Comments on: Analysis: Palin Was Fed Up

Alaska Governor Struggled With an Inhospitably Post-Campaign Environment

Sarah isn't a private citizen...along as she is out in the public, politician, fundraising, or what have you, then she is fair game for the press and her favorite publication the National Enquire without protection from "privacy" -- a right that has been mostly destroyed by another GOPer Hero -- Darth Cheney!

Palin was always in over her head, so much so that she didn't even know it, but the GOP never cared. They used her looks as a distraction from their tired old John. Just like Prejean, the people most in need of feeling shame are those that pushed these weakminded sadsacks out on a national platform without even a Receptionist Desk to hide behind, which is where they both belong.

Wallow! Ha!!

Wife & I laffed till my eyes watered!...

I don't get it, the GOP Ship has sunk and hit rock bottom and now Palin is jumping ship?!?!?!?!?

Palin's alledged base consists nothing more of the remaining crusted old sediment of the GOP -- and this group in and of its own simply don't have the numbers to affect squat...And as long as this is the case the GOP will never govern again.

Alaska is about as fed up with Palin as she is with Alaska, apparently.

Good for Sarah !
People assume they can dish out as much cr*p to political leaders as they want and have no consequences... and that may be true....But dish out the same lies to a private citizen and you will have your hiny dragged into court for slander. Does any one doubt this ?

I would expect to see rigorous legal action, defense against exploitative use of the Palin family name, law suits against people publicly attacking her children, law suits against bloggers knowingly spreading lies, law suits against the entertainment industry/news media for making money using her name without permission.

If anybody has the evidence, ability, and the means to take on the news media/entertainment industry, it would be Sarah Palin. And she could not do this as a sitting Governor.

So be careful POSTERS, your first amendment rights do not include the right to spread lies about a private citizen. Don't think you anonymity is safe here on the boards either, CBS would sell you out in a second.

He's hiding in Switzerland as a UBS chairman.

Yea,very scarry.Just as scarry is who McCain picked for his economics advisor... You know, " America is a nation of whiners", "Recession of the mind". Complete deregulation. Name that Neo con!

Na Na Na Na Na Hey Hey good bye!! Ah, Sarah we hardly knew you and now you are gone.

[skyk-2009]

No RellyMeanIt, Just about EVERYONE say it on TV, well those of us who were watching the REAL news that is. Most disgusting creatures I've ever seen showed up at her rallies.

[skyk-2009]

ReallyMeanIt, you really have a serious problem with the ELECTED President of this Country. Is there a reason you can't accept the AMERICAN SYSTEM or the decision of the MILLIONS of People who turned out in RECORD NUMBERS to vote FOR this Very Intelligent Young Leader? You know IF I hated a people and a system as much as you obviously do THIS Nation, I'd find another Country to live in... North Korea should suit you pretty good!

[airboatboy]

This nutcase was in a position to be Prez if something happened to McCain and people still voted Republican. Amazing.

[skyk-2009]

Exactly WHO is a "LIBERAL" to you MEATHEAD? I have listened to you clowns for years as you attempt to put American's into your Hate Box and NEVER ONCE have I heard one of you properly represent ONE thing I stand for. I am, as my father before me, a LIBERAL. Does that mean I agree with everything everyone else who is a Liberal says, NO! Does that mean I don't take care of or care for my family? No! In fact, to be honest, your poor bigoted uneducated fool who wouldn't know a liberal if one walked up and bit you on the nose.

[skyk-2009]

She QUIT for crying out loud. She COULDN'T take the HEAT as the Governor of ALASKA! Now IF she can't take THAT, who in their right mind thinks she can deal with what goes on HERE every day toward President Obama? She was a spoiled brat who'd been handed everything because she was a Pretty Woman. When she was forced to deal with reality she folded like a cheap suit. There's no way to spin that folks.

[skyk-2009]

You just go right ahead d7767w trying to put American's in a Box and call them conservatives or Liberals. That will get you right where you are. I can put two Americans in a room for half an hour and they will disagree within 5 minutes, take a Conservative Position AND a Liberal Position within 15 minutes AND change their position again 5 minutes AFTER leaving. ONE fact is certain though! When they decided to turn the page and move on, the Party that refuses to do that will be left behind. That is why the Republican Party is now a regional party.

[skyk-2009]

What does our Young President have to do with the post? You people in the Fringe Right are really out there. Anyone with a brain can see that Falin Palin didn't have the ability for the big time. She lacked the basic judgment and temperament to stay on the stage and now she's off. What she SHOULD have done was, after the Election, went back to her state and been the best governor she could have been. Instead she played the "Look at me I'm special" card... that brought her attention alright, just not the attention she wanted.

[nextgenman09]

Palin is a delusional freak. And she resigned because a scandal is about to emerge.

This coming from someone who has YET to get any math right yet. Seems you still are having some problems with your addition and subtraction. There are more than 17% of Americans who are republicans

Now PRAY TELL what does the statement of the poster have to do with math? IF you are going to sling mud on MATH the post MUST have something to do with math. Anyway the percentage of American's calling themselves Republican is actually 25%, yes but when you factor out the Stupid South it's LESS than 17%... those folks aren't about Politics but are still trying to punish the Democrats for the Civil Rights Act. LOL

What a looser

Except that remember Bristol had told her mother that she and her boyfriend were planning on getting married. Sarah probably assumed that it would not look that bad after her daughter got married, and if Bristol was mature enough to have a baby then she was mature enough to handle a little publicity. From the sound of things, Bristol wasn't the one who scotched the idea of getting married to her boyfriend, it was the boyfriend who didn't want to get married to Bristol.

Think of how teriffic it would look for "Family Values" to have Bristol and hubby married and on the talk shows. You know that the GOP's answer to young unmarried pregnant woman who want to get an abortion is to not have the abortion and to go get married. It would have been a GOP wet dream come true to be parading that couple around as young man and wife.
