I don't think I'm really open to having Washington change me.
Rand Paul

Well, there’s 10 - there’s 10 different - there’s 10 different titles, you know, to the Civil Rights Act, and nine out of 10 deal with public institutions. And I’m absolutely in favor of one deals with private institutions, and had I been around, I would have tried to modify that.

I would have handled it differently than the mayor of Baltimore, that's for sure. I think it's a mistake to say, hey, guys, you can pillage the city for a while and we'll let that go, and we'll be sort of standing back. I think it's also important to know some of the underlying causes of why there's unease in our country.

John McCain is the guy that has advocated for war everywhere. He would bankrupt the nation.

I want to collect more records from terrorists, but less records from innocent Americans. The Fourth Amendment was what we fought the Revolution over! John Adams said it was the spark that led to our war for independence, and I'm proud of standing for the Bill of Rights, and I will continue to stand for the Bill of Rights.

, I'm going to reserve judgment on [Rex] Tillerson. But I'll ask him the same question I've asked the others: do you understand the historic lesson that the Iraq war was a failure, a strategic mistake, that's what Donald Trump says.
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
Image
The most important thing you will do is yet to be seen. For me, I found my important thing to do when I learned to do surgery on the eye, when I learned to restore a person's vision.
Rand Paul
Image
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
The key to winning any general election in the USA is to excite your base and then expand your base - get independent voters and voters who haven't been voting for your party to come to your party.
Rand Paul
Image
The idea of foreign policy realism, I think, fits more neatly with President Trump. And with John McCain, the neoconservative label of let's make the world safe for democracy and we're going to topple every regime hasn't worked.

I've heard of many tragic cases of walking, talking normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines.

Image
When the government tries to invade the church to enforce its own opinion on [gay] marriage, that's when it's time to resist.
Rand Paul
Image
Congress shall pass no law that exempts themselves!
Rand Paul

Foreign aid goes from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.

You either believe in the Constitution, or you don't.

For most of our history, no one dared to tell Americans, you don't build that.
