“The only people who believe that Sarah is a quitter are those duped by the crap shoveled by the Media, the DNC, and the supporters of 2012 Presidential Candidates that fear her.”

This is what's scary. Palin supporters who won't, even at the slightest, acknowledge the elephant in their living room.

Sarah quit, you can spin it any way you want, but it will be hammered home every day by her opponents, the dims and the MSM. It will be a factor for many of the swing voters she would need to win a general election.

People on FR say she is damaged goods not because they don't like her but because they are realists and understand how the game of politics is played. But many Sarah supporters have blinders on and will continue to spin it or ignore this fact like it doesn't exist and denigrate people who bring it up until the train crashes.

I believe Sarah knows this and I think she is going to spend her time writing books, doing speaking engagements, maybe some television or radio, a website, etc. She's going for the gold and I although I don't blame her for me she jumped the shark when she quit her post while on active duty.

We needed Sarah to lead the revolution from WITHIN the game. She now is on the outside and while she can be a formidable proponent for conservative causes, she has taken herself off the main board for good.

And if she doesn't understand this then I will lose even more respect than I lost when she quit.

What's really scary are people who continuously parrot the Democrats and pretend it's common sense.

She's indicated time and again that she's not going to play the game of politics the way it's normally played. She's out to build a grassroots movement and she'll rise or fall based on her ability to do that, to make her case directly to ordinary Americans across the country.

I paid close attention to her even after the election and I had no trouble at all understanding her actions. I watched the Alinskyites set out to bankrupt her and ruin the progress she was making in Alaska. If she had stayed in office at the rate these bogus complaints were coming in, she would have incurred an additional $1 million in personal debt, had her family continually trashed and likely ruined her career...not to mention the damage and expense to the state.

She's not rich (yet), she's not a member of the ruling class and she has no party structure to back her up. She's alone. The Dem-influenced investigator on her legal defense fund is engineering a ruling that will prevent her from even accepting public donations to pay off her personal legal debt.

Facing all this, she made a decision that was best for her, her family and her state under the circumstances. Independent polling done after she "quit" seemed to indicate that many others understood this decision. Her favorables with Independent voters are on the rise according to respected non media-driven polls like Rasmussen and PPP. Will the media-driven polls like ABC/WaPo and NBC/WSJ indicate otherwise? Sure they will. That's their point.

The key will be her ability to make her case directly. We'll see what happens. You and others here who can't get past the "quitter" thing may never accept it. I'm sure she'll understand.

Sorry, but I doubt most of the posters saying this are doing it from sincere positions.

Most of the posters who are posting this nonsense are supporters of potential 2012 Presidential Primary who see their candidates potential Presidential run threatened by Sarah or they are people, who like Krauthammer and Barnes, are better classified as elitists or NeoCons who don't have much use for Social Conservatives, except for their votes.

A small minority actually believe that Sarah is a quitter and did not mean what she has said.


Those who are sincere, will soon have their minds changed as she becomes more and more visible since she has been freed from the responsibilities of the governorship.

Those who are insincere, like yourself, will continue to spin and lie about Sarah.

Being trapped in office in Alaska while the entire game was here was being "outside", now she is capable of fighting the rinos from "within" by joining the frey with all the other non office holding candidates.

You mean like how the press hammered home how dumb Reagan was or he was just an actor?

You're repeating the lines of the media because it suits your purposes.

They will crucify any outspoken conservative if they connect with the people.

This whole "She's a quitter and therefore damaged goods" is just their latest volley.

It won't work, because she ain't quitting, quite the opposite, she is coming back even harder.

Every time they slime her, she doubles-down and strikes back even harder.

This frightens the media, the DNC, and the GOP elite.

None of them can control her.

So I guess that makes Kay Bailey a quitter as well? She announced she’s “retiring” from the Senate before her term is up to run for Governor. Undoubtedly, Palin “retired” from the governorship to run for POTUS; she hasn’t said it, but it’s fairly clear that’s the plan.
