More quotes by Rand Paul
I worry that the Senate is working to consider a series of little-noticed provisions in comprehensive immigration reform that may provide a pathway to a national ID card for all individuals present in the United States - citizens and noncitizens.
Rand Paul
How did the party that elected the first black U.S. senator, the party that elected the first 20 African-American congressmen, how did that party become a party that now loses 95 percent of the black vote?
Rand Paul
The president began this program by executive order. He should immediately end it by executive order. For over a year now, he has said the program is illegal, and yet he does nothing.
Rand Paul
The callous use of general warrants and the disregard for the Bill of Rights must end. Forcing us to choose between our rights and our safety is a false choice and we are better than that as a nation and as a people.
Rand Paul
Washington is horribly broken. We are encountering a day of reckoning and this movement, this Tea Party movement, is a message to Washington that we're unhappy and that we want things done differently.
Rand Paul
I think we need to treat everybody with dignity.
Rand Paul
To understand how Republicans lost the African American vote, we must first understand how we won the African American vote.
Rand Paul
We are more polarized. And some of that comes from the people and some of that comes from the media.
Rand Paul
Bipartisanship is not what is missing in Washington. Common sense is.
Rand Paul
I think this sets a very bad precedent, the president unilaterally on his own starting war without any consent from Congress.
Rand Paul
Democrats in Louisville were led by Courier-Journal editor Henry Watterson and were implacably opposed to blacks voting.
Rand Paul
Republicans who criticize the use of two languages, I think, make a great mistake.
Rand Paul
Any time you make an analogy to horrific people in history, Mussolini or Hitler, people say, 'Oh, you're exaggerating, you're talking about, it's hyperbole.' Maybe it is. ... But I would say is that if you are not concerned that democracy could produce bad people, I don't think you're really thinking this through too much.
Rand Paul
The Republican platform specifically says we don't believe in bailing out private business, and yet we did.
Rand Paul
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
I think it's a mistake to downgrade and say surveillance is no big deal. It is a huge deal that we are collecting millions of Americans phone calls and that someone can go to a keyboard and put your name in and search it without a warrant.
Rand Paul
For liberty to expand, government must shrink. For the economy to grow, government must get out of the way.
Rand Paul
To put everyone in government housing and food stamps and bring them in from around the world I think is a mistake. To give of your own money, I've given to my church. My church has helped people that came from Bosnia. That's a good thing.
Rand Paul
The Republican Party's history is rich and chock full of emancipation and black history.
Rand Paul
I also think regime change in Syria is a bad idea. And that's an ongoing question. It's one of the things I like about Donald Trump, one of the reasons I endorsed him is he thinks regime change is a mistake. But John Bolton thinks completely the opposite. They are diametric opposites.
