But it does though. Social conservative politics are replete with hypocrisy by the peddlers of such Gilead wet dreams, and the orthodox followers of such repressive politics think it's par for the course as long as it pushes forth their agenda (aka willing to look the other way). But the second the hypocrisy of the mouthpieces is called out in public it's all of a sudden blasphemy? Nah, good for the goose, good for the gander.

Now, for be more nuanced, the Palins are just another for-rent figure heads. They never actually subscribed to the social conservative gargabe they fronted under. It's all machinations for the sake of personal enrichment, which is a different criticism altogether than merely having a difference of opinion on the political agenda front. In short, these are not honest actors even in the context of the political debate. It's all a personal enrichment scheme, the politics are just a trojan horse of little personal consequence to them as private grifters.

It may have something to do with politics. Sarah said last year that “we’re not going to be holed up in Wasilla for the rest of our lives”. She still has political aspirations, and perhaps Todd wants nothing to do with it.

Besides, what’s wrong with a little gossip? Good grief, this is social media!

I don’t think Todd enjoyed the spotlight so much.

And I think perhaps the family finances took a nose dive once Palin’s talk show and appearance bookings dried up. What did hubby do anyway in the way of a job?

He probably makes a good wage-Oil field worker.

I don’t think she has political aspirations. Maybe she wants to get back in the spotlight. McCain never should have chosen here as his running mate. It went to her head.

I think some of you like to gossip and use vulgar phrases and make political posts.

Correct. I love all three of these things. What else is social media for?

Good Gawd! I thought my thread would produce a couple of responses, but apparently there are a lot of opinions on the former Governor and VP candidate. Didn't mean to open such a large can of worms. But have at it!
