Palin Blasts Critics, Remains Mum on 2012 Bid - Political News - FOXNews.com

She has been criticized by even those on Fox news for being unclear on her reasoning…really?  Looks like she is being pretty clear to me.  This is the interview with her without the talking head commentary, or the media telling us what she said as if what she said was not plain.  I think this supports Joel’s post nicely.  It is pretty darn plain to me, what I said before is what she is going to do, she is going to use her high profile to do exactly what we, the bloggers, are doing.  Then if the opportunity presents itself (please please please) she will run.

…

"The critics want to put you on a course of personal bankruptcy, so you can't afford to serve," she said, calling the attacks "bull crap."

…

"Average, hard-working Americans need to be able to get out there, unrestrained, and fight for what is right," she said. "Fight for energy independence and national security, fight for a smaller government instead of this big government overgrowth that Obama is ushering in."

"Obsessive partisanship" has hurt the [Republican] party, she said, striking a more independent beat than the partisan tune she sang on the campaign trail.

"We have so many people who offer advice, but I'm going to continue to be, whether some of them like it or not, pretty darn independent, and not get wrapped up into a strong political machine that hasn't been extremely successful in some ways."

…

"Most candidates, most public officials get to look into a camera and say, 'you better leave your hands off my kids,'" she said. "Well I haven't been able to say that. And that double standard that's been applied, that's been a little bit frustrating."

…

"I want to work, right now, for people who are going to work either in office or out of office for the right things. Those principles that build up America, those who are inspired by the values of America, and will not deride or apologize for the values we hold as Americans."

This shows how far the media, even Fox, has insulated themselves into a bubble that separates them from real America. I too understood her comments perfectly. She said, it is better for Alaska and for her to move on. She will look at all her options, and see what comes up. It's not like she will be living under a bridge for the next 2 years. This also gives her the opportunity to say and do all the things to counter her attackers that she could not as Governor of Alaska. Remember, Alaska is not Texas or Chicago. Running that state may as well be running Tibet because there is no real news coming out of Alaska. Also, the LT Gov taking her place knows more about the energy issue than she does so it's not like she is leaving Joe Biden in charge. Fox is mad because they expected details. The rest of the liberal media is furious because Palin just got out of jail and now those attacks will become politically dangerous as Palin can now respond and also sue for defamation. Does MSNBC really want to swim the the 'Cuda???

KOOK, in a case like this where your post compliments mine, I would not care if you added your post to mine. I think these two would go very well together. As Nameless Cynic pointed out on his blog, I am only a co-host here. (I straightened him out, since Climate and Weather are kinda my area to do just as the structure of the blog is yours.) It almost sounded like he was trying to insult me by saying I "only" co-host a blog. Well, I'd rather co-host this one than be host of his. That was only an insult if he was trying to insult me.

You contribute as much to this blog as I do. Many of your posts are more popular than mine. As far as I am concerned this is a partnership

I know, but NC on his blog seemed to be hinting that what I do here is somehow less than what he does because I co-host this blog. It does not bother me. I thought you would find it humorous. My Christian faith has taught me that ego is for people that think they need to prove something. I am not trying to be better than anyone. I offered that person a post here to make any Global Warming point they want. My only rule is that they do not go through my posts and try to debunk them. All his work would have to be original. I have yet to hear from him.

Then there was bit about spending 80% of her time defending attacks instead of doing the work of the people. They say she's unclear about why she walked away, but she made it pretty clear that others were making it impossible to do the job the way it needed to be done, and the way the people deserved. She made it quite clear she was stepping aside so no more of the people's time and, most importantly, the people's money was wasted on the defense of malicios attacks. Does it really get much clearer than that.

They think it's unclear because it wasn't draped in fancy political rhetoric. The absence of which makes her so popular. Sarah "no bullshit" baracuda!

The problem is, as Gov, Palin was very restricted as to what she could do in response to those attacks. She could not respond in kind since the state pays for her defense. She could not look into the sources of those attacks because they were from out of state. She was also smart enough to figure out that those attacks would not stop and would intensify leading into 2010. The liberal media is simply furious because their pinata has gotten away. Fox wanted details as to Palin's intentions (possibly having offered her a top job) and Palin would not tell them what they wanted to hear. The job part is totally speculation on my part by the way.

Did you guys catch my post about the Huffington Post's bit on Sarah? No wonder she stepped out the gov's mansion. They bash her 'cuz they're scared. They know she's got a LOT of Americans pulling for her!

I understood everything Sarah Said! The media is clueless, and they are just mad they won't have her to kick around in office anymore, like you said Joel, now she can sue them. I think she knows exactly what she is doing, and will come out of this even stronger! Kook, I luv that Killah from Wasilla! Joel, the Pinata has gotten Away! You Betcha l-)

Here is an update guys on the Post from Bunni you did the other day, __I was reading twitter and I got a Direct Message from Mr. Masters,__Aarons Father: "Thank you for honoring Aaron's sacrifice, and the sacrifices that have been (and will be) made by others."__Then I saw that Sarah Palin Did a Tweet about Aaron and the other Soldier who Passed Away: AKGovSarahPalin "I am so sorry for our country's loss. See http://tinyurl.com/knyz8r"__I Messaged Aarons Father back asking if he had seen this, and provided the link, __Well, I'm glad I passed this tweet along to Mr. Masters, __because he had NOT seen it!__He was very happy and wrote me back: "Oh, ... thanks for the update. We haven't had the TV or radio on since we got the news. It's nice to get updates, like this. Bless you!"____So dear Readers, we are making a difference, and people are taking notice of these brave hero's. They are the ones who should be filling stadiums with Memorial Services, not washed up, drug addled pedophiles who didn't have a heroic moment in their sorry lives. Bye, Amusing Bunni

Thanks, its folks like you that make this blog worth doing. KOOK and I put alot of time and research and thinking, as well as studying other blogs to put this together. If we didn't have the rest of you from the smallest blogs to the 912 project, we would burn out very quickly. It is not easy, especially if you try like I do to answer almost every comment. Getting to repost something like yours makes the reward worth every minute and all the neurological strain it puts on me.

Don't think that I have forgotten when we did a post and 3 comments was huge. Now our posts average 10 or more, but even with so many more people here, each of you matters just as much as anyone else. Now, with a group of people that matter, we are beginning to have an impact. If you take all these blogs individually and lump them together as I do in what's left of a mind, and think of them as one big family, we are a fairly big group and growing everyday.
