The real reason Palin quit as Alaska Governor?
She knows that, and has said that she likes the knock-down drag-out of primaries because the issues are laid out there for everyone to see, and folks have all the information on which to make their decision.
Better than a South Side Chicago Thug Community Organizer.
We have no idea what will happen over the next two years. Sarah Palin may crash and burn, or she may rise and bring tens of millions along with her. I wouldn’t encourage making any definitive statements either way, this far out.
You mean like GWB? He was a cheerleader.
Palin never was.
It wasn't the personal attacks, or those attacks on her family, that drove her resignation. As she's stated, she's a big girl and can handle the personal attacks. She was annoyed with the attacks on her family, because it was clear that the MSM wasn't saying anything about the Obama kids, because they considered them off-limits, but didn't afford her family that same courtesy.
It was the attempt at economic ruin for her family, and for the families of her staff members that drove her to resign. It was clear that the frivilous charges would not stop as long as she was in office, and she had noted that they didn't begin until AFTER she was picked to be McCain's running mate. She'd already been in office a year and a half, with NO charges filed against her before being chosen as Veep. Candidate.
When most folks understand the background behind what was going on in AK, they begin to understand, and agree with Sarah's decision.
I think it is time to go to bed...it is hard to discuss things when literal and figurative language is not understood. LOL! Goodnight Freepers.
Well, as someone who seems to have liberal leanings and is hostile to common-sense women, I have no doubt that you find the value of motherhood a laugh.
I remember the same thing having been said about Jimmah Carter, when he ran for the Presidency in 1976.
I don't believe Haley is interested, and I'm pretty sure his wife CERTAINLY isn't.
I prefer someone who is strong on the issues of smaller government, lower taxes and reduced spending, even if he or she is not a smooth talker.
Thank you for posting the Attorney’s comments.
Interesting statement, because the libs and the MSM droned on constantly about Reagan's 'folksy' manner, and how inappropriate that was for a potential President.
If you think Reagan was pro life at age 50, document it.
I know Palin is!
They libs will pay for that and I want to remind you freepers with the same tired out rants, Sarah is on GOD'S side and that will be the difference. If she runs!!
No, it won't be anything like that.
You haven't seen anything yet.
Who is your candidate? You can’t beat somebody with nobody.
Haven't decided yet.
No, things lame cartoon shows that set her off. Don't think her opponents from both parties didn't notice that and file it away for future reference.
President Reagan served as California’s governor from 1967-1975, a state with a huge economy and work force (at the time). He cut his teeth in national politics with two bids for the White House in ‘68 and ‘76, prior to winning the nomination in ‘80.
I can take ‘folksy’ with credentials. She QUIT her job, not just any job, but a public office that individuals invested time and money to elect her. Sorry, I just can’t get past that.
Wow, aren't you friendly.
“They have already tried that. Mitt Romney couldn’t rip a spinach salad to shreds.
You haven’t seen anything yet.”
Are you kidding? she has taken every shot they have and come back stronger.
What are you guys at Romney Central planning? Hitting her with wet noodles? I am sure she is terrified at the thought of facing a “real” man like Mitt.
