Legal bills swayed Palin, official says

At first I felt a twinge of pity at hearing all of the money she owed (just a tiny one, mind you), but that thought was quickly dashed at the thought of Palin pushing her conservative views at a national level. :facepalm followed by sigh:

Another bright star of the Republican party has fallen.

As much as i do not agree with her on major and minor policy issues, she isn't stupid. Get ready for Palin for President 2012.

A person that cannot handle her own personal finances, has ethical issues and isn't smart enough to avoid investigation does not need to be on the world stage or considered for a leadership role in anything greater than the local PTA.

I can't feel bad for someone whose legal fees are piling up when all of them are related to ethical complaints. It seems like a repeat problem. No pity.

She might try to run in '12 but there's no frikkin way she'll win the nomination. *fingers crossed*

LOL can you imagine? Palin vs. Obama 2012? LMFAO yeaaa right!

....She will be doomed....I'd say....
...

Personally, I hate all the "liberals this," "conservatives that," "democrats are that," "republicans are this" bullshit we feed each other all the time. Fuck, we're all just people. But, as a Republican and as a Conservative, Palin is just an ignorant (insert derogatory word here) who makes an entire party lose even more credibility.

If she were to run, and we were to let her win and make her president, I'd say we deserve what's coming to us. Someone as close minded as this woman can only bring more pain and suffering to a people who have been oppressed through misrepresentation and lies. If she runs, and wins, I guess the world will finally be right. It will be proof that we are a Stupid people. Let's not let that happen eh?

On another note, she's a damn dumb bigot who deserves no one's respect or attention.

No matter what the reason, by leaving office half way into her first term as Gov., Palin has betrayed the people of Alaska who elected her to a four year term.

Palin has ruined any chance of further political office. Her resignation was political suicide.

She will forever be known as a quitter and some one who folded under pressure, She will never be trusted with political office again.

Higher office for Palin = bigger demands for Palin!

That doesn't make any sense.
I thought those kinds of costs are generally covered by contributors of which she has no shortage. norm Coleman picked up near a milion dollars screwig Minnesota out of it's senator for 6 months and I heard he is planning on using the money to cover the legal bills for his corruption charges.

A good point guard passes the ball and then sets a pick or posts up for a wide open three to give the team a chance to score. They don't pass the ball and take themselves off the floor telling the coach and rest of the team "I quit" on the way out in the middle of the play.

I am surprise that anyone thinks her political career is over. Post Reagan, the Republican party has branded itself on two platforms, small government and conservative on social issues. Thanks to two terms of Bush II, the Republican party has turned into the antithesis of small government. That leaves social issues to rail on. Since this is an utterly vapid platform to run an entire party on, makes Palin the far and away perfect candidate. (Seriously, am I the only person seriously missing William F Buckley?). Her leaving office is perfect as it prevents her from having a record of screwing up or actually having a record at all...I guess she is using the "Senator" Obama method ...

I expect her to slaughter her opponents in the Republican primary as she will lock up the anti-intellectual vote along with with Jindal running a close second to form a power ticket. God forbid they actually win in the general election as I would be one of the many people sent to internment camps immediately for wearing glasses...

Come on the only reason she has such high legal bills is because leftists and Democrats have been making false ethical claims. She has not once been found guilty of any ethical crimes, and that is after 18 accusations. EIGHTEEN!!!! I have great pity for Palin. I hate the inconsistencies of leftists. Back in the 1990's Clinton's kids where never touched. What about Gore's son? Now, we have a media that is attacking all of Palin's kids even the young diagnosed down-syndromed child, morally wrong!!!! Maybe she is leaving her post simply because she needs time to care for her children and family, and leave the unrelentless scrutiny of this biass media behind, that began almost the same day she was picked to be VP back in 2008.

I know she was recently complaining that law makers in Alaska have been drilling into her ass with all sorts of issues.

Which would be fine and good...if they were in session.

They are going to find out about how she built her home with alllll the money she used. She is just quiting before she is hung out to dry.Didn't we get rid of the Alaskan Sen.last year..She dosen't want to go through what he did that's all.Gewd move Sarah! Get oout and aboot.

I thought that as a person she seemed like a sweet lady. But I'd sooner smash my nuts in a car door (which I'd really not want to do) than elect her to any very powerful point of office.

Likewise it has NOTHING to do with her being a woman, honestly if I could switch gender rolls this second I would. I am an awesome house husband and I do damn good with kids, likewise I have no problem taking orders from women (makes my life easier).

It had much to do with her extremely short sighted views on how things operate in this world. Had she at least expressed desires to educate herself I'd have given her the benefit of the doubt but more often than not she expressed nothing but blatant ignorance to the world around her and I found that unsettling.

well we see what she is made of. I'm not impressed at all. I do beleave that anyone would have been a better running mate.

Didn't she spend more than 2 mill on Clothing and jewelry during the last election?

it costs a lot to be ignorant! ;)

She quit so she could move near Washington just wait and see.

She had a lot of bills to pay so she quit her job? Oh that makes sense.

She's rated 5 of 5 now on the republican candidate checklist:

christian.. check
idiot.. check
ignorant.. check
greedy.. check
crook status.. hmm, check

Ready for success this time around!

She is so incredibly condescending.
