Sarah Palin Resigns as Alaska Governor

Cool.

not cool at all….this is called giving up….people voted her into office because they believed in her….she should stay and finish her term….right now, she’s a quitter

complete moron—in way over her head

Ding dong…the witch is dead!!

Great move for the state of Alaska as she obviously can’t run it! Hopefully she won’t run for the senate or the presidency.

Why can’t she finish serving the people in one office before running to another? What a dumba**.

She will run for VP,Pres.or even Senator. GO PALIN

Hate to be in Alaska.

Oh, she also mentioned why she’s doing this now..and not finishing her term…She thinks that the Lt. Gov in charge can do more positive things for the State of Alaska, and move forward. She feels as if her tabloid persona is holding back for the states well being.
She was quite pissed off in her press conference…

Fingers crossed that she runs in 2012 - that guaranteed 4 more years for Obama.

this sounds like someone knows a little dirty secret she doesn’t want people to know or republican party doesn’t want her in charge of a state when it comes out!!

I’d say so, Sam. It will come out in do time, I’d expect.
Lordy Be, Kate and Sarah are cut from the same cloth.

SHE SAYS SHE’S NOT A QUITTER BUT SHE’S STEPPING DOWN AS GOV. BY THE END OF THE MONTH…………….LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE…………….THAT SOUNDS VERY MUCH LIKE QUITTING TO ME………..MAYBE SHE LOSING HER MIND……………..MAYBE SHE REALISED SHE CAN’T WIN RELECTION……………….MAYBE SHE WILL BECOME THE NEXT OPRAH OR TYRA ………………..REALITY TV STAR…………..JUST NOT REAL CREDIBLE PRES. CANDIDATE……….HEHEHE……………..

EPIC FAIL.

Why the f*** else would anyone be spending all their time “defending themself” as according to one poster?

Notice wiki cleaned up the dates when Sarah got married and had her first child lest the readers realize like mother like daughter.

She wants the big prize,The White House 2012and I don’t mean VP.
She wants to write her book.
She wants to be free to keep her name in the media like with the David Letterman fiasco with was way overboard.
Leaving Alaska to get here is too far.
Iam a Palin supporter,but this move is DUMB and risky. She has only two more years to finish so she could finish and the have two years for her book and to run.

She’ll be back. Weeds never die….

“It’s absolutely bizarre, and I think it eliminates her from serious consideration for the presidency in 2012,” he said.

With so many Republicans getting caught in the dirty sheets so to speak lately, one cannot help but think of that right off for Palin resigning. (It would not be the first time rumors of infidelity have surrounded her.)
For whatever reason, it was a poor move, jmho.

Her approval rating in Alaska tanked. Alaskan Government officials began wearing buttons that said Where’s Sarah? She wasn’t serving the needs of the people. ans whenever she did her ethics were questioned.

And with a teenage daughter who has a newborn and a toddler with autism herself.. Sarah needs to spend some time getting her house in order and being a mother.

Leave the politics to the educated and the savvy. I shudder to think of what the state of the union would be under the rule of this hick yahoo sportscaster wannabe.

I like how she left when the going got tough and tried to leave on a note that would make her still look good. Thanks for the insightful Alaskans posting here.

@molly: Oh, pleae God! Please,please let it be for good!. This woman is a stupid, racist, idiot. I hope she is gone for good but we probably won’t be that lucky.

Selfish and impulsive woman.

She quit on Alaska and she’ll quit on us.

Here’s hoping the IRS has some dirt on her. Something’s gotta give.

@northern over exposure:

I heard that only die-hard Sarah fans like her now in Alaska. The rest have realized that she’s an incompetent twit. Too bad John McCain had to realize that the hard way.

Obama/Clinton 2012!

The Vanity Fair article was probably the last straw. John McCain’s staff trashed her in that article. plus, her popularity in DOWN in Alaska….she should resign and take SC governor Sanford with her.

@KK: Sarah Palin cares more about her STATE and her FAMILY than her political career. She resigned for her state and her family. The onslaught to her, to her family, and to Alaska by media outlets is the worst in history. Many voters outside Manhattan and LA respect her and her abilities. John McCain would have gotten less votes if she were not on his ticket. There should be LAWS that prohibit Dave Letterman and other “comics” about her innocent CHILDREN. They even attack her little baby son. HORRIBLE journalism.

I love Sarah. And to everyone who says she should have finished her term - she’s not a quitter, but she can’t always leave Alaska to raise money for other Republicans without being attacked by the Dems for spending too much money (and time away from her state). And if she helps other Republicans win, they’ll pay her back in 2012 if she wants it.

Oh yeah, and Obama is certainly trying to tax us all to death. So watch out - cap and trade is a disaster waiting to happen.

@Jan:

Jan… who exactly attacked her son Trig?
I know Sarah Palin keeps saying people have attacked her son but I have yet to have seen anyone in the media attack her son. So despite the early rumors by BLOGGERS (not media) that Trig wasn’t her son, but her daughters’ who the hell talks about her son??????

NO ONE. That’s who.

Sarah Palin fanatics, much like Sarah Palin are delusional people, liars and act like petulant children. Grow up and get some thick skin.

nobody steps down from a political post like that unless you are seriously ill - like terminally ill - or you have been investigated and you want to avoid the crap that will hit the fan. come on. be serious folks. she is stepping down cause something real fishy was discovered….baracuda got caught!

Her first interview will be with Conan O’Brien

She is quitting because she must. The two recent GOP scandals have cost a Governor and a Senator their seats due to adultry and fraud. It was a case of “step down, or be exposed and forced to resign.”

She truly is a pathetic creature but there’s RNC method to her madness in turning over the helm right now to another Republican. What she needs to understand, however, is that America doesn’t want her in the lower 48 States, again! Sick of the ignorant “snake in the grass” who brought down McCain’s campaign.

A self confessed moron. She believes in creationism which is akin to believing that the sun orbits the earth. You have to be beyond stupid to believe in creationism.

Don’t let the moose track hit you on the ass on the way out worthless
bish…

@u can’t always get what u want: She sounded AGITATED. She kept catching her breath, ranting and rambling on and on. Good riddance!

@Paddisonluvr:
Nice try there but Obama is taxing people LESS than Ronald Reagan.
Your old conservative talking-points don’t measure up to the facts
And even if he does raise some taxes, the country is in a mess and historically you need to raise some taxes to clean up the mess Republicans left him. Its not fair that Republicans got to waste a surplus and use trillions of state dollars and Obama can’t when he actually wants to help fix this mess. Double standards and hypocrisy are the hallmark standards of the current GOP.

Thank you Halli. I’ve been following the political discussions in various place and it always amazes me how REpublicans forget that George W Bush inherited a budget surplus and squandered it so that the Nation had no savings to fall back on when the economy turned sour, as all economies will.
.
Margaret Thatcher once said words to the effect that a country finances were not that different to a household’s finances. No family can keep spending more than it earns and not put some money away for a rainy day. No country can afford to do the same.
.
The USA spends more than 15% of GDP on healthcare and still have more than 10% of its population uninsured and God only knows how many more are UNDER insured. On a macro perspective, the US has the worse healthcare outcomes of all the developed world.
.
Sweden, Australia and many other countries can spend less and have better outcomes. No system is perfect but really, the healthcare system in the US is clearly faulty.
.
So, if taxes don’t go up, your infrastructure such as roads, telecommunication etc will start to fray. If you have ever had to deal with a country with brown outs, you’d start to understand the cost to the nation. Your governments have no choice, taxes will go up.
.
The problem is that the question is framed too simplistically. When it comes to taxes, it isn’t just about how much you have to pay but also what it is spent on and what the society values. If you want your bottom 10% to be uninsured for medical care, if you believe these people are just lazy, and that you earned everything you have, then what can anyone else say - except hope that experience will teach you some true humility.
.
On the bell curve of IQ, God placed 50% of people above average and another 50% below average. If we were placed on the above average category, I honestly think we must simply thank God for giving us the inherent ability which enabled us to grasp concepts more quickly, have better memories so that learning was easier for us and thinking was easier for us and so ultimately enabled us to get better, more high paying jobs.
.
But for those to whom much has been given, God asks us to give back a lot. We should all remember that.

Thank FREAKING GOD for this. Who in the hell let her be in office in the first place? Whoever it was, they need to be shot.

SHE’S DONE! Trust me. If she ever tries to run for public office again, her opponents will remind people of how she quit as governor right in the middle of her term, betraying those who voted for her.
She will forever be labeled a quitter!

@Halli: Hall,
LINDA KELLEN BEIGEL photo shopped Trigg’s photo with Sarah holding him. It was a photo showing a special needs baby in the loving arms of his mother. It was an inspirational photo to parents and families of special needs children. Linda Kellen Beigel made his little face look like a monster and mocked him and his mom.She is the one that filed most of the ethics complaints that were proven to be FALSE in court but cost Palin 500k and AK 2 million dollars in legal fees.That is why Sarah is stepping down. She is saving AK and herself money. Huffington Post just entered “******” article attacking Palin and the baby tonight. NO CHILD DESERVES WHAT HAS BEEN DISHED AT PALIN’S CHILDREN. I do not agree with her politics but I care about children. I wish Palin’s family the best.The hatred between the democrats and republicans in this country has elevated to a dangerous level. All Americans should wish the residing president success for the country and show respect to the families of ALL parties. CHILDREN SHOULD BE OFF LIMITS IN POLITICS.

Why did she quit? It’s quite sad actually. I’m really wondering what is the real reason behind this.

who cares?

Just crawl under the big stinky piles of moose turds from whence you came — no one cares about you and your pathetic English grammer and your stupidity. TRAILER TRASH.

@deraj tsuj:

What the hell do you know? What are your arguments against Obama? All you’ve done is write a retarded message… Go do something constructive like jump off a bridge…

Hmm, I wasn’t the only one thinking “the house that Sarah built” with Wasilla lobbyist money.

http://rawstory.com/08/news/2009/07/03/rumors-fly-about-palins-iceberg-scandal/

It appears that the questions about Palin’s house and the sports complex made their way through the media and blogosphere during the campaign last October…..same windows, doors, etc. from the complex appear to be the same in Palin’s house by the same contractor. Shame on Sarah Palin for lecturing us about gov’t when she is embezzling from the gov’t.

http://www.bradblog.com/?p=7280#more-7280

#88 I do agree with you that no ones children should be dragged in the mud. However you are obviously too young to remember the horrible things said and done about Chelsea Clinton when her father was in office. It was disgusting.

She didn’t seem to worry about ALL of their coverage when she dragged them out on stage at her rallies. Sarah Palin is self-serving and I’m sure we will be hearing more scandalous stuff about her.

Why doesn’t this trailer trash go to hell and stay there? If she was smart she would be a better mother to her trailer bum kids. Your typical welfare bums except these hillbillies are on tax payer’s payroll in a different way.

Sarah is linked to Ted Stevens’ cabin with building supplies and her home with contractors and earmarks. Dirty, dirty, dirty. ….let the feds look into it all.

A list of subcontractors on the job, obtained by the Voice, includes many with Palin ties. One was Spenard Builders Supply, the state’s leading supplier of wood, floor, roof, and other “pre-engineered components.” In addition to being a sponsor of Todd Palin’s snow-machine team that has earned tens of thousands for the Palin family, Spenard hired Sarah Palin to do a statewide television commercial in 2004. When the Palins began building a new family home off Lake Lucille in 2002—at the same time that Palin was running for lieutenant governor and in her final months as mayor—Spenard supplied the materials, according to Antoine Bricks, who works in its Wasilla office. Spenard actually filed a notice “of its right to assert a lien” on the deed for the Palin property after contracting for labor and materials for the site.

Sarah Barracuda….

useless b;tch

I think the Repugs are going to use this woman as the attack dog on Obama’s administration. I can just see her doing a perpetual campaign against Obama for the next three years. It is going to be a three ring circus with Palin, Rush and Hannity the three haters. I already see the Repugs salivating. But what is good is that since she is not running for office and will be a private citizen the democrats can attack her and make mince meat out of her. I will be eating a lot of popcorn because this reality “show” will be better than Housewives of New Jersey lol.

I love how people can just RIP Palin up one side and down the other when she has done NOTHING to ruin this country as our fellow president of the United States, Barrack Osama, has done in the LITTLE time he has been in office. I am 17 years old and all I see down the road is billions and billions of dollars that my generation is going to have to pay back because of all the tree hugging, affirmative action loving, and give-aways the Liberals refuse to CUT. Sarah Palin is a very intelligent, strong woman and the Libs are afraid of her. Plain and Simple. Why else would they attack her? Does a pitbull attack something they don’t feel threatened by? Also, I understand where she’s coming from when she says that she is leaving because of all the problems with personal attacks, that is ridiculous. Could you imagine someone reenacting Obama, OH NO IT’S TIME TO PULL THE RACE CARD! blah blah blah. But it was ok for Tina Fey to crap all over Palin. This country is going to hell in a hand basket, which means something needs to happen to wake everyone up or it will continue to fall, if it hasn’t hit ground zero already.

Dear 17 year old don’t worry about having to pay for anything you don’t seem to be too bright I think you will be on the rolls. Ms. Rambling Rose hopefully will stay in Wasilla and keep whatever dignity she has left. She certainly can dish it but she cannot take it, she can do the talk but she cannot do the walk. She is a disgrace to all women fighting for equality, she is a quitter and cannot play with the big leagues. “Only dead fish go with the flow” WTF;;;that is some crazy azz sh#t!!!!

Nobama your 17 and no wonder your full of ****. First of all before the president sits in his current sit. The country was heading fast in it’s downhill slop thanks to Bushco and his stupid careless dimwitted selfish party. No one can stop the country from bleeding in 7 months. Everything was in disarray. And this is going to be much more worse if Mccain and Palin won. Just look what happened now. If they were in office she will not last a full month knowing the mess their president made. Actually the lib as you call them are not afraid of Palin They welcome her because if she was the front runner up for the retardlians party in 2012 it will guarantee another 4 years for Obama. The surplus Bush inherited from Clinton was wasted on a useless war instead for the American people. WHY DID YOU NOT CRY OVER THAT . INSTEAD OF MONEY BEING SPENT FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THE PRESIDENT IS DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO FIXED YOUR PARTY’S MISTAKES DEAL WITH IT. YOU AND YOUR COHORTS CAN WHINE, ***** AND MOAN ALL YOU CAN . BUT STAY OUT OF THE WAY OF THE JOB BEING DONE TO FIXED THIS COUNTRY.

to molly @ 07/03/2009 at 5:42 pm:

That was just another of Palin’s excuses, which were also untrue. Read this news article. It appears that Ms. Palin continues to insult our intelligence.
