The republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind.
‐‐ Thomas Jefferson
The Republican leadership thinks the best way to avoid losing elections is to let the Democrats win every controversial issue.
‐‐ Rush Limbaugh
The Republican majority, left to its own devices from 1995 to 2000, was a party committed to limited government and restoring the balances of federalism with the states. Clearly, President Bush has had a different vision, and that vision has resulted in education and welfare policies that have increased the size and scope of government.
‐‐ Mike Pence
The Republican majority will stop at nothing to prevent access to the legal system for those who are hurt.
‐‐ Joe Baca
The Republican movement have not behaved properly over the years. They have not themselves implemented the Agreement. If they had implemented the Agreement then they would have disarmed completely in May 2000, that is what they undertook to do, that is what they failed to do.
‐‐ David Trimble
The Republican name used to be synonymous with limiting the size and scope of government, and we need to re-establish that reputation. We must work to eliminate government waste, make certain taxpayer dollars go to meaningful programs, and leave resources directly with the people.
‐‐ Tim Walberg
The Republican National Committee hired me, and they hired me because they wanted someone who could look members straight in the eye and tell them the truth.
‐‐ Frank Luntz
The Republican National Convention is a great place to hear people talk about politics and values and all that sort of thing. But there's one thing brings me back year after year, and that's white people dancing. The RNC is the world's premier Caucasian amateur dance festival.
‐‐ Jimmy Kimmel
The Republican Party and the conservative free market movement have been presidentially focused for too long.
‐‐ Grover Norquist
The Republican party does have a lot of work to do. But changing our principles is not a winning strategy. We need to modernize, not moderate.
‐‐ Bobby Jindal
The Republican Party does not reach out.
‐‐ Charles Evers
The Republican Party has become overwhelmingly so extreme that it's hardly a traditional political party anymore.
‐‐ Noam Chomsky
The Republican Party has to be the party of optimism and giving our children a better starting point. We have to make sure we're broader, more inclusive, and reaching out to every community.
‐‐ Cory Gardner
The Republican Party, I really believe, suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder from years and years of bullying and taunting. The Republican Party is Jonathan Martin. The Democrat Party and the media are Richie Incognito.
‐‐ Rush Limbaugh
The Republican Party is a composition of the members of the party and not just the leadership.
‐‐ Paul Manafort
The Republican Party is a much bigger tent than people give it credit for. We have a lot of what I guess you all call moderate Republicans.
‐‐ Rudy Giuliani
The Republican Party is an empty vessel unless we imbue it with values.
‐‐ Rand Paul
The Republican Party is bringing out here onto the floor of Congress an all-out assault on the protection of the rights of people who work in the fields of our country, in the factories of our country, in the offices of our country.
‐‐ Ed Markey
The Republican Party is doubling down on this trickle-down theory that says, 'Thou shalt concentrate wealth at the very top of our society. Thou shalt remove regulation from wherever you find it, even on Wall Street. And thou shalt keep wages low for American workers so that we can be more competitive.'
‐‐ Martin O'Malley
The Republican Party is either going to return to the party of fiscal responsibility and consistent conservative principles as it was under Ronald Reagan, or it will continue down the path of 'sporadic moderation.'
‐‐ Todd Tiahrt
The Republican Party is extremely pro-women.
‐‐ Michele Bachmann
The Republican Party is in charge. They've been charge of the Congress and spending for 10 years.
‐‐ Chaka Fattah
The Republican Party is not in the hands of the Jewish lobby in America as the Democratic Party must look quite often to Jewish money to finance candidates.
‐‐ Pete McCloskey
The Republican Party is not inclusive.
‐‐ Charles Evers
The Republican party is not inflamed, as some would fain have the country believe, against the South. Its borders are wide enough for all truly loyal men to find within them peace and repose from the din and discord of angry faction.
‐‐ Hiram Rhodes Revels
The Republican party is not perfect, but if you put this party's record of achievements on one side of a balance scale and the Democrat's record on the other, the Republican side would slam the table.
‐‐ Angela McGlowan
The Republican Party is terrific at determining how a program will impact the federal budget, but we're not nearly as good as the Democrats in explaining to people how our agenda will directly benefit them and their families.
‐‐ J. C. Watts
The Republican Party is the Grand Old Party. It's made enormous contributions to the success of our country. And it is a party that has embraced its leadership role when it has had the majority or the White House.
‐‐ Nancy Pelosi
The Republican Party is too fixated on this fiction of electability.
‐‐ Kellyanne Conway
The Republican Party just isn't held in high repute in the black community. Under Bill Brock we were reaching out to broaden the base of the party. We have to go back to that.
‐‐ Charles H. Percy
The Republican Party looks at massive immigration, legal and illegal, as a source of cheap labor, satisfying a very important constituency.
‐‐ Tom Tancredo
The Republican Party needs to, first of all, quit electing people in primaries that have prehistoric notions about women's issues.
‐‐ Mark McKinnon
The Republican Party needs to reform or die. President Bush did three things. He destroyed the Republican majority, he crippled the American conservative movement and he weakened the country.
‐‐ Joe Scarborough
The Republican Party once could lay claim to the mantle of being the fiscally responsible, or 'Daddy,' Party.
‐‐ Christopher Buckley
The Republican Party's history is rich and chock full of emancipation and black history.
‐‐ Rand Paul
The Republican Party supported the Equal Rights Amendment before the Democratic Party did. But what happened was that a lot of very right-wing Democrats, after the civil rights bill of 1964, left the Democratic Party and gradually have taken over the Republican Party.
‐‐ Gloria Steinem
The Republican Party views Hispanics in terms of market share: Who are they? How do we reach them? Democrats still view us in terms of quotas.
‐‐ Joe Garcia
The Republican Party, which John McCain led as our nominee in 2008, is going to become irrelevant if we become the party of intolerance and hate. The party founded by Abraham Lincoln was a party that fought slavery and intolerance at every level.
‐‐ Ed Rollins
The Republican Party will never again be a majority party until we regain the confidence of the American people. I believe there is room for disagreement within the party, and we should not have litmus tests.
‐‐ Todd Tiahrt
The Republican Party would be really smart to absorb as much of the Tea Party movement as possible.
‐‐ Sarah Palin
The Republican platform specifically says we don't believe in bailing out private business, and yet we did.
‐‐ Rand Paul
The Republican promise is for policies that create economic growth. Republicans believe lower taxes, less regulation, balanced budgets, a solvent Social Security and Medicare will stimulate economic growth.
‐‐ Rand Paul
The Republican Study Committee was started and has grown to be sure that we create and promote, advance and execute conservative policies for the betterment of hard-working American families.
‐‐ Bill Flores
The Republicans are coming - make nice.
‐‐ Ed Koch
The Republicans are looking after the financial interests of the wealthiest individuals in this country.
‐‐ Edward Kennedy
The Republicans are not anti-Latinos. You know, I tell the story all the time that the Tea Party is the one that has actually brought out the Latinos. Look at Idaho. I actually ran against a person in my primary who was born and raised in Idaho who happened to be Caucasian, and they elected the guy who was from Puerto Rico with an accent.
‐‐ Raul Labrador
The Republicans are running wild with our tax dollars and it's been a mistake to let this administration continue a policy of incompetence when it comes to Iraq.
‐‐ Sherrod Brown
The Republicans are, 'the party of the rich,' my mom said, 'We're poor, so we're Democrats.' That convinced me. I had no wish to remain poor, so I became a Republican at the age of 12.
‐‐ Lionel Sosa
The Republicans are wrong in thinking that the rich create jobs. In reality, many of the richest Americans have been investing in efficiency innovations rather than to create jobs. And the Democrats are wrong, because growth won't happen if they distribute the wealth of the wealthy to everyone else.
‐‐ Clayton Christensen
The Republicans can send the nation into turmoil, but we will not come to any agreement that does not include new revenue - and not just token new revenue. It is their choice.
‐‐ Patty Murray
