Love her or hate her -- you are talking about her

As has been stated before, the conventional wisdom in Washington is if you have bad news you bury it by announcing it late on Friday afternoon.   Nothing could be further from the truth when it comes to Sarah Palin.  She announced that she was resigning her position as Governor of Alaska and media on both sides of the isle can't stop talking about her.  One must ask why?    Why is she so hated, feared, loved???  

During the last presidential elections, Sarah Palin said many things that most of us knew to be true, and many have since proven to be true, like Barack Obama paling around with terrorists.  Just being a private citizen, like that's a bad thing, Sarah Palin can truly speak her mind and share her beliefs, beliefs that so many American citizens also share.

According to a Gallup Poll,  Americans, by a 2-to-1 margin, say their political views in recent years have become more conservative rather than more liberal.  You can't say that about our present elected officials, but it is true of private citizens.

I do not believe that Sarah Palin is leaving politics forever [see my predictions below].  Just look at the words she used in her announcement ... "I WILL,  ...STAND FOR... FIGHT FOR...  CONTINUE TO...  SPEAK OUT..."  Also look at the reasons for resigning vs reasons to stay on, and it is obvious she has done the right thing for her family, her future, Alaska's future and the future of America.  She is putting Alaska first, leaving her position of Governor which brought with it endless frivolous lawsuits draining both Alaska and the Palin family financially.  Jay Valentine says:
 

The fight is between an out of control government led by media and government elites and common sense Americans, of both parties, who have had enough.  Sarah Palin is in the enviable, although personally painful position, of being the "anti elite" voice of common sense and shared American values. 

The vicious left put her there and now they may live to regret it. [snip]

What an irony if the only American President who can make a 3 point shot were taken out by a point guard who came up to his shoulder.  And if the guard was a chick -- who went to a no name school?

After reading J.R. Dunn's thoughts on Sarah Palin and the utterly retarded and useless Republican Party (see below), I predict that the country may be ripe for a third party -- a true Conservative party -- and Sarah Palin will be leading the charge.  Either that, or she will bust the old rank and file of the GOP wide open, shake that useless tree free of all the dead wood and set it back on the right direction.

She will be back. Not for 2012. The GOP has its plans already worked out. Very clever ones, too. The Republicans will do what they always do when they're up against it: grab an empty suit and run around shaking it in people's faces while shouting, "Here's the man!" By 2012, after his policies really hit home, as gas and home fuel prices triple and quadruple, as medical rationing begins, as the renewed Axis of Evil runs wild across Eurasia, Obama will be ready to drop. At that point he could be defeated by a ticket consisting of Charley Manson and Jojo the Dogface Boy. But the GOP will blow it all the same. Exactly as the party did in '96, following the same script to the letter. They will, to coin a phrase, Mitt it up.

That moment will mark the start of a new phase for Sarah Palin. The exquisite branch of conservatism will drift away, assuring each other that "It's still possible to live well in a dying civilization." The GOP operatives will, as always, be blaming the "legacy of Reagan" and looking for a RINO who can somehow fool the backwoods rubes. Obama will spend his entire second term racing back and forth trying to put out forest fires using buckets with holes in them. Palin's enemies will have destroyed themselves, and her moment will come at last.  (continue)

All the Palin bashing from the Left and even some from the RINOs in the Right, may be helping Palin rather than hurting her.  Conservatives are the true feminists, and Sarah Palin is the leader.  Sarah Palin doesn't need more than twenty attendants costing tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars like Michelle Obama has, she cooks her own meals, washes her own clothes, takes care of her own family, hunts, shoots, fishes, attends church regularly, she loves her husband and he loves her, she can lead a town as mayor, a state as governor, or a country as president ...  That is a feminist in the true Conservative sense.  That's a feminist that men love, women respect, and children can look up to.

I understand Palin will give an interview to Fox News today and I look forward to hearing what she has to say, just as I look forward to following her plans for the next several years.

Go Sarah Go!

The Republican Party that put up John McCain as its standard bearer, lost me.

A party that fronts someone like Sarah Palin, might just get me back.

The Democraps...it'll be a colder day than Hell will ever know, before they offer anything useful or good for the country as a whole, to cast a vote for them. Pelosi? Reid? Barry? Barry Fwank? Puh-lease! A party of criminals and morons! And now add Al Franken to that pack of buffoons.

I sure hope so.

"....I predict that the country may be ripe for a third party -- a true Conservative party -- and Sarah Palin will be leading the charge."

We're all yearning for a truly conservative party.

"Go Sarah Go!"

Indeed, i just hope it won't take that much destruction for her to try and pick up the pieces.

Ron: Just emailed you the skull and bones.

A.C.: Yes I noticed that, there are Conservatives who call themselves Democrats (I don't understand that).

[Ron Russell]

Debbie, I see a third party coming--many Republicans have simply not gotten it. I have a good close friend who was a state senator for my district here in SW MS for 12 years. He was very conservative, but did not fit in with the local country club set of Republicans. I often asked him why he didn't run as a republican, and he told me I just didn't get it. A good man, but a life-long Democrate locally and a Republican of the national scene. Sarah will run in 2012, but on a third party ticket and that could be good or bad depending on the prevailing winds at that moment in histroy.

I like that revolving skull and bones where can I get one of those.

I'm not convinced she's out of politics forever, either, but I'd put money she's out of Republican politics for awhile. Her statement emphatically said she'd back those from either party who she thinks are doing the right thing, which says to me she's going indy.
