Sarah like everyone else wants, an income to live well. Her TV series promoted Alaska and reasons to come, see, encounter, and be a part of the GREAT OUTDOORS of the beautiful state of ALASKA>.

None of us know what is Sarah's motivations, no doubt they are several and one of them may well be saving America for our children. Moving away from becoming a tyranny and a third world lifestyle.

She is a good person wanting the best for herself her family, Alaska and what is better for America. Her works have been in that direction from the start and I see no reason to believe she has changed in that regard. Her own persecution in the medias is enough to turn most anyone away. LIES, twisted thinking. Still it hurts the family and angers a person, they burned her church, etc. Good Grief!!!

Why is it so many people want to tear down rather than encourage hope and right actions?

God help America in this time of trouble and falling away from America's values and our land of opportunity. We know WELFARE is not the road to freedom It is the road to slavery, and total destruction of positive values. We thank thee for thy grace, promises and blessings. Forgive us LORD, thou knows our hearts. We ask thee for light in this time in America, to turn to thee and ask for mercy, forgiveness, healing and direction to please thee LORD, in Jesus name amen.

Exactly, so all we can do is judge from her actions (as with anybody) and those actions since quitting in Alaska are clearly directed toward personal enrichment not public service. That's fine but let's not pretend...

Sarah was correct in resigning as there were new trivial law suits filed everyday that was preventing the Governor from being effective in her job, and she was paying for the defenses out of her own pocket. It was ridiculous how they were hounding her with trivia yet it must be answered. I agree with her decision to move aside and let the state of Alaska get on with the business of the state.

It is a matter of opinion .. those that seek to tear down Sarah, voice the negative side and the ones realizing her conservative views, and what she accomplished in Alaska before she was chosen to be a candidate for VP, want her conservative views to be a part of America's future.

She is the best candidate we could have ... at this time. Few if any of us could stand up under the ugly media lies said about her during the time she was campaigning. She was brave and willing to go forward. She does have a family to consider with two young children.

There is absolutely nothing wrong in writing books, making speeches for a conservative America and doing a Television program that lasted for a few weeks.

God bless and protect,and prosper Sarah Palin.

Our other candidates are Washington politicians already corrupted by the system..

LOOK AT THE MESS WE HAVE NOW.

There is no pretense in my views.

________________________________________

Really, based on what? Certainly not her record...

She did a lousy job as mayor of a town with fewer than 6500 residents. Her botching of a simple land purchase (cost - $250K) led to years of delay, a lost law suit, the exercise of eminent domain and a final price tag of nearly $2 million.

She raised the town sales tax.

She increased the town's budget by 50% (bigger government).

She inherited $1 million in long-term debt and grew it to $20 million by the time she left office.

As a half-term governor she committed the people of Alaska to a $500 million (that's right - half a billion) contribution to the much touted pipelin construction --- and three years later there isn't even a contract to build it in place.

And, let's not forget the windfall profit tax that she imposed on oil companies - a non-negotiated, uni-lateral tax that was in addition to the existing corporate tax and the existing oil revenue sharing royalty program.

Please explain why that makes her the best we could have.

I think she may just run independent and wait until the last possible minute to announce it. No point in giving the MSM any added time to dissemble the facts. I think such a ploy will truly ignite the conservatives b/c the GOP field is so worthless. And the msm thinks the tea party is fading fast too.

So when is the last possible minute for 2012 election cycle?

The last possible chance to enter has past for several early primary states. They can enter, but they can’t win, because the delegates for the early states cannot vote for entries who are not on the ballot. The deadline to get on the ballot has past for Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. Virginia’s deadline comes up in 3 days.

There is no way that a late candidate can simply jump in at any later date and win. The campaign had to be officially organized and entered by now, even for independents and late comers.

“Really, based on what? Certainly not her record...”

Based on the other candidates. Gingrich is an internationalist, and a futurist. He holds to “Toffler’s book the Third Wave”
************************************************************
excerpt from Google on Toffler’s books, Future Shock and the Third Wave. ...

“Since the 1960s, people have been trying to make sense out of the impact of new technologies and social change. Toffler’s writings have been influential beyond the confines of scientific, economic and public policy discussions. Techno music pioneer Juan Atkins cites Toffler’s phrase “techno rebels” in The Third Wave as inspiring him to use the word “techno” to describe the musical style he helped to create[8] Toffler’s works and ideas have been subject to various criticisms, usually with the same argumentation used against futurology: that foreseeing the future is nigh impossible.

In the 1990s, his ideas were publicly lauded by Newt Gingrich.

The development Toffler believes may go down as this era’s greatest turning point is the creation of wealth in outer space. Wealth today, he argues, is created everywhere (globalisation), nowhere (cyberspace), and out there (outer space). Global positioning satellites are key to synchronising precision time and data streams for everything from cellphone calls to ATM withdrawals. They allow just-in-time (JIT) productivity because of precise tracking. GPS is also becoming central to air-traffic control. And satellites increase agricultural productivity through tracking weather, enabling more accurate forecasts.

Two major predictions of Toffler’s—the paperless office and human cloning—have yet to be realized.”

***********************************************************

Newt is a closet liberal posing as a conservative. Observe .. he talks a great speech but hr does something else. Thoroughly check it out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sarah is best ... for the reasons I stated before, she is conservative, she holds to the Constitution. She has Christian values, She is not a corrupt Washington long time politician, she is not afraid to challenge the embedded power structure. She increased the funds from the oil companies and distributed ‘increased yearly checks’ to the people of Alaska every year.

There is no action, word, deed, that can not be twisted by the liberal medias and all the radical progressive liberals. If you want to live under communism, or in a Stalin type of tyranny go to Russia. Putin is coming back and as a former KGB officer he has no compunction to starving the people, keeping them as slaves and having a totalitarian form of government.

I have a cousin in Anchorage, about 78 years of age, he is a democrat, retired now he was a FFA inspector of some sort for 20 years or more and was in the navy. He says Sarah did a wonderful job as Mayor, and as governor, and he has watched her closely since she first appeared on the scene politically. He thinks she is great. He knows her parents, etc.

Sarah is a real truthful person with morals and good common sense, and strength of character. She would appoint a Conservative to the Supreme Court when it comes up again.
