Well, you know, I - again, even in the context of BP, I wonder about this government's priorities. The federal government's top priority right now should be the cleanup. And BP certainly has done so many things wrong. They need to be held to account.

Cleanup Time
Bubble, bubble
Uh, uh, uh, uh -
Moonlight on the water,
Sunlight on my face.
You and me together,
We are in our place.
The gods are in the heavens,
Angels treat us well.
Oracles spoken
We cast the perfect spell.
The queen is in the counting house,
Counting all the money.
The king is in the kitchen
Making bread and honey.
No friends and yet no enemies,
Absolutely free.
No rats aboard the magic ship
Of perfect harmony.
Now it begins,
Let it begin.
Ah -
Cleanup time, (cleanup, cleanup)
Yeah, cleanup time,
Cleanup time, (cleanup, cleanup)
Well,
Well,
Well!
Mm, however far we travel,
Wherever we may roam,
The center of the circle
Will always be our home, yeh, yeh.
Uh, uh, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo,
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo.
Yeh, cleanup time, yeh, (cleanup, cleanup)
Cleanup time, (cleanup, cleanup)
Cleanup time, (cleanup, cleanup)
Cleanup time, (cleanup, cleanup)
Cleanup time, (cleanup, cleanup)
Cleanup time, (cleanup, cleanup)
Cleanup time, (cleanup, cleanup)
Cleanup.

Government does not have a revenue problem; government has a spending problem. Government does not have a revenue problem; government has a priority problem. It is time that we begin to fine tune our focus and decide what the priority of government ought to be.

But the federal government, our collective government, has responsibilities that none of these other levels of government can fulfill; and chief among these is national defense.

The powers of government exercised locally derive from a federal law authorizing government by consent in local affairs only, unless those affairs are otherwise governed by federal law.

But again, you know, the views that we've expressed are transferring power back from the federal government to the states, giving Alaska an incredible opportunity to expand its economy, especially at a time when our federal government is coming close to bankruptcy.So that is a broad-based appeal. It's not an extreme view.

There is nothing wrong with describing Conservatism as protecting the Constitution, protecting all things that limit government. Government is the enemy of liberty. Government should be very restrained.
The federal government was responsible for building the levees, engineering the levees, and consequentially, the federal government is responsible for repairing the damage that has been done, which has not been completed yet.

I believe in an America with a government of men devoted solely to the public interests — men of ability and dedication, free from conflict or corruption or other commitment — a responsible government that is efficient and economical, with a balanced budget over the years of the cycle, reducing its debt in prosperous times — a government willing to entrust the people with the facts that they have — not a businessman's government, with business in the saddle … not a labor government, not a farmer's government, not a government of one section of the country or another, but a government of, for and by the people.

We must take away the government's credit card. With limits on both tax revenue and borrowing, the Federal government would finally be forced to get serious about spending cuts.

Just like families must live within their budgets, the Federal Government must live within its means. We have passed appropriations bills that have been fiscally responsible while recognizing our national priorities.

Anarchists
The leaders of this country,
Think were the ones that do wrong,
They take control of the power,
and steal this land of forgotten freedom
Its not the people afraid of the government,
Its the government afraid of the people
They call the ones dressed in black,
The evil ones but we fight back,
We've got hackers, we've got protesters,
we let no man left behind
Its not the people afraid of the government,
Its the government afraid of the people
The unions dressed in black,
With their flag raised up high,
Don't take no for an answer,
As the forces stain the streets with blood
Its not the people afraid of the government,
Its the government afraid of the people
We fight for the people,
Our obligation is good as gold,
And though we fight with arms of steel,
we don't let death go in vein
Its not the people afraid of the government,
Its the government afraid of the people
