What exactly would you have had Palin DO, Toro? She was being subjected to a barrage of frivolous lawsuits...dozens of lawsuits whose only purpose were to bankrupt her and her family. She had been sued so that she couldn't accept donations to pay for a defense of those lawsuits. That was going to continue until the Palin's were bankrupt. So would you have had Palin simply let herself be "bled out" by this tactic? Would you have allowed that if it were YOU that was under this kind of sleazy attack?
But she did create a legal defense fund. It raised $390,000. It was found to be in violation of ethics laws in 2011 only because the website implied that it was an official website of the governor of Alaska, and the money had to be returned. Had they not made that mistake, the legal defense fund would have been fine.
But by this time, she had become rich. She resigned
after she had been a VP candidate, and
after she had become a rock-star within her base who made her rich.
I don't know why she resigned. What I do know is that I want a Presidential candidate with a backbone and who will fight when needed. And if she can be driven from office over this, she isn't strong enough to be President of the United States.
