Palin picnic marks beginning of the end
WASILLA, Alaska — Gov. Sarah Palin kicked off the first of three picnics marking her departure from office with a hometown tribute to the troops and an elbow at the news media.
Speaking before a friendly crowd at a park here Friday night, two days before she resigns, Palin invoked her soldier son to assure supporters that she is not downcast over the political frustrations that are prompting her to quit before her term is up.
She told the hundreds gathered in a military “Honor Garden” that she wanted to “do something… more worthy than speaking politics” before sharing a story about a reporter who had asked her about how she handles difficult days.
“I said, ‘Oh no,’ it is not a down day – my son called this week from Iraq,” Palin recalled, referring to her son, Track, an Army enlistee. “He is safe, he is sound. It is always a good day when my son calls.”
Interrupting the applause, Palin said: “I wish that some in the media would keep things like that in perspective, what is really important in our country. And what is important is our freedoms, America’s security, our liberty.”
Later, citing military families that have lost loved ones, she again drew loud applause by saying: “Let us continue to love our country, be proud of our country, never apologize for our country.”
She concluded her remarks by noting that it was the last time she’d appear in her hometown as governor, thanking the city that first elected her as mayor.
After she was done, one man yelled out, “We want you as our commander-in-chief,” prompting more cheers from the crowd and a military-style salute from Palin.

She said she was quiting because ofthe expensive complaints filed against her..
But as it turns out, the complaint she filed on HERSELF was the most expensive.
Who buys into this madness ?
State spent nearly $300K fighting governor's ethics complaints; Most expensive investigation may have been driven by Palin herself

You guys want a good laugh ?
Look at the posts 'recent posts' from Zafod.
It is 100% FACT that he ONLY posts on the CU to insult me...he is obsessed with me, you will notice page after page of insults ...
No debate
No friendly talk with other conservatives
Nothing but insults at me. I am flattered that he would obsess on me and spend so much of his time on little old me.
The link that tells the story, page after page of a guy who needs therapy.
