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.

Funny thing ...
The MittWittNittTwitts like to cover up the fact that RINO Romney not only stumped for liberal Democrats, he endorsed them and gave money...
Oh, dear....
GOP Lady, are you a closet Socialist? Or are you just a Socialist collaborator? Or maybe one of their naive and useful idiots?
How many Republicans did Slick Willard successfully help elect to office in Massachusetts ? Please name them.

Oh, that’s right...
Rocky was a Democrat...
Never mind...
I heard Bernie Goldberg a few months back talking about when it’s all said and done, in about another year, Obama will only have two key supporters left, the media, of course, they will always support Obama, they are the ones who worked their hardest to make sure he won. They will never turn on him because they have invested interest in him staying in office..and the hard core leftists, the Daily Kos idiots, the DU Dummies, they will jump off a cliff if Obama told them to, they will always support him, no matter what, 30 percent unemployment, 20 trillion dollar debt, they won’t care, but the Reagan Democrats, the ones who are more Centrist, they will turn on him, in fact, they already have. I know some Dems who voted for Obama, and regret doing it. Now they call him a socialist pig, but they voted for him because they hated Bush and believed the media garbage they were being fed. You get those Dems back on our side in 2012 and we win back the White House
I would love to see Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin on the same ticket.

Why must Mitt Romney be on the top of the ticket ???
“Giving the democrats control may well seal the fate in congress for a few years to come.”
It would seal the fate of the nation for sure:o(
I would submit zero conservative Democrats did. 11 Democrats didn’t vote for it. Of those I don’t know if any voted as they did so they could get re-elected.
I also don’t know what their other votes have been over the last two to six years.
Do those eleven vote with us all the time? I doubt it.
R = Republicam; I = in name only; N = name; O = Only.
“IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ADVANCE ANY KIND OF A CONSERVATIVE AGENDA WITH RATS IN THE MAJORITY”
1. No need to shout, we can hear you.
2. When the GOP was in the majority in both houses, the conservative agenda was not advanced. Too many Vichy Republicans sided with the Dems. ANWR drilling did not pass. But bloated spending bill after bloated spending bill did pass.
It’s time to send a clear message to the GOP hierarchy. Sarah Palin is doing just that.

McCain lost most of us long before Palin was ever mentioned outside of Alaska.
OK, Pat Toomey is probably ahead of Zell.
I’m thinking of the Democrats who voted against crap and tax in the House.
We’ll see....maybe none will want to be seen with her...probably some RINOS won’t want to be seen with her either....it will be their mistake.
I agree with you to an extent. I think Sarah’s heart is in the right place, she wants to send a clear message to the GOP that we are sick and tired of their behavior.
#1. No Democrat is gonna call her and ask to campaign for them so we can all forget about that. Plus, there is no such thing as a Conservative Democrat, to which I agree with you, no matter what, they are still DemocRATS, and they will vote Democrat most of the time. They will always vote in Pelosi and Reid, they will never abandon them so as far as that is concerned I agree with you, Sarah has to be careful, she cannot come out and say she supports a particular Dem who turns around and supports Pelosi and Reid. They are Dems after all, so-called Conservative or not, they are still Dems, who will back each other til the very end.
Look at Kirsten Gillibrand, some in the media called her the Democratic Sarah Palin, because she was pro-gun, member of the NRA I believe, look at her now in the Senate, she has totally taken a 180 and is against gun rights. That is what happens when a supposed Moderate goes into a Senate full of Liberals
That is why I say I think Sarah’s heart is in the right place. She sees a broken party and wants to fix it, like Reagan helped fix the GOP years ago, but times have changed, and the majority of Dems will always turn out to be weasels in the end. At the end, Sarah won’t be getting any phone calls from any “Conservative Democrats” she will say she tried, but no one wanted her help, and this will become a dead issue, but the message to the GOP will still stand, shape up or ship out
>>conservative democrat
Name one.
The problem is that these conservative Dems are nothing but benders for Pelosi, Waxman as the conservative dems enable these ultra liberals in leadership positionns.
Has there ever been a single legislation from any of the conservative Dem congressman promoting conservatism.
If Palin wants to attract these conservative dem supporters for a Presidential run then that is good but to actually campaign for conservative dems to get elected is a very stupid strategy and does not advance conservative principles.
Try telling people like Conservativegreatgrandma that. They won’t listen. They’re too blind to their old ways, and their RINO-supporting ways.
