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.

We need independents, we need the GOP, we need Reagan Democrats.

I love those hockey moms. You know what they say the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull is? Lipstick.

We need leaders who will stand up for the little guy and listen once again.

We tend to prefer candidates that don't talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco.

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.

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.

When we talk about fighting for our country, we're talking about our vote, our vote is our arms.

We need American sources of resources, we need American energy, brought to you by American ingenuity and produced by American workers.

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.

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.

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.

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.
