Funny how nobody ever seems to mention that every sitting Senator, Representative, or Governor who ever ran for further office all abdicated their current offices to do so.

Andrew Jackson "quit" as Senator in 1825, and three years later, in 1828, he was elected president.

Sound familiar?

Sarah was forced out of office with phony law suits against her on phony grounds. She won 19 out of 19 law suits form one frivilous democrat. Who can afford to fight frivolous law suits when the government will not stand up against frivolous law suits?

I will vote for Sarah again.

Screw these liberals and their groundless lame complaints. It is time to attack in a different direction!

Well done!

The idiot lamestream can blame their pitiful, pathetic selves for this meme not sticking because they went after her for a plethora of smears and lies, so now 1/2 term governor is meaningless in light of the facts surrounding her selfless resignation!

GO SARAH ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!

I happen to agree and would prefer Sarah Palin, but if you think there’s such a thing as “One Last Time” on this topic you’re on crack.

If Sarah and Perry enter the race, I will vote in this order,...

1. Sarah

2. Bachmann

3. Cain

4. Gingrich

5. Perry

after that, who cares.

I would vote for Gingrich over Perry just because he is an idea man that has been there before. Perry is OK, but in Texas, we don't have an income tax and are a right to work state, so the results are actually baked in pretty much unless you muck it up. Perry has tried to muck up a few items so I think he will be a let down after his anal exam by the MSM. Sarah has had every orifice examined twice over and is still standing.

I love Sarah, but she may be making a mistake waiting too much longer. Bachmann people will think twice before switching and many have already sent money. Sarah will make a big splash, but Bachmann is already in the breech.

Not true. Joe Lie-berman did not resign from his Seanate seat to run for VP in 2000. In fact, he ran for both offices simultaneously.

The spinners are desperate for something on Sarah Palin. Hard up, actually.

Here we go again.

In her resignation speech, Palin (™) mentions the lawsuits but doesn't give that as the reason for her resignation.

From the resignation speech of Sarah Palin (™):

And so as I thought about this announcement that I wouldn’t run for re-election and what it means for Alaska, I thought about how much fun some governors have as lame ducks… travel around the state, to the Lower 48 (maybe), overseas on international trade – as so many politicians do. And then I thought – that’s what’s wrong – many just accept that lame duck status, hit the road, draw the paycheck, and “milk it”. I’m not putting Alaska through that – I promised efficiencies and effectiveness! ? That’s not how I am wired. I am not wired to operate under the same old “politics as usual.” I promised that four years ago – and I meant it.

You can read the full transcript here and watch the speech here: Part1 Part2

I don't know how you can claim lame duck status when you have 16 months left in your term.

A few months later with Bill O'Reilly, she again cited the "lame duck" status as her reason for quitting.

Excellent, Gargantua. What the Left sees in Sarah is the biggest threat to their 'cookie jar' existence since Reagan, and that will have an effect on all who intend to 'raid' it, including Rinos.

Obama wants to expand the jar so more hands can get into it and he's willing to do it on credit. I don't think his mom ever slapped him for raiding the jar but his grandma might have as he threw her under the bus (typical WP).

When you think about it, America needs a strong mom or Grizzly, if you will. This house is a mess, nobody's doing what they should, and their grades seem to fall no matter who runs the show. I don't think America can do any more Weekends at Bernies with star-studded punks like Obama throwing parties while the bills go unpaid.

Thanks again.
