Go down to the Republican headquarters. They ain't got a single black working there. Not one.

We've begun to get justice.

It's wrong to kill.

Anybody who runs for president in this country and comes out as strong as the Democrats were about helping the poor folks and black folks is not going to win.

The main thing I believe in is freedom.

I loved Clinton; not as a Democrat, but as a person.

I'm a Republican, by the way.

So I'm in the Republican Party for the same reason I was in the Democratic Party: to make sure blacks are included, along with everyone else.

Speaking as a black person, welfare is the worst thing that's ever happened to us.

I believe welfare makes you lazy and unproductive.

I'm against abortion.

I'm a Republican and I'm gonna stay a Republican because they need somebody like me to stay in the Party and keep hammering away.

Welfare makes you dependent upon someone to take care of you.

And we never got the mule, let alone the forty acres.

The Republican Party is not inclusive.

Two people will never be President in my lifetime. A woman and a black.

I'm for prayer in schools.

Iraq did nothing to us. Iraq was not responsible for 9/11.

This is a racist country.

Go down to the Republican headquarters. They ain't got a single black working there. Not one.

The least I can do is show Medgar I still care. And Martin.

I'm for economic independence.

The Republican Party does not reach out.

I love the life I live. The Lord blessed me to be independent. I am independent.

I took Bobby Kennedy through the delta and he cried like a baby.

I feel there should be blacks in every Party.

We need to take responsibility and educate people. That's why black folks don't like me. I always say it's our responsibility to make safe neighborhoods. It's our job to get them cleaned up.

We've begun to put fear into those whites who think they can do anything they want to a black person and get away with it.

I'd rather be dead and in heaven than afraid to do what I think is right.

I believe in most of the things Republicans stand for.

I'm against an all-white anything or an all-black anything.

Any time the country is split 50/50, the leader is wrong.

The problem is, the Republican Party hasn't done anything to make this country better and I speak as a Republican.

I don't like a lot of social programs either because it makes you non-productive.

I don't believe in welfare.

Hands that picked cotton can now pick the mayor.

I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican-I'm an American, I'm a human.

We don't have a lot of Reagan-type leaders in our party. Remember Ronald Reagan Democrats? I want a Republican that can attract Democrats.

I want to share with the American people that President Bush and the Republican majority in just 4 years have borrowed $1.05 trillion from foreign nations. That is selling our country to other nations because of the spending that is going on.

Well, I am a Republican, and I would run as a Republican. And I have a lot of confidence in the Republican Party. I don't have a lot of confidence in the president. I think what's happening to this country is unbelievably bad. We're no longer a respected country.

Iraq's elite Republican Guard is doing so badly they're changing their name to the Democratic Guard.

A Green Party candidate would be very different from a Democrat or Republican and should be heard.

The Tax Code today is more complicated than ever, and the very people on the Republican side who denounce the Tax Code's complexity are the ones that put together what they now call a convoluted monstrosity. They put it into effect.

Anyway, I just haven't been able to find any humanity in any Republican candidate ever in my entire life.

I stand before you today as a disciplined conservative Texan, a committed Republican and a proud American, united with you to restoring our nation and revive the American dream.

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.

We are ready to end fascism once and for all, even in spite of the Republican government.

The way we're going to win elections in this country is not to become Republican lite. The way we're going to win elections in this country is to stand up for what we believe in.

If the Republican Party continues to ignore its conservative base, then the Party is headed to oblivion.
