Palin to resign as Alaska governor

[ImWithStupid]

Does she know how contradicting she sounds? If a person has nothing to hide, they would not be afraid to face head on people questioning their ethics. Also, since when do fighters quit??

 

 

It wasn't just the fact that there were, dozens of frivilous, claims (more proof that there needs to be tort reform in this country so you can't just make claims like this or sue people without cause). It's the fact that it's not only costing her close to $1 mil to defend herself, but the state oodles of money too. Not just in legal fees, but it's taking state employees time away from the jobs they should be doing and could be doing if not for all the false and pending accusations.

That's what she says. Time will tell all the details soon enough and just how frivilous these lawsuits were. She should have still finished her term and faced things head on if she's done no wrong. Nothing to hide, nothing to fear = a clear conscience. But she always wants to do things her own way and to be the exception of the rules.

Anything can be too much in excess.

 

How many times would you want to fight fake complaints and how much of your savings would you want to spend on standing against these false claims?

 

As a parent alone you have to let go of pride and remember that if she goes broke fighting these false claims it is her children who will suffer for that pride.

 

Will you volunteer to pay her legal fees if she fights?

[RoyalOrleans]

I heard the Palins are more than a half a million in debt.

 

There is more money to be made privately and she'll probably do a host of radio shows, talk shows, etc. Not to mention a book deal(s) and the royalties from Nerdy Glasses For Hot Bureaucrats.

 

I am still glad she is on her way out.

 

So long, farewell, alveterzane, adieu....

Volunteer to pay her legal fees?

 

That's an asinine question! She's saying if she has nothing to hide she should fight. Politics always have a lot of intense personal scrutinizing. If she can't handle it...it's a good thing she's getting out. No one needs someone who bails when things get a little warm. She may have legal fees in around 1 million dollars, but she also has a 12 million dollar home. Perhaps she shouldn't be living so large already.

I'd like to see all these fake claims. Where and what are all of these fake claims, TJ?

 

"Will you volunteer to pay her legal fees if she fights?" - What an idiotic statement. Why the hell would I volunteer to pay that lady's legal fees or any other stranger's? On the other hand, if I didn't do anything wrong and had nothing to hide I'd be more than willing to really fight and defend my self, my good name and reputation. Especially if I was a public person like her.

 

"As a parent alone you have to let go of pride and remember....blah, blah, blah" Please, spare me the hogwash.

[timesjoke]

I just love it, you say she should send her children to live in the streets just to fight crap that is 100% politically driven by people who fear her?

 

Blind fighting is all pride, and pride does not put groceries on the table.

 

I love the house comment too, like she should have to lose her home and the home of her children just to fight false claims. Easy to claim you ladies would take your family down into complete distruction just for pride alone......I know I would never do anything of the sort, my children are more valuable to me than my pride.

[Chi]

Yeah and a 12 million dollar home she doesn't even need to be living in at all! She's really supposed to be living in the governor's mansion (or was, since she's quit.) But in not doing so, she's accrued over $18,000 in taxes, which I don't think she's paid yet. Along with other unecessary costs she's cost the tax payers in Alaska, like flying her daughters and their friends places for so-called "state business" (yeah right!) That's racked up almost $22,000 in flights and hotel stays alone.

 

Hm, maybe these are some of the 'frivilous' lawsuits that are being brought against her? Also, did she ever return the 150 grand worth of clothes she bought during the campaigning with McCain??

[phreakwars]

I guess he forgets she was found guilty of ethics violations and had to buy her way out of not going to jail. She calls them frivolous lawsuits. If they were frivolous, she wouldn't have been found guilty. Now she's trying to play it where she is such a victim. Right..

Yeah, poor Sarah Palin and her poor children. They are a dollar away from being homeless and in the bread line... Please, stop being ridiculous and dramatic.

 

Poor people don't frivolously waste money as I pointed out in my post above this one. The woman has money to throw away on useless crap like overpriced designer clothes, but is not willing to, to defend herself? Tell me another.

[timesjoke]

So Obama should sell his home because he is supposed to be living at the whitehouse?

 

Sometimes it is just too easy shooting you guys down, lol.

You really are an idiot. What she was doing is living in her house and traveling to Anchorage to do business (instead of just living in the mansion in Juneau). That's like if Obama was still living here in IL yet traveling all of the time to DC to do business. No one said anything about selling, genius.

Sure you did, you said she could sell it to pay her legal bills and she didn't need it anyway because she was supposed to be living elsewhere.

 

But my point is she will not be govenor forever just like Obama will not be President forever so why should she sell her home and have no home for herself and her children just to pay for false legal battles?

 

Seems sort of stupid to be standing on the street with no home but you can claim your pride is intact.

Hm, really? When and where did I say she could sell her home to pay for her legal bills?? And you call people liars...

When Emkay said Sarah could sell her 12 million dollar home to pay her legal bills you replied in agreement and said this.

 

 

If you were not agreeing that Sarah should sell her home as Emkay mentioned then I am sorry for not understanding you.

 

 

So you then agree with me that Sarah should not be forced to sell things like her home just to defend herself from false claims....right?

You are lying again. Emkay never said she should sell her house either, but nice try. I see why you accuse other of things because it is YOU who is a liar.

[Chi]

And btw, I don't think Mrs. Palin is being forced to sell anything to defend herself. She made a nice salary as governor. And her husband makes a nice salary, too. There are no excuses, so stop acting like she is a poor single mother working retail and will be out on her ass if she defends herself!

That is exactly what she said and what you replied to, stop trying to reshuffle the deck, it is what it is, no point in trying to reinvent what has been said, just say it out straight instead of dodging with your personal flames.

 

 

Do you think she should have to sell her home to pay for false legal battles?

[phreakwars]

Do you think she should have to sell her home to pay for false legal battles?

I do, and why not, you believe people should sell their homes to pay for medical care. Remember in your own words. She can start over and rebuild.

[emkay64]

That is exactly NOT what I was saying asshat!! I am saying with a 12 million dollar home she can use an awful lot of equity there to manage her legal fees until she's back in the green again. Don't worry Sara won't be in the fukking poor house I can assure you. Although...I'm sure her family wouldn't suffer with a 2 million dollar home...but whatever. I'm saying she could make it work if ...if she wanted to...so don't break out the tiny violins making extreme assumptions when that is not what I said! You really are a tool! Geeze!

I've already answered your question, blindey "And btw, I don't think Mrs. Palin is being forced to sell anything to defend herself. She made a nice salary as governor. And her husband makes a nice salary, too. There are no excuses, so stop acting like she is a poor single mother working retail and will be out on her ass if she defends herself!"

 

And AGAIN, Emkay never said that. It makes you look more foolish and like a bigger liar when you post her reply to boot! Saying the woman should sell her house and saying she shouldn't live so large are two different things!

[Chi]

I do, and why not, you believe people should sell their homes to pay for medical care. Remember in your own words. She can start over and rebuild.

lol, good one! Don't expect for TJ to address this though. He conveniently dodges what he wants.

[timesjoke]

Bender,

 

In one example you have something outside their control, a medical issue that was not expected. In the other you have the ability to stop the downward spiral just by letting go of pride.....an easy decision for me.

 

 

 

Chi, Emkay did say that Sarah had a 12 million dollar home to help her pay for her legal fees, you seemed to agree. Don't try to dodge that comment now.

 

Oh, and I never dodge anything, I might miss something but I never dodge anything intentionally. If I miss something just remind me and I will gladly answer.

[phreakwars]

Medical Bills, legal bills, same thing. Just like people aren't expecting to get sick, people don't expect to get sued. The only difference is the medical bill problem is on a mass scale.

 

Now, either way, medical bill, or legal fees, something puts you in debt, you start over. You sure as hell don't quit your job.
