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.

What.

[jla]

Then she should leave the GOP

No, she'll just reform it, much to the chagrin of NE corridor Republican parasites.

'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."

Yep, that's probably exactly right. When do you think Barack Obama, Bill or Hilary Clinton or other Democrats are going to be campaigning for Snowe or Collins? You know, since they're so helpful to the Democrats.

Weren’t you asking GOP_Lady if she backed those people? Do you really thing there’s a chance she does?

[Sarah Barracuda]

I Guess with your logic Sarah should support Charlie Crist, he is a Republican right..let’s all hop aboard the Charlie Crist train, he is a Republican right

[SolidWood]

Replace “Sarah Palin” with “GOP” in your post 237, and you are spot on.

[behzinlea]

McCain has a track record of being “Mavericky” and reaching out to Democrats

While kicking fellow Republicans in the groin--unlike Palin or Reagan.

Didn’t they name a mini pad after Staytrue??

My dad is a Conservative Democrat of the Truman mold.

This may be but someone needs to point out to him that that Democrat party is GONE. My grandfather was a Democrat, too, but he was a highly moral man I do not believe if he were alive now, he would vote Democrat.

[SolidWood]

It's a fair question. She says that she supports a GOP member over a democrat or independent (or other party member) every time.

GOP_Lady is a self-proclaimed party-firster.

By her own definiton she'd prefer a liberal Republican as long as he carries that little R after his name.

So my question was entirely fair and answered itself at the same time.

[FreeReign]

This Palin worship is as bad or worse than the Obama worship we saw during the election and now.

No it's not. Your remark is ridicules.

[Lakeshark]

I think Zell was the last one, but I'd love to be shown wrong; all I hear people saying is they'd vote for a conservative democrat even though they can't name one. I just don't think you can run as a “D” successfully without being extremely liberal. They're good at feigning conservative when they run in a general election, but they vote lib in high percentages when they win.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

If Sarah campaigns for a Democrat who voted for Pelosi, Stoyer or Reid for leadership as well as the likes of Rangel, Waxman et. al. for committee chairs, then she would be making a serious mistake.

I will be interesting to look to see who did NOT vote for Pelosi, Stoyer or Reid. Probably very, very few.

McLame’s version of “reaching out” to the ‘Rats consists of giving his support to their liberal agenda. That’s not “reaching out”, that’s acquiescing.

[RegulatorCountry]

Bully someone else. I'm not biting.

You're not the first fusty old party hack to sign up and purport to "straighten us out," lol, and you won't be the last.

[Bahbah]

Hah! You have described her perfectly.

[SolidWood]

BTW GOP_Lady is an open supporter of liberal Mitt Romney.
Says enough about her “conservatism” and party-first mentality.

[firebrand]

My parents were Reagan Democrats, until he started doing stuff like cutting food stamps and taxing unemployment benefits.

If Sarah wants to be a true populist, she'd better keep her sense of what the people consider to be just. If fact, campaign on that, as well as live by it if elected.

[jla]

Glad I didn’t send her money.Was just getting ready to.

Of course. Why support a lady who refuses to accept the status quo and has the temerity to promote conservatism no matter who is wielding it.

You and your pals now maligning Sarah Palin are barefaced hypocrites. Not to worry though, I will send in the $5.00 you were about to.

[wagglebee]

By her own definiton she'd prefer a liberal Republican as long as he carries that little R after his name.

From what I've seen of the Rooty Rooters and the Mittbots, there are more than a few FReepers who would prefer a liberal Republican to a conservative Republican.
