The recent announcement by Sarah Palin, that she would resign her governor's post, has lead to endless speculation about what lies ahead for her political career or if she even has one left. This speculation coming form both sides of the aisle, Democrats and Republicans. The Democrats were predictable in their assessments and criticisms of Palin's decision, in fact, their rhetoric has become passe. It is always the same thing, they denounce her and degrade her and continue to attempt to trivialize Palin and all that she stands for. Instead of reacting to these liberal attack dogs in anger, it provides hope. When the liberals stop attacking the one knows that Palin is no longer viable or a threat to everything Democrats and liberals represent. In a rare moment, I intend to take issue and criticize the Republican Party for their treatment of this great politician we have in Sarah Palin.

    The Republican Party has lost it's way and is struggling to regain credibility and identity. They are failing miserably at this because of all the infighting. The way Republicans have reacted to and treated Sarah Palin is an atrocity. They have joined the liberals in demeaning Palin attacking her experience, job performance, and her ideals. Republicans have wandered so far from the party's core belief system that Palin scares them as much as she does Democrats. Republicans have been going wayward ever since President Ronald Reagan left office. Today, it is often hard to tell the two party's apart. President George W. Bush with his exhorbitant spending. We have so called Republicans like Senators Snow and Collins that have broken the ranks and voted with the Democrats. Then we have the seven Republicans that recently voted for the Energy Cap and Trade Bill in the House of Representaives, a bill that flies in the face of conservative values. Last but not least we have Senator Specter that abandoned the Republicans to become a Democrat to save his own political hide. This was a total absence of values and hopefully he will be shown the door in the 2010 elections because of his disloyalty. Also included in the attacks of Palin include proclaimed conservatives Kathleen Parker and David Frum.

    Sarah Palin ia a wild child. She is unscripted and has decided that she is not going to tow the Republican line. She is not interested in the political machines that will dictate to her as to what she should say, where she should go. John McCain's campaign thwarted Palin in this manner and did her a total disservice in their handling of her. We have Republicans criticizing her for her decision to resign her term as Governor of Alaska and have declared her as politically dead and not a viable candidate for 2012 campaign. Karl Rove, who I usually have no criticisms for, lead the charge with this declaration. He and others state that Palin should fade away and learn more about national and foreign policy and reemerge onto the scene. Rove is known as "the architect" of George W. Bush's campaign. While Rove is talented and shrewd, I believe that he and others have miscalculated where Palin is concerned.

   Americans are tired of the status quo in politics. Politicians are scripted and calculating, operating from polls instead of their value systems. George W. Bush acted on his value systems and his faith which resulted in unprecedented hatred. Sarah Palin will now be free from the establishment to do as she sees fit, most likely learning from the experience of the McCain Campaign. Critics state that because Palin will not finish her term as governor, she hurts her chances for national office because people will see her as a quitter. This is a ridiculous argument when you look at the rise of Teleprompter, President & CEO of Government Motors, Barrack Obama. What did he do? He was a one term Senator of which two of the years he spent running his presidential bid. He accomplished nothing in the Senate except voting "present" on most issues that came before the legislative body. Before all of this he was a mere community organizer that kept affiliations with individuals that professed disdain for America and held Marxist values. He also worked with Acorn, that is riddled with corruption and being investigated in many States. Bill Kristol of the Weekly Standard had it right on in his analysis of Sarah Palin's future. He stated that Palin has made a move that frees herself from a situation that became impossible because of constant liberal attacks, ethics allegations, and Republican rival hatred, to come down to the lower 48 States and be herself, helping candidates by spreading the conservative messages. She will be uninhibited by a Republican Political Machine that has proven to be ineffective on the national stage.

    Sarah Palin is far from through with the political stage. She has sprung people to life all over the country and will stir more people when she arrives in the States. She is set to prove all her critics wrong and demonstrate that there are still many people in this country that have traditional values and that holding to these values is the most important thing of all especially in the face of criticism and hatred. The people don't want more political sell outs like Senator Specter. The irony in all of this is, that it will be the people of America that will stun the Republican and Democratic establishments by supporting Palin.  Sarah Palin is poised to be the leader of the long needed revival of the Republican Party. She is the greatest best hope this country has had in a long time. May God Bless Sarah Palin and long may she wave.
