Listen to Mark Levin speak exclusively with Sarah Palin on her decision:

The former Alaska Governor and VP candidate sent the following letter to her supporters on Wednesday:
October 5, 2011
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

You mean for the circus show? It is sad when "excitement" seems to be a good thing in politics... I guess it would be different if people actually gave a crap these days...

I think it is great that she didn't run. I wouldn't have voted for her. She quite her job to go on a book tour. She is polarizing and I think the GOP can do better.

GOP, give us a REAL candidate.

This is what most people think...she just quit to go make more $. While she is making more money, that isn't the sole reason for her stepping down from being the AK governor. What most people don't realize is that she was having to pay for her own legal defense in several (baseless) lawsuits from people on the far left. It was going to eventually bankrupt her, which the left would have been on like a pack of wolves. That and all the BS the left was shoveling on her was taking away from her being able to be an effective governor, so she realized it was better for the state to have someone who could focus 100% on the state, rather than having to split their time between state issues and defending every aspect of her life from the liberal attacks.

Given the options she had, I don't think it was an easy one to step down. IMO she did a heck of a job with AK before she stepped into the limelight. I can't think of another Governor who has sold their private jet in order to save the state money. I also can't think of anyone that has been attacked as much as she has by the left. They weren't even that hard on GWB. That tells me they were afraid of her. Very afraid.

She stands for what most of us do. She loves the outdoors, hunts, fishes, rides sleds/quads....I can't think of anyone who represents our interests on a national scale like she does. I understand that she may not be as educated in international relations, or have a PHD in US history. At the moment I'd rather have someone with a little common sense and our own interests at heart than the idiot we have now.

While she may not be the perfect candidate, she represents most of what I believe in. She would have gotten my vote.

I may be a little biased though...She was born in my hometown, and her father once taught a few people in my family.

Ignorance and greed? lol

We need someone that isn't going to pander to populist ideas. We need someone to tell us that the situation is screwed and it is going to be tough times for everyone for a long time.

So far I haven't heard that from anyone.. They all think there are simple / easy solutions to "fix" the problem.

If Sarah represents greed, then what does Pelosi and her ilk represent? You need to remember that the current democrats are more socialist than anything else. In fact, most republicans are farther left than the democrats of old. I agree that we need someone who is willing to drop all the BS and tell the public the way it really is. POTUS made all kinds of promises about it, but i've yet to see him follow through on much more than putting my unborn great grandchildren into debt.

Back on topic though, I'd much rather have someone in office who enjoys the same hobbies that we do. That way we might actually stall some of the land grabs and over regulation that are slowly killing our access to the backcountry. We NEED someone in office who understands where we are coming from! I am sick and tired of big city/east coast people forcing regulations and closures on areas they have never seen with their own eyes.

I was talking more about the American people than Palin...

You need to remember that the current democrats are more socialist than anything else.

got something else besides talking points? What does that even mean? How did you come to that conclusion and based on what?

IMO, They were in debt long before he took office, it just took a while for the bill to come. People need to remember that the president isn't a dictator. While he has some power, he can't just do what ever he wants. Looking at the republican debates, and thinking about all the past debates, the candidates always seem to promise all of this stuff that they are going to do, yet it never gets done, regardless of political party.

I find it odd that in the debates, all of the candidates talk about how government is the problem... but then they are all IN government...

I will agree with you if these are the only topics that the president faces. But when it comes to highly complex issues that few of us know about or care to know about (structures and regulations of derivitives, or cost structures of medicare, or history and foreign policy effects of middle east countries)... it takes more then an average joe to know what the best course of action is.

 

[motojunkie101]

In that cause, I completely agree with you on that point. lol.

got something else besides talking points? What does that even mean? How did you come to that conclusion and based on what?

I dunno...maybe the massive failed bailouts that were force fed to us as the only thing that would save the country? That money wasn't free, its going to be paid for by the next few generations. IMO it was a terrible idea. Pushed through by whom? The left. What did it fund? The Economy. When the government is keeping the economy afloat (or trying to) the businesses that take money now owe the government. Now they all have to answer to the fed when they can't make their loan payments. Anytime you have to answer to the government as a business, it sounds pretty close to socialism to me. IMO, we are currently walking a FINE line at the moment. Granted the fed isn't taking over all businesses, but its going to start somewhere.

While the left may not intend to push us to socialism, their actions are inching us closer. One day we are going to wake up and its going to be too late.

I agree, we were in debt up to our ears before...now we are at crush depth. Politics has sadly turned into a game of who is the better liar. Which is why I support SP...small town values are lost on the big stage.

I do understand that the president is only 1/3 of the fed, but he does/can hold a lot of power through executive orders.

I find it odd that in the debates, all of the candidates talk about how government is the problem... but then they are all IN government...

Agreed. Again, they'll say anything to get elected.

I will agree with you if these are the only topics that the president faces.

I firmly believe it is impossible for one person to have in depth knowlege about each facet of government. This is why they surround themselves with advisors, cabnets, committees, ect. That way they can be presented with information they don't already have. While I agree a president needs to be smart, a healthy dose of common sense would go a long way as well.

So are you calling Bush a socialist as well?

Now they all have to answer to the fed when they can't make their loan payments. Anytime you have to answer to the government as a business, it sounds pretty close to socialism to me.

I guess so, but some have paid it all back and others are getting close as well.

While the left may not intend to push us to socialism, their actions are inching us closer. One day we are going to wake up and its going to be too late.

I don't think the majority of people want the government to be socialists.. neither do I think the majority of democrats..

I do understand that the president is only 1/3 of the fed, but he does/can hold a lot of power through executive orders.

true, but I would say congress has more control over the laws in this country.. Executive orders won't repeal anything or change any current laws..

While I agree a president needs to be smart, a healthy dose of common sense would go a long way as well.

a greed... Though it would be nice if Americans had a memory longer then 2 years... if that

 

[milehighassassin]

Remember folks:
Bailout #1 = Bush

Bailout #2 = Obama

 

[motojunkie101]

So are you calling Bush a socialist as well?

I'm saying as a country we are moving closer and closer to socialism with the left leading the charge. I don't think its intentional, but its the direction I see things headed. IMO, things are currently looking farther left than they are right.

I don't think the majority of people want the government to be socialists..

I don't think anyone wants it either, but I can see it happening if we keep trying to control the economy via the government. I think it would be an unintentional happening because it wouldn't happen over night, its taking decades for the shift to happen.

I think the short term memory ties in with the instant gratification issues we have as a country.
