Oh Pandora, do you realize Todd and I share the same hometown? I am on a first name basis with Todd's Mother Blanch and Stepfather Bob. I live and work and have political affairs with among the most ardent Palin supporters. It is a small town. But the point in this exercise is that I can still have polite and friendly dealings with people despite thier political leanings.Poor Bunz, you live with Sarah Palin supporters? I do not think I could live in the same house as anyone who liked obama. I had a terrible time camping for 3 days with obama 2 bots. Actually my sister is no longer a drooling bot, now she is just "confused" because he didn’t do the things she felt he said he would do. But her husband is still a drooling bot and it would have been easier to shoot him than listen to him go on and on.
Well it depends on what Sarah wants. If she wants to make a bunch of money and remain in the public light for as long as possible then she probably did the right thing. If Sarah wants to become President in 2012, the move of quitting as Governor right now, will only hurt her. I wont say that she cant be the next President, but this moves hurts her political ambitions.I am glad she stepped down, I think this is the best move for her and her family.
You know I have googled this, but have not found any evidence of it...do you by chance?Perhaps now people who hate her will stop making fun of her Downs Syndrome infant.
But this harkens back to another issue about Sarah. She has pretty thin skin. Always has. She has no problem dishing it out(like a point guard) but whines when she gets fouled. Now I dont mean to sound crass, and some things have crossed the line. But when Sarah plays the victim and throws her tantrums on twitter, all the time continually putting her kids in the limelight. It seems really disingenious, and if she wants a real shot in 2012, she needs to do a few things. Either remove her kids from the picture. Track has managed to do that. So has Willow for the most part, and the media and general public shine on Piper... Aside from the mistake Letterman made(lets not get into this again please, there are other threads for that)
Ah yes, I do get a kick of out some of your predictions.Had she stayed in office the anti Sarah Palin crowd would probably have Piper doing crack and being a street walker by the end of her term.
But this brings up the lie that Palin has be not guilty of these ethics issues. She was found guilty of abuse of power in the Troopergate issue, and she was also forced to pay back like 9,000 in travel expenses for her family. I am also pretty sure she was forced to pay back a bunch of per diem money.
