Governor Sarah Palin announced her resignation from the Alaska Governor’s mansion today … effective 26 July – when Lt. Governor Sean Parnell will take over …
The Liberals are celebrating – since their smear tactics seem to have worked on Palin (but only IF she’s going back into private life and disavowing a political future – and this isn’t really clear yet).
The Ayatollah’s in the Republican Party – are hopeful this is the end of her – but not all of them are convinced she’s done. Exhibit A here – it’s Krauthammer … attempting to administer the death blow …
If Krauthammer really thought she was done – he’d have wished her well – maybe even used the opportunity to point out that the smear tactics of the left are taking good people out of politics and here’s another one. If he’d thought she was “finished” – he could have also said – “sad to see we won’t see her running for President”.
But that’s not the tone the elites in the GOP have taken – they are now rushing into the street to administer death blows to Sarah Palin because they fear she’s resigning to make a serious run – and that possibility threatens the GOP elitist power base of the Ayatollahs of the party – like John Cornyn.
Let me say this – her career may be over. She clearly states in her resignation speech that she’s now required to spend more time defending against ethics charges than she does actually running the affairs of Alaska as Governor. This is not her fault – the charges are frivolous – every one of them has been defeated so far – but they keep coming at her non-stop.
So there’s a certain logic to … “Well, I can’t do anything for Alaska … and I’m getting nothing but killed by the media and the leftists … why bother anymore?”
If that’s the case … she’s leaving honorably. I quite frankly SPIT on anyone who suggests she can’t “cut it” or is doing this for selfish reasons. I spent the majority of my life in the military – and in the military – if you are a leader and become ineffective – you resign your leadership post. It doesn’t matter if the reasons you’re ineffective are beyond your control. It doesn’t matter if it’s someone else’s fault. If you become in-effective – you think of the unit first – you resign your post and surrender your position to one who can be effective.
In this – I wholeheartedly identify with Governor Palin. And those who can’t see this fact are woefully jaded to the traditional values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment.
There’s another possibility also …
That all of the above is true – but Sarah Palin IS NOT DONE WITH POLITICS.
She may have decided that the honorable thing to do was to resign – but to then take the battle to the bastards who’ve been hounding her. She may be going into the next phase.
Whatever phase she’s going into above – I support her. If she’s leaving politics – I understand.
But I’ll tell you this – this does nothing but steel my resolve to never vote for the GOP Ayatollah’s again – and I encourage all to do likewise.
The bottom line here is this – Sarah Palin was a Governor with an 80 percent plus approval rating, minding her own business in Alaska until she was asked to save the failing campaign of John McCain. She jumped into the fight – and fought well. For her effort – her family’s been dragged through the mud; $500,000 in debt defending frivolous legal charges; and the GOP Ayatollah’s have taken anonymous “pot shots” at her from the darkened shadows – because they don’t have the balls to lay it there with their face in the camera. That’s cowardice sportsfans. And I don’t care what you think of Sarah Palin – you have to agree that cowards don’t deserve our vote – even if they proclaim to be “Conservative”.
Sarah and Todd Palin made $150,000 total in 2006 between the two of them. Many of us … with our spouses make more than that – I know my wife and I do. This makes Sarah and Todd Palin Socio-Economic “Next Door Neighbors” with most of us out here.
And that’s one of the reasons the GOP Ayatollah’s want her gone – while they pander to us Walmart Folks. While they pretend to be “one of us” … it’s just an act to gain a vote. But for Sarah Palin – she’s the genuine article. A Christian Woman, Pro-Life, Principled, Middle-Class, Smart – and NOT beholden to the Ayatollah’s. That makes her a threat to the GOP – that’s why they’ve been shitting on her since the campaign in 2008 ended with a defeat for RINO Ayatollah McCain.
I have a message for the Ayatollahs. If she’s still in politics – you’re screwed. If she’s out – you’re still screwed.
Personally – I’ll go to the polls in 2012 and hold my nose and vote for Obama – then wait with my rifle for the apocolypse. But I’m not voting for another Ayatollah.
My message to the Ayatollah’s – you’d better find a way to embrace Sarah Palin – if you can’t embrace her – then I know you can’t really embrace me and millions of others like her.

Reading this post felt like when Uma Thurman got shot in the chest with adrenaline in Pulp Fiction. I’m Uma Thurman, and all that heroin in my veins was the poisonous, RINO, elitist, blogging, geek-snobbery, ninny-politics of the middle that was diluting my American blood. I love when reality exposes the liars and their lies.
Btw, I linked here from the 1,300+ HotAir post…. great job, and keep it up. Not just old media, but even bad new media gets exposed as shite by the new media. Bring on the conservative political revolution. F**k the political parties of the beltway suits. This is America, dammit. American voters make the parties, run the parties and destroy the parties.
The Cuda is zeroing in on the enemy. She’s a moving target, that’s why the media follows her, and that’s why she’s not hunkering down in AK. They’re two steps behind her, that’s why they’re bringing more firepower and still failing to slow her down. They won’t see her when she takes them out. It’ll be quick, clean and then they’ll be forgotten about, and all their failures to destroy her will be forgotten about.
Why are elites of both parties scared shitless by SP? She alone can credibly tell union rank and file they”ve been getting fucked for years by their own union bosses. She alone can tell republicans they’ve been getting screwed royally by Goldman Sachs without even getting a kiss on the cheek after they’re done. She alone can say she’s starting to question our strategy in Afghanistan and still have the respect of the armed forces. She alone is trustworthy.
If we had twenty Sarah’s to pick from, I’d look for the super duper smartest one, or the way experienced one, but we only have one Sarah Palin, and that’s miracle enough for me.
