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.

Great post, seems you are one of the very few that heard and (listened) to Sarah, IMHO, I believe she thinks the country can't wait until 2012, something has to happen in 2010..

Liberal Lies
I am a Palin fan with the T-shirt, however, this is another turkey slaughter in the background moment.

Jared--did you just say that resigning wont stop the liberals from making fun of her handicapped child??? My God--I hope that you did not mean that.
Jared in La
Haha no, im not heartless, but if she thinks that resigning her position in office will stop criticism, she has another thing coming

Mersey: GET A LIFE! DANG, and yes i said that, and its true. Resigning wont stop people from talking about her, its life, people talk, get over it, it may not be right, but its life
mersey
That's not what you said, and you know it. These are your words.......GOP3: So you think she resigned because people were making fun of her handicapped child? Resigning wont stop that
Constitution Rocks
I wish BO had been scrutinized the same way Sarah Palin has been. I am sure that if anyone asked her to present her birth certificate to be sure she qualified to be POTUS by the rules of the U.S. Constitution she would have it handy along with her visa, college loan applications, and any papers she wrote showing her political viewpoints. She is not a smooth talker like BO, but she speaks from the heart and is able to relate to the average mainstream American without an idealogue writing her speaches. I predict that she will be out giving speaches to shore up the Conservative factions of this country. She will probably be advocating the adherence to the God given rights of WE THE PEOPLE. She will be a strong advocate of the U. S. Constitution.. The Dems. are afraid of her and it is very telling the way they persecute her and her children.

Palin resigning stops the liberal lawsuits that are costing Alaskans money.
Is it that hard to comprehend?
I do get tired of repeating myself to the polisci kids who frequent this site. At least they may learn a few things - like the truth.

I think Washington is full of jealous little kids because they don't want one side or the other to out do the other. It is a constant feud between parties. That bunch can tell more lies than a court trial can. We can have a president that has an affair while in office but you let one republican look at another women they are ready to throw him out . Sarah Palin comes along and makes a big splash and all the liberals and democrats goes after her and even used her kids trying to disgrace her. How sorry can the littles kids on the hill in Washington get . They would sell their own Momma for a nickel. So that is politics.
puckerup America
Everyone knows she is resigning so her state won't have to endure the costs of the frivolous liberal lawsuits. Imagine that? A politician doing something in the best interest of their constituents.

Sarah Palin, Is Not a QUITTER...
Taint
She's a "resigner"....which is way different from a quitter. Because you see, she resigned rather than quit. Which is way different....because the Tundra Princess says it is.

Is you Momma's name Palin too?

well resign, quit, whatever you call it, what if she does that if shes president?

Remember the President is surrounded by people who ward of f such things. A battery of thugs from Chicago that if they can't smear you into oblivion, they'll break your kneecaps.

Well....if she were a liberal president, she would not have to quit because nobody would be making fun of her handicapped child.

And what do you call someone who quits?

Just explain to us, why Washington is so afraid of her? I keep waiting for someone to explain this to us. It is comng from the top of the chain.

What ever Sarah Palin decides to do the media will not leave her or her family alone. It' not fair for OB to say his family is off limits, and will not say any thing about the way this Lady is treated by the media.
CzarsRUs
Liberals do not believe in fairness. They only believe in humiliating and deriding handicapped children.
puckerup America
Lawsuits cost taxpayer money. Pain for all.
Resigning stops the pain - for the sake of her state. That's what she willl be remembered for - her sacrifice.
Taint
So you're saying Palin going away stops the pain. I think we can all agree on that one!

Mersey, you have been on ALL day, and has responded to EVERY left wing post. Do you have a life AT ALL? Or do you just sit around on foxnation all day?

You mean the washed up baseball commentator!
How many brain cells did you lose watching that one?
Did he finally tell you her reasons?
No more costing Alaskans time and money for frivolous lawsuits. The bill is at 2 million, and she refuses to let it get any higher! Good for her!

Only 10 people tuned in for the original airing. You may get another 6 or 7 for the repeat.

Yeah loons, go get your marching orders!

Sarah Palin was first elected to a seat on the Wasilla City Council in October of 1992 and was reelected in 1995. In 1996, she ran for and won the Office of Mayor and was reelected in 1999. She concluded her public service as Mayor in 2002 and was unable to run again due to term limits.
Samuel,
Why spew lies? Do you get your info by osmosis? by psychic readings? by the stars alignment? What?
