Sarah Palin: Finally, A Decision for Afghanistan: We're In It to Win It
Sarah Palin Facebook ^ | Dec 1, 2009 | BigTigerMike

Posted on 12/01/2009 7:43:51 PM PST by Bigtigermike

Three months ago, I joined a number of Americans in urging President Obama to provide the resources necessary to achieve our goals in Afghanistan. Tonight, I am glad he mostly heeded that advice........

Ofcourse it is-she quit. “

She resigned, showed great fortitude be writing a book in record time, proceeded to outsell even the top writers, and she is now bouncing strongly back in the polls.
Plus, she's paid off her legal debts, and secured her children's financial futures. What is there not to like?
She sounds like a winner to me, as compared to you who is WHINNER.

Reagan was attacked on his policies . Conservative principles weren't as well known so they attacked them tooth and toenail. That's fine because they are what they are and people now know they work. I remember attacks on Nancy Reagan for astrologers, etc., but I don't remember personal attacks on him in the way that Sarah and her family have been attacked.

Palin was attacked because of her conservative principles, but not ON her conservative principles.

All of the attacks were personal: That baby is not hers. I can see Russia from my house. She wore those clothes that cost all that money and she didn't give it back. She's so stupid. She doesn't know what the Bush Doctrine is. (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2080600/posts) She had ethics charge after ethics charge which were all untrue but cost her and the state money. She resigned because it was costing the state taxpayer dollars and it was a massive financial burden on her family. She did what she thought was best for her state and her family. If you don't like that, that's your problem. I see that as a plus, not a minus. If that's all you got, that's pretty weak.

Did you hear anyone criticize her because she's pro-life, or for limited government, or low taxes, or a strong national defense? NO. It was all personal.

You are right about the Presidential race heat though. I've always said if you want to know if you have colon or prostrate cancer, or find out your ancestry, just run for office!

“No, the old is working quite well.”

You'd like to think that wouldn't ya? Sadly, that is not the case.

Actually, it is.

“A real Leader takes care of his responsibilities first, and sometimes that is at the cost of his own family”

A real leader does not leave his family destitute and in financial ruin.

Yes, I am sure Palin would have been 'destitute' if she had finished her term.

Any leader that doesn't take care of their family is a bad leader. Charity begins at home.

Any leader that puts his own needs above principle is not a leader.

“Yes, I am sure Palin’s family were facing starvation and being homeless”

How do you propose she pay off her ever mounting bills from lawsuits brought on by lawyers being paid by Soros, who has an endless supply of money and who once declared he was prepared to spend every penny he had to see to it that George Bush lost the 2004 elections

I am sure conservatives would have had no problem with getting a 'don't let Palin's children starve' fund together.

Sounds like a quiter making money off of running a losing campaign for Vice President and making money rather then fufilling her responsiblities to the State she was elected to lead”

She sound like a winner who refused to be typecast by the media, turned round and wrote her own book, telling her own story, in record time, was embraced by small town American and conservatives and even independents, sold a very high number of books, and sent her poll numbers soaring.
That's a fighter right there. She is winning every way you look at it, and you and your bottom feeding pals are losing BIG TIME.

I remember attacks on Nancy Reagan for astrologers, etc., but I don't remember personal attacks on him in the way that Sarah and her family have been attacked.

Reagan was attacked for being 'just an actor' and then attacked as being 'too' conservative to be President.

Poor, poor Sarah...

All of the attacks were personal: That baby is not hers. I can see Russia from my house. She wore those clothes that cost all that money and she didn't give it back. She's so stupid. She doesn't know what the Bush Doctrine is. (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2080600/posts) She had ethics charge after ethics charge which were all untrue but cost her and the state money.

If you don't like that, that's your problem. I see that as a plus, not a minus. If that's all you got, that's pretty weak.

She admitted herself that she had not prepared herself well for those interviews.

And the fact is she gave into the extortionists and resigned.

And she wanted to make money while her name was still 'hot' among Conservatives.

So she wrote a bestselling book which deals with policy, no, it deals with her personal experiences as a running mate to McCain.

Did you hear anyone criticize her because she's pro-life, or for limited government, or low taxes, or a strong national defense? NO. It was all personal.

And what is new about that?

Read some of the attacks on Lincoln!

Read the attacks on Jefferson and Adams!

This is softball compared to what they went through.

The attacks were so vicious on Jackson, he blamed his wifes death on them.

So stop whining about how unfair everyone was to 'poor Sarah'

You are right about the Presidential race heat though. I've always said if you want to know if you have colon or prostrate cancer, or find out your ancestry, just run for office!

And it will only be tougher the next time.

Actually, it is. “

Chortle!
You wish.

Yes, I am sure Palin would have been ‘destitute’ if she had finished her term”

How do you know that?
You can't be accumulating legal bills at the rate of twice what you are making per month, and survive financially. Its not tenable.

Any leader that puts his own needs above principle is not a leader”

A leader that puts politics above the interest of their own children, including dawn syndrome child, is no leader to me.
Conversely, a leader that put the lives of their family, above politics IS a real leader to me.

I am sure conservatives would have had no problem with getting a ‘don't let Palin’s children starve’ fund together.”

I see you forgot about the lawsuits that the Soros financed lawyers brought to stop her from taking money from any such sources to pay her legal bills did ya?

Sounds like someone who is popular NOW with some people.

Popularity in politics doesn't last very long when you aren't accomplishing anything.

In three years, we will see where she is in the GOP.

“Actually, it is. “

No, I know.

But it doesn't get much use in these posts with you.

You clearly like to post hot air and then think it has some substance.

“Yes, I am sure Palin would have been ‘destitute’ if she had finished her term”

How do you know that? You can't be accumulating legal bills at the rate of twice what you are making per month, and survive financially. Its not tenable.

I know that the law bills can be paid for when she left office and then she could have raised money from conservatives to help her.

“Any leader that puts his own needs above principle is not a leader”

A leader that puts politics above the interest of their own children, including dawn syndrome child, is no leader to me. Conversely, a leader that put the lives of their family, above politics IS a real leader to me.

Then she shouldn't have run for Governor and she shouldn't run for President.

“I am sure conservatives would have had no problem with getting a ‘don't let Palin’s children starve’ fund together.”

I see you forgot about the lawsuits that the Soros financed lawyers brought to stop her from taking money from any such sources to pay her legal bills did ya?

And you think that Palin's children would have been starving or homeless?

Stop talking nonsense.

Everyone who is popular is only popular now, and only with some people. No one is popular with all Americans. 0bama has more disapprove than approve.
No one is popular in advance years from nor or whatever.
In that sense, she is in the same position as anyone else. Only difference is her poll numbers are going up, while most other politicians, like 0bama, Pelosi, Harry Reid ,even Romney, have their poll numbers going down.

Obamabot? Yeah, you've got a case there.

There are two kinds of political people. Those who reason and analyze and those who run on pure emotion. Those who believe that obama can walk on water or that Palin can do no wrong both belong in the latter group and neither is to be taken seriously.

You guys are just saying the same things over and over again. You’re giving me a headache. Stop it! You’re not going to convince each other.

No, I know”

You think you know.
But then a deranged mind will think that way anyways wouldn't it?

I know that the law bills can be paid for when she left office and then she could have raised money from conservatives to help her. “

You don't know anything of the kind.
Lawyers are under no obligation to go without pay for 2 years, while they do hard work for someone, and wait for their money based on vague promises of payment in the future by indeterminate conservatives some time in the future.
Lawyers can and DO demand payment for work done, as and when done. You don't know if her lawyers were demanding payment, and how much she was paying them from her salary every month, and how tight her family budget was getting. And that was just for starters. Her legal bills were only going to get a heck of a lot bigger.

Then she shouldn't have run for Governor and she shouldn't run for President. “

Only those that don't love their families should run for office huh? No surprise this country is so screwed up.

And you think that Palin’s children would have been starving or homeless?”

Nice attempt at changing the subject.
No can do.
The point I made was, the Soros financed lawyers had filed lawsuits top stop her from taking money from any other political sources to pay her legal bills.
You has no answer to that one did ya?

Sio far, you haven’t posted even one thing in this thread, that had even the faintest whisk of reason in it.
All you did was a flyby bombing, and you got exactly the same thing in return.

That means they voted for him to be Governor if the governor was not able to serve for any reason. Hiwcvh is exactly what happened.

_______________________________________

There you go again, spinning like a dervish. She was not, as you say, unable to serve. She made a choice to stop serving. That is the plain and inescapable truth. And it hurts her with people who think their politics rather than feel them.

She was not, as you say, unable to serve”

If her lawyers were demanding payment from her for legal services rendered, and if her annual way was far less than her legals bills in just 6 months, and if she was paying the lawyers from her monthly pay and it was still lot anywhere near enough to cover the legal bills, and if her finances were coming apart, and she was not able to pay her legal bills and at the time feed and take care of her family, that would amount to she being unable to serve.
Accordingly, she handed over to the duly elected Lieutenant governor, took 4 months off, wrote her book in record time, set the record straight with the American people, paid her legal bills, and put some money aside for her children's future.
What is YUOR problem?

What people are those?
Her poll numbers have gone UP since her book came out, amongst Republicans (76 % approval according to one poll) and even independents(49% approval in that Fox poll)
The Democrat don't matter.

Besides people who shout and can't spell? I'd have to say anyone who walks away from a commitment and then uses the new-found time for profit is a bit of a problem for me, in a 'character counts' way.

You may continue spinning now.

Chortle!
When a guy who's entire brain is made up of dog's poop, spews out even more garbage, one can only laugh in derision and dismiss his idiocies out of hand.

Unlike you I’ve been to Afghanistan and Pakistan, spent fifteen months there for uncle sugar. “

Did you go to Afghanistan too after your adventures in Vietman?
If you claim you ouight in Vietnam, and after all these years, you are still so stupid, then there is indeed no hope for you
Like Churchil said : “If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain”
He was right.
