Tim Scott quotes
There are good people and bad people in all organizations fundamentally however, when you look at the basis of the Tea Party it has nothing to do with race. It has to do with an economic recovery. It has to do with limiting the role of our government in our lives. It has to do with free markets.

I see myself as a person who wants to serve the constituents within my district and find a way to move those who are not in our position philosophically to our position.

I don't necessarily believe there's a message in the fact that I'm an African-American Republican. I think there is a message that America as a whole, we are now awake.

Tim Scott
I think about my grandfather who's 89 years old, and the last thing he needs is more money out of his pocket.
