“.....About her leaving her job as governor, she wasn’t able to govern because the MSM and liberals were constantly suing her and hounding her, she did the state of Alaska a favor....”
The thing about all those frivolous and bogus ‘ethics’ complaints...... The libs and the establishment Republicans, AND the MSM, were attempting to bury and destroy Sarah Palin. They saw her as a threat to their existence and wanted her OUT of the picture. They wanted her so broken and tainted that she would not be a threat to them any longer. Too many conservatives, including me, were already thinking of 2012 and Palin leading that charge. So they tried to kill her, politically.
She did right by Alaska, removing herself, and allowing state business to return to it’s normal functions.
They thought they’d won the battle, won their war against her. They totally underestimated this woman, AND those of us who support her. I don’t think she’s perfect. I don’t view her as an ‘icon’ to be revered or worshipped. That would be idolatry. As a Christian, I worship God, not man/woman. I DO see her as a leader with her head set squarely on her shoulders..... with values I share and a lot of really good common sense.
BTW, I’m the mother of a girl, who used to be a teenager. I’ve been in the same situation with my child. You pick up the pieces and go on.... offering love and support.... for your child, not for the behavior.... and you love with all your heart the unexpected gift of a grandchild. In spite of the circumstances, I am so happy... grateful even, that my girl chose life. If there are those here on Free Republic who would consider me less of a conservative, less worthy of consideration, because of the actions of my daughter.... oh well. If there are those who use these circumstances in the lives of the Palins as an justification not to support her..... how incredibly ignorant and judgmental and shameful, of them.
Go Sarah... if you run, I will support and work for you.

That’s the type of post people should be posting about Sarah..Thank you!
You explained what was happening and why....to any who might have questioned her leaving her Governorship...which was a big issue for some....Didn’t bother me...many leave offices to run...nothing new about that. Still, it’s nice to have the amunition to throw back at the Palin opposition.....Thank you...... Good post!
It doesn't matter to me in any way. I love her, and I love my grandson, more than anything. So the poster in this thread who walks without sin, and casts the first stone, is the one that looks like a complete idiot, without a human soul.
I am sure Mrs. Palin loves that grandbaby with all of her heart, and she has nothing to apologize or explain to morons like this one poster. And the rest of us Mama Grizzlies understand exactly why.
Hey, I was one of those teenaged girls, I got pregnant and married when I was 17, it has been 40 years now and I’m still married.
