Negative, Sarah Palin

I generally am just entertained by the random nonsense the flows from Sarah Palin's mouth hole. I've told my friends that if Maya Angelou and Dr. Seuss were first cousins and grew up in the same trailer park, Sarah would be their inbred love child. I am convinced her most recent speech was sponsored by Wild Turkey. I typically cant help but not take her incoherent rambling seriously as I cant really decipher what it is shes actually saying. I mean...I hear the words but cant make out her point. Its odd and tragically hilarious. I read somewhere her dad was a retired teacher? Did he teach wood shop?

Why Wouldn't Clay Hunt Pass?

I am biased I guess because I already know what happens when a veteran commits suicide. I've been living it for nearly a year and a half. My husband, a recently retired Marine with 20 years of service took his life in 2013. He left behind myself and our three kids. It's been devastating. I back the Clay Hunt Act because I can't imagine another child crying themselves to sleep at night because their dad is gone. Sure, they had cried many night before as daddy was deployed nearly 3 years total of their life. It was different then, I could tell them he would be back soon. He was our hero. He was not with us so that other girls and boys could grow up in a safe place.  Now when they cry for him all I can do is lie right down next to them and cry too. I can only tell them I am sorry. He loved them to the moon and back and he's now up protecting God in heaven. How could anyone not vote to save  not just the brave men and women  but their little children who sacrificed most of...
