Kev, pushing (or even nodding along to) the claim that Palin didn't run because "she's making so much money now", is simply going into agreement with (or committing) vile character assassination against one our nation's most stalwart patriots.
That particular claim smacks of liberal class envy and is a not-so covert invalidation of her motivations in life and the very essence of her person.
After having had her laundry turned inside out for four years now, she's been proven to be among the rarest of public servants we've ever seen. The woman is almost unnaturally squeaky clean, and has honestly given her very best, in a career of service to her community, her state, and her nation.
Succumb to the temptation to join in the 'thousand cuts' frenzy if you must, but I won't be there with you. Sarah may be due my criticisms for faltering when it most counted - when the course of our country was on the line, but I won't stoop to demeaning her for pursuing a livelihood.

***bull shiite. She made a decision and this was probably part of what was involved in the decision. It’s valid. Just because you don’t like it, doesn’t mean it is character assassination. That’s classic hyperbole.
That particular claim smacks
***Why should I care what it smacks of? I’m a Palin supporter, and I’m real about it.
of liberal class envy and is a not-so covert invalidation
***bull shiite. It is a VALIDATION, not an Invalidation of her motivations.
of her motivations in life and the very essence of her person.
***You’re trying real hard to sound lofty, but your rhetoric is invalid. It does not invalidate the very essence of her person. Geez, get over yourself. Palin has the right to make these kinds of decisions.

***I agree. Duhh.
The woman is almost unnaturally squeaky clean, and has honestly given her very best, in a career of service to her community, her state, and her nation.
***She’s a conservative. That’s why she was targeted. She had very little backing from republicans and the republican party.

***I have not. You, however, have succumbed to the temptation to hyperbolize.
but I won’t be there with you.
***Good, because I’m not there, in spite of your classic fallacy of straw argumentation.
Sarah may be due my criticisms for faltering when it most counted
***And yet you hyperbolize another conservative’s position when slight criticisms have been brought up.
- when the course of our country was on the line, but I won’t stoop to demeaning her for pursuing a livelihood.
***Since when is a 1-sentence statement (a truthful statement, at that) ‘demeaning’ someone. You say right here that she was pursuing a livelihood, so using your hyperbolizing and polemic approach, I should be telling you to go to hell for succumbing to the temptation to the same stuff you accuse me of doing.
