Gov. Palin To Resign at End of Month

Those who voted for her, should bow down and kiss the feet of us that saved you by not letting this idiot in the white house. God save the US we got a live one, crazy as two left shoes.

I was very upset watching T.V. and seeing a Special Report come onto the set. Then that special report was Sarah Palin stepping down. Come On! Special Reports are for emergency notification! This does not affect my life! Shame on you ABC

SD, just be concerned with the blatant liar you elected. He looked good during the campaign. He’s now starting to look like the people he associated with for the last 20 years.

I never figure Palin as a quitter.

I think it’s horrible she isn’t even going to finish out her term!!! She was elected to be governor and she’s going to quit!!! Quite a reflection on her personality I’d say.
I still wish she’d just go away – she’s got something up here sleeve for sure

Palin, the polar bears and Americans everywhere THANK YOU for stepping down. Now PLEASE just stay home!

Hmmmmmmmmm…..if she’s planning on running in 2012, this wont look very good on her resume, will it? Quitting with no real reason? Unless…well, never mind! Hopefully, if she is planning on running in 2012, she will take this extra time to learn more about what the POTUS does, more about world affairs, and more about U.S. affairs, outside of Alaska! Even then I wouldn’t vote for her! If it’s her and Obama running in 2012 I don’t know what I’ll do! I didn’t vote for Obama last time….and wouldn’t vote for either one next time! We need someone with some kind of experience or just plain common sense in the White House!

I’ve been racking my brain as to why such an egotist would step down out of the spotlight. I finally figured it out – she is going to run for God.

Well, I hope you’re all happy now…nobody to rake over the coals anymore..ha That poor woman was horse whipped by the media. Who are you going to pick on next? Wow, not a single worthy person out there to try to ruin.
Good thing she’s a very strong woman, and this isn’t going to quash her spirit one bit. She’s an amazing person. Nobody worthwhile will even try to run for President because of the media that try to do them in. Just watch what is written after my comment and read the rhetoric….

Might help the republicans hold on to the governors seat and set her for a senate seat. I do not believe she really believes she will ever be President.

This will be too much fun.

Maybe I’m off-the wall suspicious, but me thinks the good governor is stepping out so she can figure out a way to step out of something bad.
Wonder who has the goods on her?
Certainly was a rambling, fairly incoherent speech.
Only good thing is that for a precious few minutes, we are spared the wall-to-wall MJ reporting.

Doesn’t the airhead realize that her governorship is the “only” claim she has to credibility? Oh well, at least she finally did something for Alaska.

Nancy Pelosi is a piece of work, not worthy of anything and people made fun of Sarah Palin and her entire family. Most people are afraid of her because she speaks her mind, is not afraid of saying whats on her mind and doesn’t eat crowe from people. She is a fresh piece of air and not the scum of democratic morons who are controlling this country into socialism. When Bill Clinton ran around the nation get his kicks from Monica Lewinsky and any other piece of skirt, no one found him a nasty old man, and with all the dirty politics with all the senators, etc and their extra marital affairs, like Jon Edwards, Spitzer, they pick on Sarah Palin and her poor 18 year old. This country is going to pot in a handbag and I;d rather have Sarah Palin that that dirty BArack Obama and his socialistic party members turning this country into the government way. Good for Sarah Palin. And remember everyone, all your government memebers stink so pick on someone else.

Well you can hammer her all you want but she can manager her budget better than Obama. Who would you want controlling your budget.

hey “Ron” you’re an idiot too!!

OK, what is she running from?
What is going to be announced in the next few days?
She made the announcement on a Friday, over a holiday weekend.
Prime time to duck and run….but from what?

I’m doing the happy dance! This doesn’t help her in 2012 at all! She should have stayed and worked on her approval rating (which has dropped 30%) first! Unfortunately for Mrs. Palin she is not good at multi-tasking and running the state while campaigning for POTUS. Why she thinks she would be a good President is BEYOND me! She is probably smart but she doesn’t act like it. Unless you are voting for her for Miss America you are wasting your vote by choosing Palin!

Colleen Hailey: That 50% was at 80%.
A year ago.
50% means she has a very good chance of losing.
Despite that she’s really smart.
Here’s Sarah Palin in the debate describing the role of the vice president — the job she was running for:
I’m thankful the Constitution would allow a bit more authority given to the vice president if that vice president so chose to exert it in working with the Senate and making sure that we are supportive of the president’s policies and making sure too that our president understands what our strengths are.
And…
Well, our founding fathers were very wise there in allowing through the Constitution much flexibility there in the office of the vice president. And we will do what is best for the American people in tapping into that position and ushering in an agenda that is supportive and cooperative with the president’s agenda in that position. Yeah, so I do agree with him that we have a lot of flexibility in there, and we’ll do what we have to do to administer very appropriately the plans that are needed for this nation. And it is my executive experience that is partly to be attributed to my pick as V.P. with McCain, not only as a governor, but earlier on as a mayor, as an oil and gas regulator, as a business owner. It is those years of experience on an executive level that will be put to good use in the White House also.
Uhhhh.

Let us just hope that she was for once being honest in saying she will be working outside of politics. America does NOT need this woman anywhere near the WH.
And, sorry those who adore her. If you would rub the stardust from your eyes and assess her honestly you would see that she is an empty vessel, known mostly becasue of her attractive persona but certainly not for her intellect.

Larry Kudlow of CNBC’s “Kudlow & Co.” asked her about the possibility of becoming McCain’s ticket mate.
Palin replied: “As for that VP talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day? I’m used to being very productive and working real hard in an administration. We want to make sure that that VP slot would be a fruitful type of position, especially for Alaskans and for the things that we’re trying to accomplish up here for the rest of the U.S., before I can even start addressing that question.”
Can’t wait till they ask her what the President does.

WOW! Sarah was rambling more then usual in that interview and clearly very upset. She was breathless and all over the map in her comments. What is she up to now? I smell a monumental scandal brewing and I cannot wait to see this sanctimonious hypocritical shrew go down in flames.

I can’t wait to find out the real scandal she thinks she is going to avoid by quitting. She can’t handle politics as usual in Alaska? LOL! What on earth would she have done in DC! Good riddance! PALIN THE QUITTER – love it.

Sorry to see Sarah leave her post as Governor. However I am sure this will not be the last we hear or see of her. I am sure she will make a better President than what we have in office currently. Idiots of America who voted this moron in office who is paving the way to get rid of 22 amendment so he can do three terms as President.

Rambling ‘I am the world’ speech trying to throw red meat to her fans (not the normal politician, the kids need me, I’m sacrificing for others, salute the military….).
Sadly, she would have been better served finishing the job she was hired for.
Can you imagine if she were president and decided she was tired of being in the Oval office?

Anyone who posted that she is quitting or bowing out obviously did not listen to her speech. She is pissed and she is going to fight for her good name. She will become a formidable weapon in the next election.
Maybe she was a little unprepared for the limelight but she’ll come back stronger than ever.
15 ethics complaints and 2 million WASTED TAX PAYER DOLLARS later she leaves without a mark on her record! Go SARAH! We need a strong conservative woman to represent us!

Palin is the biggest nut-job who ever held public office. I’m happy for Alaskans, but concerned about her real intentions at the national level. God help us if she ever holds a national office!

She doesn’t want to be a lame duck….so that justifies abandoning her position and the people of Alaska?
This is another bizarre decision by a woman who appears to have no ability to think strategically.
Does anyone really think this has been in the works for a while?
Wow!
Can’t wait for the facts.

Ozarkess, no you be concerned about finding a viable canidate to run against him. The Pres. is doing fine, and he got 31/2 years to go. You felt our Power in 2008, bring it!!! That was just a sample, the next time we bring the full force of CHANGE..and baby, oh, baby…it will be a THRILLER!!

It’s really sad to see all the nasty and baseless comments coming from women. Why the hatred?

Seems most are Democrats that are posting. I am Independent, but I know a really smart, decent, lovely, woman when I see one, and I also know when the same person was thrown to the wolves! She and her familyl have been treated horribly. I hope they can recover from the terrible treatment they have received, and that Sarah can go on to accomplish all she dreams of. We need someone like her to help us out of this mess we are in!!!

Ozarkess, what about her lies!! Oh, they been in love and planning to be married. DUH!! I don’t where the clothes came from, DUH!! Go Joe!! The unlicensed plummer. We saw through her game, and shut it DOWN!! Stay home Sarah, take care of your children. This is no place for the uneducated and the uninformed!!

This is awesome!!! On so many absolutely hilarious levels this is awesome.

Sounds like there was something newsworthy she didn’t want the public to find out about: More financial slight of hand? Something Sanfordish? Or maybe the RNC just knows it’ll take at least a couple of years of intense education and coaching to get her ready for 2012? (She’d need it.) Inquiring minds want to know! CONGRATS, ALASKA!

Affair. The question now is with whom?

djwhite2 —your remarks are very inappropriate.

Has Sanford been to Alaska? … Ensign?

Palin quit to head Planned Parenthood of America!!!!!

Please, oh PLEASE let this signal the beginning of her porn career! She is in SUCH high demand, and could be making crazy money for her family, much more than he office of Governor brings in.
Please Sarah, tell us that it’s so! I’ll buy EVERYTHING you put out there, promise!

Seems to be a stability issue here. Now think about her being elected VP and the tragic prospect of (God forbid) something happening to McCain. Someone was watching over us.

She’s preggo !!!

You’re all idiots! Didn’t any of you hear the speech she gave?
She’s been battling all these ridiculous lawsuits being filed against her (someone actually sued her for holding a dead fish in a photo). All 15 lawsuits filed against her have been dropped, but she can’t afford all the legal fees to fight these accusations in court. Plus, it was distracting her from her governing duties. I wasn’t happy about her being the Repub VP nominee, but she’s been treated so unfairly by the liberals and the media. It’s pathetic. At least she doesn’t read from a teleprompter… people are in denial and afraid that someone like her may have more ability than a Harvard-educated half-black man.

Watch…within a few months she will become a commentator on FOX. I guarantee it. That way she can say and do whatever she and not be challenged.

SD, the people who kept her out of the white house are the same people who just gave Stuart Smalley a US Senate seat. Kiss your feet? I think slapping your face would be more appropriate.

Is this just her headline of the week? Should we be happy she’s leaving – or afraid of what she may do next??? It is bad form for her to leave before the end of her term – she can give all the pathetic excuses she wants, but letting her state and its citizens down like this is inexcusable. I sincerely hope she does get out of politics – the GOP has more than enough problems with all the marital woes being made public – she would be doing her party (and the rest of us, let’s not forget!) a huge favor. The last posting re Sarah I saw was her in a yoga pose – maybe that’s it – she’s going to each yoga at the YMCA! That would be an appropriate use of her intellect.

sharon posted “Good thing she’s a very strong woman, and this isn’t going to quash her spirit one bit. ”
——————————————————–
A-hem…..strong women don’t quit! Thank goodness she never made it into the WH. Can you image McCain dieing and Palin taking over only to quit a few months later.

Brilliant ! On the day before America’s most patriotic holiday, this move has guaranteed Palin will be talked about around every swimming pool, at every BBQ, and and over every campfire across America.
After the stupid David Letterman feud, the trashy photos in Runners World, and the Vanity Fair article (describing how McCain aides saw Palin as a “diva” and a “whack job”), Palin needed a something BIG to stay in the national spotlight.
We have not seen the last of Caribou Barbie or her gun toting, fanatically conservative, rapture-ready supporters. Happy 4th.

The reason I love Mrs. Palin so much is she drives the liberals absolutely crazy. Better even then George Bush. I can’t understand why, since she is the embodiment of liberal feminist values – strong assertive woman, self made. Instead the liberals worship women who got where they are by virtue of who they sleep with – Hilary, Michele, etc.

Sarah Palin will be the first female POTUS. It rankles all you liberals that the GOP has a true feminist with guts.

Sarah Palin is GREAT. It’s obvious the constant crush of media demonizing has distracted her from the Governorship. She did the right thing. I hope she stays visible in the public arena because her message is pure and she can take the heat. She’s a great American and a pretty one too.

It is all about her book deal maybe she is afraid Levi will come out first and she will be proven the liar she is. The media did nothuing to her, she bought everything down on herself by her words and her actions. How can some of you that prmote life even think of her as prolife when she espouces violence time and again. She put women back 50 years with her words and actions with a wink and a kissWill wait to see whay else is going to come out of Alaska about her.I think she was afraid one of the complaints would stick and if this gas line deal falls down she does not want the blame

Does that mean she will be out of the spot light for a while? Can only hope.
Bad news for the wild life though with more killing time on her hands. She is such an idiot I can not figure why anyone would vote for her in a presidential election.

She did the right thing passing the baton. THe Lt. Gov. was elected by people of Alaska and he will be able to focus on viseion better than Sarah who’s become a celebrity and media target.

Somebody has something on her! I’m loving this — and GOPer bites the dirt. Good riddance, quitter.

Perhaps having a Down’s baby is requiring more time and attention than she imagined or maybe the baby is sick. Down’s children are more prone to illnesses than other children, even cancer. At any rate with the media attention that she gets it is no wonder she is not able to be effective anymore but it’s a shame because the best revenge is doing a great job. Palin or no Palin the rest of the country is beginning to see that the Big Zero has been one big ### mistake.

Annie – she NEVER said she could see Russia from her house. It destroys any credibility you have to repeat that.
I’m trying to figure out WHY she’s stepping down. It’s too early for a presidential run. And I doubt if it has to do with being prosecuted for anything, because the media would have been screaming about it before she could make an announcement. There has to be something else.

“Palin or no Palin the rest of the country is beginning to see that the Big Zero has been one big ### mistake.”
Yep, Colin Powell has jumped off of the Obama bandwagon — not that the MSM is reporting it. LMAO

I only wish Bill Clinton would’ve
resigned during his Lewinsky scandal
and turned over the reins to Gore.
Maybe then Gore would’ve easily won
the 2000 election, and we wouldn’t have
been stuck with George W. Bush for 8
LONGGGG years.
There’s something to be said for
resigning at the right time. Don’t agree
with most of her politics, but maybe
Palin did exactly the right thing.

Something “STINK’S”.This resignation is just the tip of the iceberg.Her body language was speaking loud and clear.She’s definately shook-up about something.We’ll just have to wait and see.

TG! She has realized how bad she would be for the Nation at this point. She is and has always been a waste of time!

How telling that so many of the uber-conservatives are trying to deflect another Palin inanity by lambasting Obama.
Don’t tell them the article wasn’t about POTUS but about a politician (who happens to be female–it has NEVER been about a woman running for president, but keep believing that if you think it helps your case).
This politician who happens to be female is irratic and irrational.
And, oh by the way, this would be true whether Palin was male or female.

Wow, all the hate from the left. Think about what’s being posted here….. We have a president right now that his ONLY real accomplishment was getting elected and selling you a bill of goods. Barry is even going further than some of the super right wing warned you about. Spending, taking over the private sector, spending, apologizing for our great history, spending some more, cap n tax, it goes on and on. And what do we see here? Constant hate from the tolerable left for someone who has at least accomplished something and held a real job. I guess you guys are right though…. If she can’t sound like a used car salesman she must be no good.

Did you forget that Obama had quit his current job to run for POTUS?

I don’t hate Palin and never did. I don’t understand why people who are probably good and decent seem to think this is an extraordinary politician, but I suspect projection has a lot to do with it.
But really, quitting a job before it is done is NOT patriotic nor does it define leadership or selflessness.
Just the opposite. This is another example of Palin figuratively giving the finger to the people of Alaska.
She should have had this discussion with her kids before she ran for governor.
And she should have had the discussion she ran for VP (remember her boast that she made the decision instantly?).
Yes, her fans will spin this to a positive position but her ‘abdication’ speech was embarrasing to watch – with all seven or eight people in the audience.
I wonder how the Brits felt after the king gave up the throne for the woman he loved.
Wow. Talk about giving women politicians a bad name.

I don’t blame Palin. She’s going to be an even bigger voice for conservatism now. Unlike Obama, she actually has a successful track record of fiscal responsibility.
Unfortunately for liberals, Obama will bankrupt them and Palin will make them (more) insane.
I’m stocking up on popcorn.

This action comes on the heels of months of stepping in moose patties.
From her irrational acceptance / rejection of speaking engagements to her irrational attack on D Letterman for a horrendous joke to her incessant complaints about how poorly she was treated by everyone, this is a woman who does damage to female politicians: all we need is to have folks point out how inpredictable, thin-skinned, and flighty this woman is.

Sarah Palin is a Lady. Contrary to the bunch of creeps that are around now in the Democratic Party i.e. Nancy Pelosi who is involved in dirty politics only to her own benefit and that of her family. Check on the son’s job and who he works for (with plane at his disposal and all)? Hillary Clinton must be amazed, as liberal as she is, of where this country is being taken to by the present administration – Socialism. (previous pure communism). Everything is being taken over and people still feel under “anesthesia” and don’t wake up and maybe some never will. Gibbs is the pure representation of the President, with the advice of Emmanuel. She has been degraded, and so has her family. Whereby Clinton’s daughter who was seen drunk many a times in bars in NY was constantly surrounded and secluded for the press. Clinton had affairs, as well as JFKennedy, and these were either covered up or pardoned as in the case of Bill. But they are and were Democrats. Republicans are persecuted and degraded for anything. This country is going backwards and we all know it. Though many keep under the “anesthesia” shock.

Isn’t it obvious?
Sarah’s got the beauty contest bug again and wants to get in shape for the swimsuit competition.
MORE SUMMER WORK for Tina Fey — she’s gonna get rich on this one.

If she is quitting because she thinks the mass media has been too hard on her, then shame on her. That is what being on a national stage is about and if you can’t take the hits while a candidate, then you would never be able to take the hits when in office and THAT is scary.
The media is a beast and we all know that, but she wasn’t treated all that badly by them (if put in a balanced perspective), certainly no worse that the Obamas, and in fact she egged on whatever negative press she got by her actions and words.
If she isn’t strong enough to meet her committment to Alaskans, then why should I trust her to keep any commitment?

How sad that this selfish woman would put herself
before her family and the state of Alaska. I’m
so sick of this woman and everything that comes out
of her mouth. If she makes history and becomes
first female president, how do we know if she will
quit on America when thing get tough. I don’t trust
her. Sarah stay home and be a real mother, your kids
need you

This makes no sense. Even for Sarah Palin.

It enrages me that you are seriously calling this woman a feminist because she definitely is not. She doesn’t agree with women having the right to choose.
She said why she is stepping down. Its because she doesn’t want to be a lame duck governor because she is focusing on running in 2012. In 2011, while she is campaigning, she is even going to bring this up and say something like: I stepped down from being governor so someone else, who could dedicate all there time and energy to running Alaska, could. However when she says it it won’t make as much sense as that :P lol.

I love Sarah Palin. She is not business as usual – a quality Obama promised but doesn’t even try to deliver. I think it’s funny the media is assuming there is a scandal behind her decision, because that’s all they can conceive of. The media never understood her, which is why they were very unabashed about beating up on her and her family. Anything to get rid of her. I feel badly for Alaska – they know what they are losing – but if she feels like she can’t do the job she was elected to do because her focus is constantly being pulled by viscious attacks, I agree with her decision. I hope she stays in politics because she is one of the few politicians who says what she thinks and doesn’t care if anyone likes it. She got into politics to make a difference and I know she will make a difference in whatever she does with her life.

Why didn’t someone tell me it was MORONIC REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR’S WEEK? I would have gotten a card.

Doesn’t want to be a lame duck? This proves she’s not doing this to go for higher office…because every office will eventually result in lame-duck status. I think someone made her an offer she couldn’t refuse. They’ve got something on her.

She knows when it is time to pass the ball. I wonder if she learned that when she was practicing passing the buck?

william….Her going for a senate seat would make sense….she’s been a governer, then if she’s a senater…..hey…Obama was elected with less than 2 years of Senate experience…she’s probably thinking that if she gets senate experience she could have the experience that Obama has and be elected! NOT!!! After all of her bad publicity I do not see how she could ever even be chosen as the Republican candidate……If she were to run against Obama then the only way she would win is if Obama completely screws up everything he touches over the next few years…..Hey…he’s off to a good start! Maybe she would have half a chance!

Kitty ~~~~~~ LOL !!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~` Between the coverage on MJ and Palin one could go crazy if they watch the news too much!

All this nonsense about liberals picking on poor innocent Palin is a hoot. I’m a conservative Republican who has a brain. I picked on her and picked apart all her specious arguments and I saw through her lies and bigotry in a New York minute!

Do we have any investigative journalists left? If so, get to work!

She said it in her Press Conference. She’s not wired for the “same old politics”.
She has a horrible secret that the same old politics are about to reveal. She must be thoroughly embarrassed to prompt her stepping down. I think she’s going into hiding deep in the Alaskan wilderness.

Cherryl===specifically what lies? At least she was able to speak without note or a teleprompter …she makes a lot of sense.

To answer the question, why are women showing dislike/hatred for Palin, for me personally it is because she makes the rest of us look bad. She was in line for the #2 spot in the country, and she was mean, spiteful and childish not to mention that she knows very little about domestic and international politics. She did nothing to move the rest of us forward, she simply gave the men a basis to say, hey we told you a woman could not cut it in the White House. I don’t care if her daughter got pregnant in high school, but I do care that she still preaches abstinence like it worked in her own home. That is hypocritical and unrealistic. I want the first woman in the White House to be able to hold her own as well as be able to wear great shoes. Palin only pulled off the shoe part.

Go Sarah!!! We stand firmly with you and support you. Get your gas line up there and then come down here and let’s get drilling, baby.

IF you want to get a kick out of this Sarah thing just tune into MSNBC and watch the journalistic “stoning” of Sarah Palin. They’ve already begun. WHat it is about human beings that makes them want to crucify and crush independent women.

Great News for Alaska and for the Nation
Sahah Palin took our bridge money and called it “the Bridge to Nowhere”, Lets hope she’s out of politics for good, Welcome to “NOWHERE”, Sarah!

I think the truth about Mr. Obama’s lack of eligibility for his current office is about come out and she wants to be in line for the special election that is about to occur. Ask yourself, “Why won’t Mr. Obama release a copy of his “long form” birth certificate?”

Terry, I don’t know about President Obama’s inelligibility, but I do know he snowed me along with a lot of other Americans. Unfortunately, I don’t think there will be a “special election”. It doesn’t work that way. At this point I would support Joe Biden taking his place.

Hi TrueTexan,
Perhaps you are right. However, I’m not sure I could stand Joe Biden as the prez, and Ms. Pelosi even less. We’ll just have to hang in there and see what happens.

What about Obama’s wife? She is a disgrace to America

TrueTexan said ” At this point I would support Joe Biden taking his place.” Oh- bite your tongue!!! I am not an Obama fan in the least, but if Biden were President, we’d end up in WWIII because he’d stick his foot in his mouth at the wrong time! (Not to mention he is a liar and a cheat).

It’s crazy if she ever wants elected office again as far as I’m concerned. Who elects a quitter?
Lame duck? Bloggers? Bad press? Those are no reasons to quit being Governor with next to no notice given. She was able to be Governor while running for VP – now suddenly she can’t?

I wish Bobby Jindal the governor of Louisiana would follow her lead.

More information on “grassroots” supporters gathering across the nation to support Sarah Palin for President in 2012 can be found online at http://www.palin4pres2012.com
Note, the website is in danger of crashing due to the flood of readers and supporters signing up to show their interest in a Palin Candidacy. The GOP establishment had better watch out, Sarah Palin and Ron Paul combined with the power of the internet will remove the stranglehold of GOP special interests and the elites who have brought the party to its knees in defeat in the 2008 elections.

Sarah Palin You Go Girl! I’ll Vote For You In 2012! You’ll straighten out this Mess-O-Rama! And I’ll Betcha There Will Be Moose Chillie In Every Pot!!!! More Than We Got Now To Look Forward To !!!!!

She sees that someone has to take on Mr. Obama and his socialist agenga, so she is going to do it.

DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA! It’s always drama with Barbie! McCain’s campaign created a monster that won’t go away! This person has been a train wreck since we’ve known her! Please let this caribou become extinct!

The reporting on Nightline last night was the most one-sided liberal reporting in quite a while. It mentioned David Letterman as if he was an innocent victim of hers. Report news and stop being soooo slanted!
