She should have taken those kids to a military Hospital so they could see those who decided that even though they also loved their children, they understood that their duty was to our nation and the millions of people who depend on them....
Sacrificing for the country is taking care of your kids......a leader goes places where others are not sure where to go.....and I hear in Sarah's voice in the Bob and Mark show how MUCH she wanted to run....
If Sarah had entered she would have gotten $50 million dollars the first day, or more.....
Sarah should re-examine her decision and change her mind for our America...her kids will understand later.....
Welcome back brother, where ya been for the past six years?
I think that she concluded that Herman Cain will win the nomination if she is not in the race and that she will endorse him in the not too distant future; certainly before the major primaries.
Can’t say I really any differences in their positions of the substantive issues.
She said it well: God, family, country.
In that order.
Good for the kids.
Palin is still a young woman with plenty of time to politic in the future. She needs to run for Senate or perhaps serve in a new administration, stay involved but be there for the kids until they’re grown.
She’s a star, but she wisely realizes that this is not the time.
I think this family as a whole understands what sacrifice is. Sarah’s son Track enlisted in the Army and did a tour in Iraq, and she and Todd are parents of a special needs child. That in itself is a heavy responsibility. She deserves to live her life the way she wants, not at the whim of her fans. Respect her choice and move on.
She already said she will not do that.
indylindy, perhaps you should mind your own business and refrain from commenting when you don’t know the facts. mkjessup was on Palin threads just two days ago being a complete @ss to any/all Palin supporters and generally making as many rude comments as possible about Palin. I found it in extremely bad taste since many people were hurting that night, but mkjessup just had to keep it up. You understand that because you do the same thing quite often. I asked mkjessup to give it a rest for 24 hours and was told to “Stuff it, punk.” So can your holier-than-thou attitude lindy.
Give it up man, she’s not running, and at this point, she’d be a laughing stock if she tried to jump in. You’re just making a fool of yourself with these comments.
She’s not going to; even if she had a change of heart, it’s far too late. No one will ever look at her through the same lenses again. The trust is gone.
There was a time when “Children should be seen and not heard” was common philosphy in this country. Now the kids are treated like mini-adults.
I still can’t believe that she isn’t going to run. I feel like I have dreamed that she isn’t going to run, and I need to wake up. I wouldn’t mind if she announced this a few months ago.
I am so over Sarah Palin.
“Boy am I glad the founders didnt make their decisions to support this infant country and the revolution that preceeded it based on the emotions or desires of their children, or even whether or not the children would be put through hell.”
How true. I try to imagine my dad making a career decision based on a family vote. Not. What a pathetic cop-out for Palin. If she’s that weak, then it’s better to know that now rather than two or three years from now.
