Palin had the power, and dare I say, the momentum to make a difference. But she chose not to fight.
That was her right, of course, to put family above politics. But every choice has a downside. Anything she says now carries much less weight, with me at least.
I still cannot understand the Left and even the Right’s hatred of a mother of 5 and a former Governor.
I will not waste keystrokes on the double-standard of the written, televised and internet press, it’s is clear, but why the hatred of someone who really hasn’t done anything other than resigning, to the negative?
I am still astounded at how Mrs. Palin is a lightning rod.
That was my point that the others missed.
Any freeper could have written that, and we all could come to harmonious agreement about the content.
Palin was the only one in the very unique position of being able to actually provide some justice to Brian Terry’s family.
Now, she merely comes across as one of those armchair quarterbacks who complain about the government but never bother to vote or get active in it.
Speaking of namecalling, John the Baptist called the Pharisees a “brood of vipers”.
I’m a fan of name calling in the circumstances where the label truly fits.
Palin did not take herself out of the fight. She just changed her battlefield.
Did you see what happened to Herman Cain for the past 2 weeks. While some people want to blame the current crop of candidates, you can bet the DNC and RNC had their fingers in this smear. The permanent political class has had since the election of 2010 to prepare for their assaults on conservative candidates because they have to destroy us to survive. Every candidate we run from President, to Senator, to Representative to dog catcher can expect to receive some degree of the Palin/Cain treatment.
Any freeper could have written that post? Would over 3 million people read it? Would it be discussed in the news and in the blogsphere? Would a freeper spend their time flying around this country making appearances, speeches and endorsements while at the same time being spit at, called the most vile of names, have their children threatened? And would that freeper never lose the smile on their face? This is going to be the dirtiest, nastiest election cycle ever. It is the fight Sarah is preparing to fight on the front lines.
Conservatives have got to stop eating their own. We have the Media, DNC and RNC to do that. This time the fate of the nation really is at stake. You can either support Sarah as she tries to help us keep the House and take the Senate, or you can stab her in the back.
