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.
Sarah Palin -
We have a President, perhaps for the very first time since the founding of our republic, who doesn't appear to believe that America is the greatest earthly force for good the world has ever known.
Sarah Palin
-
We need a foreign policy that distinguishes America's friends from her enemies, and recognizes the true threats that we face.
Sarah Palin -
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.
Sarah Palin -
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.
Sarah Palin -
You gotta be think'n Sam Adams, not drink'n Sam Adams
Sarah Palin -
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.
Sarah Palin -
That GOP leadership, that establishment, they've got to get their stuff together I love what they believe in, I believe in it too. But they've got to get tough, man. You know what? It's not just the New England Patriots who are dealing with deflated balls right now.

My fellow citizens, the American Presidency is not supposed to be a journey of personal discovery.
Sarah Palin -
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.
Sarah Palin -
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.
Sarah Palin -
Folks, this government isn't too big to fail, it's too big to succeed.
Sarah Palin -
We need independents, we need the GOP, we need Reagan Democrats.
Sarah Palin -
I want to make a toast to all at this press event who agree with Thomas Jefferson, who said that our liberty depends on the freedom of the press. So I want to lift a glass to those who defend that freedom. Our finest, the men and women in uniform who defend that freedom, our Constitution, and our exceptional way of life in America.

They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.
Sarah Palin -
We tend to prefer candidates that don't talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco.
Sarah Palin -
I've been so focused on state government, I haven't really focused much on the war in Iraq.
Sarah Palin -
Remember, the enemy comes to kill still and destroy. But now they're going to inspect themselves? Oh, what could go wrong with that? Yes, don't call us. We'll call you, they say. And that's really good because Barack Obama is standing by with his mighty phone and his mighty pen in case they stretch the truth a little. And they start dropping bombs.
Sarah Palin -
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.
Sarah Palin -
I believe that there is great hope and great potential for every country to be able to live and be protected with inalienable rights that I believe are God-given.
Sarah Palin

How do you know there’s not a door to heaven in the sky between Malaysia and Vietnam?
Sarah Palin -
Nothing surprises me anymore. We'll keep doing what we're doing. I'm going to keep going forward with solutions that I want to see applied to this great country, the challenges that we're facing. And things like that e-mails as governor published are going to be perhaps a distraction for others. They won't distract me.
Sarah Palin -
Buck up or stay in the truck.
Sarah Palin -
Hope is not a strategy.
