On TV last night, Sean Hannity gave a sneak peek of the new Sarah Palin documentary that details her time in Alaska and her political career. It’s called “The Undefeated,” and it’s set to premiere in Iowa in June. That’s important because the time and place of release has many speculating it could kick of a 2012 presidential run.
The clip from Hannity isn’t necessarily ground-breaking. It shows how she took on some of the big oil companies in Alaska. But even though there aren’t fireworks, it does offer a glimpse into the tone of the film, which appears to be a defense of her political career. It’s the type of tone she would need to set if she plans on running for president.

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 10:48amSarah Palin has been in executive level politics for many 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 s

And as for Powell, he didn’t jump ship because of Palin, he jumoped ship to vote for a black guy and just used Palin as his excuse because he was embarassed to admit it. How else do you explain his saying that he couldn’t vote for McCain whom he claimed had a ton of experience because he thought Palin was unqualified. Like Obama was qualified?! Give me a break.

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 10:39amPalin scares both the left and the right for a simple reason. She’s just a regular American with a bunch of executive public experience. So that means she is not a sophisticated attorney who manipulates the political machine and speaks in terms that are always pandering to their current audience. She makes a lot of mistakes while speaking as anyone who is just a regular person would. Why is it that those of you who try to point out her faults do not realize that every other candidate or official who has ever held public office is very flawed? The only difference is, they have learned how to cover it up with manipulative speech. Palin may or may not be able to win over the voters in 2012 but you can bet she will get a message out that should be heard. If you can pay attention to that and overlook the lack of political polish, you may understand what she is trying to say. We are all used to hearing politicians speak in a certain manner that is…official. What we need is someone who really just tells the truth and speaks in our own language. It may take us some time to realize that. Maybe not in 2012. But if we wait too much longer to learn the lesson, we may not have a country to worry about.

Executive experience?
She ran a state with a population of 700 thousand people. There are mayors that run cities bigger then her state.
She quit and bailed on Alaska. She didn’t do it for the people of Alaska. She did it for herself because she knew she could make money opening her mouth.
The people that drink her koolaid are the only ones that believe she quit her job for the better of Alaska. She is the most hated person in politics right now.

There’s a lot more to life than a high IQ. What good does it do if you offend, alienate, or exaggerate radical ideas that the populance doesn’t want? I‘m not sure Sarah is the right person but if West and Christie and Ryan won’t go, that leaves me with women, Bachman and Palin and both drive the left nuts…that, Mr. Limbaugh would say is reason enough to think we may be on the right path. He says the left always tells you who they hate and there’s a reason. Either way, She’s a scrapper and it is going to take some big bucks to buck the Chicago political machine.

John Edwards fathers a love child while his wife is losing her fight against breast cancer, then he covers the whole thing in a million dollars of dirty campaign money and he’s a foot note. Meanwhile Sarah Palin says “yeah you betcha” and MSNBC wants to hang her in the town square.

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 10:53amSarah Palin resigned to get the countless frivolous complaints against her out of the governor’s office, and the money they cost the state, away from the burden of taxpayers.
The ethics complaint investigations had cost Alaskans $2+ million dollars in 6 months. In the 3 weeks between when she announced her resignation and when she stepped down, 3 more complaints came in. At that rate, these systematic complaints would have cost Alaskans $8 million by the end of her term.
Also Gov. Palin’s entire administration was paralyzed by those frivolous complaints.
In an article Gov. 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.”
The complaints were without merit and took away from the job she wanted to do for Alaskans.
She had also fulfilled all the campaign promises she made, i.e., ethics reform, budget cutting, earmark cutting, getting the natural gas pipeline off high center through an open, transparent, and competitive process!!!
For the past two years Sarah Palin has worked tirelessly to fight Obama and his policies and elect conservatives.

She also saw that her family was not personally in debt for $500,000 for 6 months of ethics charges. AT that rate, her family would have been in debt $2 million by the end of her term.
That entire campaign of BS lawsuits was meant to do nothing but hamstring the governor’s office and bankrupt Sarah Palin.
She didn’t resign just for herself, because things got tough. She did it try to bring some semblance of fair governance back to the state, save the state the money .
By the way, she had also fulfilled all the campaign promises she made, i.e., ethics reform, budget cutting, earmark cutting, getting the natural gas pipeline off high center through an open, transparent, and competitive process!!!

It’s been a pleasure watching our life-long Alaskan gal, Sarah Palin, campaign for governor these past six months. I am impressed with her leadership skills, experience, ethics, and energy. And I’m most impressed with how she communicates her message that is connecting with so many Alaskans. Sarah tells it like it is and is obviously not your typical politician. She doesn’t just go with the flow or test the waters with political polls before taking action. It’s clear Sarah is committed to just doing the right thing, even if her Republican Party bosses try to punish her for it,”

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 10:48amAs governor, Palin demonstrated many of the qualities we expect in our best leaders. She set aside private concerns for the greater good.
She succeeded to a remarkable extent in settling, at least for a time, what had seemed insoluble problems, in the process putting Alaska on a trajectory to financial well-being.
While other states reel under staggering deficits, budget cuts, and protests, Alaska has built up a $12 billion surplus, most of it attributable to Palin’s tax. Galvin estimates that it has raised $8 billion more than Murkowski’s tax would have. But given the corruption that plagued the PPT, a better benchmark might be the tax it supplanted—the one put on the books after the Exxon Valdez spill. By that measure, Palin’s major achievement has probably meant the difference between a $12 billion surplus and a deficit…
On the big issues she left the state in better shape than most people, herself included, seem to realize or want to credit her for.
Palin’s achievement was to pull Alaska out of a dire, corrupt, enduring systemic crisis and return it to fiscal health and prosperity when many people believed that such a thing was impossible

Putting it another way, Obama is Goliath and the entire GOP field (with the exception of Herman Cain) is afraid of him. They’ve all been falling on their swords just to get away. And those that haven’t are either just boring or fatally flawed. Either way they are unelectable.
Get with it people. The left knows who their greatest threat is. This is why they attack her so mercilessly. She‘s everything Obama isn’t. She his Kryptonite.and she’ll make a wonderful president.

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 11:13amThe left doesn’t want her to run therefore I want her to run like the wind. They have already shot their load what other ammo do they have.

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 11:18amHERE ARE THE RULES: IF you have NOT read both of Sarah Palin’s book; IF you do not know her personally; IF you love AMERICA; IF you consider yourself a PATRIOT…you will NOT knock this wonderful woman.
Report Post »THINKABOUT IT….why would anyone think it’s okay to be as vitriolic against another AMERICAN ? She has been slandered, ridiculed, insulted beyond previous insults…why? ALL THE WOMEN in this country need to take notice: This is about a NON-Eastern Establishment, non MALE !!! This woman cleaned the clocks of every other politician in the country with her Acceptance Speech at the GOP Convention in 2008. CLEANED THEIR CLOCKS.
No one had ever seen a speech that good, that real, that hard hitting in years and years and maybe never. John McCain was only viable because of her and his looney staff knew it…and tried to stop her (can you cay Nicolle Wallace?) with bogus interviews with the NOW DEFUNCT Katie Couric.
Finally: It’s been PROVEN that one woman basically in Alaska was the one who filed 99% of those “law suits” in Alaska, a state without provisions to pay legal expenses of their employees. Those lawsuits would have cost her millions and the state too. She didn’t quit, she stepped aside — proving that 1) she doesn’t live to be in public office 2) she sees the BIG picture 3) she has more guts than most men and she was proven right to do this. PS: Alaska was the ONLY state with a surplus this past fiscal year…her plans work.

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 11:24amRon Paul has the best chance of defeating Obama.
What does that say about the rest of the GOP field of candidates?
The “Dear Satan, anybody BUT Ron Paul” campaign is in overdrive.
They’re flooding the field with unelectable and absolute jokes of candidates.
Ron Paul has been reelected 11 TIMES.
Herman cain is a joke and a fraud who worked for the Federal Reserve. I’ll never vote a Fed lackey into the White House. Are you DAFT?!?!
Do you see what Timothy Geithner is doing? He just threatened the damn congress to default if we don’t jack up the debt ceiling.
What do you think Herman Cain, Fed Lackey, is going to do?
He already said it doesn’t need to be audited, and then FLIP FLOPPED to try to migrate towards Ron Paul’s stance when he saw it was politically expedient because the people are freakin tired of all the freakin debt…
Herman Cain wants to return to a gold standard without abolishing the Fed, how does THAT work?
Plus he went on Hannity and said his plan “simply can’t work now”.
So what does anyone expect of this Federal Reserve Imposter?
Ron Paul 2012.
Pay attention to the ONLY viable candidate.

No , she didn’t resigned to become a reality TV star, she resigned to get the countless attacks against her out of the governor’s office, and the money they cost the state, away from the burden of taxpayers.
Gov. Palin’s entire administration was paralyzed by those frivolous complaints.
And no, Christie has not as much experience as she does at this point.
Sarah Palin has been in executive level politics for many years.
Again, Palin’s achievement was to pull Alaska out of a dire, corrupt, enduring systemic crisis and return it to fiscal health and prosperity when many people believed that such a thing was impossible.
On the big issues she left the state in better shape than most people, herself included, seem to realize or want to credit her for.

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 11:35amUH, DUH…I guess they’re going after CAIN like they went after PALIN…because they know HE’S THE REAL DEAL TOO. IN the Mid 90′s he was appt to the Fed. Reserve in KS. (one of 12 regional banks) ‘s Board…he didn’t run it… he was a life long Fed. Reservist. AT THAT TIME IN OUR HISTORY, being appointed to the Board was an honor…as in: You’ve made it as a Businessman, have very high standing in your Community…this is an Honor. SO…get over it. Next you’re going to call him a Mafiosa because he built God Father Pizza. THIS IS A GOOD MAN. HE would make a great running mate for PALIN (so would WEST). PS: RON PAUL is great, but he’s nuts. HE’S way too pragmatic and can not lead the whole nation. His comment on not killing an “unarmed” Bin Laden should be enough for you. His son? Maybe but not him. I’d love to see him in the Cabinet however!! and Jon Bolton as SEC of STATE to CLEAN OUT THE Life-long DEM infested State Department.

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 1:01pmWith all the negative blasts from the left (and some jealousy from the right) just what is the objection to Gov. Palin? She’s far from the only one who left office to focus on higher office, she was a good Governor and is a solid conservative. The left hates her because she’s a pro-life female with a brain and good looks. Are you critics really just confusing her with the SNL parody? Pay attention to what SHE actually says, not what SNL pretended she said.

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 5:11pmPalin 2012! Notice all the Ron Paul and Liberal posters above …
FYI Ron Paul will be 72 Years old when election time comes HE IS TOO OLD! he has a few, A FEW good ideas but 70% of his thinking is morphed and he will not make a Third attempt. TWICE America has SAID NO! to Ron Paul. BUt I gurantee you, you will see the Typical style Liberal like bused in Ron Paul supporters at his events that Boo all other contenders and scream and yell for Ron Paul like 8th graders.
Like I said the fact alone that he will be 72 will be a major turn-off to the majority of America, The left will pick this apart big time.
Cain, West, Bachmann, and PALIN are the ONLY REAL PEOPLE!
IF it weren’t for BECK AND BACHMANN AND PALIN! (FACT) WE would NOT have taken the Majority in the 2010 House election, THEY ARTE THE ONES THAT went to the front lines and fought the fight to take America Back! Ron Paul WAS NO WHERE! Romney WAS NO WHERE! That is a FACT!
I will be voting for the ones that get things done, PALIN, BACHMANN. Not the fence setters, Romnet Ron Paul, and others THAT WERE NO WHERE IN SIGHT PRIOR OR DURING THE 2010 ELECTIONS! Fighting for America. They were planning their Presidential runs, NOT LOOKING FOR AMERICAS BEST INTEREST! YOU can NOT deny PALIN, BECK, BACHMANN were the FRONT LINES people fighting for America prior and during the 2010 elections.
I vote for the REAL PEOPLE nor the Frauds that set on the fence.

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 8:11pmALL of the comments I’ve read so far are baseless, empty headed rhetoric.
None of you have a clue about what it takes to run a presidential campaign, much less how to choose a candidate.
I‘ve seen Christie’s name thrown out——he has a BIG problem with conservatives on immigration.
Ron Paul—-while I like his stance on the fed—– I don’t see Americans voting in droves for a man who would not have taken out Bin Laden, and who wants to legalize pot.
I believe the majority of Americans are sick and tired of establishment candidates/presidents and Obama’s half-truths and lies fit that bill in 2008———they got fooled, thanks much in part to the liberal lying media. I don’t see that happening again with a Herman Cain or Pawlenti who are both talking a “good game”, but neither have demonstrated they have what it will take to turn this ship around. The rest are a JOKE, and nothing but MORE of the same.
Palin, went rogue long ago. The media has obviously convinced may of you that she’s stupid, and in no way could be president. Foolish move on YOUR part.
My suggestion——- see what she has to say!

Posted on May 26, 2011 at 10:42pmHonestly, I cannot see how anyone could vote for Obama regardless of the opponent. (Disclaimer: I couldn’t fathom anyone voting for him in 08 either.) I mean, I could run a lamp shade and it’d be, “The Lamp Shade in a Landside!”
But ask yourself this, would you honestly vote against her if the choice came down to her or Obama? Think about that. I see people freak out anytime her name comes up. (I live in NJ, what so far seems to be very liberal-progressive) And, when I ask them what’s with her? All they can say is, “She’s stupid!” That’s it. Or, they might say she doesn’t have the experience. Counter that with she has/had way more then president Obama. Then it’s back to, “Well, she’s stupid!”
It may be that you know where she stands on almost every issue. I think we would rather our politicians behave ambiguously on issues, so we don’t feel we have to feel the discomfort of actually having to make a choice on a controversial issue. Because, the fear of straying from the heard is easier to adhere to than suffering the potential ostracism from the people you face daily.

If she were your mother you would be a much more well behaved imbecile. Left or right.
