OlderSarah Palin: The Farewell Speech
Sarah Palin officially steps down as governor of Alaska as she issues a farewell speech on Sunday (July 26) in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Right before Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell was sworn in as governor, the 45-year-old former Republican VP candidate said she was resigning “to chart a new course to advance the state”
Palin continued, “Now people who know me, they know how much I love this state … I feel it is my duty to avoid the unproductive, typical, politics-as-usual, lame-duck session in one’s last year in office. With this decision, now I will be able to fight even harder for you, for what is right and for the truth. And I have never felt you need a title to do that… I promised to steadfastly and doggedly guard the interests of this state as that grizzly guards her cubs…and I will keep that vow wherever that road may lead.”
“Our new governor has a very nice family too,” Palin added. “So leave his kids alone!”

Good she is gone, Alaska will be better. Maybe she will fade a way and we can hope she doesn’t run.
Good for Sarah!!! She cares more about her state and her family than politics as usual. Sarah now a private citizen and can SPEAK UP without having to be politically correct.
I think its for the best. My uncle lives in alaska and he says she was a great governor. But the media was tearing her family apart. and it was awfully mean. If anyone ripped into the obama family they would be ridiculed by everyone! so everyone needs to layoff and give her family space.
Unfortunately she doesn’t plan to go away. She has no chance at a Presidential run anyway as she has proven herself to be a quitter, leaving 18 months before her term as Governor is over. She must have $tar$ in her eyes.
She was truly a great governor.
luv her! go Sarah, Texans 4 Republicans!
FAME *****!!!!!!!!!!!!
The resignation ceremony itself was dignified yet highly emotional.

Unfortunately the negative media attention that Palin complains so much about is a direct consequence of wanting to give the government more allowance to police people’s personal and moral decisions so they are inline with her conservative agenda and yet her family is a MESS. It’s all too hypocritical. If you cannot maintain your own household, who are you to anyone else how to maintain his?
She is going to the private sector to make money because her political career is over. If she cannot handle the scrutiny of being governor of Alaska, then how will she handle the GLOBAL scrutiny that the president is under?
Yay!!! Good riddance!!
Good riddance. The good folks of Alaska will prosper.
The scarey part is that she isnt gone for good.

@Dianne: PS. A GREAT governor would not abandon her constituents. That’s what a coward does.
Former Gov. Palin is a political superstar. She is now free to soar and she is going to be a major player in politics now for many years to come. The Democrats know this, which is why they have tried to destroy her…they fear her. There is a reason for that…All her critics will soon be eating their words.
heard it on the radio a couple hours ago. good that’s over with. when’s her book coming out?
she will be vindicated
her time will come
Obummer ‘s popularity is now sinking FAST
GO PALIN
Good luck to her its not really Goodbye
She blames the media cuz she could not answer katie courics questions and. Although she is a very ambitious just take care of stupid little trig show bristol to clean her mouth since she always looks like she has hamburger breath, and for ur hillbilly husband to not pull a **** cheney hunting accident, as for sarah continue keeping an eye on russia since u can see it from your house. Oh and to the sarah palin followers I can truly say r u freekin kidding me. fall in line sheep!
EWWWWW GO AWAY YOU STUPID *****.
Thought her speech was terrific. Whether she becomes the nominee or not, she will fire up the conservative base like no other.
Real American story, girl who actually worked her way through college, beauty pageant included, no affirmative action needed. No rich relative, regular citizen who wasn’t part of the club. Wants to make a difference and does! Plain talk, tell it like it is.
Sarah is FREE to roam, first speech August 8 at the Ronald Reagan Library!
YESS! ditto the Good riddence. I hope she get lost and don’t show up no where.
this woman needs to go away- she is as crooked as a day is long summertime in Alaska. She is looking for fame and I can’t stand her! May a moose shoot her!
Rambling Rose was not making any sense again.
Now she can gaze at Russia from her home and perhaps advise the republican candidate on foreign policy!!
@not me:
if you had a ounce of education you would know Alaska is vital to national security. Palin actually works closely with military. Decision to resign came after visiting troops in Iraq. Laugh all you want, Sarah doesn’t need labor unions and race mongers on buses to draw a crowd. People don’t have to get on a bus and be “paid” to go see Sarah.
