“I'm not a member of the permanent political establishment. And I've learned quickly, these past 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.
But here's a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion - I'm going to Washington to serve the people of this country. Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reasons, and not just to mingle with the right people.
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.
No one expects us to agree on everything.
But we are expected to govern with integrity, good will, clear convictions, and... a servant's heart.”
- Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska, from a campaign speech made on Thursday, September 4, 2008.
Sounds like she might be running.
I can’t stand it when people say she isn’t qualified....she is qualified by her hard work in private business and her executive government experience...and by the fact that she shares the values of most of us...the same values that made us proud to be Americans.
She would shake the tree of a lot of comfortable parasites...I just pray enough have the good sense to help her.
Go Sarah!
Get the hugh broom and sweep the rats into sewer!
Mrs. Palin. Just do it.
Well, she may be running, but it says that this quote if from 2008, which would be when she was running as VP.
hmmm I missed that, the date in the title made me think it was more recent.

I know what you mean. I wish people would be more clear when they post older material here.
