Get the facts. Alaska's new ethics law contained a loophole that allowed anyone to bring about any allegation with the burden of proof on the public office. The state or any administration couldn't intervene on behalf of Palin, which means she had to pay the costs HERSELF. Palin racked up a $500,000 legal bill defending herself from the lawsuits.
If she would have "stayed and taken the heat," she would have been flat-broke and the lamest of lame ducks and totally taken out of any 2012 political consideration. Not to mention that Alaska was wasting millions looking into these false charges instead of using the money to benefit the state.
Nobody ran Palin out of office. She ran away from a political fight on her own volition.
The only alternative was for Palin to resign. The harassment and false charges did indeed drive her out of power.
She has a place in the Republican Party. But that place is not in office
Typical, pat on the head thinking. She should cheerlead and raise money but forget about running for the top spot. I vehemently disagree. I believe that Palin is suited to be President, and many others will agree with me.
How can we let the anti Palin drolls (and I do mean drolls) divide us so much that we really are eating our own! What is wrong with this site these days? Can no one see what is happening and how the libs and ron Paul types are giving us enough rope so that we silence our own conservatives?
I don't want to hear from all the Palin haters how FR doesn't allow any criticism of Palin. HA! Looks to be the other way around. What a disgrace.
The Gov. Brewer/Palin news conference today reinforced what SoCalpol has been saying all along!
You seem to be saying that Alaska's new ethics law isn't really ethical. Which governor signed that piece of legislation into law?
