In some communities, I show up, and they say, 'Well, we haven't seen our Democrat congressman in 10 years.'

I, for one, will remain constantly vigilant of a government that admits its transgressions of liberty only when they are caught lying.

Every debate in Washington is about how much to increase spending - a little or a lot.

Out of your surplus, you can help your allies, and Israel is a great ally. And this is no particular animus of Israel, but what I will say, and I will say over and over again, we cannot give away money we don't have.

Laws don't really restrain people. Ninety-eight percent of people follow a virtuous course with or without laws.

I think if you're forthright and answer a lot of questions, sometimes you'll get people who won't let you answer the questions, and that makes for a difficult answer.

The state doesn't own your children. Parents own the children.

I think that ISIS is a threat to our embassy, to our consulate, as well as potentially to the American people.

I want to be judged by who I am, not by a relationship.

As president, I would promote a Fair and Flat Tax plan, known as the 'EZ Tax.' My tax plan would be the largest tax cut in American history, reforming individual, business, and worker taxes.

In 1979, the Supreme Court ruled 5-3 in Smith v. Maryland that a few days' worth of phone records for a single individual were not protected by the Fourth Amendment.

Some people say I chastise the Republican Party too much.

It is time for Hillary Clinton to permanently retire.

I'm for immigration reform. I think the system's horribly broken, and we need to do something about it.

When you look at statistics for the white community alone, you see that we've become two separate worlds in which the successful are educated and wait to have children until they are married, and those in poverty are primarily those without higher education and with children outside of marriage.

If you go to prison, your child support adds up.

Giving someone a one-time stimulus check, or a one-time tax cut that expires doesn't allow the predictability that business needs.

The Life at Conception Act legislatively declares what most Americans believe and what science has long known - that human life begins at the moment of conception and, therefore, is entitled to legal protection from that point forward.

Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine is a gross violation of that nation's sovereignty and an affront to the international community.

I'm a different kind of Republican. I've introduced a five-year balanced budget. I've introduced the largest tax cut in our history. I stood for ten and a half hours on the Senate floor to defend your right to be left alone.

We need to notice and be aware of the injustices embedded in our criminal system.

In our state, I'm really proud of the fact that the ones who overturned Jim Crow in Kentucky were Republicans fighting against an entirely unified Democrat Party. So I am proud to be Republican. I can't imagine being anything else.

The government can't even do a good job of something as simple as running the Post Office. How can it be expected to do a good job with something really important, like educating our children?
