That is just awesome. You articulated what so many of us have been feeling about this election. For me, I'll vote R for nostalgia sake.
Gov. Palin DID NOT abdicate any governorship.
AND she is far smarter than the backstabber Romney
who threw Election 2008 to Obama.
Take your falsehoods back to your Master, Mr.RomneyCARE.
So the person thinks of Sarah and asks why or why? That I will give them. After all it is a blog.
However as I mention in my post, it is apples and oranges in my mind as I argue in my post.
They can hit Sarah all they want--she is a unique individual that is very much in the moment--this is also what makes her so charismatic and fierce. She's real and measured as well and some people are used to a different leadership style that is more conformist than Sarah is.
I think she is truly as much a gift from God to the conservative movement as is Scott Walker. Both have shifted the evil in the world with their courage, strength, and conviction.
oh yeah and I agree . . . the left is getting VERRRRRRY WoRRRRRRRRIED! :-D
You have no idea about what you’re talking about. Go get a clue.
Trolling today, I see.
For many reasons, I don't think we will ever see her leave her home state of Alaska - for anything - that is, for other than a quick trip for an appearance.
She and her husband love the place, and I can understand why. It is nothing like the 'lower 48' - and most of the people who live there are nothing like the rabid folks in too many of the '48.'
She has made a small fortune since leaving the governorship, her husband is tied to a life in Alaska as much, or maybe more so than she is. And, she continues to pull in big bucks sitting where she really wants to be.
I like that for her, and her family.
I personally think the Wisconsin fight was a far more important fight and Scott Walker had a far more solid base of support. That said, they are going to continue trying to eliminate Walker.
As far as Sarah Palin is concerned, she made the decision she felt she had to make. We all have to do the same.
That doesn't even make sense.
I think you meant to say John McCain, because John McCain was the GOP candidate against Barack Obama and John handed the Presidency to Barack on a GOLDEN PLATTER. Ball less John I call 'em. What a freak he was SUSPENDING HIS CAMPAIGN? GIve me a break. The guy just crawled in a ball.
Yup. Not to worry - there'll be a fresh batch of suckers soon enough.
They've ruined a perfectly good candidate with over adulation.
There seems to be a problem with contextual assessment as well.
Sending reporters to Alaska to investigate if she pretended to give birth to her daughter's child. Leaked stories about unauthorized use of campaign funds to cloth her family. Traitors in the McCain campaign who were responsible for a poorly run campaign blaming her for the loss. Unending frivolous lawsuits in Alaska they were draining her personal finances. A media avalanche blaming her in part for the shooting of Gaby Giffords and beating her down when she dared to defend herself. And most recently an HBO movie which insinuated she was mentally ill.
The fact that she is still standing and has the courage to put herself out in public to voice her opinion amazes me.
Palin was attacked with numerous personal lawsuits. Walker hasn’t had that challenge - yet.
The one thing that I hope we don’t see (again) is Palin dragging out her decision while her very motivated and enthusiastic base destroys other conservative candidates believing they are doing something good (clearing the path for Palin).
The difference between Walker and Palin is that Walker’s family wasn’t insulted and demonized.
“The one thing that I hope we dont see (again) is Palin dragging out her decision while her very motivated and enthusiastic base destroys other conservative candidates believing they are doing something good (clearing the path for Palin).”
That was more of a problem with some of her fans than Palin herself.
Too bad.
She could have cleared her name, fought her legal battles, and bought air time.
But, she was already beaten and bloodied, she is a woman w/kids, she was a rookie, she was far away, and she had bad blood with her State GOP.
So the Republican Party hung her out to dry. And even ran against her in 2010.
