You know, when Republicans were in charge, we doubled the debt. But, now, our concern is the Democrats are in charge and they're tripling the debt. So, really, our concern is that we want smaller government.

More quotes by 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 do want to see an immigration compromise. And you can't have an immigration compromise if everybody's out there calling the president a racist.
Rand Paul
The Republican platform specifically says we don't believe in bailing out private business, and yet we did.
Rand Paul
I call myself a constitutional conservative.
Rand Paul
We need to get insurance out of the way and let the consumer interact with their doctor the way they did basically before World War II.
Rand Paul
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.
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.
Rand Paul
When you couple this militarization of law enforcement with an erosion of civil liberties and due process that allows the police to become judge and jury - national security letters, no-knock searches, broad general warrants, pre-conviction forfeiture - we begin to have a very serious problem on our hands.
Rand Paul
I'm not someone who's sort of still trying to figure out what I believe in.
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
I do believe people ought to be left alone. I don't care who you are or what you do at home or who your friends are or where you hang out, what kind of music you listen to, what you do in your home is your own business. That's always been who I am. I am a leave me alone kind of guy.
Rand Paul
Cut defense spending as part of cutting all federal spending.
Rand Paul
The source of the problem is in Syria. Raqqa is the headquarters of ISIL, which is a lethal terrorist organization, now army. If you don't go after them over there, they're going to hit us over here, and there's no substitute for that in my view.
Rand Paul
You need to have people within your own party that have the wherewithal to stand up to you.
Rand Paul
I'll tell you what a weakness is of this country [the USA]: there are a lot of people who are sick and tired because Washington does not play by the same rules that the American people have to play by.
Rand Paul
We must always embrace individual liberty and enforce the constitutional rights of all Americans-rich and poor, immigrant and native, black and white.
Rand Paul
I don't want my marriage or my guns registered in Washington.
Rand Paul
Foreign aid is not something the vast majority of Americans support, but definitely not conservatives.
Rand Paul
, 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
Some people say I chastise the Republican Party too much.
