Hey barrack, you quit on the people of Illinois and the senate.
Don't let the messiah label swelles your head, you're still an idiot.

Sorry, my last post addressed the broad range issue...

As far as the legal issue. There is no precedent for Mrs. Palin [as a political figure] to win a lawsuit and if she tries, she could be held accountable for slanderous statements she herself has made.

I would very much like to see her live up to what she asks of others on her own behalf!

I am struck by Mrs. Palin's assumption that if she were to remain governor, she would become like the "lame duck politician" she clearly described.

She wouldn't work as hard as she can for her state if she was not going to seek re-election?

Seriously and without party or ideology bias, I will stress: this is not a person who should be considered for national office ... ALL presidents on a second term are "lame ducks".... do they all just give up and say, oh well I can't run again, so I'll just quit.

I wish the Palin family well.

I heard the reason for the bailout was because Palin is in legal trouble.

It seems a group of bearded Muslims were recently vacationing in Alaska. They decided to go on a hunting excursion, Palin saw them, mistook them for some Moose, grabbed the helicopter and the guns and shot the poor guys.

Sarah Palin is facing a major ethics violations probe for bribery among other things. How true it is I don't know but I would not be surprised in the least. She is a corrupt ex-government official and about as self-serving an individual as there could be. And she is not too bright at all.

Foe whatever legal trouble she may be in, she will be doing the show circuit raking in millions no doubt while continuing to make a fool of herself.

A woman, who was interviewed in Alaska today said on the news that she was glad Palin was leaving. She said just about anyone who replaces Palin would have to be empathetic to the people, something Palin obviously knew nothing about.

Is'nt that a typical Republican label? They do not care about the people, just their ideology and party. And any Republican who thinks Liberals are afraid of Palin are simply deluding themselves. Think what you want Palin supporters, but Palin will NEVER be elected POTUS!

Silly lawyer. She is republican and conservative.If she were LIBERAL or gay, or a democrat or all 3 then we would have a legal basis for Defamation.

Bad republicans bad. The media must attack them and protect the LIBERALS.

Well actually, if the stories are false, she has the right to sue for slander. So in theory if the bloggers who blogged that she stepped down because of a investigation or for bribery charges are false, she has the right to sue.

Obama had the right to sue her for what she said, but he knew that everything she said was true and it could be proven

An additional comment - Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, Gibson, etc. get away with making wild statements about people they attack because they attack public figures. They know that these folks, should they wish to sue, would be wasting their money on lawyers.

Palin is a public figure and will most likely remain so. As such, the courts have already determined that she is fair game. All talk of lawsuits againist her critics is pure hype. She might file one or two lawsuits but, because she cannot afford such legal costs, that would be all. All would very likely never come to trial or be settled. The judge would simply dismiss them.

It was the conservatives that marched with Martin Luther King. When did Revisionist History become the norm with you people?

The 'big ethics violation investigation' is probably it! BINGO!
IF she gets indicted on BIG charges, that's it, her political career is OVER! So from her perspective, it's better to quit up front, offer a bogus reason or two, 'hide behind God'---say you're on a mission from God, and then QUIT!

Often times quitting office results in NO investigation of these politicians, because they are no longer in that position and able to cheat the public any further! So, investigators don't bother!

That's why I think she quit. Quit to avoid charges, but preserve your
ability to remain in politics!

Her only 'mission' is to enrich herself at the expense of the public.

Since 1987, the stupid have been allowed to finish their sentences. Not only that, they have been allowed to silence the intelligent in midstream. The stupid are confusing the parties "Republican" and "Democrat" with concepts "republic" and "democracy" such that they call for an end to democracy (not kidding, heard at a 7/4 tea party). If Palin's inability to read and write does not impede her, then the intelligent will have to get muscular.

Politicians are basically a bunch of 2 faced back stabbing liers/con artists. I really don't think Sarah Palin fits in with that group of people. Best wishes Mrs. Palin.
