Outgoing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Saturday laid the groundwork to take on a larger, national role after leaving state government, citing a "higher calling" with the aim of uniting the country along conservative lines. A day after surprising even her closest friends by announcing she would step down as Alaska governor more than a year before her term was up, the controversial hockey mom was still keeping details of her future plans under wrap.

She's got Congress a little worried... and rightly so. There will be a lot of fools voted out of office next year and that has them worried as well.
Taint
By fools voted out of office you mean the few remaining rethuglicans? Yes?

How many parents out there would allow total strangers to abuse their children out of pure hate? That's what I think of Gov. Palin's resignation.

I have heard the criticism of Sara Palins decision to resign from politicians, both Republican and Democrat, and the TV media, including Fox, and I think they have overlooked a very important point. They are looking at her decision from a political standpoint and Sarah is not a politician. She is a concerned citizen who is involved in politics. That's what I like about her. She does not think or act like a politician. That explains her reasons for resigning and puts them in perspective. Go Sarah you have my support.
Major Tom
well she's not a politician any more...
Taint
I agree with yo when you say Palin "does not think"
Vietnam Veteran
OOPS! I meant to say "concerned citizen involved in government" not "concerned concerned citizen involved in politics".

I think Sarah Palin is going to take the country by storm and eventually retire a very wealthy woman.

well money is the only family value republicans really care about anyway...

To all you liberal. progressive democrats,
You're raging anger for Sara Palin is causing you an early death.
Anger, confusion, etc. is a major cause of stress. We all know stress
causes hardening of the arteries. And, well, we know where that
leads you. What's going to happen when she becomes President ?
Death of the Democratic Party ?
John Houghton
The left is in total fear of Palin. Read Rule #4 in Saul Akinsky's "rules for Radicals'. She is everything they are not and they fear her tremendously. All we need are conservatives to fight back these rules for radicals. They are still looking for a way to indict her....but they never questioned Rezko....hmmm

Personal attacks are a sign of no intelligent rebuttal. State your cause and state your supporting evidence; otherwise, you are considered a fool not to be listened to.

Yes and it made me proud to be an American,even Joe Biden wanted to jump on board taking the tyrant Saddam Hussein out of power. Thank you President Bush and our fine military!

Yes...thanks for a trillion dollar war and thousands dead due to your lies....thanks so very, very much!

Honestly even under the deomcratic small majority rule, the Republicans could block any legislation going through congress. Historically when republicans are not in power they are the kings of the fillibuster esencially bringing congress to its knees and nothing gets done.
Id like the democrats to at least get 1 year without republicans causing a s#$# storm and see how it goes. It could not be much worse then what happened over the last few years, take away government regulation of the free market and we are left with the mess we have now.

The last eight years, were underminded by your socialist friends in congress. We can still save you from the slavery you so love. Just hang in there a little longer.

Good for Sarah, she's got spunk and a backbone which is more than can be said for some of the Washington followers.
The media is pathetic! How would Katie Couric handle the same treatment of
her family ?

To All - I think CROOK was sent here by the DNC to irritate and agitate. He is a nut from ACORN with the IQ of a pimple and the common sense of a 2 year old. If you read his posts they are nothing more than childish gibber jabber. I suggest we don't reply to his posts. it only encourages him. Crook, you can reply to this comment but I will not respond to you. I refuse to waste my time.
Major Tom
why is it impossible to believe he is here to voice his opinion in fox's echo chamber...? That's why I'm here. But If I got paid to do this, I have to admit, I'd take the money...
Major Tom
what does that even mean?
mersey
Because I know that you and Crook would prefer to spend your time watching the Michal Jackson saga.
mersey
He may be from the Huffington Compost, but he was sent here to annoy the Conservatives on Fox. They don't want anything or anybody to get in their way of destroying the country. They'll stoop as low as they have to to meet these ends. And they think if they keep hammering away, Conservatives will get frustrated and go away. But guess what, I'm not. I will continue to stoop to their level and expose them as frauds.

I am sick to death of the personal attacks on Palin. John McCain and Sarah Palin did not win in 2008...Did you liberals get that? I can't imagine saying the things about anyone that have been said about Palin and her children. I am a conservative and am not all that enamoured with Palin, but still don't believe she should be attacked mercilessly and driven to the poor house defending herself against bogus ethics charges.

I think she did the right thing for herself, her family and her state. Time will tell.

I thought at first that I could support her. But the people elected her to do a job.
She choice not to do the job and run for vice president. I believe that all politicians should resign from their office if they are to run for another.
McCain did not do his best to win. Mitt and Newt are the choice for the next president and Vice

I think Alaska will be better served with her not being in the hotseat. And, that her future involvement will show if she's WH material down the line. I'm not discounting her yet.
