Sarah Palin sacrificed her job as Governor of Alaska - which she loved doing - because of the bevy of legal attacks from the left, filing one frivilous lawsuit after another, designed to throw her into bankruptcy.
As was required, the state of Alaska was having to foot the bill for a lot of the legal defense she needed, placing a burden on the state and totally consuming her time and energies as Governor. And in her wisdom, she called it right for the left was never going to stop harassing her and the state. You know the old saying, "When you're up to your ass in alligators, it's hard to remember you initial objective was to drain the swamp."
Any moron who has paid attention knows that Sarah Palin dearly loves Alaska, and I think it was not only courageous, but noble of her to step down and save the hassle and expense for the state.
Also, Clarence, the woman has five kids - one of them a special needs child - was she supposed to sit home on a diet of obama beans and franks when she needed the money for her family. Was she supposed to sign up for unemployment? She didn't "quit" the governorship to go to work for FOX news, FOX news offered her the consulting gig after she resigned.
Of course she took it, I would too, and so would you for the money they pay her. She walked her talk and went right out and found a way to be a productive citizen to feed her family and stay off the government dole.
To accept the liberal labels and talking points on people is really quite lazy and careless; the talking point about her being a "quitter" is just one of the many 100's the MSM are throwing around, and they are hoping that the headline readers out there will stake their entire judgement base on a single word or accusation. It's tantamount to saying "Bush's Fault" over and over.
Sarah Palin is about as busy and hard-working as a person can be getting out the word on conservatism and traveling all over the country (at her expense, not the state of Alaska...another savings), writing blogs, and endorsing conservatie candidates with 7 out of those 12 elected.
Now, having said all that, I would much rather know that someone is leading the country that actually cares about the country than another empty suit like Mitt Romney. He's a obamabot showboat whose main worry is if he is out of hairspray or not.
But there are a lot of people who just can't wrap their brains around a woman being President; it just galls a lot of guys out there, ya know. And the liberal women - well, you'd think Palin showed up for a party wearing the same dress as they had on. But up to this point, she has shown more courage and moxie and intelligence that most any of the field of "possibles" that are being paraded.
This board is peppered daily with anti-Palin propaganda and there are some on here that actually hate her...headline readers, no doubt.
Whether she runs for President or not, she has my admiration as a patriot to loves her country and doesn't back off from standing up and saying it...out loud and in yo' face. If she does run, she has my vote.
I'm really sorry that she doesn't suit you, and I find that people who don't like Palin have a penchant about posting it all over the place for the world to see. They are like members of a gay day parade who think people want to see their lovemaking in public. Chalk it up to exhibitionism, I guess.
The Palin-haters can't seem to just say, "Well, she's not my choice so I just won't vote for her.". No...it's got to be all the petty bitching about her voice tone, her accent, her delivery, her this and her that...nothing of substance, just lefty hate speech.
She had a stellar record as Governor of Alaska, and resigned to protect the state and her family from monumental expense from the left doing what they always do when they can't win on merit - politics of personal destruction.
I - on the other hand - listen to WHAT she says and not HOW she says it...at least she doesn't have to read a teleprompTer.
I also listen to a lot of other people besides Katie Couric and all the other lefty harpies out there who didn't make the cheerleader squad in high school and are still filled with hate.
So, Clarance, you do what you will, but I endeavored to tell you why I think that blind headline-hatred without the facts is not my cup of TEA.
