The Top Ten Sarah Palin Quotes



Vicki McClure Davidson at The Frugal CafĂ© decided to mark the end of the year with – surprise, surprise – a “best of” list. So then she had to think about her “top ten” – and it didn’t take long....

So, here’s my “best Top Ten” list to add to the eclectic mix… my Top 10 Sarah Palin Quotes. How anyone can actually hate this incredible, classy woman is simply mind-blowing. Sarah is no typical politician… she has definitely made 2009 far more interesting and hopeful. Through her continued conservative, patriotic efforts, 2010 should prove to be even more so.


Vicki, true to the format of those audience voting elimination show, ranked them in no particular order – so here are her first two

1. No one expects us to agree on everything. But we are expected to govern with integrity, good will, clear convictions, and… a servant’s heart.

2. At its most basic level, conservatism is a respect for history and tradition, including traditional moral principles. I do not believe I am more moral, certainly no better, than anyone else, and conservatives who act “holier than thou” turn my stomach. So do some elite liberals. But I do believe in a few timeless and unchanging truths, and chief among those is that man is fallen. This world is not perfect, and politicians will never make it so. This, above all, is what informs my pragmatic approach to politics.


I would guess that each of us would be able to make our own top ten of Sarah Palin quotes but to be frank Vicki’s list seems fine to me. Maybe someone could print them on a small card and flood the nation with them – wouldn’t Brooks and Frum explode!!!

Read the rest of Vicki’s selection here....

Dear David,

Thanks, and Happy New Year to you and yours (and I believe it already is 2010 in England!!)

I want to wish everyone a happy and blessed New Year and I really think Sarah Palin is going to be not only our next  President but also the first female President of the United States of America. My crystal ball told me so....

sandrainoregon,  December 31, 2009 7:38 PM  

I can agree with all of those quotes except for the one on sports.  But that is my personal opinion.  We certainly had a lot of quotes to choose from.

Izzy,  December 31, 2009 7:41 PM  

Yap... I will be making some cards with those Sarah Palin quotes.  They are timeless.  They are full of common sense.  

Let 2010 begin... the best is yet to come.

PALIN NATION.

MarkRNY,  December 31, 2009 7:45 PM  

In a few years they'll come out with a book called "The Quotable Sarah Palin" there'll be so many of them.

"Death Panels" was the greatest, most important quote since "Evil Empire" imo. Both quotes were attacked viciously by the Left because they knew how <span>effective</span> they were, and by Frum/Brooks RINO types because, deep down, they think the Left's cool (which is a reason to pity them on some level I guess).

Happy New Year C4P! You've been a bright spot. It's going to be a big year for the country and for Lady Sarah!  

William Henley,  December 31, 2009 7:45 PM  

I only have two that I think are tops.  1)  in her book when she attempted to fly and then picked herself up and said, "That didn't work".  2)  "Terrorists, we are going to kill you!" and Okay, 3)  "Deathpanels"

Kjanlady,  December 31, 2009 8:05 PM  

How about..."To the lamestream media, in honor of our military sons and daughters, can you stop making things up"  and Creula's favorite........"Divorce Todd, Have you seen Todd"....."You betcha"

Bill589,  December 31, 2009 8:05 PM  

One of my favorite recent Sarah Palin quotes is from a tv interview. To protect American lives . . . "Profile away."
-
A common American expression. Typical. Some speak Harvard English. Some speak Oxford English. Palin speaks American.
-
It allows her, in two words, to Americans, to express the extreme level of effort, and even attitude, she believes should be brought toward protecting American lives. (And it also reminds me of those short, direct, Reagan answers.)
-
She would protect Americans as a mother bear protects her cubs. If you ever see a mother bear with cubs in the woods, it’s probably already too late, but the last thing you want to do is mess with her cubs.

Puma... no crystal ball but my heart tells me so... It is going to be happen 2012!

Bestbud,  December 31, 2009 8:06 PM  

Happy New Year to all!... good night

Beehive,  December 31, 2009 8:11 PM  

Happy New Year Bestbud.

tim c,  December 31, 2009 8:12 PM  

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and that we all share in a great New Year that brings us closer to having a REAL President in        SARAH PALIN.

Question: What do you think about CPAC, the guy who runs it? Teamed up with the John Birch Society for the convention?
Should Sarah participate?

William Henley,  December 31, 2009 8:17 PM  

As the only person/Govenor I have heard say "if I die politically, then I die."

dr vicki,  December 31, 2009 8:31 PM  

On a lighter note, my favorite Piper quote:

Geez, Mom, you're porkin up.

Anonymous,  December 31, 2009 8:42 PM  

That's the essential beauty of Sarah's many quotes, many of us can personally identify with them, like they were own own values and aspirations.

Indemind,  December 31, 2009 8:48 PM  

Best Sarah quotes. ... In all the gin joints in all the world, she walks into mine. Oh, that's not Sarah,  that's Bogie.  Well since it is New Year's Eve and some of you Barbarians wil be hitting places like Rick's Amercana (gin joints), Please don't Drink and Drive. and Have a Happy New Year.

God Bless.

"Hang 'em high."

Izzy,  December 31, 2009 9:10 PM  

One of my best quote by Sarah is..."God does not drive parked cars".  That quote rekindled the passion in me to pursue something I had kind of lost some passion for.  I am now busy with it and enjoying the benefits.  Gov. Palin...you are indeed great.

Izzy,  December 31, 2009 9:12 PM

Hellrider,  December 31, 2009 9:13 PM  

My favorite Sarah Palin quote of the year is actualy the good Governor quoting somone else: "Boom...Taste my night stick".

Puma.for.Life,  December 31, 2009 9:21 PM  

When I met sarah palin, rather than saying anything to me, she hugged me. Thosse are her famous last words, as far as I am concerned. God Bless You.

Brianus.Berkleianus,  December 31, 2009 9:26 PM  

Thanks, Puma...Happy New Year to you too!!!

DefCon66,  December 31, 2009 9:43 PM  

Hannity has a audience on and brought up Sarah and you could tell who the raging liberals were easily, they parroted the same 'ole stupidity..."She can see Russia from her house and left office so she could get her book published and make money."....... The idiots.

RedDaveR,  December 31, 2009 10:14 PM  

A couple of quotes that I think deserve at least honorable mention:

"Be wary of accepting government largesse.  It doesn't come free.  And often accepting it takes away everything that is free".

" Hollywood needs to know: We eat, therefore we hunt".

Firelight,  December 31, 2009 10:39 PM  

Happy New Year everyone!!!  C4P is definitely one of my happy places :)  Cheers to a new 2010!!

hrh,  December 31, 2009 10:40 PM  

It's actually a rare New Year's Eve with a blue moon, as in "once in a blue moon," as in, the second full moon in a month!

Regarding the snow machines, sounds like fun! Can I come? Wish I were there! Wonder what the temp is??? :)

Izzy,  December 31, 2009 10:42 PM  

Sarah is facing the future with a smile...so are we, her supporters.

Happy New Year C4P...

lmg,  December 31, 2009 10:52 PM  

I can't see the moon because it's cloudy with intermittent rain and snow. But there was a partial lunar eclipse tonight that could have caused the moon to be reddish. Also if it's low on the horizon from where they are it will look reddish orange.

"I always remind people from outside our state that there's plenty of room for all Alaska's animals -- right next to the mashed potatoes."

turfmann,  December 31, 2009 11:16 PM  

I know that Bill Shatner said it, but my favorite pithy quote was "BOOM, taste my nightstick".

I think that there will be many more notches in her nightstick by the end of 2010

PatrickinOH,  December 31, 2009 11:18 PM  

Nice one!

lmg,  December 31, 2009 11:35 PM  

I picked up Shatner's book after that Conan appearance. I've leafed through it a bit and it looks to be very interesting and well written.

terri,  December 31, 2009 11:37 PM  

How about..."they're called illegal for a reason".

Izzy,  December 31, 2009 11:42 PM  

Thanks Sarah, Todd and family.  Looking forward to a prosperous and joyous New Year with you.

panchita,  December 31, 2009 11:45 PM  

i'm off to spend the last few moments of 2009 nights with the spouse. wanted to take a few seconds and wish all my fellow barbarians the happiest of new years.

God bless you all. God bless America.

PatrickinOH,  December 31, 2009 11:48 PM  

Happy New Year panchita!

"I know He hears me when I just call out to Him, which I do a lot. Oh, yes, I pray. I talk to God every day. I've put my life, so I put my day, into God's hands, and I just ask for guidance and wisdom and grace to get through one situation after another."

CruelaDev,  January 1, 2010 1:07 AM  

Nope...
Best Quote...

"Only Dead Fish Go With The Flow".....

Dead fish went with the flow in 2008 and we got BO BO THE CLOWN for 4 years!

awesome Puma
You are blessed

William Henley,  January 1, 2010 2:13 AM  

Sorry dud but I think that you are so wrong.  I eat and I kill what I eat.   I agree with Sarah, Alaskans love all of our animals.  Right beside our mashed potatoes.  And all you suckfaces who take goverment handouts suck.

Whitney,  January 1, 2010 2:24 AM  

Without a doubt, my favorite quote is from her introduction of Michael Reagan: " It's in God we trust, it is not in big government that we trust".

This quote is perfect marriage of her political and personal philosophies.


Happy New Year, everyone!

Bill589,  January 1, 2010 3:07 AM  

Sarah quotes coach Lou Holtz (p.79) when describing her approach to management: "Motivation is simple. You eliminate those who are not motivated."

There just might be a mass exodus out of D.C. in 2013. Good. A vacuum would be better. But I’m sure Sarah will pick the right people, to do the right jobs.

eclecticak,  January 1, 2010 6:06 AM

Good Morning everyone, and Happy New Year!

Here's wishing a productive 2010 to Sarah Palin and her family. Oh, and good luck to Texas and anyone playing the Gators.

sandrainoregon,  January 1, 2010 8:19 AM  

I admire your compassion.

Pat in NC,  January 1, 2010 9:36 AM  

May the New Year bring security and happiness once again to our beloved nation because God hears our prayers and forgives us from wandering so far from acknowledging our dependence on Him. May we continue to be motivated to identify and vote for persons seeking to serve the people rather than allowing person's seeking personal power to remain in office. 

BetseyRoss,  January 1, 2010 9:42 AM  

Profile away is my favorite one.  Look at how much money we wouldn't have to spend being politically correct.  There isn't a Sarah quote with which I disagree.
