Don't drink the Kool-aid.
(No, I'm not spreading a partisan message, I want people to think for themselves, know what they're talking about, and not just attack a particular party because it's the cool thing to do right now.)
Neither is Palin? Unless you were trying to get something else across, in which case I don't see it.
I think it's unfortunate that Palin is stepping down. The reason for it is that her family can't afford to fend off the mass media attacks and accusations (like the "Troopergate" thing), not just financially (and it
is expensive to defend yourself in court), but emotionally and all that stuff. To turn on the television and constantly see your family being attacked by partisan media would be tremendously taxing, these things people have said about her daughters, her husband, her son, she certainly took it better than I could have, I'd have shot a few people by now, and have freshly stuffed polar bear statue delivered to the PETA HQ with a friendly note attached.
