I love those hockey moms. You know what they say the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull is? Lipstick.Collection: Mom
Our government needs to adopt a pro-market agenda that doesn't pick winners and losers, but it invites competition and it levels the playing field for everyone.Collection: Government
We don't need to fundamentally transform America. We need to restore America.
Buck up or stay in the truck.
I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities.
Polls? Nah... they're for strippers and cross country skiers.
We need leaders who will stand up for the little guy and listen once again.
The lesson of the last year is this: foreign policy can't be managed through the politics of personality, and our President would do well to take note of an observation John F. Kennedy made once he was in office - that all of the world's problems aren't his predecessor's fault.
I say to the Occupy protesters - you're occupying the wrong place, you're protesting the wrong thing.
I am a conservative Republican, a firm believer in free market capitalism. A free market system allows all parties to compete, which ensures the best and most competitive project emerges, and ensures a fair, democratic process.
My fellow citizens, the American Presidency is not supposed to be a journey of personal discovery.
We eat, therefore we hunt.
I've said it since the day he made the sacrifice to hit the campaign trail: Voters crave the anti-status-quo politician. Everything about Donald Trump's campaign, it's avant-garde. He is crushing it in the polls.
We need independents, we need the GOP, we need Reagan Democrats.
We say keep your change, we'll keep our God, our guns, our constitution.
Candidate Obama promised to fundamentally transform America and that's one promise he has kept. Turning a shining city on a hill into a sinking ship.
We need American sources of resources, we need American energy, brought to you by American ingenuity and produced by American workers.
Each of us knows that we have an obligation to care for the old, the young and the sick. We stand strongest when we stand with the weakest among us.
Sometimes even the greatest joys bring challenge, and children with special needs inspire a very, very special love.
I came to office promising major ethics reform to end the culture of self-dealing. And today, that ethics reform is a law. While I was at it, I got rid of a few things in the governor's office that I didn't believe our citizens should have to pay for. That luxury jet was over-the-top. I put it on eBay.
We're red, white and blue, and President Obama, we are through with you.
The fact that drilling won't solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all.
I'm pro-life. I'll do all I can to see every baby is created with a future and potential. The legislature should do all it can to protect human life.
A changing environment will affect Alaska more than any other state, because of our location. I'm not one though who would attribute it to being man-made.
Common sense tells us that the government's attempts to solve large problems more often create new ones. Common sense also tells us that a top-down, one-size-fits-all plan will not improve the workings of a nationwide health-care system that accounts for one-sixth of our economy.
The Republican Party would be really smart to absorb as much of the Tea Party movement as possible.
America's finest - our men and women in uniform, are a force for good throughout the world, and that is nothing to apologize for.
Washington has got to, across the board, lower taxes for small businesses so that our mom and pops can reinvest and hire people, so that our businesses can thrive.
We need a foreign policy that distinguishes America's friends from her enemies, and recognizes the true threats that we face.
The administration says, then, there are no downsides or upsides to treating terrorists like civilian criminal defendants, but a lot of us would beg to differ.
New terms used like, 'overseas contingency operation' instead of the word 'war' - that reflects a worldview that is out of touch with the enemy that we face. We can't spin our way out of this threat.
Despite what the pundits want us to think, contested primaries aren't civil war, they are democracy at work, and that's beautiful.
The only place that the left hasn't placed the blame is on their agenda, so some advice for our friends on that side of the aisle: that's where you've gotta look because that's what got you into this mess.
For a season, a gifted speaker can inspire with his words, but for a lifetime John McCain has inspired with his deeds.
In politics there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers, and then there are those like John McCain who use their careers to promote change.
When oil and gas prices went up dramatically and filled up the state treasury, I sent a large share of that revenue back where it belonged - directly to the people of Alaska.
Politics isn't just a game of clashing parties and competing interests. The right reason is to challenge the status quo, to serve the common good, and to leave this nation better than we found it.
Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reason, and not just to mingle with the right people.
Here's a little newsflash for those reporters and commentators: I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion. I'm going to Washington to serve this great country.
Well, I'm not a member of the permanent political establishment, and I've learned quickly these last few days that if you're not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone.
We tend to prefer candidates that don't talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco.
I'm just one of many moms who will say an extra prayer each night for our sons and daughters going into harm's way.
To the families of special needs children all across this country I have a message for you: for years you have sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters, and I pledge to you that if we're elected, you will have a friend, an advocate, in The White House.
To reduce deficit spending and our enormous debt, you reign in spending. You cut the budget. You don't take more from the private sector and grow government with it. And that's exactly what Obama has in mind with this expiration of Bush tax cuts proposal of his.
I think President Obama is trying to deceive the public in pretending that he was not a part of Congress that has made some decisions in the past that got us to where we are today.
They think that, if we were just smart enough, we'd be able to understand their policies. And I so want to tell 'em, and I do tell 'em, Oh, we're plenty smart, oh yeah - we know what's goin' on. And we don't like what's goin' on. And we're not gonna let them tell us to sit down and shut up.
America is looking for answers. She's looking for a new direction; the world is looking for a light. That light can come from America's great North Star; it can come from Alaska.
People have a constitutional right to burn a Koran if they want to, but doing so is insensitive and an unnecessary provocation - much like building a mosque at Ground Zero.
People know something has gone terribly wrong with our government and it has gotten so far off track. But people also know that there is nothing wrong in America that a good old-fashioned election can't fix.
