or appointed tp a more important position in public service

Equals bribe, or payoff. No one serves the public, they only rob them.

And don't you forget, Palin will take the country by storm, and become the number one candidate the moment she announces her official candidacy. And She will take the White House in a Landslide victory, absolutely, fer sher, no doubt.......And, she will do it her way, without the MSM or the evil establishment GOP, absolutely, fer sher, no doubt......you betcha.......

but she is not the choice among most conservatives that I know...

Expand your circle of friends, good advice for anyone.

while a good number like Palin a very large number simply will NOT vote for her.

Then they can vote for Obumer or stay home, that is the choice they will have, get used to it, the people will not accept another GW/Romney One World Order clone.

There is a problem with your analogy....

Palin gave multiple reasons for quitting in her announcement. One was this (paraphrased but I can get the actual statement and it will mean the same)...

I am not going to run for re-election. Therefore I an now a lame-duck governor. Lame-ducks just waste taxpayers' money on useless trips. The people of Alaska deserve better. I quit.

Now, aside from the fact that a governor with a full year and a half to serve is not a lame-duck, she is left to explain why she felt that her only option as a governor who had a full year and a half to go has to automatically act like a pig without ethical regard to her constituents or their tax dollars

. Further, if having a year and a half left means that it's time to walk away, what would keep her from foing the same in the WH?

Finally, when asked by Bill O'Reilly to explain why she quit, she said nothing about the lawsuits and only re-iterated the lame-duck nonsense.

This will kill her in any debate.

They always add that they would put their opinion up on the board but they don't feel like putting up with all the personal attacks that would result.

Strange, you seem to enjoy them, why would your friends not? Maybe you don't really have any friends other than a few clones of you on FR.

Does all of that REALLY matter to an MSM and a Democrat opponent/party that doesn’t care a danged bit for the truth?????

Remember - the Republicans are the limp-wristed cowards that refuse to engage in a meaningful way even when the truth is out there for all to see.

The Dems are the party of attack with anything they can find or make up.

And they WILL portray Palin as a quitter. Guaranteed. And there WILL be voters who buy the propaganda - regardless of your cut-and-paste pontificating to the contrary.

I never said she didn’t have good reasons for her resignation, thank you very much. Posting these excerpts TO ME does not change what the liberal world is going to do - so maybe redirecting your efforts might be in order.

Think back to when Clinton was in office. He and Hillary had many very large lawsuits and legal defenses that were bankrupting them. They promptly started asking for donations and started a legal fund to fight them in court.

They stayed in office, the country did not implode and his Presidency wound up being salvaged, by definition. (Debatable but true)

Palin could have easily done the same thing but did not even try. Which is why the issue will prove to be her greatest undoing as a candidate. The details of Troopergate as well as several other of her ethics irregularities, will also resurface and be analyzed around the clock.

This is what can be expected from a Palin candidacy and Sarah Palin knows this better than many realize. It will most likely wind up another disaster like her failed term as Governor.

Your post deserves a response. This is mine.

Unfortunately, it's not a very profound response. So far as I can decipher your point, you're basically responding by denying what I said by agreeing that with what I've said but saying it doesn't matter even though it does (or something like that); or you invoke the dreaded Mitt Romney.

It's why I don't take you folks seriously anymore.

She's completely vulnerable to the arguement that she's an opportunist who saw big opportunities for personal enrichmnet and wasn't willing to finish her term in office before collecting. Plain and simple.

Good point I guess. With that being said, where were they going to get the income for all the frivolous lawsuits that were raining down on them by the libtards?

Well, now. 'You folks' is it? How condescending and congruent with the left's attitude toward anyone who supports the Republican conservative, Sarah Palin. You obviously have no interest in anything but continuous sneering dismissal of Palin and those who would like to see her run for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012. So be it. That's what political forums are for. However, I firmly believe that, if she chooses to run, Sarah Palin will triumph - without your approval.

I fully expected Rachel D’Oro’s name to be attached to this mess of an AP article. Instead, they assigned a third stringer to do the hit job.

If you notice, there are thousands of freepers yet if one were to tally all those here who fall into the palin-acolyte group it would be but a fraction of that total number.

Including Jim Robinson.

Most of us know she's biding her time; and will announce when she's ready.

What's the hurry? It's not as though (like T-Paw) she has to make up for lost time to gain name recognition, or needs to worry about raising money.

Besides, it's fun to watch all the Beltway-annointed RINOs self-immolate like mosquitoes on a bug-zapper, even before they get one-tenth the concentrated hate which Sarah deals with on a daily basis.

Cheers!

Yep, just me and wtc911. We’re the only Freepers in the world who might question Sarah Palin’s qualifications for office.

No, there's also PSYCHO-FREEP and r9etb and a couple of others.

You're the only ones self-deluded enough to think that nobody has seen through you.

Out of a sense of courtesy and shrieking (and from what I have seen, changed behaviour) I will not mention another accused PDS troll, so I can honor their request to me to leave them alone.

Cheers!

When I read the comments on the Yahoo page about her book (earlier today) they were running 10-1 or 15-1 in Palin's favor: and mostly questioning the see-through motives for the author.

Cheers!

Bullshit.

She covered the resignation in Going Rogue as "The Thumping".

And the written word is what people will quote her by: a book has more credence than a speech, as people realize a political situation such as a resignation is a volatile time, and you might be more guarded right when it's happening than later.

And most people have seen her get blamed for everything from the Giffords shooting to global warming, so the attacks lose their punch after awhile.

Kind of like Obama's saturation broadcasting about bin Laden.

Cheers!
