I am greatly saddened, yet perplexed by her announcement. It just goes to show you its still a bloody boys club no matter what side you root for.
I do not see the resignation of Sarah Palin as a "quitter". I think she knows that our country needs her in the lower 48 to help to get the right people in office in 2010. She is a huge force to be reckoned with. She draws huge crowds, states the conservative values and principles very well. We NEED her in that roll. I think you will see the wisdom of her decision.
As of yet Sarah has NOT said she will be on the campaign trial for 2012.. I hope and pray she will .. If so, I personal think she will run as a independent and detach herself from all the two faced back stabbing corrupted politicians in the Republican party. Sarah Palin is the right medicine for this country that in need of a fast cure. If she decides to run she will need plenty of support financially, morally and spiritually It will be the duty of the silent majority to get to work and make this all happen.. She can not do it all alone. Moving fast forward, any suggestions from the 912 group on who will be a good asset to share her ticket?? HA! besides Glenn Beck…..
Talk about a political inside revolution……
how about Penn Teller!
Sarah Palin supported the Republican policies for the last eight years.
Her party spent billions on the war in Iraq a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 while ignoring Afghanistan. Her party left us with and economic meltdown, budget deficits and two wars. Now she is cutting and running unwilling to work to find solutions the problems she helped create.
She is running away from her responsibilities as governor while her state is facing a 1.65 billion dollar budget short fall! This tells you everything you need to know about Sarah Palin! When things get tough she simply walks away from her duties!
From the Anchorage Daily News
Alaska budget hole is $1.65 billion
JUNEAU — The state is facing a budget shortfall approaching $1.65 billion this year, the Palin administration said Tuesday. It's a far bigger problem than state officials predicted two months ago in their last forecast.
Sarah Palin-My View
She Did for Alaska what she had to do. She knows that to accomplish what has to be done, she has to be free
from all constraints that could hinder her mission. She realizes that the 2010 elections will be a turning point
for getting back our country. I believe that she will be in the lower 48 working to get conservative candidates
out in the forefront. She couldn't wait 18 months to end her term. She will be campaigning for those who share here
views and getting much insight in politics in the lower 48. Not to join in, but how to combat it.
Quote from a friend of Sarahs
A blessed woman of God willing to share her strengths, weaknesses, values, morals, and beliefs in God with a nation that's lost its way. Truly, someone I admire and esteem to be like in a world that's corrupted the meaning of hero and role model
Avid Palin supporter-obviously
Everyone seems to be faulting Palin for her decision to resign the Governership of Alaska but no one is giving a great deal of thought to the HELL that she and her family lived through!!! Now I would have probably gone after the POSs that tried to totally wreck her reputation and trash her decient family especially her children!! Many of the news media as well as the TV celebs are themselves the lowest forms of life, the kind of life you find under a pile of dog sh*t when turned over!! Put yourself in her place and ask yourself if you would put up with it??? The vast majority of the media is TRASH!!!!!!
no argument here, suthin, they are dishonest, dishonorable parasites.
DITTOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The type of leader that I want is someone who will preach and live up to the following: In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children. I think that anyone that will keep these values in our hearts and tries their best to live by them will take us to the right place regardless of what is going on around us. If enough of us keep these values then we will be lead to the correct outcome by divine providence as our founding fathers were. If we keep God first and try to live up to the Christian religion and try to keep our families safe and Sacred then all will turn out in the long run. God will bless us that we will be able to overcome. The following quote shows the humility and strength that I am looking for in our leaders: I seek not for power, but to pull it down. I seek not for honor of the world, but for the glory of my God, and the freedom and welfare of my country. Please vote for and support leaders who uphold these values. Please let us know if there are any leaders that you hear about that are supporting these values so we can get their names out there and support them.
I don't blame the woman for stepping down with all the 3rd grade finger pointing and name calling the media pulled on her during and AFTER the election, seriously how many of us would've put up with that crap for that long? And how many of us would've dared run for office if one of are kids got pregnant outside of marriage?
This woman has ethics, guts, and is an unorthodox politician. She's got my vote if she runs again for a higher office. Although I have a feeling she may be done with office politics, she might stick to something a little more privet sector like organizing and informing the people, either way she's got my support.
Why doesn't everyone leave Governor Sarah Palin along??
News wants to over analsis!!
There are people who post on this site who would be wonderful candidates.
We need to get past the notion that we aren't 'good enough'….frankly, these people are far more than 'good enough' and the other side is looking awfully petty and small……….no REAL competition for True Patriots with clear visions for the future.
The Founders laid EVERYTHING on the line for the dream that is America………..are we too soft to do the same?
Since Sara Palin's announcement, I have been listening to the 'talking heads' prattle on about how this decision will be her undoing………………..what a load of CRAPPY CRAP CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [to quote our dear Glenn]
Sara Palin blew in as an unbelievable breath of fresh air………..she is fresh, she is smart, she is clearly bound to her principles and she scared the 'BAT CRAP' [thanks again Mr B] out of the left. Julian Epstein commented today on FOX that she is 'TOXIC'…………………I say, BRING IT ON SARA!!!!!!
She and those like her will lead us out of the muck we find ourselves in due to the paracites of both parties, all of those ensconsed inside the beltway of our capital.
We need to get angry, we need to get louder, we need to get into the faces of those who have no respect for the Constitution and no respect for 'WE THE PEOPLE'.
Governor Palin, this is the tea party movement.
Tea party movement, meet Governor Sarah Palin… conqueror of corruption in BOTH parties.
You are the one that is pathetic. You look for posts you can disagree with just to rack up the negative points. Get a life, loser.
Have you noticed that OB will not talk to a debate anyone that has a different point of view he lets his acorn cronies and seiu go out and do the work. and my feeling is by palins speech is that there are no republicans that have enough guts to go out and start pounding Obama and the dems agenda. so i think she is going to go out and beat them all to it. and i hope she does
What's left of the "Republican" party has fallen in line behind the Democrats. I agree that they have no guts to challenge anything the Dem's throw at them, let alone challenging "The Messiah", himself. There has been speculation that S. Pailn has resigned to focus on 2012. I hope so…and I hope they can pair her up with someone better than John "Yosemite Sam" McCain. I thought he was decent enough of a candidate, but it turns out to be anything but. I cannot believe how the RINOS turned their back on her when she was under attack. If we never hear from her again, I couldn't say I blame her, but we need someone like her who is willing to stand up against the morons currently occupying this government.
I hoped she would do this now she can spend every minute and that is what it will take to stop THE CHANGE!
You are correct Carol. She will need support, and I plan on giving it to her. I have been waiting for someone to stand up and take the reigns, and I will be more than happy if she volunteers for such a task.

It really disgusts me that media again telling us what we can do and not do. Again the POLITICAL leaders are saying Sarah has to play the game the way they want it done. But isn't that all false, because it is old school corrupt telling her this. So if we are WE THE PEOPLE don't we get to decide WHO HOW and WHY. So what if she is doing things different. So WHAT. Mitt Romney runs his successful health care in his state already without government and knows how to handle money, yet old POLITICS told him to get out of the race last time. See what happened. WE THE PEOPLE should decide. This crap about what Sarah can do and not do is crap, unless someone can honestly prove she is doing something illegal WHO CARES!! I VOTE FOR DOING THINGS DIFFERENT AND SARAH PALIN IS ON THE TICKET.
The Dems will use the MSM to distort the truth about this fine lady. She is not like Hillary, she is a conservative with her own ideas and beliefs, this is not what THEY want. I believe she is strong and will survive the onslaught, with a family to stand with her through this. This use to be the strength of this great nation, family, beliefs and love of God and country!! We have to find our way back to these principles, ans stand firmly on them!!
The way the liberals, the press, her own party, steps on Sarah Palin tells me that she is doing something right. They try to destroy anything they fear or do not understand and that would be her and her ideals. She has the base of common sense……good values and a respect and understanding of the Constitution! Exactly what this country needs and exactly what we are not getting right now. Hats off to you Sarah Palin, keep up the fight I support you.
Leftists have the ethics and morals of Stalin and Mao. The ruthlessness gives the power they want above all else. Palin, like Reagan, has what they don't, integrity, honesty, and honor. Reagan beat them. It remains to be seen if Palin will. I hope she goes for it. I want to be working for her win.
she will, friend, and we will be helping her.
Sarah Palin still receives my encouragement I want to wait to see her next move. I for one intend to stop allowing the politics of "SMEAR" to rule. I will only support independent thinkers that believe in the principles and values that are the mantra of this site.
Sorry, I was off topic. Sarah Palin's resignation is being portrayed as quitting on her state but I view it as not having her state pay her to campaign the way the US Senate paid Obama and McCain when they ran. I like Mitt Romney as well and I agree that although Newt knows Washington and he is very savy that the Dems will do their ususal. Can beat 'em on issues then bury in scandal.

Please check out http://www.goooh.com We can oust the whole House of Representatives with this plan. Please just check it out. It's worth a look, it has promise and if we all get together we can make this happen. We can then implement the plan in our own cities, towns, states, the Senate. The sky is the limit if we work together.
Unfortunately she is going to be SEVERELY chastised for leaving office in near mid-term and that is going to be used as a club against her in any political arena. Her excuses for leaving office just don't make sense. I was a loyal supporter of her, even in defeat, but I will have to give some serious thought to whether I can support her in the future.

I guess no one remembers that Obama and Biden both left the Senate in mid-term to pursue a higher office. She was draining the coffer at taxpayers expense. She left to keep from further spending tax payers money. I don't think that will be a problem to defend. You ever notice you can't pry out a Democrat from a public office even with the jaws of life? They will take down every iota of honor their office once held in order to keep power.
The state of Alaska had paid $2,000,000 to defend the bogus 'ETHICS' charege. The Palins have logged attorney fees in excess of $500,000…………………..what ,exactly, would you have done in the same situation?
If the media had spent 10% of the effort to destroy Sara on Obama he might not be the Prez today.
How many families would hold up under all of that?
I hope you do give it some serious thought and decide to support her. Because what she did was the right thing. She put her state, taxpayers and family ahead of herself. If she is planning on running for a national office, then she would be using taxpayer money to do that for the last couple years of her term. How many politicians are willing to give up their seat and paycheck in order to run for office. I think every politician should be made to leave office if they are going to run for a different position. If she is not running for office, she still did the right thing, because the nonsense suits being brought against her was only costing the taxpayers and her family so much money. Obama, kept his senate seat, used our money and voted absent so that he could run for president. He has proven that he doesn't care about spending our money and he is still campaigning!! The part of Illinois that he was senator for was not represented for years while he campaigned.
I have to laugh at the left's lame finger pointing and ridicule of every move Sarah Palin makes. They claimed she didn't have enough education—well how can one be the sitting governor AND pursue an Ivy League education at the same time? She is being very coy.
I am surprised that hormone fluctuation has not been blamed.
She is very smart and will do what is right for both herself and the nation according to HER time table, not what others keep making for her. I heard one with Chris Wallace say today that her move proves she is 'flighty' and we don't need a national leader who is unpredictable. Oh yeah? I think that is EXACTLY what is needed. Someone who might sting you at a time you least expect it, or become your friend. Sarah's stated values are EXACTLY what this nation needs, strong defense, good energy policy that gets America off of foreign imports and makes good use of all resources, who values family strongly and emphasizes fiscal restraint. This is the exact opposite of Obama's approaches—the EXACT opposite. And it was strongly suggested that Obama never really worked–had little to no experience in the Senate and there he is now, an elected President. She can do as much if she works hard to prove that she is different and in fact better than what we are getting used to in Obama. It mattered not to anyone that Obama sat back, milked the Senate cow and didn't vote more than half the time, and no one calls him 'flighty.' I think she knew just what she needs to do and I personally support her, in any case.

He might bring people on board, but unless he is the only canidate out there, I can't support him. I admitt he may be smart, but he strikes as butterfly, going from on caause to another.
How about PALIN/OLD MARINE?
Isn't the defination of a statesman or in this case, a stateswoman, putting the country ahead of self? What an odd concept. I also noted that she put her husband and children ahead of politics. What a really odd concept! This is a person of ….. gasp! ….. ethics. Can't wait to vote for her.
Go Granny, Go Granny,Go Granny, GO!!!!!!!!!
Palin has not abandoned anyone. She can see the need for someone to stand up and lead now. She could not do this as governor and Alaska was being punished by the socialist creeps that think they can trash her. They will make every effort to trash her and make her look like she is a failure. She is risking it all for America right now. Don't let her down and don't let these socialist creeps infect your hearts and minds against her. We need her more than she needs us, yet she is risking it all. God Bless you Sarah Palin and keep your family safe.
(admins…. the link to the article seems broken….)
I was shocked when I heard the news. I must admit though, I don't' see any way she could win. If she had continued to occupy the office, she'd be accused of using the Alaskan taxpayer's money to defend herself. Stepping down, she's accused of being a quitter, or of having some other motive.
As Gov Huckabee said in the Chris Wallace interview, the opposition, if it can't argue against policy and politics, will simply tie one up in court. This costs the taxpayers money and also the individual. The entire Democrat machine was brought to bear against Palin. That cost Alaska over 2million and the Palin family over 1/2 million. Remember Samuel "Joe" Wurzelbacher? All he did was ask a question and SOMEBODY tried to ruin his life!
Power abuse for the purposes of retaining or acquiring power is a form of corruption that presents as much of a threat to the American way of life as selling secrets to the enemy. It is on par with treason. The Republican party could have done SOMETHING to help, but since she scares them as much as she does the Democrats, they elected to do nothing. If the DNC is guilty of a crime on par with treason, the RNC is guilty of complicity.
People engaging in this kind of power abuse should be tried for SOMETHING! At the very least they have willfully filed false statements/complaints, filed frivolous suits, and intentionally interfered with the normal operations of an official government agency. This is a form of political terrorism, nothing less If convicted, they should face the maximum penalty.
BUT…. I don't hear anyone hollering about "Hate Speech" like they did when people were complaining about Obama's policies. (and we actually complained about his POLICIES). There were REAL concerns about Obama and his loyalties. The complaints against Palin were BASELESS, and those who filed those complaints knew it!
The very fact that we now live in a country where it is acceptable to conduct politics this way indicates that we have already lost the fight. The corruption has become so complete that this form of treachery has become an acceptable norm of operations and is not recognized as the high-crime that it is, and carry the same penalty.
That is why here in America there is one lawyer for every 200 people…vs 1 for every 10,000 in Japan. That is why health care is even on the table…LAWSUITS…that cripple doctors, hospitals, and other care providers. That is why here in America you can go to prison for shooting a cat…and get government funding for killing an unborn human being. That is why we pass out condoms in school with one hand and toss out the Bible with the other hand…and then we wonder why someone like (Palin) with actual CHARACTER, who comes done the pike once in a generation…and gets frustrated by this dog-eat-dog system…which not only dissed her politics, but then went after her children and husband as well. We have a 'cancer' eating us here in America, folks.
Your post is sad because it is oh so true. Great post. Most polititcians are so crooked and only out for themselves. They do not want an honest, caring person in office that would show them up for what they are.
We the 'Silent Majority' are waking up. If we look at how well the main stream media is doing, we see that they are failing miserably. People are aware of the MSM's agenda and are refusing to read or watch any more.
When they throw 'mud' we need to throw it right back in their faces………….we can sit back and accept defeat or we can stand up, get in their faces and fight back with facts.
If you are willing to 'give up' you deserve whatever fate you get………..I will NEVER give up!
Treason? Possibly, have you tried suggesting that to any of your representatives???????? They offer excuses, very lame……………they are very afraid!
kathib, you are exactly right! we are waking up! And we're not very happy!! Washington better listen!!! I didn't want this fight but I will definitely finsh it!!!!! I to WILL NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!!
Allan, I am glad to hear from you. I have said this so many times that I think I'm going to quit saying it. The dems trash Sarah and so does the Rep. Even Huckabee didn't really stand up for Sarah. Which really suprised me. Nothing from Mitt Romney. Where is this country going? I certainly think TREASON has been comitted by Obama and is staff. And need to be called out on it! WHY is everyone so scared of OBAMA. What is going on? He should be impeached and soon, but that won't happen because of the HOUSE Speaker. Not one single person in the Congress or House of Representatives is calling for such a thing. Are they asleep or do they just choose to ignore the will of the people? Or — are they afraid the repercussions? If they are, what a bunch of wimps. WE, THE PEOPLE are speaking out all over the place and no one listens. I'm at a complete lose.

Trotter = not smart enough to get it. Sarah has more brains in her little finger then most of these so called 'reporters.' That said, John McCain and the GOP abandoned Sarah after allowing her to be dragged through the mud. None of them stepped forward to offer help with her legal bills, believe me, McCain could have helped, I always appreciated him for being a War Hero; what she got instead was some in the McCain camp come out to trash her further. Where was the GOP and McCain during all this? They should be hanging their heads in shame, but they won't. I do not blame her for resigning her GOP Governorship, in fact, I applaud her. Now she can say what she wants, expose who she wants, and also plan on what to do to help keep our Constitution in tact. She said she quit because of the cost to the Alaskan taxpayers; guess the so called media and politicians (not having any scruples of their own), prefer to put a different spin on it. I believe her and stick by her 100%.
I was saying the same thing about Trotter this morning as I watched her on FOX. Only not in such nice words. The gall of people that say she used her "looks and gender" to get her places in politics! What a load of hogwash!
I would like to see Sarah Palin team with Glenn Beck to initiate a new party….one that will make the Republicans and Democrats fear WE THE PEOPLE!!!
No it won't. It will hand BH0 a second term on a silver-plated platter.
I hate to say it, but I agree. As much as I've been displeased with the republican party of late, I don't see a third party coming to power within the next four years.
Hey maybe Sarah will co-host a couple shows with Glenn
Bring up what she is going to tackle First to repair the damage Obama is doing to the country.
I have joined the sarahPAC. That was the best political speach I have ever heard last Friday. I am suggesting she go on the attack – IE: MASTER ARM ON! Also, I believe that it is time for a new party – THE PATRIOT PARTY. At a party, Friday night, someone suggested that for the next Tea Party – we thow all the current members of Congress into Boston Harbor.
The Hudson River is closer!
The anti-American crowd is scared of her and of us, the honest true Americans…I have forwarded bluejoni s slanderous statements to the Palin people…I am really interested in finding out who these bloated parasites we call trolls really are…lawyers will be able to backtract the trolls, determine their identities, and subpoena records to bring them to justice. America needs a good housecleaning and it is long overdue.
Amen!

People…heads up…just heard Liz Trotter talking about Sarah: "undereducated, ill-spoken…is this what the Republican party wants, etc.:
Dear Ms. Trotter: your views on those who attend non-ivy league schools are precisely why the media, yourself included, don't understand Sarah, and those of us who are tired of being led around by elitist snobs. We want a representative party who gets that it's okay to go to state schools, it's okay to want to live in suburbia, it's okay to be happy to work and live in the same town that your family has lived in for years, it's okay to hold standards and values that don't twist with the wind. In other words, Ms. Trotter, we are middle America, not the elite, fascist class of Foggy Bottom.
I agree. When I heard her talking about how Sarah Palin appeals only to the extreme right wing I said that I guessed that somehow I just joined this wing of the Repub Party. I, too, am tired of these snobs telling everyone how to think and how to interpret what's going on. My concern is just how many are going to buy her line of crap and turn away? Maybe it's well past due that a new party APPEARS!!
hear hear!!
I am so ready! Thanx..
Can I say \”ditto\”? I'm all for a new one if that's what it will take….

Right on the money!!!
Yes, this type of backbiting is part and parcel of the reason I now vote independent…I wasa lifelong Republican. What McCain, his campaign staff, and the Republican Party have a lot to answer for. Between the independent voters, the angry Dems and the angry Repubs, particularly the women, there is a new day dawning and a whole new set of rules…if the repubs cannot think outside the box and they cannot support the American people…well, too bad….this is an American woman, reaching out to American voters, seeking to rescue America from the grips of corrupt government. Long live Liberty. Live Free or die.
I started out as a JFK Dem first time voter..but by later in term, was not going to vote second term…then, Reagan Repub…what a guy…now, since Bush refused to shore up borders, crack down on illegals, I am proud Independent grandma.. have two grandsons in military, son in law was in…thank you for your service to our beloved country

I wonder about alot who have the power and ability and just don't. I personally don't have the education and the money to fight it on a personal level. But many do, and don't. I feel at times, just as much a sheep to the slaughter as others.
You don't need \”education\” and you don't need money, although sometimes it would be nice to have money to fight with. YOU have the most important, most valuable thing necessary, LOVE OF COUNTRY, if you didn't, you wouldn't be here on 912. Education, well reading and using your own common sense, that's all the education you really need. I know some highly \”educated\” people that couldn't pour P7ss on of a boot, even with the instructions on the heel. LISTEN UP, and listen good, you are not a sheep, you are an intelligent person, you are as valuble to our cause as anyone on the 912 project,, now no more of that crap that you feel like a sheep going to the slaughter, stand up and fight, fight with everything you can, letters, cards, emails or phone calls. Now, back to work.
My gut tells me that Sarah has big plans. She is a smart woman and knows what she's doing…The American people underestimate her! Thank you Sarah Palin for standing up for your values and principles!!!
amen, pistolmom…she is exactly what we need to clean out DC and many of the states.
I'd get that gut checked !
I would guess that 75% of the people on this site and other sites like it don't want anything to do with either of the two major parties. They are looking for a true conservative and Palin has the star power to be that leader. I know that a thrid party is a long shot so is everything else that she has done.
Yes, Gene, it is a long shot but so was the thought of a free America when the Founding Fathers fought their fight…There are so many independents, angry Dems, particularly women, and the angry Republicans who felt betrayed by the parties….this fight is about power, not parties…it will happen.
You go, Jerseygal!!!!! Sic 'em Sarah!!!!!!!! Run right by all the usual candidates that are keeping still about what is being done to our country.
I believe that Sarah will spend her time well as usual. I believe she may work for conservatives, Reagan Republicans, independents, but never Democrats to get them elected to office. This would help stop the destruction of our country and if we still are able to vote in 2012 she will have much support. She should take about 10 minutes and learn what our glorious leader knows about foreign policy and statesmanship and then go on to far surpass him in these areas. If she stays the same woman she is now except for the growth (she doesn't need growth to be better than Obama) , I say SARAH PA LIN FOR PRESIDENT IN '12.
Good post. I think Sarah Palin will be the force that brings the Republican Party together. She will be the force that inspires Congressmen and Senators to rise up stronger against the BH0 agenda. She may become a consultant to conservative governors. And she just might lead a new energy independence movement in the country. She has accomplished much in that field, and is now free to take what she knows to the lower 48. I, too, have wondered from time to time if BH0 will simply announce that voting is unnecessary, and eliminate it.
I am a member of Florida 9/12. I wonder if we are all connected nationwide. Are we?
apparently.
Not having many followers? Neither is Illinois. We are not among kindred spirits. I lived in Florida as well….it is NOT the heart of America, and not a place where kindred spirits reside. I literally kissed the ground when I left that state…..and thanked God I got out of there. I'm waiting to kiss the ground when I leave this hell hole, because it's no different. But, in betwwen, I did learn and do know, we are not alone. It's not a dream or a fantasty….we are out here.

Yea you're in, from sea to shining sea kid, you have successfully infultrated the main nerve center of the Opposition! Are you shure you want to take the Red Pill? It's still not too late to change your mind!
I am looking at the amount of members we already have, about 800.000 plus. I assume that when we vote we are going to make a huge difference. If this movement keeps up this way, then I have no doubt the future is ours.LONG LIVE AMERICA
Have you ever noticed how most of these liberals columnists never provide a contact email? I don't know about good ole' Liz but my guess is she is so afraid of critical analysis of her shameful attacks on people that she has never even spoken to anyone outside of the sheeple clones who surround her. My mom was right: if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.
Let me see……The large crowds at the tea parties refuse to let politicians give their typical speeches….The day before the July 4th tea parties,Sarah Palin announces she will be stepping down as Governor of Alaska……I for one,am hoping that Sarah is planning on becoming the leader of this grassroots conservative movement……A message to all elitist country club republicans…..you can join us or you can keep whats left of your silly republican party and drift off into the wilderness….its up to you.
I called and invited my Rep. to come to ours…..they were flattered, until I told them, it was not to speak, but to listen….LOL
I agree with you and Gene Uecker. We need to start a new party. I suggest we call it THE PATRIOT PARTY.
You can darn well bet that's why the White House as so silent immediately after Sarah's announcement.
One of the ladies on CNN snidely said, "Well, if Gov. Palin expected to slip this by us by announcing it in front of a holiday weekend, she was wrong."
Really… are journalists REALLY this DUMB or do they just pretend to be on TV?
Palin knows her every move is being watched, and I think she deliberately did this during the next round of tea parties.
Whether she joins the movement or not, she'd certainly make a great spokesgal/hockeymom!!!

That's ironic considering all of the things they let the their guy get by around 5pm on Fridays.
I am laughing my azz off. On fox, there is one Republican after another slam Palin. They are subtle slams, but they are throwing her under the bus. If the Republicans and Democrats don't like her, she's got to be doing something right. Keep it up Sarah, you've got many independent supporters.
Greta/Fox had an interesting special on last night about Palin. She turned in a couple crooked republican politicians. She is a true patriot and honest (probably only one) politician. That is why they are all against her. Which gives me even more reason to vote for her. I am going to try to contact her and let her know that if she runs for a national office, I would like to volunteer to work on her campaign in any way I can.
She will have to chase off volunteers with a stick.
Yes, you and a few hundred thousand others
Yes, you and a few hundred thousand others
including me.
Bailin' Palin QUIT because one of two things she wants to make a lot of money or she will be indicted on a kickback scheme.
You must be afraid of her, too.
I would LOVE for her to run in 2012. I couldn't ask for anyone better . So afraid, hardly !!
We should be doing our own digging , like on all who attack her , lets see what they have to hide and who supports their attacks . Sarah Palin needs us as much as we need her . She has my support .

Everybody, pack it up and head over to Sarah's facebook page, all the patriots and real Americans are showing up there in DROVES, I can't believe my eyes with the posts over there. UNREAL, She's packing so much support the Facebook servers are smokin'. http://www.facebook.com/sarahpalin?v=wall&vie...
We asked for a leader, and here she is, now lets get busy!!!!
Sarah feels she has a "higher calling" and her lawyer is talking lawsuit against the Alaskan blogger who filed all the bogus ethics complaints.
YOU GO GIRL!
The republican males are corrupt wimps… the party's salvation may come wearing heels and lipstick. OR Sarah may invigorate conservatives and libertarians in fly-over country to start a NEW party!
My heart is lighter than it has been in a long time.
As far as the despicable Moron Dowd: She and the entire NY Times trash are circling the drain. WHO CARES!
Glenn has continually asked, "what politician will stand up for us?" I think Sarah Palin has answered that call. The barbarians are at the gate, and someone has to take the lead against this new fascism. Some pundits say she should ride out her term as Governor, as if this election has turned over the reins of government to a benign political power, so just go with the flow. Well it hasn't. Where are the Republican leaders? Romney, who I like, is staying within the normal power structure, and not standing up as a leader, i.e., he's being conventional. Conventional won't cut it. I believe that Sarah Palin understands this, and will be stepping forward into a vacuum created by lack of testosterone within the Republican party. She has an opportunity to be a rallying point, and push, via popular sentiment within the non-Fascist electorate, necessary change within the Republican party, to re-route its progressive journey back to one that reflects the real America. I hope I'm right.
The lipstick has been put away, and her attorney is going after those who believe freedom of speech is freedom to slander. We now have someone with the courage to go after these people…finally! FBI agent in charge in AK has stated emphatically that there is no investigation of Sarah, period.
Thanks for the reply. The left has no idea what may be unleashed on them in the near future.
Yesterday I told my daughter that we now have a chance to renew what it means to be an American. At a 4th of July Tea Party I heard the term 'Born again American' and will be using it from here on out. Go Sarah !
IntenseDebate Notification <DIV>I realize that is where your movement would like things to go, but you are a little ahead of your schedule. If Sarah goes to your political prison camp I will go with her and we will bust out. Enjoy the Lord's day. See you for the next round.</DIV> <DIV style=\”FONT: 10pt arial\”>
My hopes for 'advancing in a different direction' is that she will get a big fat whistle and start blowing and naming names. Not having responsibility for Alaska will free her tongue . . . and I hope she starts saying what she's wanted to say all along. McCain muzzled her – now she's free. Go Sarah, speak for us.
The only thing that makes any political sense is that Sarah is planning to run for President as an independent or a thrid party canidate. Thrid parties are usually not very sucessful in the US but with so many people angry at both the Democrats and the Republicians, she might be able to make it work.
She is not running for anything. She can not handle it she is a prima donna .
That does not make any sense. She will not abandon the Republican Party, even though many in it have abandoned her. Third party is dead in the water for 2012. Maybe if one starts now, and really works at and perseveres, a third party will be ready for a serious WH run by, maybe, 2020. Third party candidates cannot even make it to Congress or the Senate in any numbers, so what makes you think the WH is remotely possible in the near future?
It time for us to put Third party candidates In and stop letting them tell us it a wasted vote.
If I lived in Alaska, I would encourage secession from the lower 48. They are a fiscally responsible state whose people are abused by the bureaucrats in DC. Then Sarah could become President of Alaska and show the rest of us how to do energy, fiscal restraint and conservatism.
“I am now looking ahead and how we can advance this country together with our values of less government intervention, greater energy independence, stronger national security, and much-needed fiscal restraint," —Source Sarah Palin Facebook posting 7/4/09
Having just read that Sarah Palin is ready to take on a higher calling on the national level to help return America to a position of power and to get us back on track, I am estatic…There will be lawsuits against defamers and false rumor merchants….yeeeeehaaaaaa…..for all you morons who were talking about her quitting…eat your words…Sarah is coming for your a$$e$. I love it. Oh ye of little faith, drop to your knees and start begging…if you have prob lems assuming the position, I have a hammer and will be glad to help you out. Yes, indeed. Long live Liberty.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW! Back at you!
Where is the 'ACLU'?
Republicans that cannot co opt us, or do not think we are numerically prominent in their districts will degrade us like the kool aid drinkers of the state run media will, just as they have with Gov. Palin. They will do this to appear "centrist". I notice there is not as much, if anything, about the tea parties on FNC today unlike April 15th. You'd think the movement has not grown, let alone even taking place.
I notice that the tea party in my area has been grabbed by an 18 year old wannabe republican politician. He is sponsored and pushed out there by other prominent republicans for the "family business" to continue. The Republican Party left us, and now they fear us. They are trying to con us into believing they are, and always were all about us. Some may buy it, I think a vast majority will not. I expect this movement will grow regardless. When Hannity introduced Newt at Atlanta, Newt was booed. They don't get us.
The far-left has things like in Metblog – "Tea baggers take it on the chin in L.A." The far-left calls us domestic terror-ists. They call us racists. Cities and far-left property owners deny permits to us so that we cannot stand together, and let our collective voice sound in protest and solidarity. We will not stop. We will not be co opted. We will not surrender our principles and values to toe a party line, nor will we blindly vote along those lines. We are made up of all parties and all races. We are 9/12ers dammit, and we will not give in!
This post is more personal than political.
I run a retail store in Magee, Ms. That is 9 miles north of Steve McNair's home town of Mt. Olive. Steve only came to my store a few times but he has a huge family. Dozens of his Aunts, Uncles and cousins shop with me very often. His mother comes in about once a week. One would expect the family of a NFL hero to be really stuck up, but that family is not. They are down to earth Christian people.
It was a shock to learn that Steve McNair was murdered. My heart goes out to that great family. I am sure I will see many of them soon and will express my sorrow in person but I also want to make it public here too.
On national web sites like this people tend to think large scale, especially when talking about nationally known people. The trouble is that our nation was intended to be a collection of local areas. We want Sarah Palin to rise up and become a great national leader, but she knows that it is the local areas where the rubber really hits the road. I hope and suspect that she resigned as governor to help local conservative candidates win all across our fruited plains.
Now that a clown represents MN in the senate she may see it as her mission to save the senate in 2010. I suspect she will not only be in senate races but house races. (Watch Jack Murtha). If she has time she may even pick a few state legislature races to lend a small hand to.
Liberals are counting on conservatives to fall for the big tent lie. They want us to water down our conservative ideas to attract moderates who will not vote for us any way. I am sure Sarah Palin was telling McCain to embrace conservatives but he did not listen. Now she will take that message nation wide.
I may be wrong but if that is what she is up to dems better watch out.
the repubs ,thew Mitt under the bus,,with Mc cain.amd huckabee,last time,,bet they do it again,,and the media,won;t let go of the fact ,he;s a mormin..But on the other hand,,it could come out ,,that Obama is muslim,,ansd bow to meca,,3 times a day,,and the media,,would give it a pass.
I hear you Brother!
I was having the same problem of trying to figure out why so many are against her. I watched the Greta/Fox special tonight on Sarah. The one thing that struck me the most was that she was able to get some crooked politicians out of office. There are so many (most) politicians that are crooked, that between all of them and the media they have been able to press for this character assassination. That would explain why both Democrats and Republicans have joined in. So many people are gullable and believe what they see on TV, they just follow along. After this special, I am more for Sarah Palin than I ever have been.
Here here I agree Old Tex, some of these talking heads must have dodo for brains if they didn't get out of that speech what I distinctly saw in the eyes and heard with her mouth. It was, CRYSTAL CLEAR! She said that "apathy" was the biggest problem with the American People, she gave like 10 different clues that she WAS NOT a QUITTER and spoke of the decision being made after visiting the servicemen. She's putting on the gloves and coming into the ring folks, she's not going to let down the American Spirit by sitting by watching the Constitution and very foundation of this country be dynamited by the America/freedom hating disasters of Obama, Pelosi and Reid.
big bump for Sarah and America…
they fear her, jperhrlich, because she does not fear them. The behavior they exhibit is that of spiteful children afraid of a grownup who will hold their noses to the grindstone. She is the one hope for a peaceful resolution of this growing fight. Live Free or die.
FREE PALIN TO ATTACK THE SPEND ANDTAXAHOLICS IN WASHINGTON !
As long as Mark Sanford resides from his authority than yes he would be responsible, but i wouldnt even compare Sanford to admitting he cant keep it in his pants over and over again to Palin stepping aside to let perhaps a more qualified individual do the job. her best interest is for the people of alaska. Sanford just feels really guilty.
How about Romney/Palin in 2012. I had Christian friends who feared Romney because he is a mormen. But since I've listened to him every chance I get, I think he has the business savy our economy needs. I think he is more of an American than the guy in the White House now!!
SARAH PALANS SPEACH WAS A LIGHT IN THE DARDNESS OF OBAMA. HER SPEACH SHOULD BRING OBAMA TO HIS KNEES. SHE IS FAR SUPERIOR THAN HE. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE HER FOR PRESIDENT.
ANAME

Madazhell, one of the Bushs people called her a Kook? Jeez, they must have fallen farther than I thought if they have Perez the Poof as a spokesperson….priceless
priceless…bump for Sarah and a Free America.
LOl me too I am A very great fan of the Katana ,
Our Country has been infultrated and highjacked by a philosophy that is the Enemy of Freedom – A philosohy that is by design fataly parasitic to it's prey. This philosophy, and it's deciples, have so strengthened that they are now stepping on and crushing the throat of our sacred Liberty. Sarah Palin is The one last gasp of fresh air they would deny us. She is the one they know who can strengthen our resolve to stand, fight, and reclaim the rightful heritage as 'Free Americans' "We The People" are heir to.
‘They’ will not allow us to breath easy, they can not allow us to catch our breath, and They will stop at nothing to insure we don't. If Sara Palin has selflessly sacrificed her Governorship to remove her People, and the State of Alaska, from the line of relentless enemy fire, to give both her State and her Country as a whole the best shot at saving our Liberty, our Freedom and our Constitution, maybe just maybe, in the spirit of our Independence, she has won us our chance to breath deep and gather our strength!
Very well said and I truly believe that her strong beliefs in the consttution will lead the way to her becoming a strong leader for Ameria and it's true Americans. The socialist democrats should be making reservations elsewhere.
Has Glenn ever thought getting into a political arena? Just curious. He is a patriot, has the mike, he is smart and most of the people like him. I would backing him up. Just a thought.
Sarah Baracuda wil be there to bite your commie butt when the time comes.
Oh my gosh, could you imagine if she were the next Pelosi? Congress would actually start making educated decisions. "Let's read the bill, discuss, cross out the garbage and only accept the common sense facts".
I hope she brings some folks with big sticks with her!!!!
