Truth is, she resigned because of the Alinsky/ACORN/Obama attack method, translated in this instance into constant filings of ethics complaints to hamstring her in office with constant legal expenses and constant consumption of time and energy dealing with FAKE CHARGES and fraudulent filings. Do you all know that one of the 18 ethics complaints she defeated was filed by a lawyer on behalf of a NONEXISTENT PERSON??!?!? Sarah’s attorney responded to the suit with one sheet, saying “no such person lives in Alaska” and it was dropped. But she has to pay him for this stuff! IMHO any lawyer making such a filing should be instantly and permanently disbarred.

Whatever she will or won’t do, it is true that Piven/Cloward attack methods that are designed to overwhelm govt cannot work when the victim is no longer IN govt. So in that sense she has defanged their primary attack method. Whether she is personally too disgusted with the harm done to her family to even continue in politics, nobody knows, but it’s a good bet. People say ‘politics ain’t beanbag’, meaning it’s a hardball, serious game. But it’s worse than that… it’s more like Jesse Jackson said of Obama into the microphone Jackson thought was off.. “gonna cut his nuts out.. mmph”.
