Smithinjapan compliments me by finally noticing that unlike my many opponents here I do listen to and follow what the other side is saying.I prefer New Republic to the adolescent HuffPo - where I suspect not a few of the spoon-bangers also petulantly refuse, like smith, to capitalize the names of people they don't like.
Better than either of them though is Nat'l Review. Jim Geraghty ("The Campaign Spot") sums up Palin Derangement Syndrome:
"Why They Hate Her, the Angelina Jolie of Politics"
...Conservatism, they suspect, will leave you in a marriage that doesn’t satisfy you, burden you with children you don’t want, repress your passions, and trap you in an empty, boring, and unfulfilled life, with no hand of government able to help.
"Today almost everyone faces some sort of challenge in balancing work and family; I don’t know too many people who believe there are sufficient hours in a day. And then along comes this woman who’s made all of these “conservative” choices and now has an amazing career, a supportive husband, a beautiful family, and great health and appearance, and she bears it all, including the inevitable hard times, with pluck and a smile, as far as we can tell. (For all we know, perhaps behind closed doors, Sarah Palin screams into a pillow when it all gets to be too much. But what we know about her suggests she relieves her stress by shooting moose.)
"In her opponents’ minds, Palin’s made all the wrong choices, and cannot, they insist, be very bright. Yet she’s happy and successful. She is an anomaly that invalidates their worldview, and for that, they attempt to immiserate her — regardless of whether she wishes to run for national office again."

HuffPo, biggest Lefty blog on the 'net, can't help making jokes about "retardation" .
"Palin Will Run in '12 on More Retardation Platform"
Yep, stay classy. And remember - you are the "progressive" movement.

GoodDonkey is evidently proud of the Alinsky scum that now control our once-great Democrat Party and that have made the corrupt Chicago Machine the model.

Man, you can almost smell the fear.
Palin drew 20,000 last month at a speech she gave in upstate New York.
Joe "Big Lug" Biden failed to draw a crowd the other day when the WH sent him to Erie,PA. to keep him busy.

Article above states "She didn’t say why she decided to step down..."
She did state, quite clearly, why she stepped down - because nobody does politics of personal destruction like "Liberals" and Democrats do, and it has obstructed her sincere desire to help not only her state but her country as much as she can.
New York Times carried the governor's statement; here is an excerpt
" Political operatives descended on Alaska last August, digging for dirt. The ethics law that I championed became their weapon of choice over the past nine months. [Typical Alinsky-Obama tactics, using the noble products of the democratic process against the citizenry, to ruin opponents who oppose the New Left's Gramscian agenda] I’ve been accused of all sorts of frivolous ethics violations, such as holding a fish in a photograph or wearing a jacket with a logo on it and answering reporters’ questions. Every one of these, though, all 15 of the ethics complaints have been dismissed. We have won, but it hasn’t been cheap. The state has wasted thousands of hours of your time and shelled out some two million of your dollars to respond to opposition research and that’s money that’s not going to fund teachers, or troopers or safer roads.
" And this political absurdity, the politics of personal destruction, Todd and I, we’re looking at more than half a million dollars in legal bills just in order to set the record straight. And what about the people who offer up these silly accusations? It doesn’t cost them a dime. So they’re not going to stop draining the public resources, spending other people’s money in this game. They won’t stop."
"It’s pretty insane. My staff and I spend most of our day — we’re dealing with this stuff instead of progressing our state now."
"And I know that I promised no more politics as usual but this isn’t what anyone had in mind for Alaska."

Looks like Pravda Online declaring America (under Obama) officially a socialist nation has really gotten to our rookie president.

The faux concern shown here for the citizens of Alaska by Lefty Commonwealth types is hilarious.
She pledged to do her utmost for the state of Alaska - so she quits!
Ooooowwwwwwwwhhhh. It's all so sad. I think I'm gonna cry.

smithinjapan: "Maybe not, but it was bush that led to the need for it."
Yeah. Bush, he like, singlehandedly sent oil to 100bucks a barrel, somehow put in place legislation stretching back to the early 80s that literally forced banks to apply the Left's loony tune "affirmative action" practices to lending policies, and then personally rigged things so that over-leveraged markets (not just in America,mind you) would be most exposed to the novel uncertainties and threats of a now globalized marketplace.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot! - he stoled all a duh oil from da Iraqis (after he pulled off 9-11)!!!
There. Did I miss any of the Deep Thought you have been coming with here for years?

Russia has blocked UN sanctions against Iran.Putin supports A'jad and the mullahs.
SO, how is that silly "reset" business working for the naive as ever blame- America-first wing of the Democrat Party?

Article says this Taliban faction is bewtween Pakistan and Afghanistan.Urdu spoken?
To President Obama - "Any plan to visit Pakistan in the near future?"
"I would love to visit. As you know, I had Pakistani roommates in college who were very close friends of mine.
[...]
"And so I have a great affinity for Pakistani culture and the great Urdu poets."
"You read Urdu poetry?"
"Absolutely."
"So that is what a troll sounds like when he is begging to be fed."

Politics aside I say good for Franken. Living the American dream. His talents took him to a position of great power from which he can do a lot of good. Minnesota has an economy roughly the size of Norway, and I'd wager Senator Franken is already more "famous" than the leaders of the many Commonwealth nations that posters on this site are from. So while I may disagree with some of my compatriots here I'm sure sezwho and BeaverCLeaver will readily admit Franken, like us, is truly blessed to be American.
