{^) LOL! That is the one and only Palinism that turned me off. It's so ... hokey. Otherwise, I've always admired Palin, read her books, enjoyed her well-written facebook blurbs (not on facebook but elsewhere), identified with her not only because of her limited government outlook, but because we both worked our way through college by waitressing, and commercial fishing -- I'm from that background, and it's why I am so totally okay with rowdy aspects of her kids -- it's a different life. Few would ever really get it if they're not already inclined. It's a world of ballsy entrepreneurs that make Trump look like a miniature French poodle in terms of risk.
To me, Palin doing this was out of left field, totally a surprise. Oh well -- there's only one thing to do.
Press on!
You worked your way through school by waitressing and commercial fishing? Very cool.
Oh, there are definitely things she’s done that deserve respect. I don’t disagree with that. And, background-wise, I come from a blue-collar family, and I married into one that is...interesting, lol. It’s basically a redneck family that made good. They’re still not above getting into an argument and shooting a hole in somebody’s ceiling (as my father-in-law’s brother did once, lol).
I just view her as a sellout now, but I didn’t give her much thought before this so it’s not really an issue. I’m sticking with Cruz.
