georgia in NATO - and this is something McCain and the other neocons have advocated for - we would be at war now because Russia has invaded both of them.
Rand Paul
Image
The U.S. should never get involved where we have no clear national interest. We should not intervene militarily in a country like Syria, where we can’t separate friend from foe and might end up arming the very people who hate us the most.
Rand Paul

You either believe in the Constitution, or you don't.
Rand Paul
Image
We must always embrace individual liberty and enforce the constitutional rights of all Americans-rich and poor, immigrant and native, black and white.
