With all the great threads here, it is becoming difficult to keep track of all the Godly, wonderful, and Republican quotes. These are quotes from which I draw inspiration and guidance from on a daily basis. These quotes are a divine collection of wisdom and values that could only be inspired by Jesus.
Please comment on which Republican quotes are your favorite, and share any quotes I haven't included here.

Haitians were originally under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon the third, or whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, we will serve you if you will get us free from the French. True story. And so, the devil said, okay it's a deal. Ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other.''

Therefore, a child who disrespects his parents must be permanently removed from society in a way that gives an example to all other children of the importance of respect for parents.

The guidelines for administering the death penalty to rebellious children are given in Deut 21:18-21:" - Charlie Fuqua, Republican nominee for Arkansas House of Representatives

Separation of Church and State
“Earlier in my political career, I had the opportunity to read the speech, and I almost threw up.” - Rick Santorum, on JFK's disgusting speech about separation of church and state.
''Do you know, where does this phrase 'separation of church and state' come from? It was not in Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists. ...

So the next time your liberal friends talk about the separation of Church and State, ask them why they're Nazis.'' Glen Urquhart, Republican House nominee
"I fully understand it's important to maintain the separation of church and state.

When our Founding Fathers passed the First Amendment, they sought to protect churches from government interference. They never intended to construct a wall of hostility between government and the concept of religious belief itself. … To those who cite the First Amendment as reason for excluding God from more and more of our institutions every day, I say: The First Amendment of the Constitution was not written to protect the people of this country from religious values; it was written to protect religious values from government tyranny.” –Ronald Reagan
