You know the difference between a Pit-Bull and a Hockey Mom?
Lipstick... Sarah Palin
This was, arguably, one of the best ad lib moments of the 08 presidential campaigns. If you do not count B. Hussien's stuttering and searching for words trying not to say what he believes.
I know that Palin has stepped down as governor of Alaska. I know that there is a lot of speculation about why she has done this. I will offer my own humble opinion in this article and do my best to support with facts the suppositions i will advance.
Look at the joke that was told by Mrs. Palin and that will give you a clue. The comparison of Pit Bulls and Hockey Moms was not an accident then and the meaning still applies now. Mrs. Palin stepped down in an effort to save her family from the Maelstrom that they were not ready for. Let’s take a look at some things that support this.
Google Sarah Palin ethics complaints and you will get around 744k hits. Of course this includes news stories and hit pieces by 'news' outlets from the huffington post to cnn to the major 'news' networks.
According to The Christian Science Monitor
Alaska’s response to ethics allegations and requests for information concerning the conduct of soon-to-be-ex-governor Sarah Palin has cost the state $1.9 million...
All 15 ethics complaints against Palin considered so far by Alaska’s Personnel Board have been dismissed, though one resulted in a settlement requiring the governor to reimburse the state for travel costs incurred by her family...
...the governor and her husband are struggling with legal bills that exceeded $500,000.
Yes, there is a defense fund set up that will pay some of those costs but it will not cover all of them. The frivolous and petty ethics complaints have become a distraction for Mrs. Palin and that is no way to spend the time of the governor. Then lets look at the jokes and stories told. there is no end to the hypocrisy and the hate leveled at not only Mrs. Palin but her family. SO WHAT if she has decided she no longer wants to put her family through the meat grinder that has become public life on the Conservative side of the isle. If that is the only reason then you have to respect that decision.
It is said that the Conservatives are the only group that eat their wounded. If there is an allegation of impropriety we resign. If we don't resign we are ostracized. If a Dem is indicted or accused of a crime that actually ENHANCES their resume. We have kicked out, shut out and ostracized so many effective leaders that we don't have many left.
Maybe she has committed political suicide, i am not convinced that she has. Is she out of the public eye? No. Is she through with politics? Maybe. I can guarantee we have not seen the last of her, not by a long shot, and those on the left are scared.
