Sarah Palin Congratulates America

The message on Sarah Palin’s Facebook page is simple: “Congratulations, America! And thank you, voters!”

It’s followed by this:

Sounds a lot like a campaign speech, doesn’t it?

    Say what you will about Jimmy Carter, but it would be a gross misrepresentation to suggest that he was is an elitist, so your claim that Palin would be the first non-elitist president is just plain silly. Now, that begs the question: do you want another Jimmy Carter?

    While I wouldn’t normally respond to you, there are new people who may not know your intent so…

    Silly…Hummm…..now granted those times are much different than they are now, still…Carter grew up on a large southern plantation and according to his museum, “the Carters were one of the most prosperous families in the community” and their farm grew into the largest peanut farmers in the region with “4,000 acres, worked by mostly black tenant farmers” – so his family owned slaves and according to my history lessons that means he was one of the southern elites. Carter also graduated from the Naval Academy! Now contrast that with…Sarah Palin – family of teachers and guidance counselors (and because I am a teacher, I know they were not rich!) and she graduated from the University of Idaho. The only reason she is making money now is because of the media and I, like many others, love it! And to the part about wanting another Carter…you just hope she is as you are so worried about her winning..lol…does my heart good so keep it up!

      Yes! Those elite farmers! And Naval officers! Carter’s father was a farmer and a businessman who built himself up to become a prominent member of their community in rural Georgia. Is it just me, or is that something most Tea Party-ers would celebrate?

      Some of you folks just don’t even know who you hate anymore, do you? You attack someone and label them elite because they were a farmer who served their country in the Navy? By the way, you forgot to mention that President Carter’s mother was a registered nurse–clearly one of those spoiled southern belles!

      By the way, according to MY knowledge of history, in 1924, when Carter was born, there were no slaves. I think you missed the heyday of the plantation elite by around 130 years. But thanks for playing!

      I‘m glad you don’t own slaves Dimmuborgir. Neither did Jimmy Carter! Somehow though, I doubt that you were ever really crippled by white guilt. Does this mean that society should ignore the lasting social and economic consequences of slavery, the failure of Reconstruction, Lynch law and Jim Crow? No, but that’s a whole other argument. My point was that Jimmy Carter was not some “Gone with the Wind” style plantation elite. Just had to correct some faulty history (happens a lot here).

    Sarah Palin has been in executive level politics for almost 20 years.
    Some of Sarah’s accomplishments.

    In Alaska, Sarah’s top priorities included fiscal restraint, limiting the size of government, resource development, education, equitable oil valuation as well as transportation and infrastructure development. Sarah Palin fought for ethics reform and transparency in government.

    Sarah Palin has a long record of achievement and experience in public office.Prior her election as Governor, Palin served two terms on the Wasilla City Council and two terms as the mayor of Wasilla. During her tenure, she reduced property tax levels while increasing services and made Wasilla a business-friendly environment, drawing in new industry.

    Under her leadership as Governor, Alaska invested $5 billion in state savings, overhauled education funding and protected Alaska’s natural resources. She created Alaska’s Petroleum Systems Integrity Office to provide oversight and maintenance of oil and gas equipment, facilities and infrastructure and the Climate Change Subcabinet to prepare a climate change strategy for Alaska.

    During Governor Palin’s first year in office, three of her administrations major proposed pieces of legislation passed—an overhaul of the state’s ethics laws, a competitive process to construct a natural gas pipeline and a restructuring of Alaska’s oil valuation formula.

    Governor Palin’s “business experience” comes with the negotiations and dealings she has had with one of the most powerful industries in the world: the energy industry. This includes the negotiations on what will be the largest private infrastructure project in North American history. Governor Palin has successfully negotiated new tax structures, lease deals and other issues that arise in the Alaska energy industry.
    At the end of the day, Governor Palin negotiated billion dollar deals with one of the toughest industries in the world.

    Sarah Palin is past chair of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission, a multistate government agency that promotes the conservation and efficient recovery of domestic oil and natural gas resources while protecting health, safety and the environment. She also served as chair of the National Governors Association (NGA) Natural Resources Committee, which was charged with pursuing legislation to ensure state needs are considered as federal policy is formulated in the areas of agriculture, energy, environmental protection and natural resource management.

    Sarah Palin’s successful efforts to stop the cronyism and reform the energy business in Alaska were so impressive Kay Cashman, the publisher and executive editor of Petroleum News, wrote the book entitled: “Sarah Takes On Big Oil” .
    This is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the leadership Sarah Palin has exhibited in the area of reforming government and industry!!

    While Governor Palin has a history of being a reformer and taking on powerful interests for the benefit of ordinary people, Obama’s history is that of a tool of special interests, be they unions, trial lawyers, ACORN, or Wall Street.

      @PubliusPencilman

      Sarah didn’t “quit”; she reloaded in order to fight for what is right on a fairer battlefield.
      She promised to keep the frivolous anti-Palin law suits away from the Alaskan people ( saving tax money and time) and to be more effective on the stump ( supporting candidates , fundraising, etc)
      Sarah Palin was truthful on both accounts

      In an article Sarah Palin said:
      “I said, ‘Enough. Political adversaries and their political friends in the media will not destroy my State, my administration, nor my family. Enough.’ I knew if I didn’t play their game any longer, they could not win. I would not retreat, I would instead reload, and I would fight for what is right from a different plane.”

      Sarah Palin resigned because she recognized the cost that the frivolous ethics complaints were having on her state , and she saw how much of her staff’s time and her own time were forced to deal with those issues. She wasn’t able to effectively fulfill her role as Governor, so she passed the reins onto someone who didn’t have to be concerned that if he sneezed in the Lower 48, an ethics complaint would be thrown at him.
      Sarah Palin’s entire administration was paralyzed by those frivolous complaints, only an idiot wouldn’t be able to see or admit that.

      She saw that if she stayed on as Governor it would continue to cost the state millions of dollars in wasted time and resources to defend against false and maliciously ethics complaints and doom it to gridlock.
      Sarah had to step down for the better of her state and it was the honorable thing to do.
      She promised that she would “effect positive change outside of Government”, and she has most definitely done that.
      Sarah has been able to speak more boldly for both Alaska and all Americans for the conservative principles this country was founded on now that she is outside of office and without the concern of a possible ethics violation been thrown at her.

      Sarah Palin told us all why she resigned when she resigned. If some people still don’t get it, well, that’s their problem

      Again, Governor Palin stepped down for the right reasons—she did not want to see her state government continue to get bogged down with inane “ethics” complaints that were transparently political, plainly partisan, and diverting state resources.

      She saw that if she stayed on as Governor it would cost the state millions of dollars in wasted time and resources to defend against false and maliciously ethics complaints and doom it to gridlock. She knew that it would also continue to cost the state hundreds of thousands of dollars to defend against false and maliciously filed ethics complaints.

      Palin’s entire administration was paralyzed by those frivolous complaints, only an idiot wouldn’t be able to see or admit that.
      She stepped aside so that Alaska could concentrate on important things like governing in the midst of an economic crisis.

      PUBLIUSPENCILMAN: She DIDN’T quit because she was selfish, she left because she was selfless (big difference)

      Your point is betting boring……

      Sarah Palin was Governor of Alaska for 2 1/2 years (including 3 legislative sessions ; there are 4 legislative sessions) before she was forced to RESIGN due to frivolous ethics complaints, the prospect of facing personal bankruptcy, and the fact that her state could not be governed effectively anymore due to the amount of time her administration was spending in fighting the ethics complaints. All of this thanks to her opponents trying to destroy her personally and politically.
      Sarah was the target. She knew that in order to protect the state from any futher damage, she had to step aside.
      Sarah didn’t “quit”; she reloaded in order to fight for what is right on a fairer battlefield.
      She promised to keep the frivolous anti-Palin law suits away from the Alaskan people ( saving tax money and time) and to be more effective on the stump ( supporting candidates , fundraising, etc)

    Whether it is a campaign speech or not, Sarah is a very large reason for the success of this last election and I think she deserves the credit for it, as well as our deep gratitude. She was invaluable in getting people motivated and helping stir interest again in what many people saw as dirty business, politics. Now we can all feel good about it again, and she deserves credit for that.

      She laid the ground work for the change. She is visionary even though the MSM depicts her as a dunce. Let them keep it up while she can look at every image in this video that proves real change. Love Sarah because she is so much like me and mine.

      One reason why so many people either like or hate Palin, and I like her, is she still is a real, down to earth American who tries to live and do her ideals, and beliefs. She honestly cares about the great country of ours, and is keeping the hope alive in the land – as is Beck, and each member of our land who works to make change happen at all levels (family, block, city, county, etc…)

      May America not waste this chance to save our land, and with God guiding us from above we will be free of the Progressives and get our country turned about. It will take time and not be easy, yet nothing truly worth achieving is.

      Yep, Palin is a down-to-earth real American! That’s why she up and quit the office that the Alaskan people entrusted her with, so she could come down to the 48 and be a reality show star, Fox News commentator, and gazillion-dollar-a-day speaker.

      I mean really SnowLeopard… do you ever stop for a second and think about what you are saying? Regardless of how one feels about the Tea Party, it is pretty obvious that Sarah Palin, no matter how much fake piety and patriotism she piles on, has nothing to do with the values of the so-called “real” Americans she patronizes.

      @PUBLIUS

      I have to disagree wth you on that one. You are making the same mistake the dems made when they underestimated (greatly) what the people really want, and Sarah was instrumental in bringing everyone together to fight the dems at their own game. If they didn’t believe in her and her message there probably would not have been the grass roots movement that has become a sensation. You can’t speak for everyone else because you disagree with her. And, regarding her “quitting” on the people of Alaska, since she was in a lame duck position for her final two years, and considering what she has done for conservatives everywhere since she left, I would say she did the right thing. but that’s just me.

      One of the reasons she quit was all the media hammering was interfering with her ability to do her job. Every move she or her daughters made was turned into a spectacle, she left the governorship in able hands. I don’t blame her and in fact I thank her for coming out of Alaska and bringing hope for a brighter day to us all.

      John,
      The last time I checked, public officials are not elected to office in this country for a specified term or “until it gets difficult.“ I also suggest you look up the term ”lame duck”; Palin decided not to run for re-election and had almost half of her term yet to serve when she quit. I, for one, would prefer my public servants to be more than a “sensation” and a talking head in the media. Perhaps this is where we disagree. We can certainly argue over whether Palin has been bad or good for conservatives (let’s call up Joe Miller and ask him!), but I think your argument–that the ends justify the means–seems to run counter to all this talk about her principles and beliefs.

      I guess the folks that are still asleep will probably stay that way. We all need to do what we can to stem the commie tide and Sarah is doing her part, we need to do more. People can say whatever they want but the fact is, all publicity on these issues are good. Go Sarah, we got your back.

      That’s a good idea; call Joe Miller and ask him what he thinks of Sarah Palin. If not for her no one outside of his district would even know his name, and he did manage to beat a very established and popular Murkowski in the primary with Palin’s help. It was only a very successful last minute push from the Murkowski supporters that enabled her to win. Also, I want to make it clear that I DO NOT suggest that the ends justify the means because I, too, think politicians should serve the full terms they were elected to serve. However, how can you not support her decision (whether you like her or not) after what she and her family were subjected too, and with the pleading of her millions of supporters to help the party when the party was in such dire straights? I, for one, will not hold that against her.

      I would do a cartwheel is the President agreed that his policies are bad for America and step down. Then I would do two more if Joe Biden skipped being sworn in and turned the reigns over to soon to be Speaker Boehner.
      As an Alaskan, I would have loved to see her finish her term because of what she was doing for this state (giving my family an extra $1200 to help pay the outrageous heating fuel bills), but unfortunately, the far left attack machine wouldn’t allow her the time to do her job. Did you know she had to go through an investigation for wearing a coat with the name of her husband’s Irondog sponsor on it? Please tell me why the complaint was even filed? She was supporting her husband in a race and the local media (also covering the race) flocked to her because of who she is. She was not conducting business yet was accused of misusing her office for personal gain. Then she is forced to take a month off to defend herself against this petty charge. This is just one of about 13 that were filed. In all, she was guilty of claiming too much on her travel vouchers (although another person approved the voucher for payment), which she immediately paid back. She did the right thing to quit because she knew the far left attack machine wouldn’t quit and it was preventing her from continuing the fight for our state.
      Another aspect of this is that she had someone ready and able to take over and get things done. By doing so, he was just elected as governor with about 70% of the vote. I wonder if anyone will say anything negative about Nancy Pelosi quitting (wishful thinking?) a couple of months after winning an election. My money says it won’t be mentioned once.
      Just my thoughts!

      I no longer care about how well spoken politicians are or how they are painted in the news…I believe in Palin for one reason and one reason only. She is an HONEST woman, despite unrelenting opposition she has yet to stray from her original message and core beliefs. Palin believes in you and I and that holds a tremendous amount of weight in my eyes.

Palin is not my first choice but she is using Obama’s tactics against him and with a Hell of alot of style. No my fellow Patriots Please take a look at Herman Cain, can you see it now a real conservative a real Black man running for President can you see the State Run Media trying to use their racist crap with that one. http://www.weeklyrepublic.com
