ANCHORAGE, Alaska | Brushing aside the criticisms of pundits and politicos, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said she plans to jump immediately back into the national political fray — stumping for conservative issues and even Democrats — after she prematurely vacates her elected post at month's end.
The former Republican vice-presidential nominee and heroine to much of the GOP's base said in an interview she views the electorate as embattled and fatigued by nonstop partisanship, and she is eager to campaign for Republicans, independents and even Democrats who share her values on limited government, strong defense and "energy independence."
"I will go around the country on behalf of candidates who believe in the right things, regardless of their party label or affiliation," she said over lunch in her downtown office, 40 miles from her now-famous hometown of Wasilla — population 7,000 — where she began her political career.

Have you seen any evidence whatsoever to cause you to ask that question? You know better than that. You should know better than to ask it.
Sounds good, except that will leave us with Democrat control forever. Conservatives will even have less power if they don't fight back for the soul of the GOP.
I would vote for Democrat Zell Miller over Republican Lincoln Chafee anyday. (or Snowe, Collins, Arnie, Suntan Charlie, ect)
No. They voted for Pelosi and Reid and how much chance to you think there is for any kind of pro-life legislation to advance with these evil people in positions of power. I am amazed that we have so many Freepers fooled by this.
If these 31 hypocrites cared about the issue all 31 of them would become Republicans which would put Republicans close to having control who could actually do something about it but they are total hypocrites and the RATS are using them brilliantly.
McCain has a track record of being “Mavericky” and reaching out to Democrats, while Palin has solid conservative creds. Your question is apples and oranges.
Name one time Palin teamed up with Kennedy on anything...
What question? Do you talk to me or LadyGOP?
Not all are horrible, it is the current leadership of the democratic party that is horrible, for example Gov. Sweitzer in MT is a decent guy and the state was just royally screwed by Obama.
I think it's entirely possible that the GOP will collapse within the next twenty years. The GOP nearly collapsed after Nixon, Ford and the Rockefeller Republicans. Reagan brought the party back to life, but that may have run it's course. Either the GOP is saved by a reemergence of conservatism or it ceases to exist.
I'm at the point that I really don't care any longer, if a person isn't a conservative they aren't getting my vote period.
The veto-proof majority will be enabled by the likes of Collins and Snowe rather than every Blue Dog voting in lockstep with the commies.
Glad I didn’t send her money.Was just getting ready to.
Exactly. The blind followers of the Party label are marching towards the abyss.
I want Conservatives, not R or D.
Again, I say, there is no such thing as a pro-life Democrat. They lied to gain their seats. The Democrat party is the party of death. They are more than pro-choice--they are PRO-ABORTION!!
Trust me, I've worked on the inside for many years.
You should keep repeating that until it sinks in. People who can't understand this very simple, straightforward position, really have no idea how the Congress nor the Senate actually works.
Jesse Helms started as a Democrat. He did not become a Pubbie until 1970! I doub t you would find anyone as conservative, except Zell...
Sure you were going to...
Last week I urged the blind support crowd to keep their powder dry and their eyes open. This is precisely why.
It appears some of us are ready to back Palin no matter what. As you intimate, that can be very destructive. As we have seen, destroying from within is a very powerful tactic. What is Obama if not that in relation to our nation. If we’re not careful, Palin could turn into that for our party.
I’m non-commital on that now, but I don’t like some of the warning clouds I’ve seen on the horizon. She really needs to be careful. I’m afraid someone is giving her terrible advice.
No amount of money could save a candidate savaged as roundly and continually as Myth was. Myth was and is savaged even more severely than Palin--and that's saying something.
Not saying he didn't bring it on himself . . .
And after 8 years of big spending, government growing out right liberal GOP "leadership", I don't think it is very important to put that bunch of clowns back in charge either. The GOP under Bush2 BLEW IT, they BLEW IT SO BADLY that nobody gives a damn about the GOP any more. Nobody with a brain that it. The best thing the GOP can do for the country is put the gun to it's head and pull the trigger. Screw the GOP.
She is following Reagan’s model, she also twittered another posting right after that..
@AKGovSarahPalin
Problem w/Professional Politicians:They’re more concerned w/holding a title in perpetuity than just accomplishing goals they promised voters
Hey if she can find a Conservative Democrat who is against Obama’s Marxist ways I’d vote for him/her. I was done with the Republican party a long time ago. Look at how they have treated her, look at all the RINO losers over there who voted for Cap and Trade, would anyone here want Sarah to support them just because there is an R next to their name. Hey maybe she should endorse Charlie Crist, he has an R next to his name right..I am a Conservative and believe in Conservative values, if she can find one on the other side that shares it, I’m all for it, I doubt she can find one though. Can anyone here even name a Conservative Democrat?
