Sarah Palin to Stump in Georgia Aug. 9th – Race features NRA v. Mama Grizzly

ABC's Z. Byron Wolf reports:

Sarah Palin will stump for one of her Mama Grizzlies August
9th. The former Alaska Governor endorsed Karen Handel for Governor
in Georgia and will make a campaign appearance with Handel ahead of the August
10th Primary there, according to a release from Handel’s campaign.

Palin’s endorsement has been coveted by Republican
candidates nationwide and has been
implemented
to some effect
.  

In Georgia, Handel has surged. But former Congressman
Nathan Deal, her competition in the runoff, has a new high profile endorsement
of his own,
from
the NRA
.

Handel, a former Georgia Secretary of State, got 34 percent
of the vote to Deal’s 22 percent in the July 20th primary. Georgia
law requires a runoff if no candidate reaches 50 percent.

Instead of Sarah Palin running all over
the nation campaigning for her 2012
presidency, she needs to stay home
and take care of her children.
It was outrageous that cable news and
all forms of the media displayed more
interest in an unwed mother and her
baby’s daddy than a young lady with
impeccable traits(Chelsea Clinton). I
am not a fan of the Clintons but that was just terrible. Palin is always talking about morals – well these lessons should be taught at home.
Since she is a member of the Tea Party
express maybe she could disseminate the
ideas of morals to them.
By the way please purchase a dictionary – the word is repudiate.

Oh, that’s rich, coming from the party with their members who think Guam will tip over, Hank Johnson, aren’t aware that Arizona shares a border with Mexico, Peggy West, isn’t aware that there are no longer “Two Vietnams”, Sheila Jackson Lee, and basically expect the Nanny Gov’ment to care for them from their cradle to their grave, Peggy Joseph.
Just keep trying to tell us that you lib demonrats are the party of the common people, while you constantly sneer at them with your elitist snobbery.
Hopefully for you no one is noticing.

Palin endorses one candidate while the NRA endorses the other. I’d check the records of both candidates and vote accordingly. Going strictly by endorsements, NRA wins hands down.

I have to wonder if you would be so quick to judge a man who was “running all over the nation”. Why do liberals tout equal rights when it suits them but if a conservative woman wants to run for office or run a company, she’s labeled as a bad mother? Once again liberals prove their hypocritical double standard is perfected to an applied science.
If it’s Chelsea Clinton, Pres Obama’s daughters, one of Palin kids or any other son or daughter of a politician. They should be strictly off limits for reporters and the scrutiny of the public. They didn’t ask for the spotlight. They should be allowed to have a normal life. Way out of line.

I guess you think Sarah Palin or any women who has kids should just sit down and shut up. I for one respect the choice that this woman has made,to stand up for Alaska,putting their best interest at heart.She could have just sit it out but she realized what needed to be done. Just as she understands what needs to be done to put this country that I love back on track. You people can get caught-up in Party Lines if you want. But that’s not productive. Sarah has said time and time again that she would give her support to any candidate that would stand up and Protect our Constitution.I appreciate that she has the boldness to not sit down and shut up. We need more women just like her. And before you start pitching stones.I’m sure you got a few things going on in your own life and family that you need to deal with. The media publicized Sarah’s personal life,she would have preferred I’m sure to have had the privacy of her children left alone.
