Astute observation
AND SHE SAID IT ALL WITHOUT A TELEPROMPTER!
Methinks the pantywaist libs will rue the day they went after Sarah's family.
If she would have only announced that she was not seeking a second term, it would have left her too vulnerable to further attack.
This will allow her free reign to fight/attack back.
It's interesting to see and read how that quote on her fridge is even playing out on these threads.
Anyone that reads her speech can fully understand what is going on.
I say TRUST her.
Frankly, I hope they keep it up, and show the folks watching just how despicable they are, at least those who didn't already know.
Agreed. She gave in - could not take it....is how it will appear no matter what occurred.
“All other considerations aside, the fact that this woman — not wealthy, not an Ivy Leager, not a Washington Insider — was forced into half a million dollars of personal debt to defend her own integrity against the same wealthy, Ivy League, Washington Insider POWER PEOPLE who hated her, and they accused her of “Ethics violations” WITH TAXPAYER MONEY. DISGUSTING!
If Sarah Palin can’t serve as a Governor without being impoverished and so tied up with red tape and political vendettas at the behest of other politicians, then NO common sense, NORMAL people can. And if that’s the case, there will be NO “reform” of the American political system from within....”
Amen Brother.... We have a winner!!!!!
Sarah thinks outside the box. It's a good move.
"No. Productive, fulfilled people determine where to put their efforts, choosing to wisely utilize precious time... to BUILD UP.
And there is such a need to BUILD up and FIGHT for our state and our country. I choose to FIGHT for it! And I’ll work hard for others who still believe in free enterprise and smaller government; strong national security for our country and support for our troops; energy independence; and for those who will protect freedom and equality and LIFE... I’ll work for and campaign for those PROUD to be American, and those who are INSPIRED by our ideals and won’t deride them."
With those words, Sarah is throwing down the gauntlet.I suspect we'll see alot of her in the weeks and months ahead, campaigning for like minded candidates for office all across America, leading up to the 2010 Elections.
I see it as a real positive development for the conservative cause, and an extremely smart move on her part.
hat is a great excerpt, and she followed it brilliantly with this:
“No. Productive, fulfilled people determine where to put their efforts, choosing to wisely utilize precious time... to BUILD UP.

And I’ll work hard for others who still believe in free enterprise and smaller government; strong national security for our country and support for our troops; energy independence; and for those who will protect freedom and equality and LIFE...

Amen. And yet so many on this forum are calling her a quitter. Gutless cowards all.
Well,at least FRee Republic can't be faulted for lacking one dimensional thinkers! :o)
Sarah’s brave decision to leave her job will have a devastating effect on the State Media and the Socialist’s, now they have to start trying, way early, to pick the Republican candidate for president in ‘12 for us.
Thanks for the transcript Covenantor!
I trust Sarah with this one. She has shown courage, determination and vision for Alaska. She is the real deal and with God before her she will prevail. Like she said some day she will share the details of this decision process.
God bless you Sarah and your precious family!
I am flabberghasted!
She wasn't even fully out of the gate, and you dumped her because of a couple of bad interviews? Maybe you ought to give her a second or even third look. Unleashed from the McCain campaign handlers, she just might surprise you.
“I just made a contribution to www.sarahpac.com the other day...looks like it’s time to make another one and send a message.....We support ya Gov.Palin!”
I hear ya! I sure hope she helps Rubio beat Crist here in Florida.
It is absolute truth. And, yes, I am an Independent.
She made a commitment to the people of Alaska. If she didn't want to run for re-election, OK, that is her prerogative. I think she could have used the experience of a second term to strengthen her credentials.
But to quit before her first term is even finished simply gives her critics and detractors all the ammunition they could want.
It now allows them to label her a "quitter".
“She gave in - could not take it....is how it will appear no matter what occurred.”
Only to those who look to the MSM to define the news for them. There is a whole new world for many patriots, #1 turn the TV off. #2 Think and reason for yourself. #3 stop whining #4 due something worthwhile today like opposing the take over of our government. #5 get involved in ways you never have before #6 Challenge yourself to be BOLD.
No way Sarah gave in. Read the message on her parents fridge.
She made a commitment to do that.
I really don't know she is thinking.
