Quote:

Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska announced Friday that she would step down by the end of the month and not seek a second term as governor, fueling speculation that she is seriously weighing whether to seek the Republican nomination for president in 2012.

Not with a borrowed dick.

Whenever I disagree with someone, I don't call them names. I don't have to.

Would that more travel that road, rather than cheapening their argument.

who are you talking to?

and sarah palin can fuck off, if she had any sense at all, she'd just fall off the radar completely.

There's gotta be more to the story...

Remember how Jeff Skilling suddenly and unexpectedly resigned from Enron just a few days before it completely fell under?

Maybe she's about to get stung with ethics violations charges.

Or as Rick Sanchez speculated on MSNBC, maybe she's pregnant again.

I am replying to anyone who concludes that there has to be more involved than stating the words to counter anyone. In other words, to call them names, or to use vulgarities.

Seig Heil! For I will not go along with your impulses to control everything that does not reflect your biases.

All in all, this is poorly timed if her plan is to immediately jump into the 2012 race. If she has something else in mind (ie, something in the private sector), then she may as well resign now.

Kompressor · 07-03-2009, 06:13 PM

Considering she's backing murdering seals in the name of urban development, I'd say her chances at Presidency are pretty slim.

Uh. No. She was elected Governor of Alaska in November, 2006, and she was Mayor of a town before that.

There are people who have political careers away from the glare of the national
media.

Hmm.....

She inked a HUGE (millions in USD) book deal, so she doesn't need the job anymore. If she's not holding a public office, she's not required to disclose any financial information about that book deal. She also can't be in two places at the same time. Promoting a book requires you to tour the country for all those book signings.

She has certainly convinced me that she does in fact know the meaning of the phrase, 'cut and run',

Atta girl.

Before Letterman gets in on this:

Top Ten Reasons why Palin Resigned

10. She wants to run for President of Alaska.

9. Putin keeps cutting across her front lawn as a short cut back to russia.

8. Found out her Lt. Governor was a rotweiller with lipstick.

7. Wants to call out Obama, running cross country, ala forest gump.

6. Limbering up for moose season.

5. Going Full time harrassing Letterman.

4. Taking time off to read her own book.

3. Hopefully in 4 years, americas short attention span wont link that 2012 palin to 2008 palin.

2. Shopping in Alaska sucks!

and the number one reason Palin resigned:

1. SHE'S NOT A QUITTER!

The Rev · 07-04-2009, 12:35 PM

She resigned to make more time for me to hit dat shit.

I'm am not Anti-Palin, but I will admit that I strongly questioned her qualifications from the beginning of her VP campaign. With that said, I would like to say that I authored the questions below.....but I cannot.

1. If you're leaving your elected position with more than a year to go because you can't handle negative publicity, personal attacks and GOP back-biting, how could you possibly handle the rigors of running for president -- much less being President?

2. How can you say you didn't take a "quitters way out" when you just quit?

3. Hillary Clinton, Liddy Dole and Gerry Ferraro had a secondary goal in their political strivings: tailoring their actions and statements to destroy the notion women couldn't compete against men in the political arena. Palin suggested that was her goal too in '08 -- and her defenders never hesitated to cry sexism when she was attacked -- so what does quitting say about her commitment to furthering the image of women in American politics?

4. Is Alaska really ready for a "Mission Accomplished" declaration? The recently announced gas pipeline deal, for instance, is expected to have a major impact on the state. But it's still largely a work in progress with many key details yet to be concluded.

5. How hard would it be to raise the estimated $500,000 you say you'll need to pay for the defense of nuisance ethics complaints when you are the biggest fundraising draw in the Republican party?
