Despite What The Pundits Want Us To

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.

I Say To The Occupy Protesters - You're Occupying The Wrong Place, You're Protesting The Wrong Thing.

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.

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.

We Say Keep Your Change, We'll Keep Our God, Our Guns, Our Constitution.
