Ummm... Hazel Eyed Aquarian.... Dream big, she shall, the force and will is strong with this one....
Trust me, I know about Hazel Eyed Aquarians....
So you agree with me that Sarah Palin’s actions following her Governorship have been unselfish and not greedy.
Seriously, dude. Drawing a parallel between someone having their belly slit open, their intestines pulled out with a hook and placed on a brazier to burn in front of their eyes, followed by being beheaded and their body cut into quarters, and ANYTHING that has happened to Sarah Palin is beyond ridiculous. Try to maintain a grip on reality.
No.

Excuse my previous one word reply, I was interupted.
I do not agree with your statement. The majority of palin's activities since walking away from her elected position early have been geared very specifically toward personal self-enrichment.
I was not there at any of the negotiations for her books, TV shows or speaking engagements so I cannot say if she behaved in a greedy fashion but that doesn't matter because I never said she was greedy.
In that case, what is the limit ex-Governors can earn without being guilty of personal self-enrichment?
Right here is where your case lives or dies.

I'll try to explain this to you one last time, after that you may chase your own tail to your heart's content.
In spite of your continued mis-statement of that which I have clearly stated I have not made a case or argued a position or engaged in debate about some subjective opinion.
Much if not most of palin's activities since quitting her elected position half-way through her term have been directed towards personal financial gain. The TV deals, book signings and high-price speaking gigs kind of prove that.
Now if you want to argue that feel free but I think you'd have a better chance for success if you were to limit yourself to the above suggested tail-chasing.
The other person is just another politician.
I’m only helping you to understand your own thinking—how could that be so bad?
Your criticism of Palin is the following: she has engaged in “personal financial gain” since leaving office, and this is a reason not to support her or is some strike against her, or something.
So if the pursuit of “personal financial gain” is the wrong thing for ex-Governors to do, what exactly are the limits?
That’s all I’m asking. Once you’re able to answer it in a straighforward and sincere manner, in all likelihood you’ll experience the peace of mind that comes with a more thorough grasp of your own thoughts.
But Palin has moved her troops forward against a more powerful enemy.
More powerful than Longshanks was to the Scots back in that day? C'mon. Think.
And Palin doesn't - and should have troops. It's OUR jobs as individuals to think for ourselves, weigh the policies, look at the facts, and make our own individual decisions in our elections and tactics to take out Obama.
Let’s not kid ourselves. We’re up against the worldwide Marxist front. Yes, more powerful than a medieval king on horseback.
And Palin is Obama’s Wallace.
She has troops, whether you like it or not. On the battlefield, the tension always shifts from individualism to collectivism. Without exception.
So in this battlefield in our minds and hearts, we are the troops led by anyone who carries our Constitution. Palin, West, Bachmann and DeMint are among the very few who have never dropped it.
we are the troops led by anyone
Who's we? I lead myself. Politicians, my reps, work for me. I'm part of the board of directors. Shareholders. Boss. If this politician does a good job, I vote to hire/retain the politician. If not, I vote to terminate, like I did Mark Schauer, then I will.
The problem with society is that too many people are weak, are followers, do not think for themselves, and fall for cult of personalities, charismatic politicians, and celebrity politicians. That's how we got Obama, and Billy before that.
No, marxism is not a “treat.” Marxism is a lie, and its followers are twofold: useful idiots and tyrants. Both tread the path of foolishness.
To any weakling who forfeits their ability to think for themselves by letting Charles Krauthammer and Karl Rove define Sarah Palin, I say Stand up boy! and fight your own battles.
To any follower who lets George W. Bush or his family define what the tea party is, I say get a grip. Think for yourself.
Understand Sarah Palin by paying attention to Sarah Palin.
To you I say, truth does not flow from the language of man. It’s the other way around.
I don't give a rat's butt what Krauthammer, Rove, Bush or any of the talking heads think about Palin, or what Palin thinks about them. They are all politicians who run their mouths. I look at what they've done, not what they say.
To you I say, truth does not flow from the language of man. It’s the other way around.
Truth comes from actions, not language, not words. Palin quit. That was an action. When the pressure was too high as governor of Alaska, she bailed. Yes, I know how the lawsuits worked there. No, I don't care as she could make $500000 easily on the speaker's circuit. She could have also simply said she wasn't running for re-election. That way, she'd finish her contract after a full term instead of quitting. If she couldn't handle that, how can she handle being president?
Maybe it wasn’t that she “couldn’t handle it,” but that she thought it was best for the people of Alaska.
This is a strong possibility, based on the facts. Sure, I want to believe it because I’m a fan. But you have to admit its very likely regardless.
Given the fact that Palin has been able to handle far more onslaught since then and still remain poised on camera while discussing it, its even more believable that the “couldn’t handle it” theory is unlikely.
