Why do you assume Palin puts her own personal needs and desires ahead of things like serving her country?
Her words and deeds throughout the years have proven she acts with the heart of a servant.
Just a hunch, I guess.
April 15, 2010: Sarah Palin income 12 million dollars since leaving office
Palin and Gosselin in the Mother of All Reality Shows
Palin will not even sign her own books for one of her supporters unless that supporter dishes out even more money to buy Bristol's book too.
Sarah Palin was at the Mall of America (largest mall in the U.S.) on June 29, 2011 along with Bristol, for a book signing and the conduct was very telling.
Here were the rules laid down for the book signing:
Bristol Palin with Special Guest Sarah Palin Book Signing Wednesday, June 29, 2011 5 p.m. Rotunda
Look at Rule Number 4.
"4. You must have a copy of “Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far” in order to purchase a copy of “America by Heart” and/or “Going Rogue” signed by Sarah Palin."
In order words, if a potential Palin voter wanted to purchase a Sarah Palin book and have it signed, Sarah Palin would refuse to sign it unless that individual also bought a copy of Bristol's book describing losing her virginity in a drunken coed camping trip.
No additional money for Bristol's book = No Sarah autograph on Sarah's own book.
That is not the behavior of an individual that is trying to court voters.
That is the behavior of a family that is cashing in and trying to maximize their profit.
Politicians who are truly running and truly want to endear themselves to as many voters as possible do everything they can to reach out and please as many voters as possible.
The Palins, however, do everything they can to maximize the income. .... Even refusing to sign a Sarah Palin book unless money is spent on Bristol.
