If you weren’t a troll, you would have posted that to post 108 where Ted Cruz himself shows that you are lying, and making it up. To what end, only an anti-conservative troll knows.

“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.”””

Sarah Palin did not quit because of those lawsuits. You know that.

She never even mentioned them in the speech she gave when she quit. She only mention the “ethics complaints.” She said: “Every one - all 15 of the ethics complaints have been dismissed. We’ve won!”

FYI, every governor in the nation gets frivolous lawsuits filed against them. My governor Snyder has been sued several times for making changes in Michigan.

I am sure he is not quitting because of it.

Palinhater, your agenda and/or ignorance is obvious. They were part of the reason.

The announcement caught even current and former Palin advisers by surprise. Former members of the John McCain campaign team, now dispersed across the country, traded perplexed e-mails and phone calls. But personal pressures have been mounting _ scrutiny on her family, legal bills, ethics investigations and a running, public feud with McCain's camp that has flared up again. In a hastily arranged news conference at her home in suburban Wasilla, Palin said she will formally step down July 26, and Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell will be inaugurated at the governor's picnic in Fairbanks. She said she had decided against running for re-election as Alaska's governor, and believed it was best to leave office even though she had two years left to her term. "Many just accept that lame duck status, and they hit that road. They draw a paycheck. They kind of milk it. And I'm not going to put Alaskans through that," she said.

Please provide evidence showing which governors have had anywhere near the complaints and lawsuits filed against them.

Personal pressures....... scrutiny......legal bills.... "ETHICS INVESTIGATIONS"...... feud with McCain camp........

No mention of any lawsuits..... Thanks for making my point.

Every post you have made helps me make my case. She was not driven out because of "frivolous lawsuits."

WTF do you think personal pressures are? Frivolous ethics complaints and lawsuits, Palinhater. Why were there legal bills? You're obsessed and not very bright!

My Republican governor has also been sued, just like Sarah Palin. But he is not quitting because of it.

Regarding Sarah Palin’s legal bills..... she owed $500,000.

She quit two months after she signed a multi million dollar book deal. Plus she was getting $100,000 per speech.

So tell me again that she was going broke...

Please provide evidence showing the number of frivolous complaints and lawsuits filed against your governors, Palinhater! You are really pathetic.

I know that Michigan Governor Rick Snyder has been sued. You can google his lawsuits as easily as me. I am sure every governor has them..... I just googled Florida Governor Rick Scott and found out he has been sued. But I doubt he is going to quit. I know that Rick Snyder will not either.

But Sarah Palin did quit her job as governor after... and in her words... all of the ethics complaints had been dismissed. In other words, all of the ethics complaints were all dismissed when she resigned.....

Then after she had just signed a multi-million dollar book deal she quit.... and when she was commanding $100,000 per speech.

My point is that she did not quit because of frivolous lawsuits and legal bills. The ethics complaints, according to her, were finished. Plus she had ample funds to pay her legal bills.

With all due respect, I do share her political opinions.

Your allegation, your responsibility to provide documentation.

But Sarah Palin did quit her job as governor after... and in her words... all of the ethics complaints had been dismissed.

In her words? Provide the exact quote! Two more complaints were filed after she resigned. :http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/back-story/2009/jul/11/2-more-ethics-complaints-filed-against-palin-after/

Aren't you embarrassed about being consistently proven wrong, Palinhater?

With all due respect the situation in Alaska was unique.

Palin faced (much) more incumbent-unfriendly than in other states. When the lawsuits began, they took on a life of their own and threatened to BK Palin.

Please lay off Palin!

If you have a beef with her, say so. But stop confusing readers.

Then perhaps find something else to talk about.

Here is Palin’s exact quote:

“Every one - all 15 of the ethics complaints have been dismissed. We’ve won!”

So in other words, ALL of Palin’s “ethics complaints” were dismissed when she quit. It was done. It was over.....

By the way, Google is easy to use.

Rick Snyder’s lawsuits:

Rick Scott’s lawsuits:

What about those filed after the 15 were dismissed? You really aren't very well informed for an agenda driven disinformationist. Or are you just an out and out liar?

Rick Snyder’s lawsuits:Rick Snyder’s lawsuits: Google is easy to use.

Then why didn't you post the exact numbers of lawsuits, Palinhater?

I believe you are too dumb to be embarrassed.

Please tell us. How many ethics complaints were filed after she claimed victory on the first 15?

You must have a hard time reading simple English, I never denied that Palin was important in the Cruz win, but Palin was also helpful in McCain getting a win as well.

And she supported Lugar against the TeaParty candidate.

So, all in all, she is about a wash in picking candidates.

Post your sources claiming her overall endorsements were a "wash".

She didn't "pick" candidates, she endorsed them and has had a very good record.

http://usconservatives.about.com/od/sarahpalin/tp/Sarah-Palins-Winning-Endorsements.htm

Of the 27 candidates Palin endorsed in 2009 and 2010, 22 of them earned victories
