THE ISSUE: Whether presidential candidates today have character, as their predecessors did. In looking for a president with the character of Dwight Eisenhower, Harry Truman and Ronald Reagan, Ralph Peters asks, "Will we ever again have a president who didn't go to an Ivy League school, who knows what it's like to struggle -- as so many Americans struggle every day -- and who's tasted defeat, but got back in the ring with his dukes up?" ("Why Our 'Post-Modern Presidents' Fail,").
The answer is "yes." Her name is Sarah Palin. etc...

Notice the silence. They can’t admit WHY Palin left he Governorship either. She left because the legal attacks on HER were costing the State she was responsible for big money and the State had no protection in law against legal terrorism — harassment by lawsuit after lawsuit.
Sarah knew the pockets financing those lawsuits had spent many 100’s of millions first attacking GWB and then electing the fraud, Obama. With no ‘shielding’ under Alaskan law, she could no longer subject Alaska to such expense.
The deranged — here and elsewhere — seem to believe that Ronald Reagan would have bankrupted California had he needed to defend himself against such unchecked legal terrorism. But more likely Reagan would have done the same thing Palin did.
You are female, right?
______________________________________
It has been documented that Palin did not meet with thr Russians regarding trade or any other issues during her time as Governor or before. So, what is your point.
Why, you lonely?
Horse manure. She claimed costs to the state of $1.9 million, most of which turned out to be salaries that would have been paid regardless. That was out of a budget of about $7 billion dollars.
Even if you buy into the absurd $1.9 million figure, that's approximately 0.03% of the state budget.
Are you calling Sarah a liar?
I got you kids hangin’ old man!
The absurd $1.9 million dollar figure included her time estimates on how long she spent answering questions. That's pretty "creative" accounting.
Great opinion you have since you were the gov. in waiting!
Is English your second language?
does it matter?
Only if you’re interested in constructing a sentence that means something...
What’s ridiculous is putting the corrupt, leftist, incompetent (sound familiar?) Truman in the same sentence as Ronald Reagan. Truman wasn’t fit to sell Ronald Reagan a suit.
Maybe you would like to enlighten me on how you came to the assumption that Sarah sandbagged on her estimation on possible costs that would be incrued by her remaining the Governor of Alaska as opposed to her resigning? Please steer me in the correct direction oh wiser than most!!!
Is Sarah Palin not a realist if she decides to run ?
Uh...
I must have missed your most enlightening response!
My mistake!
I believe she is a Christian Woman. and I believe God brought her on the national stage at the right time for the right reasons. Time will tell..
Palin administration officials provided the Daily News with a breakdown of what it says are $1.9 million in costs. Most if it is a per-hour accounting of the time state employees, such as state attorneys, have spent working on public records requests, lawsuits, ethics complaints, and issues surrounding the Legislature’s “Troopergate” investigation last summer of Palin.
“Is it a check that we wrote, no, but is it staff hours, yes,” Sharon Leighow, spokeswoman for Palin, said of the expenses related to state employee work.
Those state employees would have been paid regardless.

Don't beat yourself up. She's taken in a lot of gullible people.
