If you think she "ran" from those lawsuits, you're sadly uninformed.
She would have stood and fought them, if a judge hadn't declared her legal defense fund to be illegal. She wasn't a rich person. Her family had no way on earth to pay the monumental legal bills that the frivolous lawsuits were generating.
Had she stayed on anyway, she wouldn't have been able to do her job as Governor (which she already couldn't, due to the constant barrage of lawsuits), and she would have been driven into personal bankruptcy.
The liberal attack machine had her cornered, and she had no way to fight back and win. Had she remained in office, she would have failed the people of her state, and she would have failed her own family by putting them in the poor house.
There were only two ways out of that fight for Sarah. One way would have been to succumb to the left's attacks on her, by playing ball with them and compromising every ideal she's ever stood for. She herself would have survived well, had she just gone to the 'dark side' in some back room deal, but she didn't do that.
She took the least obvious, and most difficult route, which was to step down for the good of her state, and her family. Once she moved off the position of Governor, the attack machine couldn't touch her, but it cost her, and she knew that.
A staltwart patriot does not shirk her duty and turn tail to earn millions in speaking fees.
That left-wing talking point isn't even worthy of a rebuttal, and you ought to be ashamed for even making it.
You're still not making any sense. Tell the truth about what?
Thank you, Onyx. It burns my a** to see people already re-writing history, and openly lying about Governor Palin’s life and career.
Um. Palin is not running.
NOT RUNNING.
Get behind a candidate who IS running.
I was paraphrasing Mrs Palin. See my post #38 “As for Herman Cain, you know, he needs to be candid and quite truthful about these sexual allegations still because people are kind of hesitant a bit to, you know, delve right in there as supporters, not knowing what the truth is.” This was just last week. This was a very personal attack from inside our camp. She won’t be let in mine.
PDS trolls. That one is an uninformed liar.
Can you even believe that we're still infested with such a thing?
Name call if you want. Get mad if you want. I disagree with you and I stand by my opinion.
Not convinced. Maybe she can do another reality show, save some pennies and run again.
Then your heart is as hardened as a lump of coal, or you simply despise the woman for some unfathomable reason.
Good day.
Yeah man. Those are the only two reasons. Talk about some pds.
Hang up the phone. Do it now.
Sorry, forgot to ping you 2 ;)
Romney and Obama could very well split the liberal vote, allowing a third-party/independent conservative to win.
Heck, Perot was poised to win before he dropped out, out of fear that he actually could win. I don't think he ever intended on winning.
It all comes down to how the candidates are positioned. It may take a three-way race in order to elect a conservative. Remember, Reagan was elected in 1980 with some help from liberal Republican (and now Obama supporter) John Anderson, who took some of the liberal vote away from Carter.
