All I need to know about Sarah Palin

On July 3rd, 2009, Sarah Palin resigned as Governor of Alaska, figuratively nailing the following sign to her door: “Men Wanted For Hazardous Journey. Small wages. Bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness. Constant danger. Safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in case of success.”
This most famous newspaper advertisement ever penned placed its original author, Sir Ernest Shackleton, in the position of selecting his Antarctic expeditionary crew from among 5,000 applicants. Comparing Sarah Palin to Shackleton might appear to stretch the limits of metaphorical license, even for an Irishwoman given to hyperbole. I contend that it pales when compared to giving a Marxist revolutionary with two weeks of Presidential experience the Peace Prize offered to Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Theresa, or Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Sarah Palin will be the next President of the United States, and the secret to her success is a characteristic she shares with all true leaders, tenacity.

The job our next president will face is not for the faint of heart and the future of the nation will be in the balance. It is not a job for a quitter.

To: Soul of the South
All plenty true.
And, perhaps she is a Queen Esther figure born for such a time as this and to be placed in such a role by some miracles of God.
Short of that . . .
she’ll merely be part of a complex script . . .

the reason she quit was they were using the ethics law to bankrupt her and her staff with crazy allegations. When they went after her staff who lack the ability to cover very expensive legal bills, they had to quit. Remember they filed I BELIEVE more than 20 charges in a matter of months.

And what has she been doing since she “quit”?
She has been carrying the national torch for conservatism with wider power and influence than anyone else in politics.
To: Soul of the South
Or an establishment politician or rino if you like that better.

For God’s sake, how long are you going to carry that same, worn out, liberal-fed torch about Sarah being a “quitter?” You need to come up with something original if you can.

People who toss that tired "quitter" message out there haven't got a frickin' clue. I'm not going to tell you how brilliant that move was. It's time for you folks to sit down, THINK and figure it out for yourselves!
