The facts are there. The reasons for her resignation are both valid and honorable.

That's right, General Burkhalter, a sitting Governor gave in to Democrat, dirty-tricks blackmailers for honorable reasons.

April 15, 2010 .... Sarah Palin income 12 million dollars since leaving office

Once upon a time in America, when faced with blackmail, Americans would proclaim,

"Millions for defense, sir, but not one cent for tribute!"

In Sarah Palin's case, she proclaimed,

"Why even think about defense when there are millions of dollars of Realty TV contracts, book sales and speaking fees to be scooped up! Ummm.... for honorable reasons, of course."

One "honorable" thing that Governor Palin could have done, (instead of running off to rake in $12 million in Reality TV and book sales and speaking fees by April 15, 2010) is to stay and fight and pass a "Loser Pays" law, like Governor Perry fought for and won in Texas, so that such blackmail by frivolous lawsuits does not happen again in Alaska.

Sarah Palin's refusal to fight and her bugging out to chase the Realty TV millions taught the blackmailer one thing:

Frivolous Lawsuit Blackmail Works in Alaska!

In Texas, after Perry fought for and won a "Loser Pays Law", such frivolous lawsuit blackmail is now impossible.

Sarah Palin took the easy ..... and extremely lucrative..... route rather than the honorable but difficult route.

Why stand and fight when you could make millions doing silly Reality TV shows with Kate Gosselin.
