Its time for a break up.
If you havent already seen, Sarah Palin has endorsed Bill Walker and Byron Mallotts Independent-Democrat Unity ticket in the Alaska gubernatorial race over Republican incumbent Sean Parnell. She endorses the Independent-Democrat ticket over the man who was her own lieutenant governor.
Because of this, as far as Republican politics are concerned, Im finished with Sarah Palin. I have nothing but respect for her has a wife, mother, and grandmother. I pray that, should I ever be faced with the prospect of having to raise a child with Down Syndrome or any other disability, I would have the wisdom to make the kind of decision she made with Trig and that I could bear that cross so gracefully. I must also add, in light of recent events, that I find the medias treatment of the family brawl despicable, and unlike Carroll Costello, I find assault no laughing matter.

By any chance are you related to fatman6502005?
You obviously don't know as much about the man as you pretend you do. La Raza Rick Perry is pro amnesty. His record and his words prove it.
ARTICLE dated 08.12.11
Question: But just to be clear: if border security is accomplished, you can envision some sort of path to citizenship for people who are here illegally.
And Perry's response?
Sure.
OUCH that's got to burn. lol!
No, not that I know of. I thought I was the only fatman, that other one is a fraud. LOL
Well that might or might not be amnesty. I personally do endorse a path to citizenship for those who have been here and have not been on welfare and have worked, have started families, after all their kids are American citizens. But I would not support amnesty for them but rather they would have to pay hefty fines and all the back taxes owed and they would have to go to the back of the line and start the process for citizenship. Again, this is only a path to citizenship for those illegals who have worked and stayed off welfare and have led a law abiding life other than their illegal status. I do not perceive that that would be many people to be honest. But those kinds of people, those who have a work ethic and abide by our laws and assimilate are the very kinds of people we want immigrating and they are much more likely to vote conservative than the uneducated, disease ridden, lazy rabble that Obama wants to let in for no other reason than to get them on welfare to increase the dem voting base.
You seem conflicted, first you want to see him saying he was pro-choice since 1963, and then you dive into defending him being so, just in case, you mention when Mitt was 30, at 30 his religion still excluded blacks from full membership (for instance the draft evasion that Mitt used), and he was still a few years from becoming a church Bishop.
In this video you will first hear him give his mother’s Senate campaign as when he firmed up his pro choice views, but a few seconds later, he traces it back to 1963 for his entire family, that is the mention of the infamous “family friend” of 1963.

The family friend was Ann Keenan the sister of Romneys brother-in-law and died at the age of 21 in 1963.
In that video, Romney is running for the Senate and creeping up on his 50s, and had done fundraising for Planned Parenthood that same year.
Here is the photo that the Boston Globe revealed.
Here is the proabortion Mitt Romney's answers on the Planned Parenthood Questionaire (He is about 55 at this time).
I’m aware of the extenuating circumstances, but the fact is it looks bad for her. Career-ending bad? I highly doubt it. But this notion that some idiot thing Mitch McConnell said about Obama and ebola is worse for her, personally, is just ridiculous.
Spare me your clownish attempts to discredit me. Sarah Palin has done a lot of good and is an interesting potential candidate (though she seems disinclined to run), but she's not Jesus Christ.
I am not conflicted, and was not defending him. I simply stated that people change their views on issues from the time they”re in their teens till their older, like I have on many issues. That is not a defense of Romney. It was a defense of common sense. And this is all I was asking for to begin with was proof, thank you. I don’t know why getting proof is like pulling teeth. I had not seen this stuff before.
Aside from all the insults you offer in your posts, getting the “proof” isn’t like “pulling teeth”, how have you managed to not know anything about Romney over his 9 years of running for president? A thank you would have been more appropriate than another insult from you.
While you lied about getting “proof” of the obvious like “pulling teeth”, you still haven’t answered what I asked you in post 192 “What specifically in post 185 do you want proof of?” some of it is not yet proven, don’t you want to learn more about your 67 year old man that you tried the teen ager defense on?
No, you didn’t. The other guy who I replied to in the beginning did. It was a dumb statement, bereft of logic. I think it looks bad for her b/c a) how many BBQs have you or I ever shown up to in a limousine, and b) how many of those did your family get into a knockdown/drag-out fight with the other partygoers? The answer for me is “0” for both. The first feels out-of-touch (not a big deal, just eyebrow-raising), and the second is just head shake-inducing. I wasn’t there, though, so maybe it was totally justified. The media and LIVs won’t give her such benefit of the doubt, hence the “it looks bad for her” comment.
Like I’ve posted elsewhere on FR several times, I think the dustup was a setup to trap almost any one of the Palins and it is related, in some way not now apparent to me, to SP’s endorsement of the Independent ticket against the R sitting Governor.
Big bump.
This is the first I have heard of this conjecture.
I would completely agree with this possibility.
Bill Walker ran in the 2010 GOP Primary against Parnell. He ran to Parnell's right.
Parnell has spent his tenure reestablishing the Old Guard that Palin ousted. He has been a GOP-E lapdog since being elected, deconstructing the popular funding operations established under Palin. He has basically become a Frank Murkowski redux - he's a Chamber-Of-Commerce Republican.
He inherited a State with a surpluss and booming economy; it is now in deficit and fiscal crisis. Spending goes way up in his state under his watch and he blames his Senate, all while touting his plans for expensive new public projects. The state is now dipping into SAVINGS to pay bills with oil production down, and that goes goodbye soon as Parnell has a plan to hand over ownership of the taxpayers’ interest in the pipeline and gas-treatment to International Oil companies. So the taxpayers pay to build it, and Parell then hands it over to the Oil Companies.
Palin endorsed Walker because she's personally watched Parnell put the state in fiscal crisis and dismantle the most effective public/private sector partnership in America.
I’m not pro-Reid, but at what point do we not vote for someone because of their views?
Whebly’s running an ad right now featuring two homosexual men who sued to make homo marriage legal, they say how adamantly pro gay right she is...she is also pro-abortion.
I just cannot vote for someone with such extreme views. Where would YOU not vote for someone, if they were a Republican socialist would you still vote for them?
That being said, I do understand where my friend is coming from...
