Comments on: Palin: I'm Not a Quitter

Alaska Governor Says She's a Fighter in Broadcast Interviews, but Adds That "Politically Speaking, if I Die, I Die"

[steeepe]

Palin is as inarticulate as Bush and about as dumb. My favorite quotes from her speech:

"my staff and I spend most of our day dealing with THIS instead of progressing our state now." "Progressing" the state?

"We took government out of the dairy business and put it back into private-sector hands - where it should be." Exactly what Republicans believe: get government out of government and give it all to the private sector, who will look out for your best interests, no doubt.

"it may be tempting and more comfortable to just keep your head down, plod along, and appease those who demand: "Sit down and shut up", but that's the worthless, easy path; that's a quitter's way out." And then she quits!!!

This is what is wrong with America. Our politicians actually expect us to believe what is coming out of their mouths OVER their actions. The woman quits her job, yet HALF the country believes her when she says 'I am not a quitter'.

Wall Street: Give me one trillion dollars or I'll stop lending. Oh, also, 'I am not a bank robber!'

[ReallyMeanIt]

liberal press: O great one, we know you didn't quit on the people of Illinois.
teleprompter barrack: Of course not, I was just stop working for them.
liberal press: I heard you have so many ingenious plans to get the country back on its feet.
teleprompter barrack: I do? Of course I do. I'll implemented when I get back from my many vacations and getaways.
liberal press: So how is michele and the kids?
teleprompter barrack: Give me a sec, the teleprompter is down.
------teleprompter is back up------
teleprompter barrack: They are doing fine.
liberal press: The Republican seemed to think you are weak on defense of the country. Is that true?
teleprompter barrack: Of course not. Dictators will be crazy not to listen my great speeches. Heck, we don't even need the military after I'm done talking to those folks.
liberal press: Thank you Barrack, you are a inspiration to us all and I'll name my first son after you.
teleprompter barrack: And for first daughter after Michele right.
liberal press: Of course your greatness.

high moral ground LMAO She used the office to try and get an ex brother in law fired, she lied continuously, and she has long record of hpocrisy,

Made them look foolish huh LMAO I don't see any lawsuits. She just brought the allegations to the forefront and put it into the news. I guess she wanted her name associated in the same sentence as scandal.

Her detractors do not come from the gutter, they just use her words and deeds against her.

Sarah Palin says she's not a quitter, she's a fighter, but adds that, politically speaking, "if I die, I die. So be it."

From your lips to God's ears, Sarah.

[craftycandi]

Not sure how many times you feel you need to post this comment, afloatinasea; however, Mr. Clinton was impeached (but didn't quit) for perjury regarding this particular "scandal" back in 1998.

[shawnp1968]

Sarah Palin- "I'm NOT a quitter! I'm just....quitting, that's all"

Political suicide! Too bad it wasn't "real life" Can't you just picture her hanging in a closet in Thailand with a ball gag in her mouth and hog-tied?

[Slrman]

"I'm not a quitter"? So what do you call someone that resigns an office for which they campaigned very hard and resigns for no apparent reason?

Actually, everyone will be better off if she just retires with her trailer-trash family and keeps her head down instead of making increasingly stupid public statements. Somehow, I don't think she will be smart enough to do that. Even worse, there will be neo-cons stupid enough to support her. But then, I guess "neo-con" and "stupid" is a redundancy.

[mrzerato]

I see that you are already in Palinworld, the place where quitting is not quitting. Do you get foreign affairs experience there by looking at Russia. Can you see Russia from your front porch

[gangesdak]

Why should you be a quitter, Palin? We are counting on you to be on the forefront of the GOP. After Michael Jackson, yours will be the biggest circus.

[bassinapple]

So much for that "diva" talk. This is a real woman. She owns the moral high ground. Her attackers come at her from the gutter, leaving her to easily put them in their place. Just as she did with Letterman, and those that brought the "embezzlement" charges. Her legal counsel made MSNBC, the Huggington Post, New York Times, and The Washington Post, look foolish.

Yea, she's currently training for her "next campaign" by gutting fish in remote Alaska fishing villages. Yep. That should help.

[cs4466]

Looks to me like she's dedicating more time to gutting fish. LOL Poor bitter stinky Sarah. ;)

[cs4466]

Yep, the Witch of Wasilla isn't known for her intellectual prowess. ;) But that didn't stop GW Bush either.

[ReallyMeanIt]

LOL, you must have barracks hypocritical syndrome.
barrack quit on the people of Illinois, tell us to tighen our belt while vacationing all over the world.
Quitter = barrack hussein obama = hypocrite

Despite leaving office about two-thirds of the way through her term, Palin "is not a quitter," Van Flein said. He added that she "already accomplished her major goals," including winning legislative approval for a massive natural gas pipeline.

But Ramras, who calls himself "a pro-development, conservative Republican," called that assertion "crazy." Though the pipeline project won approval in the state Legislature, Alaska has yet to establish a "durable and predictable" financial structure that will get producers to commit to the plan.

"Anyone who thinks we've started anything is delusional. ... What she did was she created a Gordian knot and then handed it off to someone else," he said.

[blog_fever2]

Oh wow! She is not a quitter, she is a resigner... lol

[mrzerato]

"Especially when all these lawmakers are lining up for office," she said. "Their desire would be to clobber the administration left and right so that they can position themselves for office. I'm not going to put Alaskans through that."

And that will change how when they have a new and less experienced governor. They will still be "lining up for office." They will still be wanting to "clobber the administration left and right so that they can position themselves for office."

Nothing will change except Palin will not be fulfilling her term because she QUIT

[nanc12]

Palin said there is a difference between the White House and what she has experienced in Alaska. If she were in the White House the "department of law" would protect her from baseless ethical allegations.

"I think on a national level your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out," she said.


There is no Department of Law.

NEWCO123, don't really know where you got you stats, but my guess is they came from some right-wing radio/tv personality and/or radical right-wing website. I suppose you aren't aware of the FACT that increased education corrolates with more liberal political beliefs...but then again when did FACTS stand in the way of a conservative?
