Well if rumors are true and she is starting to mount a bid for the 2012 election, heaven help us!
She needs to have her political membership card rescinded!

- interesting.
Here's a link to an article on CNN.com: link here. I know I'm just a foreign observer, and I don't really know anything about the US political system, but is it possible that she's doing this to get a 'clean slate' in another State so she's ready for the next presidential race? IMO, she'll need a ton of help if she's really planning to run against Obama in '12. Michael |

I think the reason may be that the other shoe is about to drop (aka some other ethics violation or other negative thing is going to be brought out into the
open). I just can't see how she can possibly think she could actually win a vote for President or even the nomination.

If she is going to run for President, she should have finished her term as Governor.Who wants a President that's a quitter?

LawLess First thought that crossed my mind. She took office in Dec. 2006 on her ethics reform platform and her term ends in Dec. 2010. Now she's out of there by the end of this month and the stats will record it as her leaving office 18 months shy of completing her first term. But she's a good BS talker for an audience that loves what she puts out so I'm not sure that'll stick on her. She indicated concern for her family, personal debt of $500,000 stemming from defending against frivolous ethics charges which while costly for her to defend cost her opponents zero to make. Known ethics charges against her are: 1. July 28, 2008: Alaska lawmakers launched an investigation into whether Gov. Sarah Palin abused her power when she fired Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan over his refusal to let go a state trooper involved in a contentious divorce with Palin's sister. Stephen Branchflower, a special counsel leading the investigation, concluded Oct. 10 that Palin violated a state ethics law that prohibits public officials from using their office for personal gain. The firing itself was deemed lawful since Monegan was an at-will employee. Given the recent demonstrations of the power of raising money on the internet not sure if her day job isn't holding her back. Can't say if the Republican Party is as much confused about her resignation as it is concerned about a loose-canon hijacking its "heartland" base of "real Americans." After you watch <<<the FBI tape>>> of bribery-convicted Alaskan Republican legislator Vic Kohring (talking to some oil industry "friends") you can understand how tough it is in Alaska to have even a small say $16,000 debt while on a state government $100,000/year legislators paycheck. I understand Palin recently took in like $100,000 over a weekend on her website to help pay her legal bills. Her Gov. day job pays her $125,000/year, before you subtract say $600,000 in related recent legal costs and such. I would imagine that the day after she leaves office she can have conversations with oil industry "friends" or whatever other "friends" and tape them herself and put them on YouTube herself since not being in office and not officially running for President yet...I suspect she'll be FREE to do whatever she bloody wants.

And the mess was NOT done by our present President, but the mess was brought on of 8 yrs of a "Lame Duck" called Bush!! He did diddly squat when we had bad situations that happened (9/11 and New Orleans etc...) and I'm sure he went blind when these "big boys" did the dirty deed (raised gas prices etc) which brought on this financial mess in which our present President is trying to fix! Get your facts straight!! I guess you turned a blind eye to what happened these past eight years with that 'LAME' DUCK WE HAD!
GO USA!!!!

listen. i wish you would read though the !%!% i'm shooting before you respond. i said he's doing the same crap to the economy that caused it to go bad, which is more spending.Temper temper! Economically, he is trying to stimulate the economy and he is trying to weed out those who had become SOOOOOOOO greedy
in making money which was going on with the previous Administration. If you understood the economic way of things and took a step back to see how this work;
you wouldn't be cursing at other people's opinion. That's the problem, people don't stop and listen and look at the big picture!! Too busy
swearing their mouth out and showing what curses they know! duh..
GO USA!!!!

Looking after citizens of your country through healthcare and other national initiatives is not a road to nazism - unless of course you are implying Canada, Australia, New Zealand, England and every other damned country out there are nazi's, and if so... well, you really have a lot of learn about the world. |

Thanks for the pep-talk... although I have to admit to being someone already, in a country where we do have nationalised healthcare and welfare and... surprise
surprise - we aren't nazi's.
Can you believe it? Or maybe we are nazi's and we don't know it? Yes, that must be it. We have the inability to see that nazism in our country because we are so drunk on the kool aid. Perhaps I should watch more Fox News to be educated on what a democracy is and learn all about the dangers of socialism. Yes, that's what I will do... before I poke my eyes out with a spork and shove gum in my ears to get the nattering of the fear mongers out of my ears. |

That's why I didn't bother answering Piper b/c truly she believes in the proganda that Limberger and his cronies are spewing to simple minded people.
It's a shame..a real shame
OMgs. Nazism If only some people would really read their history, not only American History, but
Western Civilization History etc... What Limberger and his cronies are doing is spewing false claims & proganda about a "REFORM" Medical plan
(not what you claim), is basically what Hitler used in hard times for the people of Germany.
So I'm not wasting my time anymore with her.. but I'll read your comments Deev Love it! LOL
GO USA!!!!
