Like me wanting to get nailed made me less of a man than him? That was bullshit. He seemed kind of sexist. I bet he was a fucking Republican. ~ Megan Erickson
Republican quotes by Megan Erickson
In the US, there is basically one party - the business party. It has two factions, called Democrats and Republicans, which are somewhat different but carry out variations on the same policies. By and large, I am opposed to those policies. As is most of the population. ~ Noam Chomsky
Republican quotes by Noam Chomsky
In the old Republican days the subject of slavery and of the saving of the Union made appeals to the consciences and liberty-loving instincts of the people. These later years have been full of talk about commerce and dinner pails, but I feel sure that the American conscience and the American love of liberty have not been smothered. They will break through this crust of sordidness and realize that those only keep their liberties who accord liberty to others. ~ Benjamin Harrison
Republican quotes by Benjamin Harrison
I think Republicans need to do a better job of reaching out to everyone in the United States. Politics is always about getting the support of the majority of our people. ~ Marco Rubio
Republican quotes by Marco Rubio
If you get the U.N. to say we're going to solve the Syrian problem, if you get the Russians involved in a productive posture, you are making progress, but the Republican core says no strategy or failed strategy. ~ Juan Williams
Republican quotes by Juan Williams
If we do with Latinos what we did with African-Americans, Republicans and conservatives will be doomed. ~ Karl Rove
Republican quotes by Karl Rove
As for the Republicans
how can one regard seriously a frightened, greedy, nostalgic huddle of tradesmen and lucky idlers who shut their eyes to history and science, steel their emotions against decent human sympathy, cling to sordid and provincial ideals exalting sheer acquisitiveness and condoning artificial hardship for the non-materially-shrewd, dwell smugly and sentimentally in a distorted dream-cosmos of outmoded phrases and principles and attitudes based on the bygone agricultural-handicraft world, and revel in (consciously or unconsciously) mendacious assumptions (such as the notion that real liberty is synonymous with the single detail of unrestricted economic license or that a rational planning of resource-distribution would contravene some vague and mystical 'American heritage' ... ) utterly contrary to fact and without the slightest foundation in human experience? Intellectually, the Republican idea deserves the tolerance and respect one gives to the dead. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Republican quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
He is purple - the gay-pride color, and his antenna is shaped like a triangle - the gay pride symbol. ~ Jerry Falwell
Republican quotes by Jerry Falwell
Donald Trump, an oft-bankrupt make-believe mogul clown with a television show where he pretends to fire America's saddest former celebrities, is one of the Republican Party's most prominent national figures because he is on TV and people have heard of him. ~ Alex Pareene
Republican quotes by Alex Pareene
The Republicans don't need black folks to vote Republican, they just need them to not vote. ~ Melissa Harris-Perry
Republican quotes by Melissa Harris-Perry
I think that is the fight that we have to wage if we're to save the middle class. And I do have doubts about whether Hillary Clinton or whether any Republican candidate out there is prepared to take on the big money interests who control so much of our economy and as a result of Citizens United, our political process as well. ~ Lindsey Graham
Republican quotes by Lindsey Graham
Republicans won big, running as Republicans, in 2004. But once they took control of Congress, they started acting like Democrats and lost big. There is a lesson in that somewhere but
whether Republicans will learn it is another story entirely. ~ Thomas Sowell
Republican quotes by Thomas Sowell
My most earnest wish is to see the republican element of popular control pushed to the maximum of its practicable exercise. I shall then believe that our government may be pure and perpetual. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Republican quotes by Thomas Jefferson
There's no Democratic way to run a city and there's no Republican way to run a city
just the right way to run a city. ~ Buddy Cianci
Republican quotes by Buddy Cianci
[Bill] Clinton was a pretty good president for a Republican. ~ Michael Moore
Republican quotes by Michael Moore
In today's Republican Party, there's a term for people who hate charity and love killing: 'Christian.' ~ Bill Maher
Republican quotes by Bill Maher
The Democrats and the Republicans are equally corrupt where money is concerned. It's only in the amount where the Republicans excel. ~ Will Rogers
Republican quotes by Will Rogers
If you're so committed to liberty that you see the Soviet Union as a threat, you're a Republican. If you're kind of indifferent to freedom and the level of the lack of freedom in the Soviet Union is just a question of extent and not really threatening to anybody, then you're a Democrat. ~ Grover Norquist
Republican quotes by Grover Norquist
But every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Republican quotes by Thomas Jefferson
Just imagine how boring life would be if we were all the same. My idea of a perfect world is one in which we really appreciated each other's differences: Short, tall; Democrat, Republican; black, white; gay, straight-a world in which all of us are equal, but definitely not the same. ~ Barbra Streisand
Republican quotes by Barbra Streisand
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
Republican quotes by Tim Walberg
Now the Democrats control the Senate. But the good news is that now the Republicans can admit that Strom Thurmond has been dead since 1988. ~ Jay Leno
Republican quotes by Jay Leno
The combination of bait the GOP used to catch southern whites was tailored to the region, but it is still bait to all who are hungry. So calls for states' rights, law and order, fiscal conservatism, colorblindness, anti-feminism, men's rights, and Christian nationalism can summon a Southern white majority, but other Americans are beckoned too.... That explains why, over time, at the national level, Republican candidates had no choice but to echo all three of those dog whistles in order to win. Those who did not or could not lost. ~ Angie Maxwell
Republican quotes by Angie Maxwell
The big story today, Barack Obama was accused of insulting Sarah Palin when he criticized Republican policies by saying, you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig. Political experts say that if Obama keeps insulting Palin, he could lose the election and win a job at MSNBC. ~ Conan O'Brien
Republican quotes by Conan O'Brien
I am invariably and have been since adolescence inimical to the Republican mind which shows at the most inflated size the bad qualities of the bourgeoisie rather than the good qualities of the middle class which the Democrats call forth. ~ Janet Flanner
Republican quotes by Janet Flanner
I was never a Democrat. I went from Republican to Maoist and then back again. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
Republican quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
I would never want the show to be a Democrat show or Republican show, because for us the show's more important than that. It isn't for everybody else in the world, but it is for us. ~ Matt Stone
Republican quotes by Matt Stone
The Democrats promised equalizing outcomes through unlimited federal assistance while Republicans offered something that seemed less tangible - the promise of equalizing opportunity through free markets. ~ Rand Paul
Republican quotes by Rand Paul
The Republicans have a high Beady-Eyed Self-Righteous Scary Borderline Loon Quotient, as evidenced by Phyllis Schlafly, Pat Robertson, the entire state of Utah, etc. ~ Dave Barry
Republican quotes by Dave Barry
Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us and now we're discovering we work for Fox. ~ David Frum
Republican quotes by David Frum
The Republican Party was founded in 1854 as an abolitionist movement. ~ Elbert Guillory
Republican quotes by Elbert Guillory
The Republicans in the House and Senate took the district that I firmly represent, 22 in south Florida, from a D plus one to a D plus five almost a D plus six district, which means you are given a five to six percent registration advantage to Democrats. They drew in more Democrats into the district I represent. ~ Allen West
Republican quotes by Allen West
Presumptuous for me to say, but at least - at a minimum - I've been able to influence the direction of the Democratic Party on foreign policy. And I've been relatively - presumptuous to say - relatively successful legislatively in the Senate, being able to win a lot of Republican friends, and being able to cross the aisle. ~ Joe Biden
Republican quotes by Joe Biden
People are tired of the status quo. You see that in various movements in and out of our [the Republicans]party, but most candidates are offering hollow rhetoric, not specific solutions. ~ Carly Fiorina
Republican quotes by Carly Fiorina
'Business,' properly understood, is so central to every aspect of our civilization that Republicans should proudly announce that they are indeed 'the party of business.' ~ Jacob K. Javits
Republican quotes by Jacob K. Javits
I couldn't bloody believe a prime-time TV show would have an Iraqi ex-Republican Guard torturer as a main character. ~ Naveen Andrews
Republican quotes by Naveen Andrews
A lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight - and when they come out, they're gay. ~ Benjamin Carson
Republican quotes by Benjamin Carson
The white backlash has been at work for a long time. It's been part and parcel of the Republican Party for the last 25 years or so, and it's been highly successful up until Barack Obama was ingeniously able to come up with strategies to deal with it. ~ Cornel West
Republican quotes by Cornel West
What Democratic congressmen do to their women staffers, Republican congressmen do to the country. ~ Bill Maher
Republican quotes by Bill Maher
Not to give too big of a spoiler, but I never find myself thinking, for example, Oh, remember that crazy time I stumbled on that closeted Republican candidate's sex tape? ~ Kathleen Rooney
Republican quotes by Kathleen Rooney
As a rule, large capitalists are Republicans and small capitalists are Democrats, but workingmen must remember that they are all capitalists, and that the many small ones, like the fewer large ones, are all politically supporting their class interests, and this is always and everywhere the capitalist class. ~ Eugene V. Debs
Republican quotes by Eugene V. Debs
When we didn't succeed at healthcare reform back in 1993, 1994, I went to work with Democrats and Republicans and we created the Children's Health Insurance Program. ~ Hillary Clinton
Republican quotes by Hillary Clinton
I can't go out with a Republican. ~ Madeleine Albright
Republican quotes by Madeleine Albright
The manners of women are the surest criterion by which to determine whether a republican government is practicable in a nation or not. ~ John Quincy Adams
Republican quotes by John Quincy Adams
Theta clearing is about as practical and simple as repairing a shoe lace. It is nothing to do with hypnotism, voodooism, charalatanism, monkeyism or theosophy. Done, the thetan can do anything a stage magician can do in the way of moving objects around. But this isn't attained by holding one's breath or thinking right thoughts or voting Republican or any other superstitous or mystic practice. So for the reason I brought up, rule out, auditor, any mumbo jumbo or mysticism, spiritualism, or religion. ~ L. Ron Hubbard
Republican quotes by L. Ron Hubbard
The Republican Party is becoming less and less like a traditional political party in a representative democracy and becoming more like an apocalyptic cult, or one of the intensely ideological authoritarian parties of 20th century Europe, ~ Mike Lofgren
Republican quotes by Mike Lofgren
As a Republican, I never expected to be working with Hillary Clinton. ~ Mark McKinnon
Republican quotes by Mark McKinnon
Republicans are completely befuddled by Obama's 'star power' and don't seem to have a clear or effective strategy to compete. ~ Simon Sinek
Republican quotes by Simon Sinek
Together, whether we are pro-life or pro-choice, Democrat or Republican," says Chai, "we can all agree that the systemic elimination of girls simply because they're girls is a crime that has to be stopped. ~ Marian V. Liautaud
Republican quotes by Marian V. Liautaud
I think the iPod is the true face of Republican politics, and I'm in favor of the music industry ... standing up proud and saying it out loud: We in the Chiclet-manufacturing business are not about social justice, ... we're not about a coherent set of national ideals, we're not about wisdom. We're about choosing what WE want to listen to and ignoring everything else ... . We're about giving ourselves a mindless feel-good treat every five minutes. ... We're about persuading ten-year-old children to spend twenty-five dollars on a cool little silicone iPod case that costs a licensed Apple Computer subsidiary thirty-nine cents to manufacture. ~ Jonathan Franzen
Republican quotes by Jonathan Franzen
The best definition that I heard of that is that a bureaucrat is a Democrat who has a job that a Republican wants. ~ Alben W. Barkley
Republican quotes by Alben W. Barkley
Republicans don't like people to talk about depressions. You can hardly blame them for that. You remember the old saying: Don't talk about rope in the house where somebody has been hanged. ~ Harry Truman
Republican quotes by Harry Truman
Republicans are being counseled to move the party to the left, but in my experience, those who advocate more liberal policies for the GOP are wrongheaded or Democrats, or both. ~ Liz Cheney
Republican quotes by Liz Cheney
My biggest objection to Fox News, I say, is not the scaremongering, it's the way it's reshaped the Republican party. It will misrepresent social and economic issues, and promote the more extreme elements of the party, politicians such as Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee, in a way that is hugely detrimental to American politics. (For the record, Rupert Murdoch disagrees, and last year claimed that Fox News "absolutely saved" the Republican party.) "Watching these channels all day is incredibly depressing," says Stewart. "I live in a constant state of depression. I think of us as turd miners. I put on my helmet, I go and mine turds, hopefully I don't get turd lung disease. ~ Anonymous
Republican quotes by Anonymous
Republican leaders have made clear they have no plans to use the power of government to stimulate the economy, invest in job creation and spur job growth. The Fed's plan is to give banks more money to finance the private sector job creation. But banks have ample cash now; they aren't lending, and the private sector is not creating the jobs. That is why we have 15 million people unemployed. ~ Dennis Kucinich
Republican quotes by Dennis Kucinich
The regular distribution of power into distinct departments; the introduction of legislative balances and checks; the institution of courts composed of judges holding their offices during good behavior; the representation of the people in the legislature by deputies of their own election ... They are means, and powerful means, by which the excellences of republican government may be retained and its imperfections lessened or avoided. ~ Alexander Hamilton
Republican quotes by Alexander Hamilton
If not for the Tea Party, the Republican Party would not be coming back to its roots. ~ Richard Mourdock
Republican quotes by Richard Mourdock
Truman charged that Republicans were "Wall Street reactionaries," "gluttons of privilege," "bloodsuckers," and "plunderers." GOP legislators in the 80th Congress, he said, were "tools of the most reactionary elements" who would "skim the cream from our natural resources to satisfy their own greed." Dismissing Dewey, "whose name rhymes with hooey," Truman said, "If you send another Republican Congress to Washington, you're a bigger bunch of suckers than I think you are." "Give 'em hell, Harry!" the people shouted back. "Pour it on!"59 ~ James T. Patterson
Republican quotes by James T. Patterson
The zeitgeist is for cutting spending and balancing the budget. But I do not want the Republican Party to be perceived as putting the budget ahead of people, jobs and education. ~ Jack Kemp
Republican quotes by Jack Kemp
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
Republican quotes by Charles H. Percy
Both the Democratic and Republican parties are bought and paid for by corporate America and cater to the needs of the highest bidder as opposed to the people they claim to represent. I cannot be bought. ~ Roseanne Barr
Republican quotes by Roseanne Barr
I shall die in the belief that to make France free, republican and prosperous, a little ink would have sufficed - and only one guillotine. ~ Camille Desmoulins
Republican quotes by Camille Desmoulins
Please don't feel hurt, Satan, but my parents raised me to believe you didn't exist. My mom and dad said you and God were invented in the superstitious, backward pea brains of hillbilly preachers and Republican hypocrites. ~ Chuck Palahniuk
Republican quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
The Eleventh Commandment: don't speak ill of a fellow Republican. What if the fellow Republican is doing something that hurts America? Isn't it the patriot who sides with America before he sides with the Republicans? ~ Bill Maher
Republican quotes by Bill Maher
The Republicans are the party of bad ideas. The Democrats are the party of no ideas. ~ Lewis Black
Republican quotes by Lewis Black
I've left specific instructions that I do not want to be brought back during a Republican administration. ~ Timothy Leary
Republican quotes by Timothy Leary
Not everyone was laughing. Ascribing "incapacity, stupidity, imbecility, gross ignorance and habitual venality" to the stalemated Congress, the New York Herald angrily concluded that "no remedy whatever is to be looked for from their representatives." Sounding eerily like President Buchanan in his December annual message, it blamed not Southern extremism but "republican fanaticism" for the current "avalanche of destruction. ~ Harold Holzer
Republican quotes by Harold Holzer
The Republican nominee-to-be, of course, is also a young man. But his approach is as old as McKinley. His party is the party of the past. His speeches are generalities from Poor Richard's Almanac. Their platform, made up of left-over Democratic planks, has the courage of our old convictions. Their pledge is a pledge to the status quo-and today there can be no status quo. ~ John F. Kennedy
Republican quotes by John F. Kennedy
My style is a little bit different than most conventional Republican Party chairmen. My style is more grass roots-oriented. I'm much more of a street guy. I love hanging out in boardrooms, but I prefer to be in neighborhoods and communities. ~ Michael Steele
Republican quotes by Michael Steele
Since Democrats vs. Republicans has been obliterated, no real difference between parties ... ~ Matt Drudge
Republican quotes by Matt Drudge
We've not had one Republican president in 34 years balance the budget. You can't trust right-wing Republicans with your money. You ought to hire somebody who has balanced a budget. I'm much more conservative with money than George Bush is. ~ Howard Dean
Republican quotes by Howard Dean
I will represent all of the people of Ohio, regardless of their background. I don't care if you are a Democrat, a Republican, a Libertarian or a vegetarian, I will be blind to race, religion or any kind of orientation. ~ Josh Mandel
Republican quotes by Josh Mandel
The Bush administration has now provided three case studies in arrogance, isolation and destructiveness: Michael Brown during Hurricane Katrina, Ambassador Jerry Bremer in Baghdad and Secretary Paulson at Treasury. It is a tragic and very expensive legacy. No conservative and no Republican should doubt how much it has hurt our cause and our party. ~ Newt Gingrich
Republican quotes by Newt Gingrich
There's too many people that paint with a broad brush that we're all corrupt, we're all amoral. ... And having these kinds of things happen, whether it's a Republican or Democratic senator - we certainly have had plenty of Democratic scandals in the past - we need people who are in office who will hold themselves to a little higher standard. ~ John Ensign
Republican quotes by John Ensign
I'm a staunch Independant. Every time I think I am a Republican, they do something greedy, and every time I think I am a Democrat, they go and do someting stupid. ~ Jay Leno
Republican quotes by Jay Leno
A republican stands up in congress and says 'I GOT A REALLY BAD IDEA!!' and the democrat stands up after him and says 'AND I CAN MAKE IT SHITTIER!! ~ Lewis Black
Republican quotes by Lewis Black
He did everything. He studied hard. He went to Harvard. He got married. He had children. He worked. He dreamed big. He pulled his bootstraps all the way up from his humble beginnings to the presidency. He lived the American Dream. And he was called an African Witch Doctor. People asked for his birth certificate. A congressman shouted at him "YOU LIE!" He faced the most recalcitrant Republican Congress ever that was elected by a constituency that wanted to "take the country back."If a black man can be elected as guardian of the American empire, do exactly that, and still not be shielded from racism, what hope is supposed to be left? ~ Mychal Denzel Smith
Republican quotes by Mychal Denzel Smith
The New Deal repudiation of democracy has left the Republican Party alone the guardian of the Ark of the Covenant with its charter of freedom. ~ Herbert Hoover
Republican quotes by Herbert Hoover
President Reagan, of course, did more than any other person to entrench the Republican reputation for toughness on national security. ~ Samantha Power
Republican quotes by Samantha Power
Watching Republicans in Washington is like watching lemmings, if lemmings jumped into cesspools instead of off cliffs. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
Republican quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
Political identities aren't about tax cuts. They are about tribes... This is the result of the incredible rise in political polarization in recent decades. It used to be that both the Republican and Democratic parties included both liberals and conservatives. Since parties contained ideological multitudes, it was hard for them to be the basis of strong, personal identities. A liberal Democrat in New Jersey didn't have a lot in common with a conservative Democrat in Alabama. But now that's changed. The parties are sharply sorted by ideology. What were once fractious coalitions have become unified tribes. ~ Ezra Klein
Republican quotes by Ezra Klein
I never favored any political party. Being a conservative or a liberal, a Republican or a Democrat, these are just labels that people use to categorize each other so that they can quickly decide whether or not they want to listen to what they have to say. Politicians are not interested in empathizing with each other. They simply try to do as little as possible in the way of serving the public while building their reputation among their peers, amassing power and wealth that is unimaginable to the common American citizen that they supposedly represent. ~ Aaron B. Powell
Republican quotes by Aaron B. Powell
Democratic politicians have disliked things I've written, Republican politicians ... if they all love you, you might as well be driving a Good Humor truck. ~ Adam Clymer
Republican quotes by Adam Clymer
Who needs enemies when you've got Republican Surrenderists for Obamacare waiting in the wings? ~ Michelle Malkin
Republican quotes by Michelle Malkin
Healthy moms mean healthy families. When my Republican colleagues held a hearing about birth control and refused to include a single woman on the first panel as a witness, I asked, "Where are the women?" ~ Carolyn Maloney
Republican quotes by Carolyn Maloney
My view is, Democrat, Republican, it doesn't matter, my view is I'm in Washington to try to work with people. ~ Mark Pryor
Republican quotes by Mark Pryor
I'm not a Republican or a Democrat, but George Bush has just put us so greatly into debt; now Obama's going to make it even worse. So, it's basically highway robbery, and I think it's a tragedy. ~ Robert Kiyosaki
Republican quotes by Robert Kiyosaki
What's important here is that the Republicans agree with [Donald Trump]. ~ Hillary Clinton
Republican quotes by Hillary Clinton
Flint is a city of a hundred thousand that was having a rough go of it even before its water was poisoned by lead. And when the water crisis finally grabbed national headlines this winter, the Democratic presidential candidates noticed. Hillary Clinton sent senior staff to investigate and asked her supporters to donate to a fund for Flint's kids. Bernie Sanders called on Michigan's Republican governor, Rick Snyder, to resign. ~ Tamara Keith
Republican quotes by Tamara Keith
I am a Libertarian Republican in the Goldwater style. ~ Roger Stone
Republican quotes by Roger Stone
About 65 percent of Republicans believe that Donald Trump is not the best candidate to go head to head with Hillary Clinton. ~ Ted Cruz
Republican quotes by Ted Cruz
In entertainment value, the Democratic clambake usually lays it over the Republican conclave like ice cream over parsnips. ~ Red Smith
Republican quotes by Red Smith
The struggle you see in the Republican Party today is the country club Republican versus the bowling alley Republican. Colin Powell brings us back to the country club image. He's an insider. He's a moderate. ~ Pete Du Pont
Republican quotes by Pete Du Pont
On the Republican side, the emotional bonds of family launched a major social organization led by nietos, the Association for the Recovery of Historical Memory. Late in 2000 Emilio Silva and Santiago Macías began a personal search for the unmarked graves of their Republican ancestors.

[...] Descendants of executed Republicans told a journalist that "without the body, the pain never ceases." "Never," she reported, "have they spoken of vengeance, of revenge, or of anything that resembles that. In an exhumation, they never raise their eyes from the ground. They are not thinking of reopening wounds, but of closing, for once, their own." This journalist, Natalia Junquera, also quoted a distinguished professor of psychiatry who said, "The hatred dies, it is extinguished, but the necessity of putting a name to the dead, of honoring them, no. There always comes a moment in which one has to put an end to this interminable trauma." [63] ~ Paul D. Escott
Republican quotes by Paul D. Escott
There are just too many Americans grubbing for free stuff and a preponderance of Republicans eager to parcel it out in exchange for power. ~ Ilana Mercer
Republican quotes by Ilana Mercer
It is, of course, further indication that a fundamentalist right has really taken over much of the Republican Party, People might cite George Bush as proof that you can be totally impervious to the effects of Harvard and Yale education. ~ Barney Frank
Republican quotes by Barney Frank
I just consider myself a Republican, none of this hyphenated stuff. I was a mainstream conservative Republican, and most people are in that category. ~ Bob Dole
Republican quotes by Bob Dole
The candidates at the Republican debate looked like a town council that was outlawing dancing. They looked like a board of directors that was lying about poisoning a river. ~ David Letterman
Republican quotes by David Letterman
I think, I think we need a Republican president from the real world to remind ourselves sometimes of what we need to do. ~ Lamar Alexander
Republican quotes by Lamar Alexander
I was criticized at some level within the Republican Party by those who say government should not be in the economic development business at all. My response is that the only country I know that doesn't have an economic development plan is Papa New Guinea. ~ Jon Huntsman, Jr.
Republican quotes by Jon Huntsman, Jr.
