The cost of defending herself against all the frivolous lawsuits. Your ignorance is showing.
Did she ask the GOP for help?
Your ignorance is really showing. You mean the corrupt GOP she exposed? http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122057381593001741.html
How Palin Beat Alaska's Establishment
Righteousness exalteth a nation:but sin is a reproach to any people
And how does that justify her quitting-answer-it doesn't.
[ Did she ask the GOP for help?]
Your ignorance is really showing. You mean the corrupt GOP she exposed?
No, I was referring to the National GOP.
So, it is your own blind stupidity that is exposed.
Yes, and what does that have to do with Palin?
Palin has picked some good candidates and also supported some very bad ones, like McCain.
So, Palin doesn't qualify for sainthood.
She also supported Lugar in the Ind. Primary.
Yep she made her case for why she supported Lugar, and it was a good case.
Palin also led us to victory with Deb Fischer in replacing democrat Ben Nelson and defeating Senator Bob Kerry.
Palin had another good election in regards to her personal efforts.
Actually, you can keep trying to hammer at the conservative leader for reasons unknown, but Ted Cruz has a different opinion from yours, of why he won that difficult race.
“Ted Cruz says Sarah Palin’s endorsement was ‘game-changing’ in his Senate win”
“”Sarah Palin might have been sitting out this year’s Republican National Convention, but that does not mean that she has been forgotten by the party faithful in Tampa.
Especially not by Ted Cruz, who credits her endorsement with helping him beat Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst in the race for the Texas GOP Senate nomination.
While speaking with POLITICO’s Mike Allen this morning, the Texas Republican Senate nominee called Palin’s endorsement “game-changing.”
“If you look at the senate races across the country this cycle and last cycle, Governor Palin has had a game changing impact one after the other,” explained Cruz.
Palin endorsed Cruz, a Tea Party favorite who shares her philosophy of liberty and limited government, just days before a wide-open May 29 primary, helping to propel Cruz into a strong second place showing. The Cruz surge provided momentum for his runoff battle with Dewhurst.
“Fighters like Ted Cruz can lead the charge for us,” former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin said in July when she came to Texas to campaign with Cruz, calling him a “a proven, common-sense constitutional conservative.”
The Tea Party favorite admitted that many have referred to his victory as “improbable.” He told Allen that the reason why Palin’s endorsement has had such an enormous impact is because voters consider her a true barometer of conservatism.
“In a Republican primary, everyone claims to be conservative and voters are pretty cynical. They are tired of these candidates that sounds great on the stump. They say they are going to cut spending, they get into the office and they become spineless jellyfish,” Cruz said. “I think conservatives trust Sarah Palin that if she says this guy is a conservative, that he is a real deal.”””
I understand Palin’s ethics complaints (not lawsuits) cost her..... $600,000?
Three months before she quit she signed a book deal worth approximately $7 million.... plus she was getting $100,000 per speech.
I can see if she thought the hassle of being governor was not worth the trouble. But lets be serious. She didn’t quit because she was going broke.
And yes, she did ask for and receive help from the GOP. She was paid $250,000 from the RNC to cover her legal expenses from the ethics probe.
The reason Palin was so active in the 2010 elections was because the RNC agreed to pay half of her legal bills in exchange for her campaigning for Republicans.
So yes, the Republican Party DID help her... did defend her... did support her. Regardless of how many times her supporters deny it.

“He said the RNC has committed to sending the Anchorage law firm a second check of an equal amount, which would bring the total to $257,037.70.
Asked about Mrs. Palin’s role with the RNC this fall, spokesman Doug Heye declined to say whether her fundraising help was the purpose of the check. He said only that “the disbursement relates to legal fees incurred during the summer and fall of 2008, when Democrats engaged in a partisan witch hunt against Gov. Palin. Based on conversations in 2008, the RNC decided to step in to help.”

Cruz was helped by her, but the TeaParty, as well as Dewhurst's own ineptness, helped as well.
She supported two winners, but also supported McCain, who did probably survive because of her support, and Lugar who thankfully lost.
How did Lugar repay her, did he endorse the winner of the primary, a Teaparty candidate, I believe he didn't.
Thanks to Palin we also have McCain for another term as well.
Thank you for your post!
You are trying to destroy perspective, and lie.
Senator Ted Cruz disagrees with you and frankly, he knows better than some anti-conservative troll, when it comes to who put him over the top.
With Palin’s endorsements exceeding 80 over the last 4 years, and with her extraordinary success of moving the Congress, Senate, and Governorships to the right, your agenda is pretty clear, stop Palin, stop the tea party, stop conservatism.
You have shown incredible passion and dedication to that agenda of “stop Palin, stop the tea party, stop conservatism”, days worth of it, there isn’t much else of yourself to reveal to us.
Conservatives want more Palins, and more Palin influence, and many more Palin successes for years to come, not less and fewer, but the left sure wants what you want.
Sarah Palin Lawsuit Thrown Out Due To Lack Of Evidence Juneau, Alaska — A lawsuit against former Alaska governor Sarah Palin was struck down on Thursday by a federal judge. The suit, brought against Palin by activist Chip Thoma, alleged that the politician had attempted to silence Thoma when he complained about traffic around the governor's mansion

Three months before she quit she signed a book deal worth approximately $7 million.
Are you sure it wasn't 11 million or 1.25 million? Do you have a copy of the contract or are you just repeating what you read in TPM, HuffPo or some other rag?

"RNC Treasurer Randy Pullen, who co-signed the check with RNC Chief Administrative Officer Boyd Rutherford, said Mr. Rutherford told him the check was in exchange for Mrs. Palin’s help with RNC Chairman Michael S. Steele to raise money for midterm election campaigns"

Her defense of candidates isn't very ideologically consistent.
Frivolous, yes. But for the record, they were not lawsuits. They were ethics complaints being investigated by a commission appointed by Sarah Palin. Correct?
And if she could pay for her entire legal bill with a few weekends of speeches, why did she really resign?
Reading comprehension a problem for you?????

You stated that the cost of “frivolous lawsuits” was a reason she quit.
In Palin’s resignation speech, she called them “ethics complaints.” She never mentioned that she quit because of lawsuits.
By the way, the “lawsuit” you cite was filed almost two years AFTER Palin quit. Right?
So how could you claim that it was a reason why she quit?
Other Frivolous Lawsuits
1- Gregory Charles Royal vs Sarah Palin (failure to issue Juneteenth proclamation)
2- PsychRights vs Sarah Palin et al (forceful drugging of children in care and state institutions)
3- Andree McLeod vs Sarah Palin (secret e-mails)
Who cares why she left Alaska to come down here and devote herself to saving conservatism.
What really matters is her accomplishments, of course that is also the reason that anti-Conservative hate her with such passion and devotion.
