"And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forbears fought is still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from generosity of the state but from the hand of God." -- John F. Kennedy
"Because of their belief that power had come from God to each individual, the Framers began the Constitution with the words 'we the people'" -- Newt Gingrich
"There's never been a nation like the United States, ever. It begins with the principles of our founding documents, principles that recognize that our rights come from God, not from our government." -- Marco Rubio

Lisa Murkowski concedes to Joe Miller in Alaska
Three weeks ago, Murkowski's re-election was all but assured.
Miller trailed the moderate senator by 30 points or more in polls conducted this summer. He had been able to raise only about $283,000 to compete with her $3 million. At one of his rallies, only nine people showed up.
Then the Tea Party Express spent $600,000 on radio and television ads. Palin and former Lt. Gov. Loren Leman recorded 11th-hour robocalls for him.
Power of Palin?, click here.
Joe Miller will be the Alaska republican candidate for U.S. Senate.
