Sarah Palin has the heart of Ronald Regan and displayed it big time yesterday. She has quit nothing or anyone. She took off the gloves and stepped up to reunite the Republican party. Those of us that make up the moderates, finally have found our voice in Sara Palin. It is a pivotal moment for the GOP and our Republican leaders need to get behind her as our champion! God bless America!

1983 Beirut barracks bombing

U.S. President Ronald Reagan called the attack a "despicable act" and pledged to keep a military force in Lebanon.

On February 7, 1984, President Reagan ordered the Marines to begin withdrawal from Lebanon.

Yep, Palin has the heart of Reagan....

Heart of Regan, nothing to brag about. Quit nothing? OK, 'splain that one. News - she doesn't speak for the moderates, she's a right-wing radical secessionist. If that's moderation, we are really in some trouble here.

Mike D you can love this Country for the right to say what you please, others have to die in the streets to speak up or vote. Sarah does speak for people who want American BACK. We used to stand with our brothers and help one another. Sad world isn't it when someone does the right thing and they are called names, tied up in courts and put down for it.

Thanks for discreding NOW and exposing them for what they really are, a group of militant women soley dedicated to legalization of abortion. If they truly had an agenda to protect the rights of women the Letteman "humor" should have outraged them and they should of immediately condemned him publicly. If they truly promot women's rights the should have spoken early often and loudly over the liberal's cheap sexualization of your character. They did not have to agree with your politics and support your presidential candidacy but they should have obeyed their mission statement and strongly and publicly condemned your sexist treatment! NOW, a bunch of women supporting liberalism, democrats and abortion. Hilary was not treated like this!
I respect your decision to resign you position and I do believe you have an higher purpose thay you were at liberty to say. I predict that you will go down in history as one of the most powerful and influential women of this century. I am excited to follow you future endeavors and I cannot help but feeling that a lot of dishonest and immoral public figures should be shaking in their boots.
Lastly, thank you for raising a son you was patriotic and courageous enough to join the military. I have an son who is a Marine reservist and their dedication and valor will keep this country free. I am most grateful to you for publicaly putting yourself and family out there so folks could see that the nuclear family is alive and well.

Nothing scares insecure men more than a strong, authentic, honest, ethical woman. That's what Sarah is. People, REAL people, vote for integrity, not for so-called "Good" political game playing. The men, media and folks attacking Sara now will be unemployed or in jail when she becomes the first female president.
Sarah - you are an awesome inspiration!!! I will vote for you no matter office you run for. You are an inspiration to Christians and honest, ethical people everywhere. Remember, those attacking you recognize your value and worth and it scares them. They wouldn't attack you if you weren't powerful and a tremendous threat to the weak, unethical, weeny men and media. You ROCK Sarah Palin!

Sarah Palin is the one BRIGHT spot in the Republican party. She has what most conservatives want in a candidate. So what if she resigned her Gov. job early, she still has more executive experience than the DODO-bird in there now. Sarah will be received well by those of us who like her and despised by those who do not like her anyway. I say if she will begin to surround herself with capable, smart, loyal people to begin preparing her for a 2012 race.....then I say you go girl, I'll vote for you.

You ramble on about Sarah quitting, however...she knows what her plans are, you don't. Go ahead, underestimate her like a good little lib.......she'll use that to her own advantage, after she's elected, you will wake up and wonder what bus just ran you down. Sarah can win and the liberal elites are scared to death of her, otherwise they would'nt expend so much energy attacking her and her family. GO SARAH GO!!!!!!!!!!!

Lets see...Sarah was governor of alaska with an 80% approval rating,She answered the call to help a struggling republicans'(?) sinking presidential run and energized a campaign.Upon seeing her popularity with average Americans(of which I am one),the Left and the media proceeded to trash her at every opportunity.She remained true to herself and her country throughout everything including McCains losing campaign.After returning to alaska she cotinued to endure ridicule at the hands of washed up comedians and baseless accusations by deeppocketted leftist.Then the attacks from her own party (mccains minions attempting to CYA) started.Other than we Americans who believe as she does and support her and her family,She owes Loyalty to no one.My hope is that Sarah will leave the GOP and start The American Party.She will be the perfect candidate to start this party and get America back into the hands of Americans Who follow and defend the Constitution.

Sarah knows you can not expect the same old people to suddenly do new things, that is the definition of inanity. She is being attacked by the Republicans as well as the Democrats - same old people same old tricks. There is a conservative movement in this country that wants something other than "same old". Sarah represents that movement and will not be accepted by the mainstrem "old" GOP. Go Sarah - WE NEED YOU.

Sarah Palin told us WHY. Go back and LISTEN folks." FRIVOLOUS time and money spent." Time and money that could and SHOULD have been spent on REAL needed projects in AK and FOR Alaskans. I applaud her common sense. She has stopped the nonsense dead in its tracks. She is going to move on in another direction to HELP AK and the United States. She has a plan. You have NOT seen the last of this SMART, HONEST, COMMON SENSE-based LADY.

I think she is right. The office of the governer should be one that is able to work for the people, not have to deal with attacks on a constant basis and waste time and money doing so. I believe she is having to spend so much time on the defensive for insane allegation that it is best if she steps away and works as a private citizen to help Alaska and America. Lord only knows that private citizens with agendas is what has caused her to have to do this and it is a sad day when this is the route people take to destroy a person. I for one hope that "the other side" gets it on a grander scale with the way he is running the white house. I'd take Palin over OhNoma any day. She has more guts than him!

Great move Sara,
I think Sara is doing the right thing by
taking Alaska out of the line of fire.
2 million dollars this year alone in fees
That the taxpayers have paid for her defense
People are afraid of her, they should be,
She’s honest, she’s fair, and she’s to the
Point on the issues at hand.
Sara is not unpredictable, she has a conscience
Which many politicians don’t. They abuse there
Power to help themselves not there state or the
Country for that matter.. Sara puts the people of
Her state first while protecting her family like
Anyone would do. So her stepping down doesn’t
Shock me, She’s just protecting the people of Alaska
From the likes of CNN,ABC,CBS,NBC,ect… the ones
That play follow the leader no matter if your country
Is heading for a cliff as long as they get something from
It, it doesn’t matter. Sara needs to be Feared in Washington
Because she’s for the people of America and not for
Special intrest groups……
YOU GO SARA……..

Thinking American

Hmmm, ever hear the saying, where there is a "Lib" there is a bunch of open wallets (the tax payer's) and needless spending, and ignorance and refusal to listen to reason or the truth if it is coming from (almost anywhere) usually a republican, a conservative or anyone who doesn't agree with them? Huh, LibLen? You will, Dems and Libs are all still, for some reason all feeling quite smug, (I personify the attitude with the look on N. Pelosi's face - all the time- in my minds eye) - but I can't think it will take an entire 4 years for the bloom to come off this rose, and there is no way that a Democratic Congress, who has had control of spending/budgets, military issues and a whole lot more, for 6 1/2 years now can possibly continue to blame this lunacy on Replubicans/Conservatives/Bush/Fox News and now S. Palin forever - do you? Oh, and by your little inuendo, do you have some charges to bring against her too? Like the nutjob in Alaska who was bringing many of the nuisance suits against her, just because she could, and it was FREE for her (uh, except that her tax dollars had to go to defend against the nuicance suits...she was too dumb to realize that, I guess, what do you think LibLen??

I am so tired of hearing the pundits and commentators (on Fox, too) say that it seems like Sarah could "not stand the heat". WTF?? SHE withstood the heat for months and she stood tall and didn't waiver. However, when the libs couldn't push her down, then they went after her daughter, Bristol. When Bristol tried to turn her situation into something positive and reach other young girls, they went after Willow. And when that didn't take Sarah down, they finally sunk to the depths of reprehension and went after Trig . What kind of deep, dark, soul-sickness has infected our political landscape when it becomes acceptable and justifiable to attack and mock a 1-yr. old Downs Syndrome baby???? Just read the blogger Wonkette or that pathetic Erik Sean Nelson on Huffington Post. It will make you nauseous!! And Todd Purdum's article in Vanity Fair also went after the people of Alaska and their culture. She could withstand the heat as long as the heat was directed only at HER, but when they go after her kids and her state so viciously, what else could she do? This politics of personal destruction has gone too far on both sides. No wonder we don't have any good, ethical, common sense women to run for national office after witnessing this media circus and travesty. This is very demoralizing, but that's exactly what Saul Alinsky taught the liberals to do. Demonize and demoralize and then POUNCE!!! We can't let them keep us down. I don't blame Sarah for resigning and I believe her when she says that it is better for Alaskans. Go Sarah!!! Keep the faith!!!

I would say this is Sarah Palin's way of doing the honorable thing by saving Alaska from the constant barrage of attacks the libs are throwing at her. It shows they are afraid of her and she is not taking the bait. She is a voice for many of us and I for one am proud that she is speaking up. She truly has a way of getting her point across like no one else I've seen. I hope her family can survive the vicious people like the Huff Post , cnn and msnbc. They are just name callers and cowards because they are afraid of her values and character. These are virtues the loose libs do not want to make the effort to stand up for- so they just trash her because she does. Please Sarah be strong and stand with us and speak for us. You do it the best!

Gov Palin did give her reasons for quiting now, but it seems the people who "didn't hear" are those who don't understand others who act for others versus for themselves.
