    • Sarah Palin: Giving you Reason to Celebrate this Independence Day

    Can’t wait to hear what Sarah plans to do next!

    Palin Resigning as Alaska Governor
    http://www.conservatives4palin.com/2009/07/palin-resigning-as-alaska-governor.html

    “You don’t hear much of the good stuff in the press anymore, do you?”

    “I choose, for my State and my family, more ‘freedom’ to progress, all the way around… so that Alaska may progress… I will not seek re-election as Governor…”

    “In fact, this decision comes after much consideration, and finally polling the most important people in my life – my children (where the count was unanimous… well, in response to asking: ‘Want me to make a positive difference and fight for ALL our children’s future from OUTSIDE the Governor’s office?’ It was four ‘yes’s’ and one ‘hell yeah!’ The ‘hell yeah’ sealed it – and someday I’ll talk about the details of that… I think much of it had to do with the kids seeing their baby brother Trig mocked by some pretty mean-spirited adults recently.) Um, by the way, sure wish folks could ever, ever understand that we ALL could learn so much from someone like Trig – I know he needs me, but I need him even more… what a child can offer to set priorities RIGHT – that time is precious… the world needs more ‘Trigs’, not fewer…”

    “In the words of General MacArthur said, ‘We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.’”

    Mark Levin: Sarah Palin Resignation

    “Sarah Palin is the biggest attraction in the Republican party… She is a huge draw throughout the country. She is the biggest draw in the Republican party. She is extremely popular and able… “

    “Sorry, I like this lady. They’re something about her that’s refreshing to me… She’s very articulate. She has a connection with common folks.”

    “They’re [Democrats] scared of her. And this is the national democrats, too and the White House.”

    Happy Independence Day!
    Sarah Palin 2012!

    Video: Matalin thinks Palin is “brilliant” for resigning
    http://hotair.com/archives/2009/07/04/video-matalin-thinks-palin-is-brilliant-for-resigning/

    “Well, I think it’s really brilliant, with two caveats, one being that there’s nothing else, ala the Sanford fiasco. There’s nothing else that we don’t know. If all that’s there is what we see right now, it’s brilliant.’

    “And, secondly, that she has a plan and people have a plan to put up with the conventional wisdom, chatterati and the political class saying how stupid it is, because it’s brilliant.”

    Ann Coulter Explains Palin’s Exit
    http://www.wowowow.com/politics/ann-coulter-explains-palins-exit-330908

    “Even though she’s just a state governor, she’s a HUGE national star who is both sought after and attacked as if she is already a president…”

    “Meanwhile, the Lt. Gov. is a great guy, so she’s leaving the state in good hands and now she can go on to be an even bigger star…”

    “She’ll be much bigger now and can play on the national stage without constantly setting off state ethics investigations by loons, parasites and liberals. None of this applied to McCain or Kerry – both of whom went back to the Senate – because their national campaigns diminished them. Palin’s national campaign made her a major star. As she said, she’s not retreating, she’s advancing in another direction.”

      I wanted to see what your response would be. . . As time goes by, I am hopeful the strategic reasons will be revealed, because I really LIKE Sarah Palin. But, this could go wrong and provide more fuel for criticism — which I don’t want.

      Certainly it will provide more criticism, just like everything she does, but it is personal, off-topic criticism. As she said yesterday,


      “The response in the main stream media has been most predictable, ironic, and as always, detached from the lives of ordinary Americans who are sick of the ‘politics of personal destruction’. How sad that Washington and the media will never understand; it’s about country.”

      “But now I am thinking Palin is doing something very remarkable…”

      “I’m thinking Sarah Palin – who is only 45 years old and working in the most changeable of fields – is not as ‘done’ as many think. I wrote yesterday that one does not do what Palin did unless ‘politics no longer matters.’ But I’ll revise that, too. One does not do what Palin has done, unless politics in its current form, no longer matters.”

      “I think, now that Palin is playing her own game, but it’s clear that no one knows anything, except the Palins, a formidable family unit that – when you come right down to it – owes no explanations to anyone, and her base seems to understand, without needing details.”

      “Palin mentioned yesterday a saying that her parents kept on the fridge: ‘Don’t explain; your friends don’t need it, and your enemies won’t believe you anyway.’”

      I LOVE THIS PART which is exactly what I thought:

      “Perhaps Palin chose the eve of Independence Day to declare her own liberty, to declare herself free of the tyrannical press and busy left, because she is going her own way.”

      “There’s no particular issue that attracts Muth to Palin. He wants to see her run because ‘she has her head screwed on straight.’”

      “‘Some of the others ought to take lessons from her,’ he said, adding that as president, ‘she’d do it right.’”

      “This is to provide notice…those who republish the defamation, such as Huffington Post, MSNBC, The New York Times and The Washington Post, that the Palins will not allow them to propagate defamatory material without answering to this in a court of law.”
