BREAKING NEWS: Sarah Palin Turning Power Over to Lt. Governor
Will resign end of month. Lt. Governor will be sworn in July 25.
What's up...
http://politicalticker.bl...
WASHINGTON (CNN) – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is expected to announce Friday that she will not seek a second term, three sources tell CNN.
Palin has scheduled a 3 p.m. ET news conference at her home in Wasilla. The governor’s office offered no further details about the subject of the news conference, but the sources tell CNN that Palin will announce her decision to forgo another run.
"She thinks she has accomplished goals she has set forward," one of the sources, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said. "She sees what a positive influence she has had on people's lives from traveling the country in the last year."
As the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, Palin is considered one of the frontrunners for the GOP nomination in 2012. Her decision not to seek another term as governor is sure to stoke speculation that Palin is seriously eyeing a run for the White House
output
If she renounces everything
If she renounces everything she said in the campaign I would forgive her, but we are left with the fact that she cannot communicate very well at all. And I couldn't take the folksy speak either. "I'm a-runnin' fer president"
I bet she becomes
A lobbyist , more money in it. And she can stay close to the Washington crowd .
Being an Oil
lobbyist, would be her natural fit.
Palin is Israel's bitch... she can rot!
"Hell is truth seen too late...duty neglected in its season."- Tryon Edwards
She's welcome to come....
As long as she drops fundamentalism, fanatical support of Israel, support of huge government and generally becomes a fiscal conservative again.
She can return anytime she wants as far as I'm concerned then.
I would not have voted for Palin
I should make that clear. I respect her, and I think she's a good person. She is NO Ron Paul, but she is her own person, and I respect her. I think she figured she's been a useful idiot long enough. I look foreward to the "mavrick" Palin.
You are either “in” or you’re not.
The mere fact that the MSM and the elites marginalize her (along with Dr. Paul) every chance they get should be a huge (hit you on your head) hint to every person capable of thinking.
For God’s sake people, think!
I never heard a good reason for resignation....
and I never did like Palin. She would have had my support in a second if she'd said, "You betcha my husband belongs to Alaska First. We think the best thing for Alaska & many other states would be so seceed from the union. Alaska is nothing like Alabama, the way Italy is nothing like Belgium. Why should we have all these states? We'd all be better off as individual states & be able to keep all that money we send to the District of Criminals for ourselves." But no, she joined lock-step with the neo-cons & marched with the RINOS right into the shithole they created. So long Sarah. If you get a tv gig, I'll never watch you, just the way I never watch Huckabee.
Politics sucks big time right now. I've come to the conclusion that government is the worst thing to happen to a culture.
The lesson from Sanford and now Palin
The lesson from Sanford and now Palin is, if you take on the establishment, you better 1) be squeaky clean, and 2) be knowledgeable, intelligent and articulate.
Ron Paul is both, and that is why he was not run out of Washington long ago.
Great observation. How true.
Great observation. How true.
Give me star power
and the message of liberty is easily transmitted with intelligence, knowledge and aticulately. The other side takes 1200 pages per issue.
She's leaving the country..
So what happened in the Senate today?
The Elites do not like her
I do not understand the comments from so many of you. If the elites do not like her, we must embrace her. She has star power which gives the liberty message another platform.. If the elites are attacking that means they are threatened. Bring her on board.
She didn't say she was leaving the country
But I wonder
Would you?
She's getting out, so is Sanford.. I don't know but it seems Republicans are droppin' like flies..
The last republican standing will be Ron Paul!
Every republican that leaves means that the chances improve to get this party back to some grass roots beliefs, like the supporting the Constitution.
I do not believe that RP is going anywhere.
No, I would not leave
Sanford should leave. and yes, I agree the GOP is abandining ship... not Arnold though....
with Franken in that really does tip the scale doesn't it .

Prediction - Palin to FNC
Immediately following roundtable commentary on Obama's acceptance speech in Denver Fox News cut to a remote Greta Van Sustern covering the McCain campaign. I recorded and revisited the broadcast once Palin was announced as McCain's running mate. It became immediately obvious Fox News was in on the information but held it at the behest of campaign officials. Formerly it was almost impossible to imagine a media organization withholding information from the public at the direction of operatives within political entities. Exceptions to the rule were rare, one that comes to mind is the Kennedy administration's plea to a the editor of a major newspaper asking him to hold reporting on the emerging Cuban missile crisis until the President's television address. The request was founded on reasons of dire national security and the editor very reluctantly complied.
Fast forward to 2008 and FNC's cosy relationship with RNC communications. As instances of news anchors parroting off internal party talking points almost verbatum began to surface along with the presence of Carl Rove on a nightly basis, it doesn't take a conspiracy theorist to conclude FNC chief Roger Ailes, a former political advisor to Nixon and Reagan, allowed the dividing lines between journalism and pubic relations to blur beyond recognition.
So here is a prediction; she will have her own show on Fox News. It has already been arrainged. It'll boost ratings and give her an idologically friendy platform to repair her image from. Oh, and lots of bucks for shopping sprees. Check that - a sponsor-provided revolving wardrobe.
Just watch.
Or maybe
She'll get an international MSM YouTube gig with Russia?
She would have more "power" as a talk-show host
Unless the election is rigged- she and her family will suffer unparalleled humiliation. I cant bear to watch another road to the whitehouse in a minivan. I cant be held responsible for my involuntary bi*tch-slappin' of anyone I see campaigning for that punchline.
I liked her before she was nominated by McCain,
but she was a different person during the general election. Trying to be something she wasn't. Don't get me wrong, she wasn't ready for prime time yet, but she has/had potential. I'm surprised she didn't resign sooner. I'm sorry, but the media was even close to being fair in their treatment of her. Hell, McCain's people weren't fair either. The dems in Alaska started several ethics inquiries and came up with nothing. Hopefully she will make some speeches, make millions of dollars and raise her family. Maybe 2016 would be a good year for her. I don't understand the hate on here for her. There are far worse Republicans then Palin.
Same page
I think I'm on about the same page as you one my view of Palin.
My wife mentioned a run for Senate. What do you think of that idea?
I learned today that Sara's real backer:
Bill Kristol, was also Dan Quayle's Chief of Staff.. man he likes the empty one's
God Help Us All ...
If Bloody Bill Kristol is backing anybody that has a snowballs chance in hell of being elected to any federal office ever again.
She's honest
and now she's going indy and leaving all the milk maids in the GOP behind.
We'll see how honest she is
eom
We'll who?
You've made about a half dozen posts on this thread insulting Palin. You don't respect Palin. You've made that perfectly clear, to the point that bashing Sarah is what you're all about today.
Can you debate her speach? I don't think you can. Like some posters here, you are unable to "hear" what she is saying, and since you only look for crap, that's all you find.
I have more interest that crap when someone resigns, and it appears a few folks on this thread are also inclined to debate the speach.
She claims t=she and her husband have a half million dollars in court cases from politicos who have harrassed her ... She's resigning and I hope we di hear from her because I would like to know more about that.
I don't respect Bill Kristol
who found & coached & promoted Sara Palin.
Why do you respect a Kristol puppet.
& I tried to hear what she had to say.. but the lady rambled on & on & didn't make much sense.. as usual. (imo)
Kristol apparently has POWER
POWER is something one respects, when one understands what POWER is and what POWER can do.
Now if Kristol has so much POWER, that he can take Palin and position her to beat Hilary in one election, then not only do I respect Kristol for his POWER, that of my understanding of it, but I respect him for showing everyone in the world, what games are being played when Hillary has to spend decades to do what Palin was able to do in one election.
It's respectable, and I respect it.
Sorry Granger
Kristol is just a neo-con war cheerleader & his pick for VP lost & brought the GOP down.
I respect folks that do something good for America & Kristol is a cancer.
McLIberal brought the GOP
McLIberal brought the GOP hacks down. Palin is the only reason why McLiberal made a race out of it. If the political hacks and the MSM attacked her so visiously, I think she is worth keeping her on a need more information position.
"The price of Freedom is Eternal Vigilance"- Thomas Jefferson
Kristol is more like ...
the Black Death. He must have boatloads of pictures of heavy hitters in the MSM and in DC in compromising sexual situations. That aside, I have absolutely NO clue why they would give that bum one minute on TV or a chance to write an Op Ed in your county paper.
Oh I agree
YOU gave Kristol WAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaY more power than I would have.
The Granger, I beg to disagree and
The Granger, I beg to disagree and according to the youtube video link listed below, so does Ron Paul.
Kristol has plenty of power since his father Irving is known as the founding father of the neo con movement.
However, I tend to doubt that this is anything new (no pun intended) to you. You seem to know much more then you let on.
http://www.youtube.com/wa...
Specifically what do you disagree?
It appears that maybe some folks here do not understand how respect works.
One does not have to love or like a rattle snake to respect the fact a rattle snake can kill you. If you're in rattle snake country, you might start thinking to do things a certain way out of respects to the habitat and habits of the rattle snake.
For example, taking your finger and trring to poke the eyes out of the snake will get you killed if poking it's eyes out with your finger is as far as you respect the snake.
Neocons and Neolibsa are the same animal, both have infiltraited the major parties and why we see a bipartmanship... I think some neocons, like Dan Quale and Sarah Palin are good people, who because of a human weakness, could be ego, or power, or sex, drugs, they become useful idiots, being pandered and flattered and led to lead..
I watched an Obama speach the other day, and what "got me" was his body language was saying, "I'm a puppet". It was as if he was THE PRESIDENT, The Mesiah, and he's was nothing but what he was... "the green face of Oz"... and he saw himself for what he was... used, as Palin, I believe.
I think Kristol, or whoever is the "king maker" chooses stooges, and that's not meaning to be insulting... but I think many of us know more about American history from all the YouTubes, than those elected, like Palin. Sarah Palin was a slap in the face to Hillary, and yet,.to my memory, she never once attacked her. That's class. And Sarah had class. She's cool. I bet she's awesome to go hunting or fishing with. I'd go. She's funny, she's honest and she's refreshing...
John McCain being called a "maverick"... that was the funniest thing in the whole campaign...
After the last election, if it is not apparent the game is rigged...I just read a letter form the editor in our local paper from one of our county GOP big wigs, telling us here, that the GOP is for an increase of park fees to $15.00. There was another letter in the paper that was definately a Liberty lover, and I thought... RP... This area is so ready, and yet, with Arnold as Governor... he's running for president,
If Palin leaves the USA I'd like to know about it, wouldn't you?
I disagreed with your
I disagreed with your comment about you not giving Kristol credit for as much power as another poster gave him. And this was my reply:
Kristol has plenty of power since his father Irving is known as the founding father of the neo con movement.
Also, I'm confused about what you are attempting to say in your following statement. Who here does not understand how respect works? Just spit it out in plain English. Because I have a difficult time understanding anything that is not straight talk.
BTW, it appears I was right you do know more then you let on.

Kristol is a Big NeoCon....
with an agenda. He is dangerous.
And what about his father
And what about his father Irving?
http://www.youtube.com/wa...
If Palin is a friend of Kristol, then...well you know how they say your friends reflect on you. Palin needs to choose her friends more wisely.
cactus: That was another memorable RP moment.
He let TSHTF that day!
Irving is worse.
Do the sons bear the sins of the fathers or not? (In this case, yes.)
Exodus 20:5, Deuteronomy 5:9 and Deuteronomy 24:16; Ezekiel 18:20
1. Yes they do
1. (Exodus 20:5) - "You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me,"
2. (Deuteronomy 5:9) - "You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me,"
3. (Exodus 34:6-7) - "Then the Lord passed by in front of him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; 7who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations."
4. (1 Cor. 15:22) - "For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive."

Yes and here's some more
Yes and here's some more history on the founding of the neo cons by Bill's father Irving.
Interesting read.

Neoconservative Think Tank Influence on US Policies
Irving Kristol
Yes, I agree
I wonder if he'll do for Arnold for pres and he's done for palin?
LOL
"You don't respect Palin." - Not many on here do; (and rightly so).
"I hope we di hear from her because I would like to know more about that." - Maybe you should go join & post on a Palin Populist support forum.
Obama = O.ne B.ig A.ss M.istake A.merica
"Many" is herd SHEEP mentality
If I want my traffic directed I'll ask a Democrat.
Would that be you?
Not in all cases
it isn't. And it definitely isn't here. This is a Ron Paul support site and we all support him & his platform. This does not make us sheep.
Lol!! Me, a Demo...yeah that'll be the day. Neo-Cons (Palin) & Old-School conservatives (Paul) do not mix, (as we all saw what happened during the presidential campaigns). And it would actually be you on the Democrat side since populists (Palin - who you appear to back) support a "constitutional democracy" and not a "constitutional republic."
Obama = O.ne B.ig A.ss M.istake A.merica
twist and spin
I support Palin as a woman who is about to find her own power... If she is not taken out.
Yeah, good -
She's a populist pageant contestant neo-con who can see Russia from her house. What power!!
Obama = O.ne B.ig A.ss M.istake A.merica
I tried to watch her speech
But it was like listening to Charlie Brown's Teacher...WhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWha
WhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWha
WhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWha
WhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWha
WhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWha
WhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWha
WhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWha
WhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWha
WhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWha
WhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWhaWha
Were the pompoms
laying down by her feet?
So she wants out, for whatever she sees in the future, she is giving it to whomever will take it, and telling "Alaaska" to like it. She isn't having fun any more, but it is all because she has to take care of her family. She has reached the point of diminishing returns, but she would NEVER do anything that wasn't better for those she affects. She would NEVER ditch her duties because they have gotten unglamorous for her. She wants out and is breathlessly happy that the time has come to make the announcement. I just wonder what the real story is.
