F&F’s Gretchen was bemoaning how Sarah let down her ability to keep reminding her daughter of female role models in politics who don’t quit...one, Hillary the Democrat and two, Sarah the Republican. Now Sarah went and ruined the balance.
Gretchen is factually wrong. Hillary quit being Senator to run for President then quit running to endorse Barack and accept an embarassingly nothing role in HIS government. Compared to Hillary, Sarah is a rock of consistency.
Gretchen is wrong as well to personalize Sarah’s decision in terms of herself and her daughter. Sarah isn’t there so Gretchen can use her. She’s there for real, substantive reasons in her own right.
Gretchen is ridiculous.
But ohhhhhhh so seriously somehow involved in what Sarah is up to.
How dare Sarah disappoint Gretchen!
To the article, I wonder why the writer referred to Bristol as facing single motherhood and “a failed marriage”?
Failure to marry is not quite the same as a failed marriage. Strange.
To the article’s take on Sarah’s decision, who knows?
I’ve read that Sarah knows this country is done unless we the American people grab these statist clowns by the throat (figure of speech) right now, and THAT is why she’s leaving the governorship to lead the movement.
As horrible as things are, I see the latter as being more the case.
We are about to see Sarah’s view unfold.
If she stays home with family and lets the catastrophe play out, or if she leads the movement to arrest it in progress...
She’s resigned from a position before when she realized she couldn’t do the job the way she wanted to. That led to her eventually being elected governor.
Way too soon to write her off, IMO.
Your facts are in error. Hillary continued as Senator while running for president, after dropping out, after endorsing Obama, and after he was elected. She didn't resign from the senate until late January 2009.
