What happened to Sarah Palin is a political game changer on the national level. It also may be a preview of what every American may face in a few years.
The 18 ethics charges filed since she rose to prominence in Republican circles might be the first time the left has successfully used the Cloward-Piven Strategy to stop an individual politician on the national level.
For those who do not know, the strategy was developed in the late 1960s by two sociologists at Columbia. In a nutshell it seeks to "hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse".
It was implemented in NYC where activists on the left lobbied for new social programs then worked to fill the rosters. By the early 1970s there was one person on welfare for every two working in NYC. This nearly resulted in NYC declaring bankruptcy in 1975, averted only by a federal emergency loan.

And the public wonders why conservatives tend to stay away from politics. It's an ugly game played by nasty people who know no rules or boundaries.
I'm reminded of the opening lines from The Chronicles of Riddick. To paraphrase...
Usually, evil is confronted by good. Sometimes, evil must be met by a different kind of evil.
Evil prospers when good men do nothing.
Doing the right thing isn't always easy, but it's ALWAYS right!
Now things are getting serious.
Remind me. How many colleges did she “quit”?
I’m wondering Palin’s action is a case of retreat and regroup, or of taking the football and going home.
We’ll see.
And sometimes in a fight, it is necessary to parry.
Palin Parried.
Can’t wait for the thrust.
State level. The national level is now Palin's stage.
Was it just Harvard Kennedy was thrown out of?
Excuse me .. Sarah WON against all the charges.
I don’t see as how the left won anything .. in fact, this harassment by the left has only propelled her into the spotlight and exposed the left for their mean spirtedness.
?
The charges were dismissed but the legal costs were there.
‘Getting serious’? Are you serious? ... The democrat party has been run by dead-soul people for so long that the American voters who keep returning these scum to office don’t and cannot discern the deadness in the soul of pols like Waxman, Boxer, Kennedy, Harkin, Reid, Pelosi, Obama, etc. Until Americans stand up to the thuggery of the democrap party and its fifth column enemedia, and openly shame them for their filthiness, ‘serious’ isn’t even on the radar.
He is going to have a bumpy ride

I don’t assume everyone wants to put themselves and their families through the meat grinder of our politics. Hillary and Bill trained Chelsea as a child to understand nasty things would be said - I thought it sounded like child abuse - but they all knew it was coming and obviously they considered their ambition more important than their daughter’s chance at a normal life. Maybe Sarah doesn’t want to go about it that way. Maybe she’ll be a force but as an independent citizen. I think she can do a lot that way.
We’ll see. Personally, if Sarah were my sister I’d probably tell her to enjoy her family and her life. Who needs the misery. That being said, I really wish she’d go for it to save us from the dirty rats.
I’m so happy to be away from their clutches. These people are going to destroy all that was good in America.
Yes, I knew that!
And .. now that she is not encumbured by the governorship, she can travel the lower states and gather in great sums of money to relieve her of that debt.
In the meantime, she can show the rest of the country her genuine self .. and let people know who she is .. not the characterization of the left.
Remind me of the colleges the Bushes, Clintons, and Obama didn't quit. Could they be Yale and Harvard??? Hmmmm!
Nor do I recall her books saying she "did a little blow when she could afford it."
