Sara feels she is a profit, and has to deliver the message from God....which fall right into her need to tell about evil spirits at work...The term Going Rouge, means you have ability others do not and you have a responsibility to be unlike others and let your knowledge out.

Wow! Well if Sarah Palin even did have a "shot gun wedding", props to her!! She made a mistake, like many men and women have, and she chose to do what was right. Did she not marry him and grow to have a healthy, happy relationship with her husband. If she was engaged to him and they were together a month before they to be married, Oh well. They made a mistake, but did what they could from there to make it right.

Sarah, we believe that if God chooses to give America another chance, He is using you as a great patriot; as an outstanding family woman; as a brilliant, experienced stateswoman; and as the one who will save America from the liberal corruption that is killing it. Wake up voters. Clean house in Washington. Vote yourself back into the government for the people and by the people. Don't you notice the economy is lost; jobs are lost; our freedoms are being eleminated; and benefits that we embraced are not being handed down to our children. Every evil, terrorism, taking away medical services; outsourcing jobs; taking away the one true God; and encouraging the taking away of the good wholesome values from our youth are all in place in media and in Washington. Americans, you are smarter than this allowing the dermise of our great way of life. Please don't let the evil blind you; wake up; read. If we don't learn from history, we will repeat the decline of our civilization just like Rome, Greece, Persia. Open your hearts and minds to learn from the past. REagan said that we are only one generation from loosing our freedoms. He knew it, and we are seeing it happen right before our eyes. Sarah is our hope. The liberal assalt her, so they are in fear of her. God Bless Us, Everyone!

"But after Palin governed Alaska as a centrist, Going Rogue is helping solidify her national reputation as a poster child for religious conservatives."

Wow...you folks are gullible! Just wondering, did $arah happen to mention in her book that she had a SHOTGUN WEDDING?! I wouldn't say abstinence is very successful in the palin household! Did $arah mention in her book what it is that she is hiding from her base regarding her medical records ($arah released a letter from her doctor the night before the election!)? And as another poster stated earlier, $arah has got a loose relationship with the truth and with facts. I suggest you get to KNOW the REAL $arah before you get your hopes too high.
This reminds me of how Dr. Dobson fell for Carrie Prejean's facade despite her fake boobs, naked photos, and sex tapes. Once she said she was against gays, anything else this fraud did mattered not.
You people are so sadly gullible about both $arah palin and Carrie Prejean. If $arah did mention her shotgun wedding in her book, please advise.
From an article by THE HILL on the book, Trailblazer:
“Lorenzo Benet, an assistant editor at People magazine, tries to capitalize on Palin’s star power in his latest book, Trailblazer: An Intimate Biography of Sarah Palin.
But even with all of his focus on Palin’s values, Benet practically glosses over what was apparently a shotgun wedding. The Palins eloped on Aug. 29, 1988, to the surprise of their parents and friends. Their firstborn, Track, was delivered almost exactly eight months later, on April 20, 1989.
When contacted by The Hill, Bill McAllister, a spokesman for Palin, said only: “I think it’s part of the public record that the governor and her husband eloped.” He declined to comment on the timing of Track’s birth.”

As a Alaskan Conservative, I'd encourage any and all whom love and cherrieh her, to keep her.
The damage she has done here in Alaska is too far away for you all to grasp. Just keep her...many Alaska Conservatives, really don't care to see her back... In fact if it was feasably possible, some of us would pay you to keep her.

I pray she will leave! of AK 11:32PM December 02, 2009

As a democrat I'm praying for Sarah Palin to run for Pres. in 2012.
Huckabee's done for. Romney's a Mormon who made his fortune laying people off.
Gingrich would make a good sidekick for a tv gumshoe.
That leaves Hayley Barbour.

Seriously, are all Christians such chronic liars as Sarah Palin.
I don't think I can believe one word that comes from a Christian.

I was one of the women who were excited and enthusiastic about Sarah Palin running for VP....until she opened her mouth and started spewing such lies, misstatements, misrepresenting facts, making derogatory remarks and using inflammatory rhetoric. We need an individual who will represent America well, a person with ethics, respect for all, humble, compassionate and inclusive. Unfortunately, that is not Sarah Palin, she is a devisive element that would do more harm than good. As far as her being an outstanding Christian leader, well she HAD to get married because she was pregnant and now her daughter has a child out of wedlock. That in of itself is not wrong, but when you go around criticizing others, well, remember the old saying: people who live in glass houses should not throw stones. I will never forget her devisive and inflammatory rhetoric inciting others to yell, "Kill him, Kill him," when she made negative remarks about the presenditenial candidate. That is not Christian like behavior, that is attempting to win at all cost. In her interview, she stated she had to leave her children and family because she needed to write her book, then we find out she did not write it, she paid a ghostwriter to write it for her. The contents of the book is dedicated not to Christian like beliefs but a petty, whining, critical, and backstabing, envious tiresome, load of words that many are seeing through. NO! Palin is not ready, nor will she ever be presendential material. She has neither the smarts nor the compassion or forethought to hold such a high position. God did not put her on this path, she stepped all over others to get what she wants, money and attention. She is a big disappointed to many women. A Kay Baily Hutchinson, she is not. A classic example of a "deficit in leadershop."
