"Oh, I don't think she quit," said Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee in 2008 who plucked Palin out of near-obscurity and made her a household name. "I think she changed her priorities."

so if i get fired, it's not that i've lost my job, but just that my employer changed my priorities for me?

Now we can really see the libs coming out of the woodwork to practice their hate and exhibit what low class is all about.
What's funny is they think their true color is what America is all about.
Maybe they should spend some time helping their dear leader finding his 57 states, or 56, 55, 54.........instead of paying all their attention to Palin. Some even denied wasting their time on her a few dozen times....LOL
We know barrack is not a quitter. What's he up to? 2 packs a day?
And thanks the libs for deciding Russ Limbaugh is my leader. Didn't know I needed one until the libs told me. All this time, I thought it was OK to think for myself.

Your party likes to torture, start illegal wars and get a bunch of Americans and people from other countries killed--and deregulate businesses so they can go hog wild. Shut up. The only thing you can say about Obama is that he one time said there were 57 states--where shall we start with Palin? That she thought Africa was a country? Or that when Obama said there were 57 states, Palin tried to write that down and remember it, because she thought it was the truth?

It would be easier to find what Palin said that made sense than what was ignorant and harebrained, the woman is such a ditz.

Now I know where all the insane, ridiculous, and freaky people go: CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN. Wow. First time here, last time too. You are all so narrow-minded. Judge not lest ye be judged. Guess what? You are a no-life, low-life.

She knows what she's going to do! She's going to make a living being a political banquet speaker! How nice!

And, she's even willing to come and 'put the kiss of death'---er, help out,any Democrats who want to enlist her aid! How sweet!

I'm really curious IF there is any Democrat silly enough to 'take her up on this offer'?! What Democrat wants to be endorsed by this 'air-head'--- that's got to be a politician in REAL trouble!?

Let me get this stright Ricard Nixion did not leave the white houe he just change his priorties? I don't think so.

"Palin: I'm Not Leaving Politics". She is basically rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Palin basically trash her chances for high office and she is not swift enought to realize that her political career is now history.

Do you honesty believe she would have been placed on the GOP's ticket as vice-presidential nominee, if she WASN'T part of the existing ruling class of politicians?! Think about it!

SHE knows who she's working for, even if you don't! No offense intended!

Palin, Used Basketball & the Point Guard Position as a Metaphor regarding the Game of Politics was a ...

[Very-Bad Example]


A Point Guard will Not Quit a [Game]

Especially Mid-Way Through the 3rd Quarter of a Crucial Game, to Quit is not, Passing the Ball, to Advance or Help the Team, its...

[Quitting] [Phoning it in] & [Giving Up]

Plain & Simple.


In Palin's case, the Game is called [Politics]

Note: Unless he or She is Pulled, Benched, Injured-Fouled Out...

I Repeat, He-She Will Not Quit Mid-Way in the 3rd Quarter...

He or She will Finish the [Game]

Win,Lose or Draw ...

Win, Lose or Draw.


If Sarah Palin Can not Handle the Media Pressure from a Governors Stand Point [Alaska] how in the Hell can she Handle the Congress, Senate,VP of the USA or the...

Highest Office in the Land, The Presidency of the USA.

Palin Couldn't Cut it and there's Much More to her Abrupt & Hurried Resignation than what Palin Revealed Yesterday, but its coming.

Basketball Exposes Cheats, Quitters & Pretenders.

Basketball also Molds, Winners under Extreme Duress, who Rise to the Occasion, not Succumb to the Pressures of the Game, but Face their Worst Fears & Conquer their Demons....

While the World, Naysayers, Pundits & Odds Makers Watch in Awe as the the Basketball Player, Proves them ...WRONG !!

Note: Look at Kobe Bryant, as the Ultimate in Handling the Media and Rising to the Top, in Spite of it all, Not Running or Succumbing to Mass Media, its Called [Character]

Award-winning journalist, filmmaker and historian

Some pundits have said that Palin's Resignation is out of character.

Hardly.

Don't forget that she Resigned from her last Statewide Office.

Sarah Palin is a [Quitter]

More to come on Palin's Erratic & Un-Predictable Political Patterns.

----------------------------------

Anyone who is in any way surprised by Sarah Palin's announcement today that she will not be seeking re-election, and, even more significantly, is stepping down as Governor of Alaska, has not been paying close attention. The signs have been everywhere.

Palin has absolutely zero interest in running the State of Alaska.

She steadfastly refused to live in Juneau after her first year there, had the gall to charge the state for residing at her home in Wasilla 600 miles away, and she basically mailed in her performance as the state's top administrator during Alaska's most recent legislative session. She has alienated virtually all the key legislators in her own party -- that's right, Republicans -- and had failed to move any key legislation forward since her return to Alaska from the national campaign trail last November.

In fact, her bizarre appointment for Attorney General, Wayne Anthony Ross, was rejected nearly unanimously by the state legislature -- a first in Alaskan history. Even in respect to energy policy, her supposed bailiwick, she has been categorically ineffective.

When I asked those in-the-know what role Palin had played in putting together the recent pipeline deal between TransCanada and Exxon, their response was simple: "None."

None.

That about sums up Palin's accomplishments as Governor of the Last Frontier.

Some pundits have said that Palin's resignation is out of character. Hardly. ...

Don't forget that she [Resigned-Quit] her last statewide office -- that as Chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.

Sarah Palin is a [Quitter].

She fancies herself something else. But, in the end, she [Quit] her position at AOGCC and she has now [Quit] her Governorship.

That's Two-For-Two at the Statewide Level.

In Wasilla, there was nearly a recall launched against her as Mayor.

Trouble and Turbulence have followed her [EVERYWHERE]
