We should all be pretty repulsed by what was done to Palin. I never thought she was perfect; I just thought she'd make a great president.
The political left made it their mission to destroy not only her but her family. This is what totalitarians have always done. You take out the enemy and his (her) children to make sure they don't come back for revenge.
The only way to stop this is to deliver the liberals the most sweeping political repudiation in American history. We need to defeat them utterly in the next two elections.
I hope it happens. We need to do it not only for ourselves but for Sarah Palin, whose only "crime" was posing a threat to the liberal acquisition and wielding of power.
We should all be pretty repulsed by what was done to Palin.
Repulsed, appalled and disgusted are just a few words. The Left and the Media make me sick.
I just listened to an audio over at Conservatives4Palin where she was asked, essentially, is it worth all the crap she takes. Listen to her answer and tell me that she is a quitter.
John Ziegler asks Gov Palin about Leaving Public Life
I think she's crazy like a fox.
They tried to make her irrelevant by bogging her down and wasting her time and money with baseless ethics charges. They thought she'd stay on defense forever and never get her voice heard, other than to respond to another potshot by the leftists.
She's not playing their game anymore. Like Meg Stapleton said...they put their block up and don't even recognized that she's done an endrun around them for the easy layup. Listening to Stapleton, I really felt she was trying to keep herself from announcing Palin's running for 2012.
Sarah is not a quitter. She will now be free to do what's best for Alaska and for America without having to be encumbered by a role as a besieged lame duck.
So I'll agree with Levin on this one and disagree with HotAir, Ace, Geraghty, Goldberg, Lowry..etc. I think they might be too "inside" to see what's in front of them and I think they don't know how to respond to someone who stands on principle and does what's best for her family, Alaska...and soon...AMERICA.

From what I understand, there have been a good many Alaska politicians, who have come to the conclusion that they would have been better off if they had not made Sarah Palin mad at them. I look forward to the day when many more of the leftists in America say that.
Sarah served as a great governor in Alaska, and nearly everyone agreed until she was nominated as the VP candidate. Then, people came out of the woodwork to hate and criticize her.
Yes, Tom, repulsed is the right word. Alaska is the loser in this matter -- Sarah was just what we needed!
.
We haven't seen the end of Sarah Palin by a long shot! She is a lady to be reckoned with!
I can say Tom that I'm viscerally angry for the first time in months -- the treatment of this amazing woman is simply disgraceful.
On the other thread, there are leftist fools who are clearly misogynistic and cruel -- horrible people with no sense of decorum.
I wish her the best, and I'll keep her in my prayers.
The best case scenario.
- Obama gets kicked out for ineligibility now or veryvery soon.
- The Congress gets charged for misprision of felony and you get rid of them.
- You get a new election right away.
- Palin becomes POTUS with Dr Alan Keyes as a V.P.
Now THAT would be an historical election!
Well, folks, think about it. What are the two fastest growing political movements in the country? That's right, the Tea Parties and the 10th Amendment movement. Read her press release - does that sound like she's quitting politics? I predict she will start raising money for, and campaigning for, legislators, governors and attorneys general who will take the fight to Imperial Washington DC. If the folks she supports do well in 2010, she's got a whole nuther way to the presidency and the Washington elites of both parties will be out in the cold. There's a new sheriff in town.
Mavericks know when to get out the spotlight. Sarah is asharp shooter. Too many were aiming at the bullseye. And she was in their crosshairs. Sarah Palin is regrouping.
The only time true Mavericks quit is when they are making a sacrfice for the TEAM. Her language was very symbolic. She did this to show her independence of conventional politics. Sarah Palin is a Maverick!!!!!!
Jack Okie | 07.03.09 - 7:40 pm | #
I agree with you. Dr Alan Keyes is already part of the 10th Amendment movement.
And by now, Sarah knows that Obama is a usurper... she will get him out, I am sure.
No way this was this woman going to sit around Alaska and take the bashing from the liberal press while she sees her country goes down the drain. THis woman is going to campaign for conservatives and save America from Obama socialist delusions. This move may cost her the Presidency but she is saving a nation. Go Sarah!!!
The left has been viciously attacking Palin because they are afraid, and even more so now with their bumbling fool in office raping the economy and destroying any chance for another leftist to get elected as president for generations to come.
I will gladly pull the lever for Palin in '12 if she decides to run. At least she's ran a state... all Obama's run is his damn mouth.
The best case scenario.
- Obama gets kicked out for ineligibility now or veryvery soon.
- The Congress gets charged for misprision of felony and you get rid of them.
- You get a new election right away.
- Palin becomes POTUS with Dr Alan Keyes as a V.P.
Craig | 07.03.09 - 7:37 pm | #
And Ann Coulter as press secretary just to make the Left cringe even more.
Sarah will become POTUS much earlier than 2012 and even before 2010... have faith. This woman knows how to kick out the butts of corrupted politicians.
We have watched as the worst America has to offer trashed a family that is about as close to the best America has to offer as you'll ever see. It's the nature of evil to revile against those that are good and decent. Honest Americans are not deceived by the attacks on her and if I am ever fortunate enough to vote for her I look forward to a time when this soon to be worst President ever is powerless to defame and denigrate this great nation ever again.
Wherever she leads, I'm gonna follow....perhaps the only decision the GOP needs to make is who will be her VP running mate. Hillary, eat your heart out. Palin would NEVER give her delegates away in a close presidential race, let alone give them away to a usurper! Wasn't it Hillary herself who said that BHO was ineligible to be president? Even Bill Clinton hemmed and hawed and tried to dodge that question before finally giving a lukewarm (unconvincing) affirmative.
I hope it happens. We need to do it not only for ourselves but for Sarah Palin, whose only "crime" was posing a threat to the liberal acquisition and wielding of power.
Tom W.
100% Agree
Craig, I need to apologize to you for my behavior. I'm sorry. I said really terrible things to you, which was wrong.
Last night I read the most horrifying hatred of my life, on the Cynthia McKinney thread, and it opened my eyes. I don't want to be a part of that, and I especially don't want to be responsible for making you hesitate about posting here.
You were right: We're on the same side. And you we're right: My actions were bullying and thuggish. I'm sorry. I have no excuses. I took it to a crazy extreme.
It's not necessary for you to accept my apology or even comment on it. I just want you to know that I promise I won't attack you that way again. It was wrong.
You and I will never agree on things, but that doesn't matter. I just hope that you won't feel intimidated from speaking your mind. Please feel free to post whatever you want on all the threads. I had no right to say the things I said about you. I'm sorry.
You were also right about Crystal. She is a very nice person. It was her influence that made me see that what I was doing was wrong. I won't do it again.
Happy Independence Day.
By the way, I also apologized to bg.
I want a Sarahcuda in the White House not the current jellyfish.
Bones....Thank you for that link!
Washington has become even more corrupt in the last few months than alaska was. It seems the Senators conviction in alaska was over turned and there are 2 more cases of corrupt prosecutions. Now Gov Palin can talk about her being falsely accused. Sarah lived near wasilla and worked in Juneau. That is a long trip to the capital.
On the other thread, there are leftist fools who are clearly misogynistic and cruel -- horrible people with no sense of decorum.
Richard Romano | 07.03.09 - 7:34 pm | #
MOST of them. And most liberals, too, for that matter. To hell with them.
Tom W. | 07.03.09 - 8:00 pm .
Melted my heart.
Yes, you did.
Not many people are willing to humble themselves like that.
That's a sign of great chraracter.
Of course, it comes as no suprise to me
I think she lays low for at least a year, but then comes to the surface supporting her conservative ideals. I think all of this "her career is dead" is a bit premature.
Wait until that book comes out. Pres. Bush's book will come out soon as well. Both of them could be problems for DC.
Palin will now be free to bash at will. If I were Obama I would be crapping my pants.
GO SARAH!
Pat,
I agree. But I hope the liberals think she's done.
I wnat them to be caught off guard in a major way.
A HuffPo article that was beyond despicable has been removed from that website . . . for good reason. However, it has been saved at Free Republic. In case you haven't heard about this latest disgusting thing from the lefties, here is a link.

My pleasure, Monkey!
I've given this a lot of thought today and frankly, I think some pseudo conservative and even genuine conservative bloggers/posters/pundits are a little too smart for their own good.
I've never seen a lib apologize like Tom did. Ever.
Craig is weird, but he isn't a lib.
Crystal is of course, a very nice lady.
Carry on.
What are your Palin dream tickets?
Here are mine:
Sarah Palin/Lynn Cheney
Sarah Palin/Col. Allen West
Sarah Palin/Michelle Bachmann
What's yours?
Sarah Palin/Paul Ryan
Sarah Palin has more class in her pinky than the entire Democrat party.
AMEN! AMEN! Tom W@ 7:09p.m. You are so right. I am with you!
Watched the movie you recommended too. The Manchurian Candidate and I've thought that was going on here for some time. I have a lot of thoughts about that type of thing going on in our country but usually don't say much because people think I'm to radical but I think people just don't want to face the reality of what is really going on behind our backs! I think there was a whole lot of brain washing going on in this election. I believe what happened to Sarah Palin and her family was just utterly disgusting. The media is bought and paid for by George Soros and they will bankrupt anyone that tries to stop this madness! Okay I'm done!
Hope all have a good safe 4th of July and try to celebrate what it's really all about! OUR FREEDOMS!!!! While we still have them! Good luck to Sarah and her family! She would have made a good President! Maybe she still will!!

God Bless America.
Jimi, it's just how liberals are.
They are hateful and bigoted. They "project" their hatred on others.
What the entire left attempted to do to the Palin family is vile and it just confirms how low liberals are.
I am certainly disappointed by this news, but do understand completely that she may well be sick of the attacks on her family by the putrid vomit that makes up most of the American media and so-called entertainment establishment.
How could anyone be expected to endure this type of treatment? How could any mother be asked to repeatedly defend her children against the worst this so-called compassionate and tolerant society slings their way day after day, week after week?
I am today, truly ashamed to call myself an American...and tomorrow is July the 4th! What do we have to celebrate? Freedoms? Freedom of Speech? Or, is it the freedom to slander and malign those who cannot defend themselves; a one year child who’s only want in life is the love of his family. How sick we are that the children of our leaders (Republicans/Conservatives/Christians),and society-at-large have become targets for far-left anti-American, immoral, and unethical filth that cannot wage intelligent opposition, who cannot debate with civility and purpose. What kind of society breeds this sickness?
Then there are the endless, mindless, and, baseless attacks against her and her staff have adversely affected her capability to lead effectively. How can she be expected to run the State of Alaska when she and her staff have to devote 80% of their daily activities to fighting Democratic (and her own Party RINO’s) assassins? She is right, why should Alaskans have to pay for this? Especially the cost's (over $2M), involved in defending against these attacks. That figure does not include the man-hours her staff (State Payroll) and her lawyers ($$$) have put into defending against the Democratic assault. She is over $500K in debt for what?
I ask all...and especially the liberal far-left scum in this God forsaken country.... can you take this heat?
God bless Sarah Palin and her family. May they live to see a better, brighter America.
Enough talk about Sarah Palin, can't we just get back to discussing Michelle Obama's toned arms, her THUNDEROUS BUTTOX, and maybe her 7th grade quality Princeton Thesis??

I saw a t-shirt yesterday that made me laugh,
MEAT IS MURDER
tasty tasty murder.
Palin is smarter then these Ivi league ideologes -- she is playing the role of Nixon in 1966.
What happened 2 years later?
The Left, in their hate, made us love Sarah even more.
By the way, can we kick Andrew Sullivan out before 2012?

JSF, The elites in the Democrat party are bigots. Palin isn't one of them.
Opie is. They actually believe that if their degree is from an Ivy League school, they are smarter and brighter.
But that rule didn't apply to George Bush.
Liberals are bigots. Palin didn't fit into their world view.

Let's not forget trend-setting fashion!
There is a growing movement of those disgusted with politics as usual and tired of having their pockets picked looking for a national voice to express their belief that our founding document and constitution are not, as Obama would say, just words. Have a feeling the jobs her's if she wants it.
Yeah she's a regular Jackie Kennedy.
Without the looks or class.
gus, ol buddy, Jackie Kennedy was neither good looking, nor did she have class. What she had was snootiness.
Palin has enthusiasm and savy.
We don't really know why she announced today, but we'll know for sure soon, I'd bet.
OT: This is really kind of cool. Be sure to play the video.
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/home...-
exclusive.html
Joe ol buddy, Jackie Bouvier was classier than any Kenney heretofore, she was clearly quite pretty,
BUT HERE IS THE KICKER!!!!
I was comparing Jackie to Michelle Obama!!
Palin is a wonderful lady. She is a real American woman and she is anythingn but snooty!
The day McCain picked Palin, I thought he was going to win.
BECAUSE of her. Unfortunately HOPE and CHANGE was the winner last November.
Anyway, if you thought I was dissing Sarah Palin, nothing could be further from the truth. She is real, she is a leader and she isn't an incompetant community organizing dimwit.
I just read a very good statement on another website. "nothing wrong with being hated by these reprobates" . . . talking about the HuffPo. Gov. Palin should wear it as a badge of honor.
They hate that which they are not.
Good.
Moral.
Patriotic,
and Capable.
Liberals have become monsters of their own creation. They feed on those who they pretend to care about, and they hate anyone who points out their weak amoral stands.
I weep for America Past. Gov. Palin and her family represent an America that no longer exists; an America where citizens tried to live by the golden rule. America's Present is represented by the EVIL MONSTERS of the MSM, DEMOCRATS, and the poor puppet in our White House. America's Future can be seen by looking backward at the failed Soviet Union. I am grateful I have lived my life in Past America.
Tom,
Yes we are on the same side. We just don't agree on the solutions to fix this problem. Beag deal!
But hey! Who needs an echo chamber anyway? The more opinions, the better.
I am more pragmatic and conservative. For me, the Constitution is the law of the land and it should always be respected and never trampled. I have ZERO tolerance for people who spit on it like Obama and his croonies.
I am the type of man to act at the beginning of a wrong doing, so things will not get out of control. I think a bit like Churchill when he said:
“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
I am a wise "old" man, I do not trust the bum in the Oval Office. I want no one to give Obama a chance for his evil doing to succeed. I especially do not want people to give him the time to get really organised. I want him out NOW.
I believe that: "The longer you wait, the tougher the battle, the higher the price."
I have a gut feeling that Obama will rig the 2010 election... and will steal the 2012... if there is one. I sincerely believe there will be no America to take back in 2012. By that time it will be completely destroyed.
I think that Usurper in Chief will install Martial law as soon as he will be really afraid of the right wing "terrorists" (Tea protesters, pro-lifers and Birthers)and will provoke a crisis that will justify it.
This is why I am constantly trying to shake your walls of inerty and warning you not to be so complacent, tolerant or over confident.
It is done with good intentions, never to insult you. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
So I accept your apology Tom, if it is really you who wrote that post. Never know for sure on this site... lol.
If it is you, then fine! This way, I will not have to insult you back and this blog will be a fantastic place to exchange opinions. I will be very happy with it.
I hate arguing, fighting and insulting. These are not my things. This is why I never answer to leftists. Glad that this is over.
Thanks!
Happy Independance Day, Tom!
Happy Independance Day to all Americans.
I offer you Steve Vaus song, re-written this year to fit the White House situation:
WE MUST TAKE AMERICA BACK
Get'er Back
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=c...n.wordpress.com
P.S.: And of course, I could have hold back on insulting you back. Sorry! But hey... who said I was perfect? Certainly not me...LOL
The old America still exists. And it will rise again.
I do not need nor do I want anything from Democrats. I want ARMED FORCES,
good roads, Fire and Police protection, and I want the government to leave me the hell alone otherwise.
Libs want to control the purse strings so they can reward those they keep in bad schools and without good jobs.
Libs have fixed NOTHING in 40 years of pretending to care.
Craig, I missed the action last night, but I hope you accept Tom's apology. I have never met better more decent blog posters than on this blog. We all have our moments, but I'll tell you this Craig. I am a very very good judge of character and Tom, Crystal, Chisum, Jim and others here are quite good folks.
Mechelle Robinson Obama whitey hater is behind this relentless attack on Gov Sarah Palin. She's been operating behind the scenes on numerous issues, threats to others and cabinet appointments for a long time now. She wants complete control and well..we all know she hates America and white people and she controls her closeted gay husband. Her Harvard education didn't do shat for her because she doesn't know the ARABS are responsible for selling Africans into slavery. She is one hateful lady. We do not need her or him. We were better off even with idiot Bush..but hey, Bush freed Iraq from tyranny.
Yay!!!
Craig, that was Tom!
Do you forgive me too?
Gov. Palin said Alaska will be better off without her as Governor and she is correct. The JUMPING EVIL coming at her and her family costs Alaska far too much in money and time lost defending against frivolous law suits. For now, the SCREAMING, DROOLING, VOMITING, CURSING EVIL of letterman, couric, etc has won a decisive victory over goodness and kindness and rational life on Earth. In all truth Gov. Palin is wise to get her family out of HARM'S WAY.
Charliegirl. Governor Palin did her best for Alaska. She did a great job and she is very able.
That doesn't matter in politics. Even in Alaska.
Liberals are vile. They will destroy anything that gets in their way if they can.
I eat liberals for breakfast. I once was a Democrat and I know liberals from the inside out. Once I learned their dishonesty, I knew how to squash them.
Gus,
Please ignore.
him.
"SCREAMING, DROOLING, VOMITING"
They were speaking of what Obama has been doing since Palin's announcement. He knows she's coming for his job and he's scared, very, very scared.
Mr Blonde, please keep up, you are starting to annoy people with your silly off the wall cynical banter. Ugh
Crystal, Mrs.Blonde is dead to me.
The fact that he/it is sick, logically makes me conclude that he/it cannot help him/its self.
It's clearly a Mama's boy desperately in need of attention or a copy of his Uncles old issues of Playboy to take his mind of his pain. And loneliness.

I have nothing against you. I know you like and sides with Tom. I can understand this. Besides, I am not the rancorous type. Life is too short for that.
This is probably why I want Obama out NOW... so I won't have to hate him till 2012 ... or for life. Hating someone is such a burden. Let's get rid of him now and get over with that hatred.
A.J. Strata has a name for these vitriol laced left wingnuts.

Chisum,
I can think of a few names....
Now now, little one. Mustn't lower ourselves to their level.

Attacking a child, ridiculing a baby is pretty high-brow and is definitely reserved for Democrats.
I wonder which Ivy League school Mrs. Blonde attended!!
Ahahahahahahahahahahaahahaha!!!
Ankle-Biter sounds about right.

Craig, the word "illegitimate" is rarely used in America's Media with regards to Jesse Jackson nor Johnny the Hair-Edwards.
But both of them have children out of wedlock.
Strange?? But Mrs Blonde doesn't comment on THOSE children.

You're paying attention to him.

He received his education at the Lift-A-Rock Academy.

I haven't read all the comments here but I am glad I started...I was getting depressed hearing all that crap from HotAir et al.
Someone talked above about how the left is all about destruction--that's what they've done through history, even to individual's families, because they seem to be into that "sins of the father" belief. This justifies, to them, the destruction of a family.
I am waiting for Sarah to come kick arse!
That's the only kind of child your mama ever gave birth to.
Now it all makes sense.
Is there any way to get pictures of the moron's that filed the 15 harassing lawsuits against Sarah Palin? I would like to have them blown up and use them as dart boards! I really do need a way to release my disgust and anger towards the a** hole librals!
Mr Blonde | 07.03.09 - 10:29 pm | #

Unfortunately, this American must be quite ignorant, since the rights to Citizen Grand Jury was removed from our Constitution, way back. USA is the only country who still have these rights. And this is the reason why, on June 29th and July 1rst, D.C. accepted the presentments from the Grand Jurors.
Will they act on it? This is another story. Your Government has become so corrupted, I doubt it. Grand Jurors will have more chances to succeed with a conservative Judge from a small county Court.
And of course, we have a fantastic conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper who is perfectly eligible.
fireweed. Ever since Obama "reared" his ugly head, I have been at the forefront of describing just exactly what kind of pathetic pussified LOSER, Opie Obama is.
I'm bright, but, it didn't take a genius. Opies own words told me who he was/is. His actions told me who he was/is. His ASSOCIATIONS told me who Opie was/is. His "mentors" told me who Opie, was/is.

Sarah Palin is terrific. She is multi-facited and never has to read a teleprompter because she knows what she thinks. She is as honest as the day is long and yet everyday the media tries to destroy her, while giving the crooked Dems a pass. Palin is the most exciting Republican and when it comes to being a rock star Obama doesn't hold a candle to her. Now Palin will get all the air time she wants to tell America what Republicans stand for. Go ahead Dems hi-5 yourselves -- you think you got rid of Sarah Palin. The joke's on you.
Daniel | 07.03.09 - 9:23 pm
I just went to the link for "Born Again American." I got a little warning when one of the singers talked about CEO's counting money and do-re-me. bornagainamerican.org was founded by Norman Lear, who also founded People for the American Way, which has fought against everything that conservatives stand for. Go to pfaw.org and see what it stands for.
Sarah Palin is a principled woman. The frivolous lawsuits are costing Alaska a lot of money so she will resign for the good of the State. Can you picture Obama resigning for the good of the country?
The only way to stop this is to deliver the liberals the most sweeping political repudiation in American history. We need to defeat them utterly in the next two elections. - Tom W.
Well boo friggin' hoo, big boy.
You just figured out that maybe you should get off your butt and work for a candidate instead of playing King of the Comment Section. Bravo. Too bad the election was last year. You only missed it by 7 months!
Lil' Cut-N-Run Palin can't hack it. She's a thin-skinned loser who couldn't even pull off a half term as governor of the tiniest state. So yeah, this is obviously all part of her secret plan to dominate the field in 2012. Brilliant!
What a week for America - we get Al Franken as Senator and Sarah Palin throws the ultimate temper tantrum and just up and quits because people are laughing at her. Oh no, call the waaahbulance! Bwahahahaha!!!!
You guys won't do a thing about it either. All this tough talk will fizzle and turn into nothing. Come 2012 you'll all just sit there like deer in the headlights and Obama will win again. And once again you'll be smugly predicting his defeat - just like you did last time, just like you're doing now.
Geez, Diva, you're not bitter or anything, are you? Seriously, that was one of the most non-productive posts I've ever read, anywhere. Sure glad I'm not walkin' in YOUR shoes, girl.
Bitter? Ha! I'm a winner! I defeated McCain/Palin while the wingtards sat here like little bitches last year and smugly predicted Obama's defeat and now I get to watch her crash and burn on the 4th of July!

Sarah Palin Quits While She's Behind
I'm watching Sarah Palin's fan club on Fox News--including the shameless Greta Van Susteren--trying to spin Palin's decision to step down as governor of Alaska midterm and it's remarkable how they can take straight Palin's phony-baloney explanation that she can do more for Alaska by working from outside the government instead of hanging on and fulfilling the duties for which she was elected. If she had said, "I can do more for my national prospects by kissing this job buh-bye and readin' up real good like Jonah Goldberg recommends and getting my presidential campaign team assembled", that would have carried a certain crass, calculating plausibility. But to pretend that it's Alaska's welfare that's uppermost in her mind and she can do more in a civilian capacity than serving as the actual governor of the state, is a bit stretchy.
And releasing such a bombshell announcement on the Friday of a holiday weekend is a calculated news-dump move, not a brilliant PR coup. Especially with Michael Jackson's funeral coming up. Perhaps she plans to attend Michael's funeral at the Staples Center and see what she can do there for Alaska. Now Bill Kristol is speculating that maybe Palin is "crazy like a fox," which given his infallible record for being assbackwards wrong, means she's simply crazy.
Now Fox is showing the official announcement by Palin. She sounds nervous, pinched, but at least a large animal isn't being loudly disemboweled behind her. The tension in her throat and her forced smile suggest that she's trying to put a bright coat of paint on an untenable situation without telling us the real story. This rollcall of self-congratulation defies logic, translating as, "We've done a helluva job, that's why I have to leave, otherwise things might get too good." And her rattling litany of complaints about her press coverage--not very Reaganesque.
"Only dead fish go with the flow."
Go, flow.
Diva talks big because she's got to comfort Little Baracky, who's back in the No-Whiteys House screaming and sucking his thumb at the thought that his puppet trolls aren't going to be able to abuse state ethics laws to take potshots at Palin any more -- and the fact that she's now free to fight back.
What's Baracky done since he's taken office, Diva? Let's see: hired tax cheats to staff his Cabinet, broken his own vows to hire no lobbyists, ignored the law he co-sponsored barring Inspectors General from being fired with less than 30 days notice, reneged on his promise to post every bill for five days before signing, supported Iran's crackdown on its citizens and Honduras's Chavez-wannabe dictator, alienated our European allies, pushed unemployment to near-record levels far above what he claimed his "stimulus" would do, quadrupled the Federal budget deficit, and forced even rats like Warren Buffett and Colin Powell to jump ship and admit that his spending is unsustainable.
With a record like that, no wonder you have to attack Palin. Obama can only win by tearing other people down to his level.
Your happiness only shows what a pathetic and disgusting creature you are, Diva.
The petulant left can't take the fact that the GOP may be first with a female president, you see only they can do that. They are ones who gave us civil rights only by blocking such attempts by the GOP for years just so they could say they did it. Now they will have a Latina SC justice but blocked Bush's future candidate. Out of pure hate and lust they ridicule Plain and her family. I hope she makes millions, stages a comeback and enters the 2012 race.
Diva Slayer ... remember 1994?
That is where Mr. Obama and his Best and Brightest are taking you by their overreaching.
Keep in mind that, despite all your hard work, a lapdog media, Soros, and ACORN, Mr. Obama only pulled in 53% of the popular vote ... and that was before We the People started seeing what he was really about when it came to policy.
Your arrogant disdain of those who do not march in lockstep with your conventional wisdom blinds you to the wisdom they possess ... wisdom that will be seen by We the People, and as in 1994, replace your conventional wisdom as the guiding force in our Congress.
And eventually, in the White House.
This is the last gasp of the 1960's generation who created the conventional wisdom you follow ... their last chance to Save the Legacy of Woodstock Nation ... a nation that can never last, for it feeds the worst parts while diminishing the best parts of human nature.
Either it will be rejected ... or such conventional wisdom will pave the way for us to follow Rome into oblivion.
I'm betting on the former ... and I think Sarah Palin will play a big part in making that happen.
Don't misunderestimate her ... or us.
I have all ways enjoyed Clint Eastwood movies.
Sarah Palin will be just like Clint Eastwood in his movies.
Study the problems at hand, react, and take no shit from any one.
Worked in the movies.
Believe it will work for her.
Hmmm, I wonder if I should pick up medicine and go into psychiatry. One could make his doctorate over analyzing the pathologic hatred coming from the left wing.
Note: psychiatry in Austria is a specialization after making an MD.
She still has more experience than Obama:

Palin will be the 1st 3rd party winner in US history. Obama will receive less than 20%.
I don't believe for a minute that Palin will ever run as a Republican again.
Bitter? Ha! I'm a winner! I defeated McCain/Palin while the wingtards sat here like little bitches last year and smugly predicted Obama's defeat and now I get to watch her crash and burn on the 4th of July!

A suggestion: That Conservatives on Gateway set up a Dumb Troll of the Day award.
And I nominate Diva Slayer to receive the first award. What a conceited and frankly stupid Comment Diva Slayer posted.
Be afraid Libtards, be very afraid!! Palin can raise money and stump like nobody else on the right side of the aisle--that's why contributions to her PAC jumped after her announcement (I heard this on the news this morning). Now she'll have time to do some serious damage to the leftist agenda, and I for one can't wait!!

Aah, but we're having fun.
Our discussions are rather like bacyard barbecue discussions, in that they start in one place, ramble through related and then unrelated topics; and then - usually - return to the original subject.
It's sometimes frustrating - but always interesting.
Solaratov,
I agree
One thing is for certain, the name Sarah Palin sure gets the nasty little humanoid spawns of Satan riled up. The Democratic Party sure has lost it's soul.
Yeah, she had a lot of accomplishments. She and her Eskimo got a contractor to build them a house in return for a big hunk of government business. Sweet!

How are we going to decide? Tough choices!
So, wingnuts, what are you gonna say when Sarah Baby is indicted? "The lib-ruls made her do it!!!"

I have a better question:
"Are You Better Off Than You Were Two Years Ago?"

I'm really curious to hear the ONuts' response to this. Assuming that they are capable of even a modicum of honesty, that is.

WHY DID SARAH PALIN QUIT?
Indictments are forthcoming.
There's no way she quits because a blogger made fun of her.
There's no way she quit so she wouldn't be a lame duck, and that's a lame excuse anyway. Every pol becomes a lame duck at some point. You don't just quit after a half term because you might be a lame duck some day.
Rumblings on local Alaska blogs: embezzlement, free lakefront house (stolen materials? no receipts or record of payment for anything...) , suspiciously large endorsements for Todd's snow machine racing team (it ain't exactly NASCAR)
Feds closing in...investigations started under Bush administration...huge scandal just under the surface...
This doesn't seem right because it's not. There's more to this than meets the eye.
And Sarah Palin did not give an actual reason for her resignation. She just quit.
Stay tuned.

Amused As Hell | 07.04.09 - 2:35 pm |
What a silly question. She's already announced that she's resiging as governor. If she's indicted, we'll say, "Crap. That's terrible. How disappointing."
She's the soon-to-be former governor of Alaska. The current president of the United States, on the other hand, a man who has no intention of resigning, is failing faster and more comprehensively than maybe any president in history. Seven more banks closed by the feds yesterday. That means 52 banks closed since Obama took power. TARP isn't working.
The "stimulus" legislation isn't working, either. Obama's policies are causing a double-dip recession, for which he'll deservedly be blamed. We don't have the money for cap and trade or nationalized health care, but he'll try to ram those through anyway and then jack up our taxes in a futile attempt to pay for them. And he's severely strained our alliances with Britain, Israel, and India, all of vital strategic importance to America's national security.
But you think the big news is Sarah Palin. That's good, because it shows that you've taken your eye off the ball. You believe your side's propaganda, that everything is groovy. You'll regret that mightily some day.
Someday is peeking over the horizon.
Oh, it is ever going to be fun to come back to this freak show and tell you I told you so!
Amused As Hell | 07.04.09 - 5:45 pm |
And boy, will that hurt, coming from you. I don't know how we'll survive.
Tom W: ...and if Amused's fantasy doesn't come true I somehow doubt he'll be apologetic.
I wonder if he's one of the folks still waiting for Karl Rove's frogmarch.

bg | 07.04.09 - 5:18 pm
It's all over the net.
And it's as plausible as any other reason.
Do you know why she quit?
So you can't back up your claim and are spreading a rumor. You never expected anyone to challenge you so now you're sputtering and handwaving and hoping the meme spreads anyway.
More of the same, essentially.

Patrick, I'm happy they think the demise of Sarah Palin means smooth sailing for Obama from here on out. It shows how stupid, incompetent, and doomed to failure they are.

Why Did Sarah Palin Resign?
[Secret is, Palin's decision will now allow her to avoid the difficult task of running for president while serving as a sitting governor.
She made a brief statement and took no questions at a presser today.]
The Book of Sarah (Palin)
how many businesses are there in Alaska??
more than enough..
do many Alaskans know or know of each other??
seems to me they do..
are many businesses in Alaska
familiar with one another??
believe so, yes..
or do most travel to the lower 48
to make friends & acquaintances??
don't really think so..
Obligatory Sarah Palin Resignation Post
[Jeez, the number of theories grows by the hour! Who dares pick now? If there really is an indictment in the offing, I fear that breathless speculation won't nudge it along any faster.
But what I do find genuinely intriguing is what the Palin diehards have been saying. You have, for example, the good people of Conservatives 4 Palin comparing the Alaska governor's resignation to Julius Caesar. And you have Bill Kristol speculating that her gamble could turn out to be quite shrewd. This strikes me as sociologically interesting. If her resignation -- which was a really a halting ramblefest -- doesn't shake the faith, what will?]

re: link @ 6:51 pm
thought this was quite a profound
way of viewing what's happening..
Sarah Palin Crosses the Rubicon
[In any case, Palin has crossed the Rubicon and made her stand clear. She gave us a hint before when she said "Politically, if I die, I die." I think this was her equivalent of alea iacta est. She will now be the anti-Obama, standing up for her personal beliefs, free of the constraints the Alaskan people have placed on her. She is now free of them, and they of her - though I think they will be the ones to regret it first.]
i for one, can only hope & pray so..

Derivatives of old, moldy rumors started by those who, being unable to win on principle, resort to dirty politics to gain an unprincipled advantage.
We see right through them ... and their gnat-strained monkey poo hasn't stuck yet, despite multiple attempts.
They FEAR her, because she wins on principle ... and they know that once principle, instead of political veneer, returns to its rightful place of value in our public discourse, they will be unable to influence policy and hold on to their own, hedonistic, theocracy of the self.
I still think they'll be nailin' Palin for something juicy and criminal, but maybe not the sports complex.
Either way, it doesn't really matter too much. If they nail her, it's fantastic entertainment. If they don't nail her, then she's still a wacko coward who couldn't stand the heat. Her actions won't win her a single new supporter, but her cult followers will stick with her until the end, and make the Republicans all that much more electable!
There is absolutely no downside for the Democrats on this one! Want to lead with your freak show? Have at it!!
Amused As Hell
I predict that over the next year or so Palin will make more money in legal actions against idiots like you making baseless libellous assertions than from any other source. Her attorneys put out a 4-page note today warning that legal actions are likely - and spelling out in detail why the Palins are utterly clean on her house and the sports centre construction. And the FBI have decalred categorically that there is no investigation on this. The whole thing is an empty nonsense, and has been for many years.
Now how come a Brit like me, in London, has heard this truth - but your bias blinds you to the fact that the attacks on Palin have been scurrilous, a campaign based on accusations that were known to be false.
You WANT Palin to be guilty of something. Anything - you really don't care. And that blind hatred will consume you in the end.
Freak show?
Well, parrot, you and 53% of this nation already sent in the clowns, as we see more and more each day.
Unlike you, a good portion of that 53% will act to start cleaning up that circus, starting in 2010 ... because Ms. Palin will look anything but freaky then, especially by comparison.
Amused wanna cracker?
All the talk of MO being another Jackie O. but it's Sarah Palin who can pair what looks like the top half of one of Jackie O.'s skirt suits with a pair of jeans and - Voila! - she looks fabulous.
"Enough talk about Sarah Palin, can't we just get back to discussing Michelle Obama's toned arms, "
Oh, you mean the "wookie"
Horny Toad
Poor angry elitists. I hope all of them go down the tubes.
This is what you all think, and you think someone was mean to Palin?
"Michelle Obama's toned arms, her THUNDEROUS BUTTOX, and maybe her 7th grade quality Princeton Thesis?? Oh and aren't those Opie children just beautiful?What are their names again?
Hopey and Changey??"
Maybe it is time for extremists on both sides - left and right - to take a look at themselves before they bash the *other* side.
These inane and unsupported tributes to an unqualified candidate - and now quitter - are beyond belief. It is staggering to think that people who could be so dumb as to try to make a case for this tiresome woman, Palin, to be president. It is, quite frankly, scary. There are MANY across this great land who would LOVE to see her run for POTUS: For the simple reasons that she is unelectable and will create an easy second 4 years for Obama - AND she is such a phoney she is absolutely hilarious with her idiotic comments. Run, Palin, Run! You truly are the (laughable) gift that keeps on giving! (Wake up, people, and recognize that the GOP is totally bereft of any genuine leadership.)
