I Have The Good Fortune Of Knowing Both John Mccain And Donald Trump Well, Both Men Have More In Common Than The Today's Media Hype Would Have You Believe. Both Blazed Trails In Their Careers And Love Our Great Nation.

Well, Let's See. There's-of Course In The Great History Of America There Have Been Rulings That's Never Going To Be Absolute Consensus By Every American, And There Are Those Issues, Again, Like Roe V. Wade, Where I Believe Are Best Held On A State Level And Addressed There. So, You Know, Going Through The History Of America, There Would Be Others But...

Bless His Heart, I Have Respect For Mitt Romney, But I Do Not Have Respect For What He Has Done Through This Debt Increase Debate. He Did This. He Waited Until It Was A Done Deal That We Would Increase The Debt Ceiling, And More Money Would Be Spent, More Money Borrowed And Then Spent On Bigger Government. And Then He Came Out And He Made A Statement, That He Didn't Like The Deal After All. You Know, You Can't Defer An Issue And Assume That The Problem Is Going To Be Then Avoided.

The Response To My Op-ed By Global Warming Alarmists Has Been Interesting. Former Vice President Al Gore Has Called Me A "denier" And Informs Us That Climate Change Is "a Principle In Physics. It's Like Gravity. It Exists." Perhaps He's Right. Climate Change Is Like Gravity - A Naturally Occurring Phenomenon That Existed Long Before, And Will Exist Long After, Any Governmental Attempts To Affect It.

When We Talk About Fighting For Our Country, We're Talking About Our Vote, Our Vote Is Our Arms.

I Always Remind People From Outside Our State That There’s Plenty Of Room For All Alaska’s Animals — Right Next To The Mashed Potatoes.

I Cannot Wait To Go Get My Fried Butter On A Stick, And Fried Cheesecake On A Stick And...twinkies, Especially In Honor Of Those Who Would Rather Just Be Forced To Eat Our Peas.

Go Back To What Our Founders And Our Founding Documents Meant. They're Quite Clear That We Would Create Law Based On The God Of The Bible And The 10 Commandments.

I Love That Smell Of The Emissions!

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.

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.

Barack Obama Can Give An Entire Speech About The Wars America Is Fighting, And Never Use The Word "victory" Except When He's Talking About His Own Campaign.

Oil And Coal? Of Course, It's A Fungible Commodity And They Don't Flag, You Know, The Molecules, Where It's Going And Where It's Not [...].

I Can't Imagine Where I'd Be Without The Opportunities Provided To Me In Sports. Sports Taught Me That Gender Isn't An Issue; In Fact, When People Talk About Me Being The First Female Governor, I'm A Little Absent From That Discussion, Because I've Never Thought Of Gender As An Issue. In Sports, You Learn Self-discipline, Healthy Competition, To Be Gracious In Victory And Defeat, And The Importance Of Being Part Of A Team And Understanding What Part You Play On That Team. You All Work Together To Reach A Goal, And I Think All Of Those Factors Come Into Play In My Role As Governor.

You Gotta Be Think'n Sam Adams, Not Drink'n Sam Adams

Here's An Example Of How It Wastes Some Time. To Be Judged On Or To Be Talked About On Appearance—say Chest Size—it Makes Me Wear Layers, It Makes Me Have To Waste Time Figuring Out What Am I Going To Wear So That Nobody Will Look In An Area That I Don't Need Them To Look At.

Well, It's Always, Though, Safer In Politics To Avoid Risk, To Just Kind Of Go Along With The Status Quo. But I Didn't Get Into Government To Do The Safe And Easy Things. A Ship In Harbor Is Safe, But That's Not Why The Ship Is Built. Politics Isn't Just A Game Of Competing Interests And Clashing Parties. The People Of America Expect Us To Seek Public Office And To Serve For The Right Reasons. And The Right Reason Is To Challenge The Status Quo And To Serve The Common Good.

There's No Free Ride. Someone Always Pays And If You Don't Know Who That Someone Is, It's Probably You.

It May Be Tempting And More Comfortable To Just Keep Your Head Down, Plod Along, And Appease Those Who Demand: 'sit Down And Shut Up,' But That's The Worthless, Easy Path; That's A Quitter's Way Out.

The Challenge Is Not To Replace Obama But With Who. It's Not Enough To Just Change Up The Uniform, If We Don't Change The Team And The Game Plan, We Won't Save Our Country.

We Eat, Therefore We Hunt.

I Might Add That In Small Towns, We Don't Quite Know What To Make Of A Candidate Who Lavishes Praise On Working People When They Are Listening, And Then Talks About How Bitterly They Cling To Their Religion And Guns When Those People Aren't Listening.

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.

Assange Is Not A 'journalist' Any More Than The 'editor' Of Al-qaeda's New English-language Magazine 'inspire' Is A 'journalist.' He Is An Anti-american Operative With Blood On His Hands.

I Need Now's Defense Like A Fish Needs A Bicycle. I Don't Want Them To Defend Me.

This Is Reagan Country. Yeah! And Perhaps It Was Destiny That The Man Who Went To California`s Eureka College Would Become So Woven Within And Interlinked To The Golden State.

Polls? Nah... They're For Strippers And Cross Country Skiers.

I Say, Too, With Education, America Needs To Be Putting A Lot More Focus On That And Our Schools Have Got To Be Really Ramped Up In Terms Of The Funding That They Are Deserving. Teachers Needed To Be Paid More.

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.

They're Our Next-door Neighbors, And You Can Actually See Russia From Land Here In Alaska, From An Island In Alaska.

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.

The America I Know And Love Is Not One In Which My Parents Or My Baby With Down Syndrome Will Have To Stand In Front Of Obama’s ‘death Panel’ So His Bureaucrats Can Decide, Based On A Subjective Judgment Of Their ‘level Of Productivity In Society,’ Whether They Are Worthy Of Health Care. Such A System Is Downright Evil.

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.

There Is Only One Man In This Election Who Has Ever Really Fought For You - In Places Where Winning Means Survival And Defeat Means Death - And That Man Is John Mccain

What Does The Vice President Do?

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.

Trump Is The Candidate Giving Voice To Untold Millions Of Fed-up Americans Witnessing A Purposeful Destruction Of Our Economy And The Equal Opportunity For Success That Made America Exceptional, We're Watching Career Politicians Throw Away Our Kids' Future Through Bankrupting Public Budgets And Ripping Open Our Porous Borders Which, Obvious To All Us Non-politicians, Puts Us At Great Risk.

The Vice-president Is Supreme Boss Of The Senate.

Let Me Go Back To A Comfortable Analogy For Me - Sports... Basketball. I Use It Because You're Naive If You Don't See The National Full-court Press Picking Away Right Now: A Good Point Guard Drives Through A Full Court Press, Protecting The Ball, Keeping Her Eye On The Basket... And She Knows Exactly When To Pass The Ball So That The Team Can Win.

If The Election Had Turned Out Differently, I Could Be The One Overseeing The Signing Of Bailout Checks And Vice President Biden Could Be On The Road Selling His Book 'going Rogaine.'

Shoot, I Must Have Lived Such A Doggoned Sheltered Life As A Normal, Independent American Up There In The Last Frontier, Schooled With Only Public Education And A Lowly State University Degree, Because Obviously I Haven't Learned Enough To Dismiss Common Sense.

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.

Well, I'd Rather Choose To Be Beautiful, Um, Because, To Be Beautiful It's Natural. But Being Smart You Can Learn... You Can Learn, Um, A Lot Of Things... A Lot Of Things From The Experience... You Can Learn From A Lot Of Things Being Smart.

Mr. President, When It Rains It Pours, But Most Americans Hold Their Own Umbrellas

When It Rains It Pours

Abraham Lincoln Suggested Never Presume To Know What God's Will Is, And I Would Never Presume To Know God's Will Or To Speak God's Words.

It's Very Noble Of President Obama To Want To Stay At The Helm And Maybe Go Down With This Sinking Ship.

And Alaska - We're Set Up, Unlike Other States In The Union, Where It's Collectively Alaskans Own The Resources. So We Share In The Wealth When The Development Of These Resources Occurs. It's To Maximize Benefits For Alaskans, Not An Individual Company, Not Some Multinational Somewhere, But For Alaskans.

One Thing That Americans Do At This Time Also, Though, Is Let's Commit Ourselves, Just Everyday American People Joe Six-pack, Hockey Moms Across The Nation I Think We Need To Band Together And Say, Never Again. Never Will We Exploited And Taken Advantage Of Again By Those Who Are Managing Our Money And Loaning Us These Dollars.

I Told The Congress, 'thanks, But No Thanks,' On That Bridge To Nowhere.

Waterboarding Is How We Baptize Terrorists.

Inexplicable: I Recently Won In Court To Stop My Book "america By Heart" From Being Leaked, But Us Govt Can't Stop Wikileaks' Treasonous Act?

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.

We Know That Obama Wasn't Vetted Through The Campaign, And Now, You Know, Some Things Are Coming Home To Roost, If You Will, Which Is Inexperience, His Associations, And That Ultimately Harms Our Republic When A Candidate Isn't-isn't Vetted By The Media, That Cornerstone Of Our Democracy.

Oh, The Naive Obama State Department. They Say We Can't Kill Our Way Out Of War. Really? Tell That To The Nazis. Oh Wait, You Can't. They're Dead. We Killed 'em.

If Somebody's Gonna Smoke A Joint In Their House And Not Do Anybody Else Any Harm, Then Perhaps There Are Other Things That Our Cops Should Be Looking At To Engage In And Try To Clean Up Some Of The Other Problems That We Have In Society.

So How's That Hopey Changey Stuff Working Out For Ya?

Easter Time Reminds Us That We Have Every Right To Believe That This Hope Is Based On Time-tested Truths And A Solid Foundation.

We Should Create Law Based On The God Of The Bible.

Stupid Conservative

Before I Became Governor Of The Great State Of Alaska, I Was Mayor Of My Hometown. And Since Our Opponents In This Presidential Election Seem To Look Down On That Experience, Let Me Explain To Them What The Job Involves. I Guess A Small-town Mayor Is Sort Of Like A 'community Organizer,' Except That You Have Actual Responsibilities.

God's Will Has To Be Done In Unifying People And Companies To Get That Gas Line Built, So Pray For That.

You Either Get Free Stuff Or You Get Freedom. You Cannot Have Both And You Need To Make A Choice.

I Think Evolution Should Be Taught As An Accepted Principle. I Say That Also As The Daughter Of A School Teacher, A Science Teacher, Who Has Instilled In Me A Respect For Science. I Think It Should Be Taught In Our Schools. I Won't Ever Deny That I See The Hand Of God In This Beautiful Creation That Is Earth. But - That Is Not A Part Of State Policy Or A Local Curriculum In A School District. Science Should Be Taught In Science Class.

When I Took My Oath Of Office To Serve As Your Governor, Remember, I Swore To Steadfastly And Doggedly Guard The Interests Of This Great State Like A Grizzly With Cubs, As A Mother Naturally Guards Her Own. Alaska, As A Statewide Family, We've Got To Fight For Each Other, Not Against And Not Let External, Sensationalized Distractions Draw Us Off Course. As An Exciting Year Of Unpredictable Change Begins, We, Too, Have Our Work Cut Out For Us. And We're All In This Together. Just Like Our Musk Ox, They Circle Up To Protect Their Future When They Are Challenged. We've Got To Do The Same.

This Is Not A Man Who Sees America Like You And I See America. Our Opponent Is Someone Who Sees America, It Seems, As Being So Imperfect That He's Palling Around With Terrorists Who Would Target Their Own Country. Americans Need To Know This.

That Will Be The Position I Will Be In As Long As I'm On Earth--that Is, Seeking The Right Path That God Would Have Laid Out For Me.

Extreme Deep Water Drilling Is Not The Preferred Choice To Meet Our Country's Energy Needs, But Your Protests And Lawsuits And Lies About Onshore And Shallow Water Drilling Have Locked Up Safer Areas. It's Catching Up With You. The Tragic, Unprecedented Deep Water Gulf Oil Spill Proves It.

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.

But Listening To Him [barack Obama] Speak, It's Easy To Forget That This Is A Man Who Has Authored Two Memoirs But Not A Single Major Law Or Reform - Not Even In The State Senate.

I Think A Lot Of People Are Capitalizing, Perhaps Exploiting, What Was Done Via Me, My Family, My Administration.

If We Were Real Domestic Terrorists, Shoot, President Obama Would Be Wanting To Pal Around With Us, Wouldn't He?

Hope Is Not A Strategy.

He Who Cannot Remember The Past Is Condemned To Remember The Past. Or Something.

Remembering The Past

Americans Expect Us To Go To Washington For The Right Reason, And Not Just To Mingle With The Right People.

If A Caribou Needs To Be Sacrificed For The Sake Of Energy Independence, I Say, 'mr. Caribou, Maybe You Need To Take One For The Team.'

Peaceful New Yorkers, Pls Refute The Ground Zero Mosque Plan If You Believe Catastrophic Pain Caused @ Twin Towers Site Is Too Raw, Too Real.

I'm Going To Fight To Make Sure Every American Has Every Reason To Thank God, As I Thank Him: That I'm An American, A Proud Citizen Of The Greatest Country On Earth, And With Hard Work, Strong Faith And A Little Courage, Great Things Are Always Within Our Reach.

Stand Up, Speak Out, And Be Bold. Screw Political Correctness. Never Let Them Tell You To Sit Down And Shut Up.

Enough Of This Foreign Fiasco Distraction. Get Back To Work. It Is Time To Bomb Obamacare.

These Global Warming Studies [are] A Bunch Of Snake Oil Science.

To Paraphrase Hemingway, People Go Broke Slowly And Then All At Once. We've Been Slowly Going Broke For Years, But Now It's Happening All At Once As The World's Capital Markets Are Demanding Action From Us, Yet Obama Assumes We'll Just Go Borrow Another Cup Of Sugar From Some Increasingly Impatient Neighbor. We Cannot Knock On Anyone's Door Anymore. And We Don't Have Any Time To Wait For Washington To Start Behaving Responsibly. We'll Be Greece Before These D.c. Politicians' False Promises Are Over. We Must Force Government To Live Within Its Means, Just As Every Business And Household Does.

I Cherish The Accomplishments Of Margaret Thatcher And Will Always Count Her As One Of My Role Models.

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.

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 Really Want Congress To Do Its Job, The Constitutional Power That They Have, To Halt An Imperial Presidency, To Halt This Fundamental Transformation Of America That Is Making Us An Unrecognizable Mess Of A Nation At This Time.

We Tend To Prefer Candidates That Don't Talk About Us One Way In Scranton And Another Way In San Francisco.

Mr. President, The Only Thing That Stops A Bad Guy With A Nuke Is A Good Guy With A Nuke.

Up Here In Alaska We're Sitting On Billions Of Barrels Of Oil. We're Sitting On Hundreds Of Trillions Of Cubic Feet Of Natural Gas Onshore And Offshore. And It Seems To Be Only The Republicans Who Understand That Companies Should Be Competing For The Right To Tap Those Resources, And Get That Energy Source Flowing Into These Hungry Markets So That We Will Be Less Reliant On Foreign Sources Of Energy. In A Volatile World, Relying On Foreign Regimes That Are Not Friendly To Americans, Asking Them To Ramp Up Resource Production For Our Benefit, That's Nonsensical.

Well, If I Were In Charge, They Would Know That Waterboarding Is How We Baptize Terrorists.

There Will Be That Zip-a-dee-doo-dah After The Nominee Is Chosen. I Guarantee There Will Be That Enthusiasm. But To Be Brutally Honest, With All Due Respect To Governor Romney, Who Is Obviously The Frontrunner... Hes Not Garnering A Lot Of That Enthusiasm Right Now.

We Need A Foreign Policy That Distinguishes America's Friends From Her Enemies, And Recognizes The True Threats That We Face.

Tax Dollars Go To Projects That Have Little Or Nothing To Do With The Public Good Things Like Fruit Fly Research In Paris, France. I Kid You Not.

Let Me Ask You, Do You Love Your Freedom That You Have Here In America? Well, So Do I.

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.

What Can We Do To Nurture And Support A People Capable Of Living In Freedom?

With So Much At Stake In This Election, Both Mitt Romney And Paul Ryan Should 'go Rogue.'

My Fellow Citizens, The American Presidency Is Not Supposed To Be A Journey Of Personal Discovery.

Ground Zero Mosque Supporters, Doesn't It Stab You In The Heart, As It Does Ours, Throughout The Heartland? Peaceful Muslims, Please Refudiate.

We Need To Cut These Things That Aren't Constitutionally Mandated, That Are Kind Of On The Periphery, The Fluffery, Like Npr And National Endowment For The Arts. Those Are Obvious.

And I Think More Of A Concern Has Been Not Within The Campaign, The Mistakes That Were Made, Not Being Able To React To The Circumstances That Those Mistakes Created In A Real Positive And Professional And Helpful Way For John Mccain.

One Of The Most Important Things, That We [in Us] Have To Engage Is Unleashing Our Domestic Energy Production Opportunities. It Does Come Down To "drill, Baby, Drill," In Addition To An "all Of The Above" Energy Policy.

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.

That Alaska Has A Very Narrow Maritime Border Between A Foreign Country, Russia, And On Our Other Side, The Land Boundary That We Have With - Canada. We Have Trade Missions Back And Forth. We - We Do - It's Very Important When You Consider Even National Security Issues With Russia As Putin Rears His Head And Comes Into The Airspace Of The United States Of America Where - Where Do They Go? It's Alaska.

I Used To Wonder If The Occasionally Rough Edges Of Politics Were Unique Here Under The Great North Star. But I Ventured Out A Bit This Past Year, And I Tell You That, As Partisan Quarrels Go, Ours Really Aren't So Bad.

I Love Those Hockey Moms. You Know What They Say The Difference Between A Hockey Mom And A Pit Bull Is? Lipstick.

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.

I Opposed Annexing In Areas Around Our City Borders, Because I Knew That If Neighborhoods Wanted To Be A Part Of The City, Well, They Would Mandate Themselves In And Invite Themselves Into A City. That's Just One Example Of Even On A Local Level How Dangerous It Is For A Politician To Start Thinking They Know More Than That Individual Family, That Individual Business.

Well, Let's See. There's -- Of Course -- In The Great History Of America Rulings There Have Been Rulings.

I Want To Help Clean Up The State That Is So Sorry Today Of Journalism. And I Have A Communications Degree.

Sweat Is My Sanity. During The Campaign, The Days Never Went As Well If I Couldn't Get Out There And Sweat.

I've Been So Focused On State Government, I Haven't Really Focused Much On The War In Iraq.

Within Hours Of A Tragedy Unfolding, Journalists And Pundits Should Not Manufacture A Blood Libel That Serves Only To Incite The Very Hatred And Violence They Purport To Condemn. That Is Reprehensible.

We Don't Need To Fundamentally Transform America. We Need To Restore America.

Nuclear Weaponry, Of Course, Would Be The Be-all, End-all Of Just Too Many People In Too Many Parts Of Our Planet.

We Need To Look At [osama Bin Laden Killing ] As A Great Victory For The American Military And Intelligence Personnel And For The American People. A Lot Of Bravery And Courage Displayed By Those Folks On Behalf Of All Of Us. It's Also A Good Day For The Administration. I Think President [barack] Obama And His National Security Team Acted On The Intelligence When It Came In, And They Deserve A Lot Of Credit, Too.

I Was Just Your Average Hockey Mom, And Signed Up For The Pta Because I Wanted To Make My Kids' Public Education Better.

America's Finest - Our Men And Women In Uniform, Are A Force For Good Throughout The World, And That Is Nothing To Apologize For.

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.
