Just a hunch, I guess.
April 15, 2010: Sarah Palin income 12 million dollars since leaving office
Palin and Gosselin in the Mother of All Reality Shows
Palin will not even sign her own books for one of her supporters unless that supporter dishes out even more money to buy Bristol's book too.
Sarah Palin was at the Mall of America (largest mall in the U.S.) on June 29, 2011 along with Bristol, for a book signing and the conduct was very telling.
Here were the rules laid down for the book signing:
Bristol Palin with Special Guest Sarah Palin Book Signing Wednesday, June 29, 2011 5 p.m. Rotunda
Look at Rule Number 4.
"4. You must have a copy of “Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far” in order to purchase a copy of “America by Heart” and/or “Going Rogue” signed by Sarah Palin."
In order words, if a potential Palin voter wanted to purchase a Sarah Palin book and have it signed, Sarah Palin would refuse to sign it unless that individual also bought a copy of Bristol's book describing losing her virginity in a drunken coed camping trip.
No additional money for Bristol's book = No Sarah autograph on Sarah's own book.
That is not the behavior of an individual that is trying to court voters.
That is the behavior of a family that is cashing in and trying to maximize their profit.
Politicians who are truly running and truly want to endear themselves to as many voters as possible do everything they can to reach out and please as many voters as possible.
The Palins, however, do everything they can to maximize the income. .... Even refusing to sign a Sarah Palin book unless money is spent on Bristol.
Poly, do you even believe in American exceptionalism and the freedom of an American to achieve things they set out to do? Why do you begrudge her the ability to leverage ANYTHING she can legally, and ethically?
And did you EVER stop to think that someone has to PAY for things? You can get cash from the GOP and big donors right off the bat and then be shackled to their orders, or EARN IT yourself and do the voodoo that youdoo without strings attached and debts owed.
You are a troll. And you are far from a smart one.
It was a way make sure that Bristol’s feelings weren’t hurt.
There would be a chance that no one would want Bristol’s book and everyone would mob Sarah, etc etc.
The system that they set up did accomplish that.
So,you are pushing class warfare HERE of all places? Call yourself conservative but can’t stand it that Sarah Palin is successful? And as is so clearly written in the announcement,the book signing rules are from the MALL OF AMERICA MANAGEMENT the ones RUNNING THE BOOK SIGNING!!! Provide proof that Sarah was responsible for the book signing rules or apologize for your despicable mean-spirited disingenuous mendacity.
Your argument is about as solid as a wet pancake.
If I were in Palin’s position I’m sure I would try my best to help my daughter sell books.
Get real. Having a servant’s heart does not equate with forcing yourself to reject any and all opportunities to help your family.
Palin has been described as “alleycat smart.” This is why she consistently outsmarts her critics. She’s smarter than they are.
It would seem to me that Palin knows she will not lose support merely by helping her daughter to sell books. Think about it, and learn from observing Sarah Palin’s intellect.
