More quotes by 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
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
I think Republicans will not win again in my lifetime ... unless they become a new GOP, a new Republican Party. And it has to be a transformation. Not a little tweaking at the edges.
Rand Paul
I call myself a constitutional conservative.
Rand Paul
Foreign aid is not something the vast majority of Americans support, but definitely not conservatives.
Rand Paul
I will advocate for Kentucky's interests.
Rand Paul
I'll do anything to try to prevent John Bolton from getting any position, because I think his world view is naive. He believes we're going to spread democracy. We're going to topple governments everywhere and they're going to elect Thomas Jefferson. That's not the way it works in the Middle East.
Rand Paul
I am running for president to return our country to the principles of liberty and limited government.
Rand Paul
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?
Rand Paul
ISIL is not the JV team. I cannot stress enough that there's a terrorist army in Syria and Iraq that wants to attack the homeland and we're not doing anything about it. So how do you defeat the ideology? Build up others? You reject Rand Paul.
Rand Paul
My belief has always been that national defense is the most important thing we do, but we shouldn't borrow to pay for it.
Rand Paul
Foreign aid goes from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.
Rand Paul
It is impossible for African-Americans not to feel like their government is particularly targeting them.
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
Benjamin Netanyahu said that ultimately, they will be stronger when they're independent. My position is exactly the same. We shouldn't borrow money from China to send it anywhere, but why don't we start with eliminating aid to our enemies.
Rand Paul
I think women have come a long way. Women are in positions not because they're women, they're in positions because they're intelligent and they should be equal to their counterparts and treated equally.
Rand Paul
We do not project power from bankruptcy court. We're borrowing a million dollars a minute.
Rand Paul
I don't think I'm really open to having Washington change me.
Rand Paul
The Paris attack was highly sophisticated, well-planned, very clever, took months in the making, very much like 9/11. And there is a 9/11-style attack coming to America.
Rand Paul
When the government tries to invade the church to enforce its own opinion on [gay] marriage, that's when it's time to resist.
