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...

The Republican Party would be really smart to absorb as much of the Tea Party movement as possible.

Obama’s capitalism is a capitalism of connections.

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...

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...

We say keep your change, we’ll keep our God, our guns, our constitution.

Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reason, and not just to mingle with the right people.

God’s will has to be done, in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that.

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.

Sometimes even the greatest joys bring challenge, and children with special needs inspire a very, very special love.

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...

Polls? Nah… they’re for strippers and cross country skiers.

My fellow citizens, the American Presidency is not supposed to be a journey of personal discovery.

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...

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.

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.

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...

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.

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

For a season, a gifted speaker can inspire with his words, but for a lifetime John McCain has inspired with his deeds.

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...

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.

We need a foreign policy that distinguishes America’s friends from her enemies, and recognizes the true threats that we face.

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.

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.

We believe every child is created equal with the right to life.

Well, let’s see. There’s—of course in the great history of America there have been rulings that there’s never going to be absolute consensus by every American, and there are those issues, again, like Roe v....

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 –...

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

I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities.

Folks, this government isn’t too big to fail, it’s too big to succeed.

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’ve been so focused on state government, I haven’t really focused much on the war in Iraq.

I say to the Occupy protesters – you’re occupying the wrong place, you’re protesting the wrong thing.

Buck up or stay in the truck.

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

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.

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...

Unless government appropriately regulates oil developments and holds oil executives accountable, the public will not trust them to drill, baby, drill. And we must!

The fact that drilling won’t solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all.

To win this war, we need a commander in chief, not a professor of law standing at the lectern.

Despite what the pundits want us to think, contested primaries aren’t civil war, they are democracy at work, and that’s beautiful.

We don’t need to fundamentally transform America. We need to restore America.

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.

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...

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.

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...

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.

We eat, therefore we hunt.
