Politician

I think it's fair to say that women have a different level of intuitiveness that allows them to perhaps handle situations a little bit different.

We have so many issues in this country to focus on that worry us, that I question why there is such focus on the simple right of people to love whom they will.

What I look at is, do you represent the values of the state of Alaska? Do you represent the people here in terms of what it is that they need, they hope for, what they hope for their future? And Joe Miller simply does not represent that.

If there's anybody who is recognized as the one guy who has stymied Alaskan development, it's Bill Clinton.

I will be sent back to Washington, D.C., with the grace of God and all the Alaskan voters out there because all Alaskans have asked me to go back and continue my service.

Alaskans deserve a fighter in the United States Senate who will always stand up for Alaska, who understands our great potential, who has the experience, respect and seniority to accomplish that. I am that senator.

I wish that I could tell you that I have a season ski pass, but I have had to give that up since I've been in the Senate.

You shouldn't say, 'Well, we cannot go there,' before we even had the conversation.

I've got two young sons who, when I ask them and their friends how they feel about gay marriage, kinda give me one of those looks like, 'Gosh, Mom, why are you even asking that question?'

It is fundamentally important in our system of government that every American be given the opportunity to vote, regardless of who they are, where they live, and what their race or national origin may be.

We can sit between active drilling operations in neighboring countries, complaining that it's too risky to develop our own resources while the world around us does exactly that.

We need to face it, as a nation we have a reliance on petroleum.

People think that every day we pass monumental legislation. Oftentimes, the most important thing that you have done that day is help a family with a visa.

I was returned to the Senate by the people of Alaska, and I have an obligation to all of them - it's not an obligation to my party; it's an obligation to Alaskans.

I'm not - I'm not going to define people by labels: who's a real Republican, who's not a real Republican.

I don't pass the Tea Party's purity test.

I will do everything, everything in my power, for as long as I am here, to enable the people of King Cove to receive proper emergency access that the rest of us take for granted.

I am still a Republican. I have not changed that.

If there is one belief that unifies most Alaskans - our true north - it is less government and more freedom. We don't want the government in our pockets or our bedrooms; we certainly don't need it in our families.

What people unfortunately relate to when they think of Alaska oil was when the Exxon Valdez went aground because of a captain that was drunk. But when you look to how we have been safely producing and moving Alaska's oil for decades, it is a track record that is enviable.
