Forts, arsenals, garrisons, armies, navies, are means of security and defence, which were invented in half-civilized times and in feudal or despotic countries; but schoolhouses are the republican line of fortifications, and if they are dismantled and dilapidated, ignorance and vice will pour in their legions through every breach.

Horace Mann

I'm not a typical Republican. I am a Republican, I wear the Republican jersey, I've been a Republican my whole life. My dad was a Republican, which is interesting because he was in a union early on. The Republican party was very strong in the area that I grew up in. So I'm a loyalist.

Anthony Scaramucci

Rick Santorum

I'm a Republican. I'm probably not the cookie-cutter Republican that fits the litmus test of Republican Party politics. But I don't want to be that.

Anthony Scaramucci

Given the choice between a Republican and someone who acts like a Republican, people will vote for the real Republican all the time

Harry S. Truman

Lindsey Graham is now the seventh Republican running for president. If you're keeping score, that's basically one Republican candidate for every two Republican voters.

Conan O'Brien

If you entrench yourself behind strong fortifications, you compel the enemy seek a solution elsewhere.

Carl von Clausewitz

I'm not a hard-line Republican, because I'm a lot more open-minded than that.

James Denton
