As a woman who is no fan of Sarah Palin I took great satisfaction in her resignation. Say it ain't so Joe! You ask why am I not a fan? Well, other than a few moral issues Sarah and I really don't seem to see eye to eye on much of anything. Just because she is a female political figure, (and in my opinion this requires a stretch of the imagination and using the term loosely), does not mean that she has my support. Plain and simple, I did not find her to be qualified for the positions as governor or vice president. She is no Kay Bailey Hutchison or Hillary Rodham Clinton. If elected to the highest office in the land it would definitely prove that ANYONE can be president.
Ask anyone who knows me well, I wanted to like the woman, but I just could not force myself. The accent, the flight attendant wardrobe, and the phraseology just simply sent me to the edge. When it became public information that Mrs. Palin's eldest daughter Bristol was pregnant I often wondered if she would be able to take the heat, and also I questioned what type of mother would knowingly put her family in the position to endure the scrutiny that was evident at the onset of her vice-presidential campaign. Never did I judge, but in all sincerity thought of the familys best interests. They were apparent to me, why not the Governor?
As the story unfolded before us and the election wrapped up it was apparent this family could not stand in the spotlight of the ever present 24 hour news media, however, Mrs. Palin persisted. FINALLY she folds, and in doing so leaves office with the words "I am a fighter, not a quitter." No! Mrs. Palin you did not fight for what was most important, your family! You sacrificed your daughter and for what? To quit!
Since Mrs. Palin likes to quote and even stand upon the Bible I would have her reference chapter 31 of Proverbs. This Governor Palin is a fighter. This is a mother!http://www.zondervanbiblesearch.com/NIV/Proverbs/31
