Palin's Running Again

[JettaKnight]

And it's looks like she's back - back to dating, that is.

A new reality tv contract in the works, being single opens up all sorts of options.

That family is truly dysfunctional.

That family is truly dysfunctional.

Yep.

"incompatibility of temperament"

I'm going to blatantly take sides.

Todd wanted a normal "Alaska" life (as contrasted to a normal life anywhere else)...and she wanted to be crazy (take a "normal" 55 year old woman crazy with crazy multipliers for: beauty pageant participant, local newscaster, politician and reality TV star).

"Incompatibility of temperament" is code for that ***** is crazy. There's only so much a man can take.

I like her, I like him, and I hate to see them going through a divorce....

I only remember them from parts of the presidential campaign and I liked what I saw. Never really followed them after that, I think now I would probably be less interested.

Divorce is never pleasant, and in this case I think it's going to be grist for the big media mill.

 

[BigRed]

From what I know of Ms. Palin, I like her; but I know little.

I am reminded of the old saying my uncle brought up from time to time.

"For every beautiful woman, there is a man out there that got tired of putting up with her ****."

 

[CindyE]

I like Sarah. They seemed like a good couple. Divorcing after 31 years has got to be hard.

I saw this hitting the other day. Though my impression of Gov. Palin has dimmed a bit from the days she hit the scene (during McCain's run), I still like her and am saddened to hear this news. I'm sure there's much more to the story and I'm sure we'll eventually hear/read about it.

My dad flew them around during the "campaign" some. Todd was great and down to earth according to him. Sarah not so much.

The way I have viewed Sarah Palin almost from the start is that she’s a pretender. Like Trump in a way. She knows how to play the people she’s in front of, to espouse their identity, their values, priorities, and even morals. She’s artificial. That probably sounds like a really harsh opinion to those of you who hold her in high regard. It’s just how I read her. I think she’s a fraud, and the person she’s impersonating isn’t the person she actually is.

It’s quite possible I’m misreading her. But I trust my instincts because I rarely err on that side if it. If I read someone wrong it’s usually because I was fooled by them too, and not because I read some things that weren’t there.

IDK, this was Palin in 2006

I am a conservative Republican, a firm believer in free market capitalism. A free market system allows all parties to compete, which ensures the best and most competitive project emerges, and ensures a fair, democratic process.

And the governorship and the skew of the legislature have been just about evenly split since it became a state, so I would expect its elections to be competitive. Nor do I think McCain would have chosen someone who only talked the walk (although he may indeed have deliberately chosen a woman)

I think you could say the same thing about all modern leadership and be close to the mark.

Always follow the money

I don't know about what her beliefs are down deep inside....what I do know is that all women get crazier between about 43 and 63. Some to a greater extent, some to a lesser extent. These are the same ages when men are simultaneously calming down from raging combativeness...but getting crotchety and surly as all get out.

Great.


Just when she's calmed down, it goes back to crazy?

 

[HoughMade]

It's a different kind of crazy. It involves irrational fears, mood swings that make the 30s look like stability, overuse of both the furnace and A/C, sharing nonsense memes about how much she loves her children/grandchildren, and frequent pumpkin spice benders.

 

[Leadeye]

I'm going to count myself as lucky again.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

I'm going to count myself as lucky again.

Me too. Either lucky or that mine pretty well stayed at the same level of crazy this whole time and I'm just used to it.

Todd seemed like grounded guy. A guy that just want a hot wife, some kids, and no drama. Sarah was like, "let me ruin your dreams."
