Sarah Palin says ‘I quit!’

- | P2P |  Politics:- “Let me go back to a comfortable analogy for me – sports… basketball. I use it because you’re naïve if you don’t see the national full-court press picking away right now: A good point guard drives through a full court press, protecting the ball, keeping her eye on the basket… and she knows exactly when to pass the ball so that the team can WIN. And I’m doing that – keeping our eye on the ball that represents sound priorities – smaller government, energy independence, national security, freedom! And I know when it’s time to pass the ball – for victory.” Thus spaketh one-time hopeful, but not entirely successful, vice-president of America candidate Sarah Palin on her decision to pack it in as governor of Alaska. Does that means she’ll go for The Job in 2012? In her executive column on the Alaska state web page , “I do not want to disappoint anyone with my decision,” she says — “all I can ask is that you TRUST me with this decision – but it’s no more ‘politics as usual’. ” But she also says, portentously or ominously, depending on your point of view,”I am taking my fight for what’s right – for Alaska – in a new direction”. She goes on »»» Some Alaskans don’t mind wasting public dollars and state time. I do. I cannot stand here as your Governor and allow millions upon millions of our dollars go to waste just so I can hold the title of Governor. And my children won’t allow it either. ? Some will question the timing. ? Let’s just say, this decision has been in the works for awhile… 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. My decision was also fortified during this most recent trip to Kosovo and Landstuhl, to visit our wounded soldiers overseas, those who sacrifice themselves in war for OUR freedom and security… we can ALL learn from our selfless Troops… they’re bold, they don’t give up, they take a stand and know that LIFE is short so they choose to NOT waste time. They choose to be productive and to serve something greater than SELF… and to build up their families, their states, our country. These Troops and their important missions – those are truly the worthy causes in this world and should be the public priority with time and resources and NOT this local / superficial wasteful political bloodsport. “May we ALL learn from them! *((Gotta put First Things First))*” - she adds. Right. Stay tuned, America. - . More Alaska state web page - Palin Announces No Second Term, July - - | | rss feed: http://-/p2p.rss | | Mobile - http://-/index-wml.php -? -
