Lets see the choices palin faced:
1. stay governor and go broke because the dems kept filing bogus ethics charges against her. At last count they were 0 - 17, but Palin had to pay to defend herself, and she was not a wealthy person.
2. Resign with AK in excellent fiscal shape, take a book deal worth $7,000,000 and hit the lucrative speaker trail.
Tough choice, but hey this is America and people are free to "pursue happiness", and wealth. Look at the dem governors who resigned in disgrace, McGreevy, Blago, and Spitzer. Then we have the next batch getting voted out, Corzine and VA.
So Plain looks great and she is making a ton of money, with AK in good hands. I hope the a$$holes that files the bogus ethics charges feel like idiots.
Soooooo.......a woman who has all of this mega-support who could have easily raised a mega defense fund from her supporters instead chose to QUIT and put herself on the market to make herself rich. And many of my so called fellow "conservatives" are good with this? Wow! Just wow! So much for personal responsibility and integrity.
I am a conservative and I am just fine with it. No where in history has a politician been so mischaracterized, her children attacked,etc. She chose not to raise millions of dollars to WASTE it against these frivolous ethics charges. This demonstrates strong ethics and character to me.
She did the right thing and she also pointed out the people in the political arena who attack small children thinking they are furthering their cause. In reality, all they did, was make total donkey asses out of themselves for doing it.
