BFD! 3 examples 2 governors! Wow!
Palin and the State of Alaska had to deal with 8 times as many in 2 years! You really are pathetic, Palinhater.
Yes, every governor gets sued over political issues.
Like you said, for most governors its not a BFD.... which is why the other governors don’t quit like she did. Look at Scott Walker, multiple lawsuits AND a recall election. Did he quit? No he stood up, fought and won.
That is the kind of leadership I want from a presidential candidate.
Totally different situation, Palinhater. You are either ignorant or purposely acting stupid. Which is it?
Palin is a commentator. Unless she ever becomes more than that, this whole discussion is useless.
Some people love Ann Coulter, some don’t. Some like Karl Rove, some don’t. Some like Sean Hannity. Some don’t.
Same with Sarah Palin.
So explain your obsession.
Some people love Ann Coulter, some don’t. Some like Karl Rove, some don’t. Some like Sean Hannity. Some don’t.
Were any of those three elected to political office....EVER?
Look, you are the one who, on this thread, claimed that she resigned “because of all of the frivolous lawsuits.”
I simply pointed out that they were not “lawsuits” They were “ethics complaints” that were all resolved favorably before she resigned. Sure a few more popped up over the next few years.... just like every other governor has gotten. But like you said, BFD.
You said that her legal bills were bankrupting her. I simply pointed out that her $600,000 in legal bills were dwarfed by her income from her multi million dollar book deal and her $100,000 speaking fee. Do the math.... a few weekends of speeches and her legal fees are gone.
Then you said that the Republican Party did nothing to help her. I simply pointed out that they paid her $250,000 for her legal bills in exchange for her help in the 2010 election.
She is a commentator. Period.
We can continue this conversation if she ever decides to do more than that. Now she is a sometimes commentator on Fox News. Some people like her, others don’t. NBD.
Otherwise, its just a waste of internet ink.
There were lawsuits and frivolous et6hics complaints. eight times as many in two years as your two e4xamples. I posted a link. Why are you acting like such a moron, or isn't it an act?
You said that her legal bills were bankrupting her
Where did I state that?
Then you said that the Republican Party did nothing to help her.
They didn't. The national GOP paid her to raise funds for them. She helped the national GOP.
She is a commentator. Period
You're a faux conservative and moron...period.
Look, she was dealt a poor hand. And she played it very badly if she ever wanted to become president.
If she ever does get the fire in the belly to run for president, I will wait to let her make her own case for it. She will be asked many, many times to explain why she quit. It will be interesting to see how she handles herself.
I agree that Sarah Palin is not the demon some people make her out to be. But she is certainly not the political savior that others make her out to be.
She seems to be happy and prosperous doing what she is doing now and I wish her well.
Why do you care? Why did the McCain and Romney camps trash her? http://townhall.com/tipsheet/amandacarpenter/2008/10/28/romney_supporters_trashing_palin
You're a faux conservative just like them.
Would he be a good president? I think so. Could he overcome his stereotype and actually win? I sincerely doubt it.
And you are wrong, misleading or off base about everything.
LOL!
No, her fanatic, deceived followers are pathetic.
No way Cruz wins without the TeaParty.
Now, while Palin's support was important to Cruz's win, the fact is that she has also supported some very bad candidates as well, such as McCain and Luger.
“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.”””
Did you not make this statement? "She supported a number of RINO candidates against TeaParty supported candidates" What was your inference?
Who has been deceived, pathetic emoter? Paultards?
I see one as bad as the other.
Who has been deceived, pathetic emoter?
