also, the DEMS and PUBS at the Alaska state house shut her out of the legislature and wouldn’t pass anything from her docket. The Dems were on orders from DC not to help her or risked getting primaried. The Pubs wanted to go back to the good old days of the CBC (corrupt bastards club).
She was getting into debt, locked out of the statehouse, getting smeared and nothing was getting done.....and no one (McCain’s campaign or the RNC) lifted a finger to help. After the Gifford’s shooting the RNC was as useless as teets on a bull.
To all of the naysayers and backbiters...when your candidate gets the bum’s rush and you need help and support (man the phones, canvass the districts, etc.,) don’t come asking me for help. You pissed on my leg and told me it was raining.
Believe me, I know. The GOP/RNC didn’t lift the tiniest finger to help one of their own, when she was being deliberately bankrupted by Dem operatives, when her church was set afire, when she and her family were being dragged through the tabloid mud, and Hollywood scumbags were making ‘rape’ jokes about her underage daughter.
So, then in 2010, Palin goes all-out for the GOP, crossing the country over and over, getting candidates elected, and helping the Party take back the House. How is she repaid? Well, the newsmedia accuses her of complicity in the mass-murder in Arizona, and once again, the GOP is nowhere to be found, quietly letting her be raking over the coals once again.
I’ve been a Republican my entire life, voting exclusively GOP, but these past three years really opened my eyes to what a cowardly, loathesome bunch of creeps run the Party.
