Obama Sweeping Victory? | 5:13 p.m. July 3, 2009
Please, Lord, NOOOOOO!!!!!
Obama is doing the same thing Roosevelt did -- turn a two year downturn into a full blown depression, and keeping us in it for 9 years.

She quit.... get it! | 5:20 p.m. July 3, 2009
When you ask people to support you for office, you owe it to those who put their
faith in you to live up to what you said you will do. This seems to be a
running trend with republicans, do what's right for them in the moment,
rather than living up to the commitments they made.
She says she is doing this for others. Bull.
Say it for what it is, no more political bs. Live up to your commitments, either in your job, or in marriage. To me, it feels like she just wants to get in on the republican speaking tour with all the rest - and bank on her current name. Nothing wrong with it, many do it. Just finnish the job first.

What is it with my Grand Old Party...first we select a Democrat turned
Independant,turned Repbulican who turns right around and picks who was supposed
to be the Fairy Princess of the North and put them together on a losing
ticket....Now after the Fairy Princess turned out to be instead the Wicked Witch
of the West the GOP is going back to Oz and visit the Wizard again. Burning

For the idiotic media to now stoop to new lows. The fiasco with our current
POTUS shows that they are nothing but Freedom Hating people and now to have to
deal with Palin on a greater national basis. Yep, watch the media frenzy to
grow to new depths of depravity.

As an Alaskan and a resident of Wasilla I found it interesting to find when
traveling out East over the Christmas holidays this past year that the majority
of the people that I met really believed that Sarah Palin had said that she
could see Russia from her house. That, of course, came not from Sarah Palin but
Tina Fey...leading one to wonder who the real idiots are.
Lindy | 5:48 p.m. July 3, 2009
There was a post about how bad things would have been if McCain had won, died
and then Palin would become President-what about our situation now?! If
anything happens to Obama we have a lying fool for President(Biden). When Obama
announced that Biden would be his running mate, I knew our country was in
trouble if he won the election.
It is deplorable for people to take shots at anyone's children, and I know that if my children had been the victims of the type of comments that were used to attack Palin's children, I would be really upset. What is wrong with people who bring children into the fighting ring? Why not have bones to pick with the adults who run for office? I certainly don't want Obama's children to be attacked verbally, even though I do not support Obama's political ideas.

At least she was woman enough to fall gracefully. If only Palin would have taken
lessons from Hillary, Pelosi and Reno in becoming constipated with her looks,
then perhaps we would have had a winner.
What's the poor media going to do now that Palin is no longer a threat to them??????

Read Branchflower Report | 6:20 p.m. July 3, 2009
If anyone wants a detailed look at the Palin family and how much of a disaster
it would be to let them in the White House, just read the Stephen Branchflower
report that was published before last year's election. This report
describes many of the immoral and bizarre actions of the entire Palin family in
an effort to get Sarah's former brother in law (Wooten) fired from the
state trooper (police). Illegal or not, the Palins' actions are just
WEIRD!!! I will give you just a few examples:
1. Todd Palin follows Wooten out into the wilderness and takes pictures of him hunting to prove Wooten's back is not hurt and he should not be getting paid time off (but Wooten in fact had permission from his doctor to go hunting).
2. Todd Palin takes pictures of Wooten dropping his children off at school in his police cruiser hoping to get him fired (again, Wooten had permission from the police chief to transport his children in the police cruiser).
3. Governor Palin lets her husband use her office and HR resources to request interviews with and interview and pressure various state officials to fire Wooten...

Bingo! You got it! Had Sarah ran against McCain, Romney, and Duncan Hunter,
she would have won the ticket. The only road block would have been Huckabee.
Sarah Palin is a breath of fresh air in a Party that has abandoned it's conservative roots.

What the USA needs.... | 6:37 p.m. July 3, 2009
The USA, more than ever, needs a very effective Conservative movement. The
Liberals are trashing this country. I am grateful for Sarah and all others who
are devoting their time and talents to restore and maintain what our Founding
Fathers built.
Weird | 6:41 p.m. July 3, 2009
It is really weird that she would resign just like that....
Tell you what, though, if she is intending to run for POTUS she did herself no favors:
* She isn't going to run again, so she is resigning because she doesn't want to be a lame duck governor.
What happens mid-way through her second term as POTUS (if she does get elected and re-elected)?
* She doesn't want to run again because of job pressures and family obligations.
How does that say she is going to be able to handle the even more strenuous job of POTUS?
Romney and Gingrich are going to have heydays with those statements, never mind what Dems are going to do with them....

The real Sarah Palin is so brilliant that the liberal media has done everything
in their power to destroy her. They scrambled her sentences into strings of
incoherent fragments. They invented bizarre names for her children and put them
center stage at the Republican Convention. The liberal media even took a shot at
abstinence only education by inventing an out of wedlock pregnancy for Governor
Palin's daughter. They made her say stupid things.
Is there any wonder the real Sarah Pain would walk away from all the lies? What will she do next. She's go figure out a plan and bring it to us.

No more Palin! What a great thing! I just hope she doesn't decide to make a
comeback or run for president. She is definitely someone that we don't
need. John McCain's revenge on America would have been Sarah Palin.

I like Sarah a lot. She's been really unfairly treated. She's very
smart and very capable.
BUT......I can't imagine that she could be taken seriously as a presidential candidate at this point. You just don't quit in the middle of the term and be considered as a presidential nominee.
Maybe something has happened but, I think Sarah just can't stand putting her family through this any more. Those slimes who have viciously attacked her and her family really have a lot to answer for.

Palin in 2012? YES, YES, YES. Someone who has family values, no nonsence
political values, and is loyal to their spouse. Now that's three good
reasons to support her in 2012.
Jann | 7:11 p.m. July 3, 2009
I voted for McCain/Palin ticket because I felt they were the better choice than
Obama. I think McCain chose Palin so he could get more votes from women. I think
it is very early to consider who is running for 2012 because Obama just got put
in office a few months ago. I hope that she would give more time to her family
with her special little guy. Oh well, guess everyone starts to think about
hopping on the bandwagon. We have even gotten calls for people wanting to run
for govenor of the state I live in and the election is still a long ways away. I
wish her the best in her future endeavors whatever they be.

Stop with your liberal tirades against Sarah Palin. I can't believe you
liberals. Quit picking on a female politician that you don't know anything
about! You people can't tell the truth. Heck, you wouldn't know the
truth if it stared you in the face.
You liberals time in charge is going to shortly be over! "Your President" has taken this country down the tubes. Highest unemployment ever, yet, "If you vote for my stimulus plan, unemployment will not go over 8%." Mr. President, you have taken over our banking industry. 52 banks have gone belly up. Twice the number of bank failures than last year, You have taken over 2 out of the three biggest auto businesses in this country. You are attempting to take over the health insurance care industry. What else are you going to ruin before you are Thrown Out Of Office? You liberals don't make any sense. Don't talk about politics. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Sarah Palin our new President | 7:42 p.m. July 3, 2009
WE LOVE YA SARAH PALIN. I think the Republicans are committing political suicide
right before our eyes. Out of Iraq's frying pan, into an economic fire.
Johnny comes marching home to no job. Sarah Palin is the last hope for the GOP
to return to conservatism and not this wishy-washy corrupt liberal party that
has been infested with supporters of John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Rudy
Guiliani. Huckabee will come out as a closet atheist. Even though I voted for
her in 2008, and liked her, at that time, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she is
resigning from office on July 26th 2009 ?. GOP Steele hates her guts, and would
never support her as a run for President in 2012, and she don't have the
funds to do it on her own. Instead of using valid arguments to challenge her
[Ms. Palin] leadership idealogies, skills, the american taliban (IE: msDNC,
letterman, national dnc) uses libel/slander and ethic complaints to log jam any
social progress to take place in gov't. Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin abruptly
announced she is resigning from office at the end of the month, and will be OUR
next President.

McCain supporters are part of the vast liberal conspiracy against this poor

As a liberal. I hope she runs. She is the best hope we have of going two for two in the presidential race.
We might have Mccain if it hadn't been for Palin.
I love this conservative position that women are too weak to be expected to hold up under the examination of America's press. Bill Clinton handle the lies from conservatives Arkansas Project.

I 100% fully support Sarah. She is a breath of fresh air. She understands one of
our biggest problems. Energy. She would be a great help to this country to
finaly become energy independant from our enimies. I fully inderstand why a lot
of peolple hate her. She has the right values and is not afraid to stand up for
them. While obama got a free pass from the medai Sarah got hammered by the lefty
nut case media. Sarah and her family have been attacked in every poissbile way.
It was not fair or balanced. It was disgracefull. I voted for sarah not John Mc
Cain. I wll support her in any way I can. I do not think she is ready to be
President however I am 100% certain Obama is not ready and is on a fast track
to destroy our country. Pretty soon our government will own the banks, car
companies and everything else. Our founding father would turn over in their
graves if they saw this day and this president. For those of you who voted for
obama lets see in a few months of you still feel good about it.

I like Sarah Palin but she is not Presidential. She has done nothing but attack
her critics since the election. She is defensive and cannot let a negative
report go by without defending herself. She should not answer her critics, and
they would stop. I get tired of hearing her constantly in the news. This is the
reason the media is attacking her because they can get a reaction out of her. It
is not mature, and she should drop it. She could never run for president or she
would not get anything done. She said she spent 80% of her time and a lot of
money on these complaints filed against her as govenor. I can believe that. She
just could not do that as president. She appeared to want to go on her own when
she ran with McCain. After all McCain was the presidential nominee, and he
called the shots. Palin openly disagreed with him, and that would carry on in
the White House. Conservatives need to be realistic. You have to have more than
the conservative vote to win the WH.

Well, there is precedent for short term governors running for president and
winning.
Grover Cleveland served one term as governor of New York before winning the Presidential election of 1884. Theodore Roosevelt served one term as governor of New York before winning the vice presidential election of 1900. Samuel Tilden served as governor of New York for one term before his nomination for president in 1876. Franklin Roosevelt served for two terms as governor of New YOrk before winning the presidential election of 1932.
Thomas Dewey and Nelson Rockefeller served as governor of New York for two years before they ran for the presidency. Reagan served as governor of California for 2 years before he ran for the presidency.
None of them resigned as governor, though.
A few years as governor of Out in the Boondocks is not the same thing as governor of New York or California, either. I do not know what Palin is thinking here, but it is not rational.

Politicians need to be reminded, when they say they will stay in office for the
full term, i expect them to be there. HUNTSMAN and PALIN come to mind in GOP
circles for poster children of not wanting to stay.
Huntsman was called to serve, and that is what we want from ANY US citizen. When you are asked to serve your country, you don't need to ask any questions. 4 years in Taiwan will do him some good.
Palin is just a joke, like BLago before her.

Walking the walk? | 9:23 a.m. July 4, 2009
A previous poster stated GovernorPalin "Walks and walk." I personally
find it a little confusing.
Example she talks about all the waste in the federal government and last week the state of Alaska accepted $24,000,000 from the federal government to build an airport for a village of 46 people 300 miles west of Fairbanks.
Come on be realistic. Isn't this a little like the bridge to nowwhere that she badmouthed on the campaign?
She may talk the talk but in my opinon this is an example of not walking the walk.

I truly hope she has resigned to take care of her family.
However, I fear that there is more to the story and that there may be an indictment for embezzlement in the near future. A complete look into the concurrent construction of her home and the Wasilla Sports Complex may be leading somewhere bad.

To All Liberals | 10:07 a.m. July 4, 2009
I don't know exactly where or when the study was done that proved
liberalism adds to one's IQ, but your smug, pseudo-intellectual ramblings
(complete with spelling and grammar errors) is getting stale.
Wake up, and realize there are smart people on both sides of the argument and plenty of dumb people to go around for both parties.
Palin was/is not ready for the national scene but neither was Obama - and that's proving itself out right now. That said, Palin deserved much better than she got from the national media and low-IQ people like David Letterman.
Now here's a fact - liberalism doesn't work anywhere, anytime, ever. If it has, please state your case.
Why would I have pursued three college degrees and risked starting my own business to live the same standard of living as some schmo who is doing the minimum and wants to take as much out of the system as possible?
Keep on fooling yourselves in assuming you have the upper hand when it comes to intellect and - ha-ha - street smarts. I still haven't met a liberal who can make change for a $5.

Anyone who calls those who voted for Obama an idiot and then turns around and states that they would vote for Palin really needs to go take a good long look in the mirror.
