Palin to Campaign for Perry

Texas Gov. Rick Perry says Sarah Palin is committed to campaigning for his re-election bid and that he welcomes the support of the soon-to-be-former Alaska governor.

"Sarah and I were friends well back before she became a national star," Perry told The Associated Press after a luncheon speech to a Lions Club in Conroe, just north of Houston. "She'll be here."

For those shouting "quitter"!

The Left is shouting from the rooftops and even some on the Right are screaming and whining that Sarah Palin is a quitter.

A quitter who is someone that gives up too easily. I hardly see how anyone could use that word to define Sarah Palin who is refusing to sit idly by and let the country she loves go down without a fight. Those who oppose her say she is a quitter in an attempt to discredit her because they would love to see her sit behind a desk unable to do anything about what is happening to our country and fighting more ethics complaints.

She very clearly explained her reasons for what she is doing and with that she also said she had asked her family, "Want me to make a positive difference and fight for ALL our children's future from outside the Governor's office?"

There are people all over the United States that have had it with how government is spending money, intruding into private business and into our private lives. We feel alone, not heard, not represented and that is why we have a growing movement of the Tea Parties.

I sit here before my readers fully supporting Sarah Palin as she goes forward to spread a message to affect change in this country and do her level best to not let our country take a hard left turn. I feel honored and humbled as a parent that she is out there fighting for this country's childrens' future while her future in politics may be damaged. That she is willing to step out of the box and speak up. Sarah Palin is not a dumb woman and she knew as she turned in her resignation that whatever she said, can and will be used against her in a court of main stream media, future champaigns, and blogs everywhere.

Sarah Palin putting her own future at risk, to fight for our whole country, is more admirable to me than any governor's term she didn't finish.

Palin right to step down

To the editor:

In case you're wondering what this Alaskan thinks of Sarah stepping down before her term is up...

I know, from my own observation of the articles and editorials and multiple facetious ethics complaints that Sarah could make no move — regardless of how mundane — without constant harassment. Yes, I use the word "harassment" because I believe that is what it has been.

No political figure is immune, nor should they be immune, from questioning (those who know me know I've done my share of that on the local and state level over the years) of motives, proper procedures, etc. That's part of the process.

However, when it comes to the point that a person who is attempting to do her best in the position she was elected to do cannot do so, and when the cost in time and money to the individual and to the state to defend against allegations, becomes the prudent thing to do to step away.

I think it was an unselfish move to have chosen to step away from the office of governor and I believe that it was a matter of analyzing the ability to continue to be effective and judging that with the onslaught of attacks of every move and concluding that it was time to step aside.

I believe it is time to impose a fee for filing ethics complaints, which can be refunded if the complaint is found to have merit. I believe those who filed multiple complaints, which were dismissed, were on a well-thought out campaign that cost them nothing. There needs to be a process whereby folks can continue to file complaints and expect a fair and unbiased review, yet those who use that process for a campaign for destruction are held accountable for a part of the expense.

Has she been a good governor? Yes she has. Has she been able to accomplish getting major goals accomplished through bringing thorny players together? Yes.

Would an ugly male be treated the same way by the media? Murkowski wasn't. Obama isn't.

I have to agree with one commenter who stated, to the effect of "Just believe what she's saying." Don't look for alligators under rose bushes.

I only hope that some of the media people and "bloggers" who pushed this to this extent can have a measure of conscience and learn that there is a line and they have crossed it.

A Lesson on Politics

I Still Hate You, Sarah Palin - The Republicans bring a knife to a gunfight, and lose again is the title to an article that will explain the Left's process of smearing and discrediting Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin. Whether you love or hate Palin the article linked above is a must read. What it all boils down to is that most Americans are buying into petty side shows put on by the left and the left leaning main stream media. It's time for us to ditch the soap opera, Hollywood mentality and start looking at the records of the people you are voting for.

I was amazed during the campaign that the message of the left had touched so many people; even my friends that I have spent countless hours arguing the facts with.

After you read, I Still Hate You, Sarah Palin, email it to friends, post it to your facebook, whatever it takes to get the word out and wake people up from the gossip and rumor mills that run America's political machine.

Sarah, Speaking Up, and Speaking Out

Below are a couple of the questions that Sarah Palin answered for Time Magazine. Within her answers I'm reminded why I became her supporter and am willing to stand behind her whatever her future may hold.

I'm so excited about her getting out there, challenging the current administration, and spreading a message that is not getting out to enough people.

The critics say that she quit because she couldn't take the heat. Those people that doubt Sarah better learn how to stop, drop and roll because she is about to set the place on fire!

Godspeed Sarah!

Two of his big platform issues now are universal health care and your favorite issue, energy, his global-warming plan. What do you think of his positions on both?

His cap-and-trade agenda is a cap-and-tax agenda, and it's going to drive the cost of consumer goods and the cost of energy so extremely high that our nation is going to start exporting even more jobs to China and to other countries that do not have the corporate tax or the equivalent of the corporate tax that the cap-and-trade — I call it cap-and-tax — agenda is going to usher in. What he needs to be understanding is, we have the domestic supplies of energy in America. It's conventional sources — oil, gas, coal, it's nuclear — and we have the renewable sources here in America. But if we're not allowed to drill and develop those conventional sources in this transition period between now and when we can rely more on alternative sources, we're going to become more and more reliant on foreign sources of energy and importing more and more goods because they're going to be cheaper over there to produce, and our country is going to be in a world of hurt. And that, of course, has so much to do with his economic policy in thinking that it's O.K. to borrow money from other countries to fund this government largesse that he's believing in. It doesn't make any sense. We need to develop responsibly our natural resources of energy here. This will provide the jobs here, the true economic stimulus is developing our domestic, safe supplies of energy here, and Alaska is the place to look to contribute.

And health care?

And health care too. I remember certainly on the campaign trail, John McCain and his ideas — basically, bottom line, allowing businesses to afford to pay for health care, to provide health care and to give employees options, and Obama scoffed at that. His campaign thought that that was ridiculous. It's funny now to hear him kind of go to some of John McCain's ideas. John McCain had some good ideas about bolstering the economy through businesses so that families could afford to pay for health care and making sure that no one was falling through the cracks and not receiving health care. One way you do that is to reduce the corporate tax on our small businesses especially in America. You're going to see Obama increase those taxes on small businesses — whether he admits it today or not, he's going to. One thing reporters aren't asking the Administration is — it's such a simple question and people around here in the real world, outside of Washington, D.C., want reporters to ask — President Obama, how are you going to pay for this $1 [trillion] or $2 [trillion] or $3 trillion health-care plan? How are you going to pay off the stimulus package, those borrowed dollars? How are you going to pay for so many things that you are proposing and you are implementing? Americans deserve to know what the plan is to fund these things, health care included.
