Happy 4th of July from Alaska! (Sarah Palin's Message to Us)
Facebook ^ | 7-4-09 | Sarah Palin

Posted on 07/04/2009 2:50:02 PM PDT by nomoremods

For months now, I have consulted with friends and family, and with the Lieutenant Governor, about what is best for our wonderful state. I even made a few administrative changes over that course in time in preparation for yesterday. We have accomplished so much and there’s much more to do, but my family and I determined after prayerful consideration that sacrificing my title helps Alaska most. And once I decided not to run for re-election, my decision was that much easier – I’ve never been one to waste time or resources. Those who know me know this is the right decision and obvious decision at that, including Senator John McCain. I thank him for his kind, insightful comments.

The response in the main stream media has been most predictable, ironic, and as always, detached from the lives of ordinary Americans who are sick of the “politics of personal destruction”. How sad that Washington and the media will never understand; it’s about country. And though it's honorable for countless others to leave their positions for a higher calling and without finishing a term, of course we know by now, for some reason a different standard applies for the decisions I make. But every American understands what it takes to make a decision because it’s right for all, including your family.

The most important part:

I am now looking ahead and how we can advance this country together with our values of less government intervention, greater energy independence, stronger national security, and much-needed fiscal restraint. I hope you will join me. Now is the time to rebuild and help our nation achieve greatness!

God bless you! And I look forward to making a difference – with you!

Sarah

Well, I have to admit, quitting is one way to make government smaller.

Will you knock off this quitting crap, Obama was elected Senator of Illinois and quit after 100 days, so I guess you can say he quit serving the people of IL in order to run for President. No one gave a damn about him “abandoning” his state. He didn’t do a damn thing in the senate except use it as a way to run for President

Thank you for letting me know. I did a search, under Palin, and didn’t find it.

Hopefully, admin can close this thread.

You seem not to know that Sarah did not state that she was running for president. You don't see any difference here at all? I for one would be happy if she used that for an excuse to quitting, but she didn't.

Did you see her recent facebook posting, why else would she mention this

And though it’s honorable for countless others to leave their positions for a higher calling and without finishing a term, of course we know by now, for some reason a different standard applies for the decisions I make.

What kind of “Higher calling” could she be referring to. Either she is running for President or she is gonna be a minister LOL..she is gonna run for President, not Senator, but President, it’s obvious, just a matter of when not if

I think when she was saying only dead fish float through life, she was referencing you. JMHO
