I did want her to run for president. And what do you know about what Pelosi or well, Barney Frank has done to win his elections and push his agenda. Ugh. I can't begin to comprehend what he has done...ugh...but I sure as hell feel free to criticize him and his, uh, positions!
If I had the media invade my hometown and do everything they could to attack me, my husband and my children, I do not think I could have handled it as well as Sarah. How do you think you would have handled it?
Better than Cain, but not as well as Newt.
Palin didn't handle it at all. She jumped on the pop-celebrity wagon. That was my point.
“Palin didn’t handle it at all. She jumped on the pop-celebrity wagon. That was my point”
She still ran for VP under the pressure she was receiving. Remember this started 4 years ago with her. I didn’t see Cain’s or Gingrich’s children lied about. I didn’t see the paternity of their children brought into question. The assault of Sarah’s family is the dirtiest politics I have ever seen. I think people tend to forget the viciousness of the attacks on the Palin family.
Cain did not continue his bid for the Presidency when he was attacked.
None of us know her motivations for doing what she did. She has her reasons. It really doesn’t matter. She counted the cost and it wasn’t worth it for whatever reasons. It doesn’t mean she isn’t doing anything for conservatism and for us to think that our efforts are superior to hers is hubris (if that is what you think).
I do not like her pop-celebrity stuff. I think it lends cred to all the arguments against her as VP.
Again thank you for a reasoned discussion.
I just reread this and I think you may have misunderstood what I meant.
I wouldn’t criticize Palin for not running for President because I could not begin to comprehend what her family has been through. IOW, I can understand why she wouldn’t want to put her family through that again.
