I have read that almost from the day she took office, she was repeatedly sued by liberals, under a stupid Alaskan law that allows these type of lawsuits, and that the state GOP refused to contribute to her defense because she had atacked the GOB GOPe.
My understanding was, it completely had to do with her selection as John McCain’s running mate in 2008.
She originally had the highest popularity of any governor of any state, in the entire United States. Something north of 90% I believe.
When she was picked by McCain and ran as the Vice Presidential candidate that year she was wildly popular. Then of course, she became enemy number one to the democrats and a serious threat to the democrats.
When McCain did not win the election, and Palin returned to Alaska, the environment there changed completely. Palin had become enemy number one to the entire democrat party. She was sued, and sued, and sued, and Alaska law left her actually defending against all of the now numerous lawsuits. So finally one weekend (I still remember the exact moment I heard it) Palin announced she would step down from her position as governor.
What had happened was, the single most popular governor in America had become the most visible threat in all of America. And the democrat party attacked.
Again I am just operating on memory, and what I understood at the time. She realized she would be sued to the point of ruination, and decided to stand down.
I myself, believe it was all because she was recognized as a national political threat by the entire liberal establishment.
To this day, I still believe Palin was completely railroaded, from the moment Palin was selected by McCain as the GOP Vice Presidential candidate.
From her very first interview (Couric I think) the media was out to nail her to the wall. They threw everything they had in their entire quiver at her, yet she did ok under the assault. The GOP lack of support was in my opinion completely without any excuse. The GOP was every bit as non-supportive as democrats, in some ways.
To this day, I believe McCain’s choice was nothing short of complete brilliance. I give him huge support for seeing, and choosing Palin as his running mate.
But he seems to have for some reason, folded after than original brilliant choice.
Palin will forever support McCain now, as a result of this. Don’t ever expect anything less from Palin. But she is a very, very, very strong former Governor, and would be the single strongest GOP candidate for president in the entire United States.
If she runs.
Bar none. I am completely pro-Palin. She has not stood down this time around yet.
Last time, it was the beginning of November I believe when she did. So we have quite a while yet.
But she’s not actively pursuing the office this time around that I have seen.
Not yet.
I have read that almost from the day she took office, she was repeatedly sued by liberals, under a stupid Alaskan law that allows these type of lawsuits, and that the state GOP refused to contribute to her defense because she had attacked the GOB GOPe.
So you read this and still make the snarky comment about her feelings being hurt? Do you have a reading comprehension problem, or are just here to start crap?
Let’s hope the Democrat party doesn’t try to sue you into bankruptcy one day. Wouldn’t want to see what happens to your life.
