Sarah Palin Farewell Address (2/2) - 7.26.09

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin gives a final speech before transitioning power to Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell. But not before exercising her freedom of speech.

"Be wary of accepting government largesse," Palin says on why she refused stimulus funds. "It doesn't come free, and often accepting it, takes away everything that is free."

She explains the real reason she quit was to "avoid a... politics-as-usual lame duck session... How does that benefit you?"

And she thanked her "right-hand man", Chris Perry - who is apparently a female.

Governments are necessary evils. But don't blindly trust them - question them, and seek honest people to govern you. But I suppose that's just bonkers talk.

To ecwau. I just for the first time saw your nasty comment to me. First of all I am very much a woman..A Grandmother in fact. I have no idea why your pathetic life would dictate writing useless uneducated responses to a fellow American Citizen in the manner that you chose. Apparently I viewed this video sometime ago. My thoughts have changed on Palin, and nearly everyone in our Current Government. It is ruled by a bunch of NWO mobsters now. sad...

Translation. I'm going to be making lots of money now.

Since that time, Sarah lifted the Tea Party movement from a handful of protests to the most powerful political movement in 100 years. She took on ObamaCare and Porkulus from minute 1 when no one else had the guts. Is there any doubt that the GOP/tea Party election victories in 2009 & 2010 would not have happened if Sarah did not take this action?

sara palin...an inspiration to quitters all over the country

Well, Let's just look at their academic background and standing if you really need something to measure them by... Sari Palin is simply a functional idiot, had John McCain not been flying by the seat of his pants when running for President he wouldn't have said to himself, "she has to be a well rounded, intelligent person, she's the Governor of a State! Had he ONLY known her, then we would NEVER have had that dolt foisted upon us.

It's been done so thoroughly by Fox Fictional News, talk radio, the teabaggers, and other groups from the far side that it's all old news.

I hope that the republic party runs Palin in the next presidential election. LOL
