I certainly haven't got the respect for her that I once had.
I agree with you. I don’t dislike Sarah Palin, but I do not respect her as I once did. She, and her family, have put themselves in situations that have shown poor judgment. I do not necessarily hold the actions of her children against her, but after a while you start wondering about her parenting skills. One of the situations she was even present and it was pure redneck Jerry Springer material. You would think her grown children would have more respect her as a public figure.
