Of course, the baseless accusations tossed her way has cost Alaska 2 million dollars. It has also cost her $500k and she doesn't make that much. This seems to be the liberal strategy these days. Bring people to financial ruin with baseless investigations making it difficult for them to continue on. A great payment for serving the people, huh? You get out of office and you are bankrupt and out of a job. Liberals just have deep pockets and will stop at nothing to accomplish what they can't get through the voters. That's why liberals are so dishonest about their political agendas. If they ran on what they really believe they wouldn't win office.

There is no investigation that caused her to resign, the FBI has stated that already.
I was thinking the same thing, maybe she is just tired of the BS. All the bogus crap the Democrats have thrown at her, has cost her a fortune to defend against, and every one she has come out of clean just more in debt.

Where is the proof that liberals have any deeper pockets than conservatives? If anything since liberals are tree-hugging granola types, I'd argue they have less deep pockets than business-running conservatives (if you buy into those stereotypes).

Also, financial ruin of a governor based upon accusations? How about steering the DOJ to investigate a governor to have him convicted of doing things that all politicians do (political favors for those who support them during elections -- pretty much how Palin got her house built). Jail time for Palin would seem to fit the bill there, whats good enough for the goose is good for the gander, eh?

Re: Why is Sarah really quitting?

What would she do as President if someone threw some bogus crap at her? walk away and turn it over to the VP, like Nixon who did nothing wrong in the eyes of some people I know? Can't you Repubs find some smart peope to run or are you going to give us another guy you'd like to have a beer with?

Queen Palin's campaign slogan " Elect me, If the going gets tough, I'll quit"
And "Vote for me, or I'll turn the lawyer lose on you"

Well, I would agree with you, however Sarah Palin is an adult. She chose her course, and failed. Don't think for one minute that she would sympathise with someone's misfortunes on the left. She knows nothing about Barack Obama but rather than show respect for someone out to do the right thing, she chose to as much as call him a liar and tell the entire world that he was wrong for the US and thereby wrong for the world: Sarah Palin is White Trash in the strictest sense and she deserves exactly what she's getting.

She's a fake.

She has quit almost everything she has done. It might be fear of failure, but what she doesnt realize is that quitting is failure.

Palin has a pattern of quitting :



Celtic Diva's Blue Oasis...

Wonkette /

In the middle of this monster Palin Chaos Theory post, commenter-person Alaska Girl reminds us why Sarah Palin’s latest “I’m gonna take my ball and go home” move is standard Wasilla Snowbilly behavior: “She didn’t finish her term as mayor, stepping down to run for Lt. Governor. She didn’t finish her term on the petroleum board ethics panel, she resigned in protest and then ran for Governor.



However, before that, Sarah Palin left the Wasilla City Council only one year into her second three-year term in order to take the Mayor's job.

And, if you go all the way back, it took her five years and five colleges to get a Journalism degree.

Quitting before the job is done is Her modus operendi.

Re: Why is Sarah really quitting?

For Sarah's sake, and those of her family, I sincerely hope that she just goes away. She has done nothing for the Repubilican party. She has done nothing for the American political system and she has done even less for the cause of women in politics.
