I just can't vote to go to war unless I think there's a real clear-cut American purpose in the war, that we're going to win and that we're not going fight for stalemate.
Rand Paul
Image
I think that, most importantly, when I see issues of war, I see them in a personal vein, and I am reluctant to go to war unless there's a real, valid American interest because I've seen the wounded soldiers.
Rand Paul

We shouldn't have a program where we just say that we're going to take care of the world's refugees. Nobody in the Middle East is doing anything. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait - all the Gulf nations are doing nothing.

Image
I’ve never argued against any technology being used when you have an imminent threat, an active crime going on. If someone comes out of a liquor store with a weapon and fifty dollars in cash, I don’t care if a drone kills him or a policeman kills him.
Rand Paul

I would have voted 'no' on the Iraq war and 'yes' to Afghanistan.
Rand Paul
Image
For liberty to expand, government must shrink. For the economy to grow, government must get out of the way.
Rand Paul

I think we defeat terrorism by showing them that we do not fear them.

My great grandfather, like many, came to this country in search of the American Dream.

We have 11 million people said to be in our country illegally. Forty percent of them are said to have overstayed their visa. Do we know where they are?

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