There have been a number of seminal queries which our elders used to define game-changing moments in America’s cultural evolution. Where were you when JFK was shot? Where were you when Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon? For me, although it will likely wind up as a Trivial Pursuit bonus round question, one of the treasured turning points may well be: Where were you when Sarah Palin decided to commit political suicide?
The odd thing is that I was up in the mountains, forcing myself into a period of decompression from the political theater. I likely wouldn’t have even known that Governor Palin had decided to resign her office had I not been taking time out from fruitless bass fishing to moderate the chat for Ed Morrissey’s daily show.
The first questions arose in a predictable pattern, since initial reports were grossly lacking in detail. The most horrific scenarios dominated: Was she sick? Was there some tragedy unfolding with her family? The second, and more likely scenario in my view, was that a clever reporter had finally unearthed a bit of discomfiture and asked the governor for comment. In that case, the pending resignation would prove to be a preemptive move to circle the wagons and prepare for the onslaught to come. When an elected official spends so much time and money fighting allegations of ethical misconduct, it should hardly come as a surprise if one of them stuck to the wall...

I know thats right.. maybe she(Sara) has connoted that there must be more than one republican to fill her shoes.. AT least there should be.. If not.. the party should and will DIE...
Heck she can make a few personal appearances for some hardy individual.. and still not lose precious times of the year "at home".. And still have a decent family life..
Say, Ann Coulter, Mark Steyn, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh.., Micheal Savage, even G. Gordon Liddy.. could run for office..

You just proved my point neither quit!
Sarah hunts the moose, shoots the moose and dresses the moose...seems to me the pretty boys in the Republican Party are scared to death of her. God bless Sarah, a breath of fresh logic and common sense.
That was on page two.
A California schools teacher...enough said!
Hold your point.. its fishing season.. I'll git back to ya..
Got skunked up at Montana Creek.. making new plans..
Heck the grouse season opens next month too..
I guess you and Sarah just can’t take it. I think you should take her route and quit too.
Are you a RINO?
Why are you still here on this bashing thread? If you had any convictions, you would be gone a long time ago. Instead you hang around on a thread that you want the moderator to delete. Go figure!
Watch who dominates the news come midterm election time.
Who is the one person that can bring in thousands and money for other candidates?
Palin is it.
I don't recall that controversy about our present POTUS' house and far more nefarious connections was much of a problem for him.
Charlie Rangel is sitting pretty along with a good percentage of Dems with far more egregious ethics violations than the manufactured charges against Sarah.
Well,whatever so does is o.k. by me. I hope she runs for President. If she runs I will vote for her.
If she don’t I can understand. She has been attacked unmercifully and unjustly by the Country Club Republicans.
As previously stated, if she runs I will vote for her.
If she doesn’t run I will let the Country Club Republicans elect their candidate.
Yes, especially one who knows to whom the battle belongs.
Right and since it's on the internet it must be true! By the way, I have it on equally good authority that the moon landing was fake, 9-11 was an inside job and Elvis was an alien.
I have no idea who you are as you don’t bother to say anything in your profile page. You can, however, see my profile and know a little about me.
No one scared of Sarah, I never hear a positive thing about her, even from the GOP. Maybe the Saint Sarah cult should start their own party, the Saint Sarah party. Their slogan can be "You Betcha"! Mascot a moose with lipstick.
You said to AJKauf — Wow! You have quite a posting history. On the first full page it is nothing but articles that bash conservatives AND NOT A SINGLE FREAKING COMMENT FROM YOU on anything you posted!

Yep, a typical “hit and run” poster. When someone posts an article and never discusses, that’s exactly what you’ve got.
Should be illegal on forums like it is with driving cars, too — no “hit and runs” allowed...
I am completely amazed at how clueless most of the inside-the-beltway commentators are. This woman single-handily pulled McLame’s up-from-the-self-inflicted bottom of the presidential campaign to a point where he was actually competative and would have won or come close to winning the Presidency if he had had any comprehension of how to win an election.
I saw how Sarah Palin energized the crowds. She scared the heck out of the dems and the boot-licking media. I think that she saw what most of the RINOS missed. That is, that this is a conservative populace who believes that this country is worth fighting for. McCain lost the election when he called the elderly gentlemen down for daring to call Obama what he was; a lying, thieving coward. McCain was absolutely gutless and deserved to lose because he lacked any core values that he actually believed in.
You can take it to the bank that Sarah Palin has good old American values that she believes with every fiber of her being and she will fight for those values like a mama grizzley protecting her cubs. She also has bigger cajones than any man in the republican party or the democrat party too, for that matter.
I pray every night that the democrats will continue to abuse and degrade her, because there is one thing the American people will not tolerate; the abuse of a good woman and I’ve never seen any other woman with all the fine qualities she possesses.
Sarah Palin will win the presidency in 2012 by a Reagan sized landslide.
You said — More ridiculousness from a Romneybot.

Well, I hope they got the message from Jim Robinson, then...
Unlike Romney’s “National Council for a New America,” Free Republic is a conservative site!

If there is anyone here who doesn’t understand why we cannot support a slick socialist politician like Mitt Romney, God help you, but you’re on the wrong website. We went through this with the abortionist, gay rights activist, illegal alien supporting, gun grabbing Rudy Giuliani until someone created another website call WAnkers for Rudy and they all flew the coop. Hopefully, before too much FReeper blood is shed, someone will create a WAnkers for Romney site and we can be left to fight the good fight as we see fit!
FR is not for everyone!
Any other questions, Romney-bots?... :-)
You have just sacrificed your right to ever take the moral high ground again. When someone talks about Palin’s ugly children, or W and Laura’s ugly twins...you have no right to criticize them. Your post is beneath this forum.
