The week before I married on my familys homestead in Alaska, we found out Sarah Palin had been picked to be Sen. John McCains vice-presidential running mate.
This was big news for Alaska. Nearly everyone we knew was thrilled, even people who werent huge Palin fans. At the time, Palin was a popular governor whod made a name for herself fighting a corrupt good ol boys system that had prevailed for too long in state politics. She was a Republican, but seen as a moderate who was willing to work with Democrats and take on powerful special interests, including the oil companies that held sway in the state capitol. People liked her, even if they didnt always agree with her politics.

I didnt realize she had no children. Maybe children were inconvenient to her lifestyle.

"The stupidity was coming from her children."
And had she never been nominated for VP, no one would have ever heard about any of it.

Watch South Dakota Governor Kristie Noem, who is a rising star in the post Trump GOP to follow Palins lead in national politics.

This is an excellent article. Thanks for sharing. Even though we already knew that the majority of the media would fawn over Harris, or any other female that was chosen, it’s always good to be reminded of their double standards, and disgusting behavior when it comes to conservative Republican women. And since there are a lot of folks who have walked away from the Democrat party, and plan to vote for President Trump, this article is helpful in that it will remind them of why they walked away.

"Where Kamala stands out is that she is the first to not have any children."
Which should be used against her in defining her as the power-hungry b*tch that she is. She never got married until she was 50 years old. That's pretty startling. She had no time for marriage or children, because she's been too busy playing politics. Besides Brown, who else was she banging all those years? Males? Females? The media thinks it knows about Donald Trump's sex life, and tried to use it against him, but what about Harris? Other than Brown, that part of her life is a deep, dark secret.

"at least you admit her kiddos were a sideshow."
The media made her children a sideshow. They chose to use her children against her, and did so for years after. Nobody is perfect. Nobody's family is perfect, but a female Conservative Republican, who was picked to run as V.P., was never going to be treated fairly by the press. And all these years later, nothing has changed with that.

In fact, they might well have turned out normal. Considering how the scumbag left dragged that family though hell, it’s not surprising that some of them would have problems.
To: Jacob Kell
all i am saying is- if Al Gore Jr had gotten arrested for battery, it would not have been accepted behavior around here. If John Kerry’s girl had 2 babies without a wedding ring, it would not have been accepted around here.
But for Sarah’s kids- the excuses for bad behavior flowed. which is bs. Either it’s wrong or it’s ok.
I don’t care either way, they’re her kids to deal or not deal with.

Where Kamala stands out is that she is the first to not have any children.Which is amazing considering the amount of time she has spent on her back to get where she is now.

I realize Sarah is trying to be nice, and give advice, but her breath is wasted on a woman who used her body to get a high-paying job, and who has been continuously on a power-hungry trip to grab as much as she can, no matter how she does it. Harris doesn’t want to hear from anyone, let alone Palin, on who she should trust. Harris is one of those that Sarah speaks of...one who never should be trusted.

Sarah Palin is a lot like PDJT when it comes to social media.
She says she’s advising Harris but she’s really jabbing the media and political consultants that cut off her knees during her VP campaign.
Not that it will make any difference.

What did she post? Read the article, towards the end is a link to twitter where she posted, true to character, to Harris. It is shame the establishment felt the need to crush this woman. Only fault is maybe a touch of GWB (being TOO nice) ...

“The media wont care one bit about how they treated Sarah Palin when it comes to their treatment of Kamala Harris. Its an irrelevancy.”
Nope. The media came an inch from running Nixon off the Eisenhower ticket. They turned Dan Quayle from a competent and youthful senator into an idiot. They never pay in the least for their character assassination.
They don’t need the threats from the feminist swine to promote Harris. It just gives them cover.

Indeed, the things they said about Sarah are going to haunt them big time this go-round and we need to make sure they are reminded every day how they treated that good woman and her family. And SHE was genuine, not a slave owner descendant Jamacian/Indian or whatever, pretending to be “black”.
