Wasilla,
Alaska
After much prayer and serious consideration, I have decided that I will not be seeking the 2012 GOP nomination for President of the United States. As always, my family comes first and obviously Todd and I put great consideration into family life before making this decision. When we serve, we devote ourselves to God, family and country. My decision maintains this order.
My decision is based upon a review of what common sense Conservatives and Independents have accomplished, especially over the last year. I believe that at this time I can be more effective in a decisive role to help elect other true public servants to office – from the nation’s governors to Congressional seats and the Presidency. We need to continue to actively and aggressively help those who will stop the “fundamental transformation” of our nation and instead seek the restoration of our greatness, our goodness and our constitutional republic based on the rule of law.
From the bottom of my heart I thank those who have supported me and defended my record throughout the years, and encouraged me to run for President. Know that by working together we can bring this country back – and as I’ve always said, one doesn’t need a title to help do it.
I will continue driving the discussion for freedom and free markets, including in the race for President where our candidates must embrace immediate action toward energy independence through domestic resource developments of conventional energy sources, along with renewables. We must reduce tax burdens and onerous regulations that kill American industry, and our candidates must always push to minimize government to strengthen the economy and allow the private sector to create jobs.
Those will be our priorities so Americans can be confident that a smaller, smarter government that is truly of the people, by the people, and for the people can better serve this most exceptional nation.
In the coming weeks I will help coordinate strategies to assist in replacing the President, re-taking the Senate, and maintaining the House.
Thank you again for all your support. Let’s unite to restore this country!
God bless America.
– Sarah Palin

So the left’s cowardly offensive has worked.

Yeah, she’s a mirror to their own inadequacies hence the hatred.
The political class, ie. RepDem Inc are very happy, business as usual wins.
Still, if budding US politicians could resist the temptation to do the hand waving evangelical rapture rubbish in public they’d be doing themselves a favour.
Romney will not be seen doing any public displays of Mormonism, smart Romney.

Alas RedBaiter, it will be four more years before we get to see this.

Like you, I feel the left have won this battle, though hopefully not the war.
Let us hope Sarah Palin will be king or queenmaker for the Republican nomination.
She rallies her troops and the Mamma Grizzlies can still put a decent non-RINO Republican in the White House.

A lot of people will be disappointed Fairfax, but who could really blame her. Who would want the job with the problems on the horizon?
OK, its over to Herman now. 🙂

Palin is smart. She knows that the attack on her by the liberal media will be relentless both during campaining and if she ever made the WH. They would ensure that she’d be a lame-duck President.
Although I feel she is the answer to America’s problems, maybe by staying out of the race, and the media’s sights, she’ll have more influence on taking America back.

Romney will lose against Obama. He won’t get the votes. That’s why he’s the left’s choice.

Disagree Red….Oby will be reduced to the ethnics plus the public service left.
The economy gets worse, there’s no way out, and Fast and Furious will yet get Holder.
The only way to resurrection for the US is if it takes its manufacturing industry back from China to employ America, that means a trade war…….where the US has nothing to lose except cheap shirts.

If it’s Romney, conservatives will stay home in droves. He may win a large percentage of the independents but that may not be enough.

Well, I have warmed to Paul Ryan and I must read more on Herman Cain who seems to have potential. I guess the Republicans are lucky in that they have many potential candidates for 2012 and 2016, whereas the Donks just have the Obamination and Shrillary.
With the way things are going all the leftist smears could not have halted a kitten-killing Sarah Palin.
Glad you like the pics at my place red.
Jared, I though the virus issues had been solved, but thanks for letting me know. I don’t know what to do about them or know how they got there. I will have a word with Zentiger.

Fairfacts, after your optimistic support of David Cameron during the last UK elections, anything you say concerning politics has to be taken with a pinch of salt!
(although to give you your due, at least you’re not like Adolf over at No Minister, still refusing to see the truth about Key and the gang)

“The US cannot win a trade war against China.”
That’s by no means certain–China has severe structural problems right now. Try reading Ambrose Evans-Pritchard sometime Sinner.

From Gates of Vienna:
“The economic crisis in China is rapidly worsening. Real estate prices are down, and a collapse of the property bubble seems imminent. The banking sector is holding a lot of bad debt, and as a result a credit crunch has begun. The unavailability of credit has forced a number of small- and medium-sized businesses into bankruptcy, and more failures are expected.”
China isn’t quite the powerhouse people think–it’s built on some very shaky foundations.

I’ve made the gross error of judgement of looking over some of the discussion threads at various other places (the stuff,co.nz page on FB, the Palin post at New Zealand’s Premier Right Wing Blog), and have come to the conclusion that Palin Derangement Syndrome is not just a real affliction, but highly contagious in a socialist country such as New Zealand. Many of the commenters there clearly get their information from trusted sources such as MSNBC and the New York Times.
And the more I read, the truer Ann Coulter’s commentary becomes – every Republican for 100 years whom Liberals are terrified of, they label “stupid”.
I have often wondered how someone with integrity and principles would get on in New Zealand politics, and I now know. What a sad indictment.
