I give Sarah Palin the utmost respect for standing up to the perilous and vile critics who don't even do anything to benefit our country. It's a darn shame we still call ourselves a nation because we are so divided and willing to just point the finger and put the blame on anyone but ourselves and expect handouts from the government instead of working hard for ourselves. In general our society has lost sight of how lucky we are as Americans in my opinion and it's a shame that a kid has to point that out for some to realize it.

She is a woman of her word and takes alot of persecution for it. As far as Andrea Mcleaod goes, she needs to stop the jealousy and persecution. If she looked in the mirror once in awhile she might see she should concentrate on herself and her intergrity. It is always easier to condemn another than pay attention to your own flaws. FAMILY should always come before anything in life. Alaska is not Palins God, it was her job and she is VERY good at it, despite the persecution. I am so excited for the day that this wonderful woman, Mrs. Palin, is the first Woman in the United States to become President.

You might want to investigate exactly where the complaints have been coming from and report on that; honestly.

Sure, opinions are given here, but any stupid person can have an opinion. The fact of the matter is that she does not care if it is political suicide or not-she even said so herself. She said she had a "higher calling". I believe that higher calling is to her family. What a travesty that our society is ok with ridiculing her family, but anyone else it wouldn't be okay. And shame on those who are in on it. What goes around comes around. The people who ridicule Sarah Palin are very immature. Sure, opinions are given here, but any stupid person can have an opinion.

With the frivolous lawsuits being thrown out, Andree McLeod should be paying back the state of Alaska for wasting taxpayer money. I noticed her resignation comes right after a news blogger doctors a picture of Sarah Palin and pastes Newt Gingrich's head on her son-now if that would have been Obama's children, there would be national outrage; instead people make fun of her by calling her a martyr. She probably said enough was enough when it came to her family. The hypocrisy of the liberal left is astounding.

Palin is never going to be President. It seems to be in line with the stupidity of the Letterman jokes. We should be focused on the trillions of debt that out new fearless leader is trying to sell.

I would imagine that there are multiple reasons she has been driven to this decision. She has exhibited more ethics and grace under fire then Hillary could ever dream of.

So lets see, we have an entire program for "Black in America 2" we have BET, we cheer the fact that Obama is the First Black American President. Wasn't MLK Jr that said "we should be judged for the content of our character and not the color of our skin?" Making a show out of Obama visiting Africa-give me a break! Are we going to have a show about being White in America? We go out of our way to be political correct-even to the ridiculous degree of Mirandizing prisoners of war. We live in a wacky world. Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Dodd et al - these people are a serious threat to the American way of life. Not because of their personalities and not because of the color of their skin, but because of their actions. Its time for reason to take over from special interest groups and influence pedaling-and that includes both Democrats and Republicans. Get a grip guys you've got a country to run.
