A staltwart patriot does not run from law suits.

If you think she "ran" from those lawsuits, you're sadly uninformed.

She would have stood and fought them, if a judge hadn't declared her legal defense fund to be illegal. She wasn't a rich person. Her family had no way on earth to pay the monumental legal bills that the frivolous lawsuits were generating.

Had she stayed on anyway, she wouldn't have been able to do her job as Governor (which she already couldn't, due to the constant barrage of lawsuits), and she would have been driven into personal bankruptcy.

The liberal attack machine had her cornered, and she had no way to fight back and win. Had she remained in office, she would have failed the people of her state, and she would have failed her own family by putting them in the poor house.

There were only two ways out of that fight for Sarah. One way would have been to succumb to the left's attacks on her, by playing ball with them and compromising every ideal she's ever stood for. She herself would have survived well, had she just gone to the 'dark side' in some back room deal, but she didn't do that.

She took the least obvious, and most difficult route, which was to step down for the good of her state, and her family. Once she moved off the position of Governor, the attack machine couldn't touch her, but it cost her, and she knew that.

A staltwart patriot does not shirk her duty and turn tail to earn millions in speaking fees.

That left-wing talking point isn't even worthy of a rebuttal, and you ought to be ashamed for even making it.

Not convinced. Maybe she can do another reality show, save some pennies and run again.
