I think Levi is trying to hold onto his “fame”.

Not like I'm privvy to inside info....

But I think she resigned because she got tired of lightweight twits like this Levi character lining up to take a piece out of her.

No idea why anyone with a shred of qualifications would want to enter politics, anyway.

She’s the grandmother of his baby.

I could NEVER do this to my baby.

It’s unbelievable — the evil in this man’s heart.

Well resigning sure seemed to have put a stop to it. Frankly, there probably a large element of truth from ol Levis, among other factors, for her resignation. That doesn't make her bad. Matter of fact, she's probably smart to strike while the irons hot.

It saddens me to what this chump has become. All he’s doing is carrying the liberal’s water, and if Palin succeeds or withdraws from public life, then he’ll be useless.

Don't beat him up. He's just a kid and we all know kid's love fame. They have been conditioned to seek fame through TV. That is what a poll not long ago stated.
Fame was the number one way to become rich. Every young boy is going to grow up and be a ball player.

Fame is a way to get noticed. They don't understand that there are bad kinds of fame. (Columbine killers)

I guess greed (on his part) is all he is interested in.

Hundreds of thousands in personal legal bills and millions in state of Alaska legal bills on phony ethics complaints as long as she was Governor.

If you leave to stop that personal and state financial bleeding, and book some engagements to make some money to pay your bills, that’s common sense.

Under those conditions, calling it “cashing in” is stupid.

... who says he thinks Palin resigned to cash in on her fame.

There's the reason right there to discount whatever this yahoo has to say, on this or any other issue. It requires one to accept that he actually thinks.

Levi is the poster boy for ‘useful idiot’.

Charlie Daniels weighs in:

Fear and Loathing Continued.

A couple of months ago, I wrote about the attacks on former Miss California, Carrie Prejean, by the liberal media. Well, in the immortal words of Yogi Berra, “This is like déjà vu all over again.”

Recently David Letterman had some scathing and disrespectful jokes about Sarah Palin and her family and since Mrs. Palin had been the object of so much scorn from the left I, for one, was really surprised at the furor of the public outcry against Letterman.

Why all the criticism and sick humor over an ordinary housewife who just happened to become the governor of Alaska.

I can tell you in one word, fear.

The left and most particularly the Democrat Party are literally scared of Sarah Palin, not her personally but what she represents.

Sarah Palin is what the founding fathers of this nation meant for a politician to be. She has not spent her life in politics; she is not a career politician. She is not subject to the whims of the machine and represents all that is good about being a wife and mother.

She is much more macho than ninety percent of the wimps who make up the House and Senate and could probably kick the butts of the political hacks who have spent their lives sitting behind a desk in Washington doing whatever they have to do to stay in office.

The Democrats weren’t afraid of John McCain, they knew that Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton could beat him, but they saw something in Sarah Palin that the Republican Party has not had in decades, a totally fresh face who represents middle America and the values they hold dear.

Mrs. Palin is a Christian and a mother who has stood by her daughter through an out of wedlock birth and a governor who has gone against the big boys in her state and won.

If Sarah Palin was the dunce that the mainstream media and their compadres made her out to be they would simply leave her alone, they’d just give her enough rope and she’d hang herself.

But deep down they know that she is a smart and capable woman and as she becomes better known by the American people and they realize what she stands for, she will start to gain more and more support and that support could become a juggernaut that could catapult her into national office and that’s their worst nightmare.

It’s the same old liberal methodology, if you’re afraid of something or someone, destroy it, don’t give it a chance to become a real threat.

If you notice, the same people who made so light of Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky want to hang Mark Sanford, the governor of South Carolina, for his affair with a lady from Argentina. Why is one alright and one so wrong? It’s because one is a Democrat and one is a Republican, and every Republican the left can destroy is one more they don’t have to deal with.

Now Sarah has resigned as Governor of Alaska, raising speculation that she will seek a Senate seat in 2010, or possibly even the White House in 2012. Regardless of what the future holds for her, don’t look for the attacks from the left to let up anytime soon.

There are others out there like Sarah Palin and let’s hope that they will start coming forth and keep the liberals up at night.

Myself, I like a woman who can handle a high-powered rifle.

What do you think?

Pray for our troops

God Bless America

Charlie Daniels

The ethics complaints can continue for sometime even after she departs the office. And for better or worse, they likely won’t stop.

Even if she’s doing it to pay the bills, she’s doing it for the money. And again, ain’t nothing wrong with that. If I had legal bills, I’d use all the talents I had to earn money to pay them off.

Apparently young Levi has developed an addition to publicity; nothing, not even his own son, will stand in his way of his getting it.

Levi, your 15 minutes is over.

There will be no book deal, no made for YouTube movie, no trailer trash reality show, or any 'big bucks' production for you to cash in.

You are just a tool being used by the media.

Bristol was right to dump you.
