She's basically right on every major issue. The only problem which many will have with her will be the abortion question.
The president doesn't just sail above such attacks. Palin resigned due to these attacks, not entirely due to out-of-pocket expenses.
Palin resigned from a previous position, as well, and that had nothing to do with expenses.
You don't know, and neither does anyone else, how she'd react to attacks while president.
By that standard, you are unfit to opine on Palin. You're good only for firing up Liberals by puking back up their own anti-Palin Kool-aid. You poor iggerint sap, you don't even see it, do you? Don't worry, Gargy is here to help you open your eyes an free your few, trapped brain cells.
There, there now.

According to her post, now one of the major reasons why Palin quit was the attacks by the media. That isn't going to go away as president.
Talk about an idiot. He says she said she wasn’t tough enough to be president. He THEN says she’s not tough enough to be president. The article should have been titled “Author and Palin Agree on One Point”.
And this guy says he’s CERTAIN conservative writers figured out ways to critique Obama. What they did was figure out a way to tell the truth and left the results to the people. Unfortunately not enough people believed it.
We can’t afford any more presidents from the banking/oilcompany wing of the republican party. I’d be happy to deal with whatever problems Palin might bring into the picture.
But will she be willing to deal with the problems she brings to the picture, that's the question.
So is this what FR is now--people can't even disagree over a politician without being called lib tools?
I thought we were the adults who didn't blindly follow leaders. I thought we were the ones who were independent-minded and didn't just cheerlead for politicians.
I guess we're just supposed to follow the S*T*A*R and not think, just proclaim out unworthiness.
My issue isn't with Palin; I don't see her as presidential material but think she is doing not a good but an incredible job as what she is now--a TRUE maverick, outside the party but part of it, getting the people focused on Tea party candidates, making that a viable movement (not another party, but something scarier to the Dems).
My issue is with those who claim to be her biggest fans, who can't argue points and realities, but just heap praise on every action Palin takes, defend every single thing she does, and view any independent reaction to her as treason. They seem to think Palin is or would be their personal friend, when in fact she is a politician, and we're no more getting the "real" story than we would if we listened to the lib pukes who try to destroy her and her family.
Personality worship--the unthinking zombielike following of ANY politician--is for the weak. Conservatives want politicians to have the minimum amount of control over our lives because politics is a necessary evil, not something we look to to provide "Hope" to our lives...right?
I don't believe ANY politician who's considered a possible leader of MY country can't be criticized on their pros and cons (which was all the poster you responded to was doing)--I'll think for myself, thanks.
In his own words admitting that media weenies did and do conspire to destroy candidates and bend public opinion to their will. It's not reporting, it's conspiring. Forget “credible chance”. The leftwing scumbags can't be forced to print the mountain of damning evidence against the communist puppet Obama, yet they send thousands to sift through Palin’s garbage cans.
Nice spin but not her stated reason. She quit for two reasons. To save money for herself and the taxpayers. To use her influence to help elect those of a like mind. And not stated is to amass a warchest for 2012.
Why is there any mystery about this?
Lefties try to tear down righties; righties try to tear down lefties.
THAT isn’t the conspiracy.
The conspiracy is the Journolist (what a freakin annoying title for a group) bunch being accepted and interpreted as mainstream, objective reporters by CNN and the alphabet networks.
In itself there’s zero wrong with a bunch of lefty columnists (Corn isn’t a beat reporter) hashing out their political approach. They’re lefties, they’re hanging out talking about their leftism.
The big story is that they KNOW Wright and those other stories are legitimate issues, but they work as press agents for Obama.
That they’re lefties who dig for dirt on R’s isn’t the issue—it’s that they’re specifically propping up CANDIDATES instead of values. They should be attacking Obama for coddling Wright. Instead, like good little party members, the cause is more important than the truth. Someone who actually believed in certain values wouldn’t fear revealing the dirsty secrets about individuals because the VALUES they prize would persevere.
That’s not what these folks do. They’re true party hacks—The Party and The Star! are all-important. Cult of personality 101.
It’s wrong when either side does it, but unfortunately we hardly have any genuine conservatives to prop up in the first place.
“If she’s weak, idiotic, a quitter, etc. why do you keep killing forests of trees and millions of electrons writing about her? Methinks thou doth protest too much... “
Lol! That was my first reaction also after reading the article. The Left’s fear of Palin is palpable.
Is Corn the guy with a lisp?
The last two reasons are the only two she should have stated for stepping down. Kind if like telling the dems, I am coming. The other reason could have just been treated as an aside as thoughan annoyance that finalized her decision.
Those are positive reasons. Powerful reasons. She could have went on to say that she was confident that her Lt, Governor would carry on her program.
The only problem she would have changing the narrative is that presser in front of the lake. Talking points for people like Corn.
He is a buddy of Hurricane Katrina Van dan Awful of The Nation.
She did say the Lt. Gov would carry on her programs or words to that effect. Those reasons were all given in that presser. But the left doesn't want to focus on anything she really says. They made up fake opinions to make her look bad and report those fake opinions as news.
Imagine that.
Thousands of “journalists” waiting, tied
to their monitor-teat connected to the White House and Obama,
waiting, waiting to be told exactly what to say.
From the Nation to Mother Jones, each “journal” now exposed
for what it really is, a paid PR flack making output for
the DNC, antiAmericanism, and (so last century) Communism.
