The Former Alaskan governor and Tea Party darling announced on Wednesday, October 5, 2011that she will not run for President in 2012. Her main deciding factor for not participating is her family. Palin stated, "My family comes first." This disappointing news follows months of speculation of Palin's political future. Many people believed that she would throw her hat into the Presidential ring when she made herself known by spreading her political messages while embarking on a bus tour of the United States in the recent past. Palin believes that she can be more effective on the sidelines aiding a Republican candidate in the 2012 election. She discussed the possibility of running for President with her husband Todd prior to making her decision and concluded that running would put a considerable amount of strain on their family life (as Palin has repeatedly stated, family comes first). Further more she stated, "When we serve, we devote our selves to God, family, and country. M y decision maintains this order." She continued her official public statement by defending her decision by stating, "My decision is based upon a review of what commonsense conservatives and Independents have accomplished, especially over the last year. I believe that at this time, I can be more decisive in a effective role to help elect other true public servants to office". Palin thanks her supporters from the bottom of her heart for encouraging her and defending her record throughout the years. Palin adds, "Know that by working together that we can bring this country back and as I've always said, one doesn't need a title to help do it." She continues her official statement by stating that the candidate for President must embrace immediate action towards conventional energy sources, reducing tax burdens, and minimizing government in order to strengthen the economy and allow the private sector to create jobs. Palin concludes her statement by addressing her immediate future plans, "In the coming weeks I will help coordinate strategies to assist replacing the President, retaking the Senate, and maintaining the House.
Palin's decision to not run coincidentally came one day after Chris Christie, New Jersey's Governor, publicly announced he will not run for the Presidency in 2012 as well. Palin's decision was not surprising to some. Her popularity has recently taken a downfall in the polls. While still remaining well liked by some hardcore conservatives, some Republicans feel that she strung along the public for an unneeded considerable length of time prior to announcing her decision. Some wonder if she's able to handle the office of the Presidency considering her prior overwhelming demeanor when she was in the national spotlight while being interviewed on television. The question of possibly running as a third party contender was raised. During an interview on Mark Levin's show, Palin stated that she would not consider being a third party candidate. The reasoning behind her decision is that she believes that it would almost guarantee Barack Obama's re-election.
Sarah Palin's followers and fans were not very pleased when hearing she will not run for President in 2012. Many expressed frustration and disbelief. There are many websites for Palin's followers to receive updates on her career and current activities. After her announcement on October 5, 2011, many followers left numerous comments on these websites expressing their feelings. Most of the comments were extremely negative in nature. To quote one Palin follower, "Sarah, I feel betrayed. You are the one we are waiting for. No one else will reform America You have broken my heart." Numerous fans feel as if they were teased. Since leaving her Governorship in 2009, she has repeatedly cast speculation on her candidacy for 2012. A Tea Party rally where thousands of Palin's fans cheered her on in Des Moines, Iowa, she gave a campaign themed speech. After reading all of the Palin comments throughout the Web, I concluded that they all have a common theme. If I were to sum up the comme nts in one word, it would be betrayal. To quote another fan who defended Palin's decision to not run and felt as if other parties were sabotaging her candidacy, "Her enemies rise up from the fetid underbellies of their slime encrusted rocks, pull their vilest, most nauseating dreck out of the putrid recesses of the scum clogged shells they use for brains in order to smear her, and miraculously Sarah becomes more popular." In plain terms, people come out of nowhere and attempt to bash Palin. No matter how hard they attempt to hurt her character, Palin still remains professional, unscathed and bows out like a lady. One particular comment asked Palin if the outrageous claim of impropriety stated the recently published book by Joe McGinniss.
An unauthorized biography written by Joe McGinniss, The Rogue: Searching for the real Sarah Palin, has many character killing statements throughout the book. First, McGinniss tells us that while Palin was dating her current husband Todd, Palin had a six-month affair with Glen Rice. At the time of the alleged affair, Rice was a college basketball player. Presently, Rice plays in the NBA. An existing rumor is also allegedly confirmed in the book. The rumor being, Palin had an affair with her husband's business partner in 1996. McGinniss also states that Palin smoked marijuana with a college professor in Alaska and used other narcotics with her husband Todd, while on a snowmobile outing with friends. The publisher of The Rogue is Crown, a division of Random House. In a statement from the publisher, McGinniss began his research for the book in late 2008. The book is generally based on Alaska's political and business affairs and obviously Palin's personal, political, and family life. Palin threatened to sue Crown after the publishing of The Rogue, which uses "nameless sources" and "false statements" about Palin's family. A source that is close to Palin's family, interviewed with ABC News. The source informed ABC that the Palin family is furious and they want to know why Random House (the publishing company that owns Crown) knowingly published false statements. Random House is a well known publisher and is at the top of their industry. Palin's lawyer, Tiemessen state that the publisher was well aware that the statements were untrue and went forward with the publishing regardless. In a statement that Tiemessen wrote, explains in detail the Palin's disgust, "The final work that was published contains most of the stories that McGinniss wrote were nothing more than tawdry gossip that amounted to the wishful fantasies of disturbed individuals," while adding, "Since both your company and your author, truly know your statements are false, admitted they ha ve no bases in fact, but decided to publish in order to harm Governor Palin's family, you and Mr. McGinniss have defamed the Palin's." As you would imagine, McGinniss and the Palin's are feuding to say the least. Sarah Palin had a tall fence installed at her home in Alaska when McGinniss moved in to a house next door to the Palin's. Despite Palin's effort to keep her personal life personal by installing the fence, McGinniss was still able to retrieve dirt on the Palin family and is painfully obvious within the pages of The Rogue.
As if Sarah Palin didn't have enough to deal with, she is also suspected of mortgage fraud in reference to the purchase of a home in Arizona. Apparently, Palin was involved with a company that purchased a home in Scottsdale Arizona. Reportedly, the sale of the house may have been improperly acquired due to improper foreclosure proceedings. Due to the tainted foreclosure procedures, the owner of the home is in question. The two major issues of the transaction are fraudulent signatures during the home's re-financing, and fraudulent signatures of the home's foreclosure transaction, prior to Palin's company purchasing the property. These findings may question if the sale of the house was in fact legal.
The Million Dollar Opportunity
If Sarah Palin is a bit short on cash, there's a way she can make a quick million. Apparently, http://www.ashleymadison.com mailed Sarah Palin and her husband Todd a business proposition. The proposition is in the form of a lie detector test. Sarah and her husband Todd will be asked questions about their infidelities. If they pass the test, they are one million dollars richer. In addition, the Palin's must agree to allow them to exclusively broadcast the results of the lie detector test. The website is not considered a fly by night site that only a few people visit. They are "The world's leading married dating service for discreet encounters". They have approximately 11.8 million members worldwide. I visited the website searching for information that explains the site's purpose. The site explains, "Our role is to keep them" (unfaithful people) "from taking unnecessary risks while they explore the feelings that got them to our website to begin with. Helping individuals stay ing safe and anonymous impact the potential outcome of their decisions." On their homepage it states, "Life is short, have an affair". I don't know the Palin's financial situation, but one million dollars for a few moments of their time sounds like a tempting offer. Worse case scenario, the public will find out that the statements in The Rogue are true. Most Americans already believe the rumors. The vast majority of people believe if someone takes the time to put something in writing, then it must be true. It's not a good general rule to live by, but it's true nonetheless. If the website has public stock, I strongly suggest you purchase as many shares as possible quickly. After the lie detector test is broadcasted, the stock will go through the roof.
The Republican field for the 2012 election has been thinned out. Although the pickings are slim, The Republican Party remains in search of the best Presidential candidate. Georgia's businessman Herman Cain has recently been surging in the polls. He has reportedly held an executive position for a pizza company. The two front runners are the former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney and Rick Perry, Governor of Texas. Neither candidate has the full backing and confidence of the Republican Party. It looks like 2012 may be yet another year Americans must choose the best of the worst.
