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.

The man can only ride you when your back is bent.

I don't like local, state or federal level of got mandating anything in our lives , in our families, and in our businesses, unless it comes to saving lives.

Let me ask you, do you love your freedom that you have here in America? Well, so do I.

Who calls a shot like that? Who makes a decision like that? It's a disturbing trend.

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.

[Donald] Trump and his Trumpeteers, well, they're not conservative enough.
