Why is Sarah Palin Stepping Aside?

MSNBC: Sarah Palin announced Friday she plans to resign as governor of Alaska in a few weeks, saying she will try to "affect positive change" from outside government. Palin, the Republican vice presidential candidate in 2008, made the surprise announcement at a press conference at her home in suburban Wasilla. She said the decision has been "in the works" for a while and comes after "prayer and consideration" and discussions with her family.

Sarah Palin has had enough of American Political office. The Enemedia, the Liberal Fascists supported by the Media, and the Elitist Country Club Republicans cannot stand a strong woman who believes in God, Freedom and the American Constitution and Bill of Rights. After her children have been relentlessly attacked, I believe Sarah will never run for office again, but fight hard from the private sector, leading the American Movement fighting to reclaim our Republic from the Marxists and Fascists.

America…whatever this woman does is in the best interests of her family.

She has endured more of the Democratzi hatred than any other in modern times.

But it was not only her…she could take it…but the Democratzi have attacked her children repeatedly and that is a no no! But the Democratzi of today are an evil, leacherous groups of individuals who have no bounds and no morals or values! They hate whatever is good and righteous and above board…something they know nothing of!

Furthermore, no one in opposition to the Democratzi have ever, ever done the same to the children of people of position.

Chelsea was off limits, the Obama children are off limits, the Bush girls (but only after a couple of episodes that had to be handled) and Amy Carter was off limits…and that is how it should be!

These are children! They are sensitive and have not yet formed a defense system to take all the barbs that have come their way!

I believe she is also trying to protect Alaska and it’s people…which she is deeply devoted too!

She can not realistically do her daily work for the State when she is continually having to deal with all the attacks to her family!

She knows it is not fair to them and she is willing to sacrifice so that the running of the State can go on without diversion!

America…the Democratzi hate her! I have never seen such hate spewed on any one political figure…let alone a woman!

They have a right to fear her…she has a great following and she is young and still will be available for future service in our government!

Governor Palin…GOD bless you as you walk the path you have chosen. GOD bless your beautiful children and your husband, Todd.

You are a blessed family…you are loved much and appreciated for the strength you have shown under such diverse attacks by the Democratzi!

We look forward to seeing you again in future days!

I read it might have something to do with her house being built
in exchange for political favors that involved certain business deals.

I don’t know. How is quitting your job when it gets tough consistent with core values like self-reliance and public service? I guess I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, but it sure seems like something funny is going on. I have a hard time blaming the media for her not being able to handle the fairly common pressures of a life in the public eye — a life she chose willingly and embraced enthusiastically.

Sarah Palin is a champion of truth and right in the political arena. Because she brings great hope to the many who are starving for someone to stand for what is right in life and in politics, her opponents have no other recourse than to combat her character and courageous valor for the cause of humanity and freedom by opening their vile mouths and spewing forth that which is contained in their rotten, morally decayed, degenerate, worthless, and hate filled inner cavities devoid of anything resembling a human soul.

Sarah Palin, in contrast to her filthy attackers, brings forth the same kind of joy that must have been experienced by the author of our national anthem when he experienced seeing that banner that formed us a nation still waving in the dawns early light after the terrible long night of attacks.

May the banner of hope, charity, brotherly kindness, godliness, love and diligence still wave in the hearts of the free and good men and women of this land. Only by such can we be preserved as a nation.

Chicken, duck, quail. That is about as foul as I get.

Even Sarah knows that she does not have a prayor of a chance.
