And how did Sarah respond after "quitting?" She hit the ground running and helped forge a national grassroots movement which gave rise to a new political force in American politics: the TEA Party.
And what was the result? The TEA Party-led Republicans scored historic victories in the 2010 midterm elections and took the House by storm.
Sarah has shown more than enough leadership and executive savvy. The "quitter" moniker simply doesn't apply, and it is the height of propaganda when viewed in the overall context of her career before, during and after her time as governor.
Sarah didn't need to stay in her state and be kept in a box by her foes. She rightly recognized that it was time to lead a national charge towards restoring our Free Republic. So she sidestepped them and became the national phenomenon which she still is, and she has produced impressive results.
In Sarah Palin, there hasn't been a more passionate and potent threat to the Establishment of both parties in my lifetime, and I was born in 1965. There is no politician in the nation whom I trust more, even though I might disagree on some details.
That's really what it comes down too, isn't it?
TRUST
I trust her because she put the people of Alaska before herself. I trust her to do the same thing for the nation.
Nothing against Sarah, but I didn't get involved in the Tea Party because she lead me to do so. I got involved because I was sick of irresponsible federal spending.
Yes, Sarah and I share the same views on that, but I can't say that she was my "leader" in deciding to take action.
