Palin: "If I Die, I Die. So Be It"
Edited on Tue Jul-07-09 07:53 AM by sarah553807
Now this is getting fucking ridicules,sarah palin has convinced herself that she is now a martyr for the conservative movement:eyes:

(AP) ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Sarah Palin says she's not a quitter, she's a fighter, but adds that, politically speaking, "if I die, I die. So be it."

The Alaska governor spoke in taped interviews on ABC, NBC and CNN on Tuesday morning.

She tells CNN that "all options are on the table" for her future.

But she tells ABC's "Good Morning America" that she recognizes she might not have political staying power, saying "politically speaking, if I die, I die."

Speaking in fishing waders from the town of Dillingham, she says her resignation on Friday was a matter of progressing in an unconventional way because that's how Alaskans are.

Palin says she doesn't think she needs a title to affect "positive change," but also says she can't see herself being totally out of public service.

3. Does that mean that it's okay for us to yell "Kill her!" at her future public appearances?

6. I'm maver-icky but I'm just like every other Alaskan
Give me a break. The definition of maverick:
# someone who exhibits great independence in thought and action
# irregular: independent in behavior or thought; "she led a somewhat irregular private life"; "maverick politicians"

You can't be one of a kind and just like everyone else at the same time. But then she's a proud non-quitter who is quitting, so I guess opposites sit comfortably together in HER head.

12. Sorry to disappoint you, Sarah,
but we are NOT like you. Stop slandering us by saying "That's how Alaskans are." You are a world unto yourself.
