What Do You Think of Palin's Resignation?
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.

Thank You for Your Submission!

Good point.

You're young and stupid. We did the same thing under the Carter Administration. Liberals only know how to tax and spend our money. They have no fiscal discipline. Study you history.
Major Tom
fox won't let me respond it seems
Major Tom
mersey... i've have attempted to respond to this comment 3 times, however, fox doesn't like me quoting the far worse unmployment numbers of the reagan administration...
mersey
You just act young with your statements. Anyone who lived through the Carter years know how painful it was for the country. I hate to see this country going down the same path.
Major Tom
How old am I, you seem to know all about me, just wondering...

The attacks on her family, her integrity, her little retarded baby, seems like politics have sunk to a new low.

You haven't seen low until you see the liberal posters on this site.

I thought you might be different nick but I was wrong. No real arguments just name calling!

So 'media saavy' is what it takes to be a leader -- barring all other considerations? No wonder we're all going to hell in a handbasket. She might not have the faux polish of a saavy - disingenuous politician as most of the crooks are now --- but she comes off as REAL. She doesn't come out with polished, deceptively misleading talking-points --- she has guts to go out there and speaks from th heart and off the cuff. Personally I'd rather hear the truth from someone "un-polished/un-saavy" than the bold-faced lies of the professional politicians we now have in Washington. We need to dump them all in the Potomac..

Its funny how she didnt tell ONE solid reason of retiring, but many sketchy reasons so we as the people could pick one, and leave her out of it.

The Three Stooges are in the house!

I betcha Sarah the barracuda with lip stick, or whatever, is going to fall into irrelevance, and no tea party or political paid speech is going to improve her image

Move over Rush. There's a new leader in town. You 'Betcha!

stop the attacks on crook... he is a victum of your evil remarks just like the victum sarah P. I can't stand this partisanship... leave crook alone!!! (sob))

I think she's crazy like a fox! Liberals are in all out panic!

They're scared sh..less

Exactly..an arcitc fox. If she didn't resign, she risks bankruptcy from defending against the bogus litigation. Democrats keep blocking her and impeding Alaskan progress. Her successor is more than capable of moving Alaskan interest along without a rabid liberal media pouncing on the governor's every move.
Being free of public office constraints, she can now attack her attackers without compromising her office.
She can play 2012 kingmaker by consolidating and delivering GOP base. Perhaps a deal with Romney for a choice cabinet spot. Thus setting herself up for a 2016/2020/2024 presidential bid with solid credentials. The beauty of the left's attempt to paint her as an idiot is that she will clandestinely undermine them. The woman is far smarter than she's given credit for. Furthermore..if these bids don't pay off...she stands to make a lot of money as a pundit and commentator..it's win/win for her.
Pepper K
I agree. For once, a politician who cares about the public and the country, spending, etc.
Heidi
I think it's great. I believe she did it for the right reasons. Let's let her be for a bit.
Capn Jack
How pathetic all of you haters are. You’re afraid of a successful, intelligent woman like Sarah. You spend hours posting because you are afraid, if she was so meaningless you would find somewhere else to spew your stupidity.
Craig
"Intelligent" must be a very subjective word for you because nothing she has said or done beguiles anything beyond sub par intelligence.
And you seem to misinterpret criticism for fear, its an easy argument to try and make. It gets you out of having to defend your argument about how great she is, its an easy cop out statement.
mersey
And you're trying to tell me that the Huffington Compost bloggers here on Fox are showing any signs of intelligence? I think not.
Major Tom
who's afraid?... I'm asking what you expect her to accomplish... You say she has a bright future... what can she accomplish now?>>> I really don';t understand, and would appretiate any help with that topic... it seems impossible for her to effective now...
Elixer
This the real issue, All these so called jounalist are nothing but depraved sexual fiends who grow tired of abusing their own bodies and serch for the good and wholesome to perform thier fiendish verbal acts on those they could never emulate. Thier parents never loved them the way Sarah loves hers so they attack, much like the islamo-facists who attack capitalism, Jews, Christians and anyone who does not comply with thier perverted view of humanity. Jounalist, news editors on tv as well as print, look at them they fear no God, the search for no higher standard . You all would do well to turn off your tv and listen to Rush. Jounalist the new Used car salesman!
Major Tom
wow, You went from normal to crazy in less then 5 words... you lost me at 'the real issue'...

I believe anyone who runs as a republican should be ready to deal with any problems their self. The rebublicans don't watch out for each other like the Democrats do. The Republicans run like scared chickens.

There are many that heard SP statement but, few listened, I believe her spin is what does anything matter if you lose your country, she doesn't think the country can wait until 2012, there fore she will work her butt off to help remake congress with her values, if it cost her the WH so be it.. She just set there and do nothing.
CVA-9
Cor. She just can't set there and do nothing.
Crook
Cor. She just can't SIT there and do nothing.

For someone that keeps blaming the media, I wonder why she still calls press conferences.
noblinkster
Just a thought but is there a third party brewing?
Capn Jack
Maybe we can unite Conservative Republicans, Conservative Democrats, Independents, Libertarians and Constitutionalists under a new Freedom Party which will act as the heart and soul of real Americans.
Major Tom
there certainly seems to be a new "politcal realignment"
stoptheinsanity
personally I don't care, I have never thought she was right for pres so what she does outside of running in 2012 is not concern to me, hopefully she can put a fire under the repubs however?
Major Tom
I don't see how she can recover... she continues to create more damage for her image every time she opens her mouth... just spend 10 minutes in youtube.... you'lll get your fill of her lack of media saavy...

Are you referring to VP Biden or Palin?

I don't want to elect someone cause they know how to campaign and give speeches. Actions speak louder than words. I don't want someone who "spins" it to suit the crowd they are speaking to. Very shallow.
Major Tom
ok well that's my point too.. what has she accomplished for you guys?
Preacher
I KNOW that Fox has spent too much time on that other story, and after today, I hope MJ will not be on the TV anymore.
Can't watch Fox today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Roxiebell_Las Vegas
Since the climate of politics is unprecedented these days I think her unprecedented resignation fits right in & as a private citizen she can raise money for conservative causes and earn money for herself & her fmaily that she (& the state of Alaska) doesn't have to WASTE on battling her attackers. As a woman the more I think about it, the more I agree with her, she is giving her State a break and allowing herself to earn enough to cover her own legal costs. If we had "you lose, you pay" laws in this country targets and victims like Sarah wouldn't have to be subject to such onslaughts. Maybe thats one of the causes she will fight for?
Nan from Texas
You're right. Been a victim! Whether she makes it to presidency or not, I, for one, believe she will demonstrate that she is fighting for the America that I love and have enjoyed my 74 years til now!!! She is warrior, not a coward!
Major Tom
So she is a woman politician playing the victim... She has only been a mayor, and served a half a term as gov... why do conservatives put so much faith in her... ?...It seems to me, she plays right into the stereotypes of liberals... isn't the goal to elect people into government, ?????
TruGrit
Nick, What has BO ever accomplished?? Why we still like her? Because she is honest, not from the Beltway, or from an ivory league school. She is very much like an average american. Too bad your liberal eyes will not open to see that. And she has more accomplishements then BO. One thing for sure she has matered giving speeches without a teleprompter.
Lemure
No Liberal has been attacked as she has for no reason. She was thrust on the stage and has done nothing to anyone but stand up for what she believes. She is a strong woman, has a plan, we just have to see what it pans out to be. If liberals weren't so afraid of her, they would not have tried to destroy her as they have.
be
Well, what we have in the WH is a community organizer who spent his senatorship campaigning! What's your point? Anybody can win now. The bar has been lowered as far as it can go!

@nick- Honesty comes to mind and backround. No suspicious relationships. No Rev. Wright or Bill Ayers and a lot more. Putin just made the POTUS look like a simple minded school boy. Also her state does not need bailing out.
