“I am still concerned that the big issue ... is her resigning from her office as Governor.”

The only way that is a big issue or an issue of any kind IMO is if it is viewed as what I call a “bumper sticker” sound-bite item.

Did or did not BHO resign his Senate seat to run for pres?

At the time, she was buried under 15-16 frivolous lawsuits, ALL of which have since been thrown out of court, but which 100% guaranteed she (eg; her family) would be facing bankruptcy from legal bills. Her ability to govern was trashed by the time demands of having to defend against those suits. This isn’t rumor, this isn’t spin, those lawsuits are a matter of factual record. The invoices from the law firms are real; lawyers don’t work for free.

That she then took the opportunity to write her book and appear on TV and to profit therefrom is what, different than anyone else would do? Would it be better if this was Soviet Russia and she decided to have dancing bear in public parks and beg for rubles? She took lemons and made lemonade. Don’t like it? Don’t buy her book. It is a story of American ingenuity and American opportunity seized. If it is not wrong for BHO to take advantage of 11 instances of affirmative action, then how is it wrong for SP to take advantage of the freedoms including economic freedoms available in the America we cherish?

Don’t allow yourself to be spun, my FRiend. She took advantage of the opportunities that exist in the US and nobody had to buy her book nor watch her TV show if they were such crimes against humanity.

Yes, by quitting the job for which she had campaigned and to which the people of Alaska had elected her. That is the crux of it.
