since John McCain plucked her from the rural obscurity of Wasilla?
She was governor, and was heavily covered in the region, and managed to make a LOT of the right kind of enemies. She did a LOT more in two years in Alaska than Biden did in 20+ in the Senate.

Yep, she made money from selling her populism, not through insider trading.
She does nothing different than a movie star in selling their acting talents just as I sell my talents of engineering design consulting and racing data analysis.

This schmuck rambles like Johnny Appleseed. Starts ragging on Palin for making money from her bookwriting, and ends by decrying the generations-in-the-making result of indoctrinating our kids throughout their educational process with Anti-American revisionist bullshit.
I would comment that the author seems aware that he should dislike something, but his Liberal Mental Disease prevents him being able to put his finger on what "IT" is. The guy is a lost, empty, pointless, rambling imbecile... another sad victim of Liberal Indoctrination. A wasted human life.

The media and a spiteful b1tch in Alaska who kept filing ethics complaints against her in Alaska made Palin.
If they had left her alone after her VP run she would have gone back to being Governor and eventually gone back to being a housewife. But no: They had to try to destroy her.

Take Sarah, Corruption in Congress and insider trading, stuff it in a mental blender with a few choice drugs and out pukes this article. Unfortunately, like most profound revelations while toking weed, they are not so profound in black and white when the high wears off.
I would not mind if Congress Men made money selling books like Sarah did. But then, they would have to be smart enough to write books people would read.
So its a darn far reach to try to link Sarah's success at book writing to insider trading via influence peddling. Not quite the same thing as book writing. The two meet, well, nowhere in logic without very powerful drugs.
Cheap and sleezy may sell headlines, but books need content.

I was one of Sarah's biggest fans. Going out of my way to vigorously defend her whenever she got mocked by those who get all their info from MSM soundbites. I am now, however, deeply disappointed in her. My common sense instincts tell me that deep down she knew long ago she was not running for president. My best guess is that she put off a conscious decision and announcing it because, seriously, what would've her books, speeches, etc. been worth if she announced her intentions previously? Right now I have very little interest in what she has to say, and I'm fairly certain cash registers would've said the same thing if she announced her decision awhile ago. I think she got a little comfortable with her new found fortune and lost the driving edge that I loved about her. She's fully entitled to take the path that she has taken. But I like this website because people aren't afraid to express their opinions. That's mine. Go Cain! All of Sarah's views but he gave up a comfortable life to get into the fight.

"How do politicians who arrive in Washington, D.C., as men and women of modest means leave as millionaires? How do they miraculously accumulate wealth at a rate faster than the rest of us?"
________________________________________________
"Accumlate wealth faster than the rest of us"?
This from the woman who made $10-12 million within two years after quitting?
How can she say this without gagging? How can you post it without laughing?

Answer...
They swiftly begin to corrupt themselves with freebies, then entitlements!
Next thing they know, they vote with democrates because democrates can down right steal without being jailed.
Finally, they end up asking us to forgive them for being corrupt. But when that fails, they vote side by side with the corrupt democrates in retaliation for being accused as the corrupt POS they swore they would never be!
TERM LIMITS NOW!

Newt did make money as a lobbyist. Newt is definitely not a man of honor. I am not happy with him as the frontrunner.
