Sarah Palin's Going Rouge An American Life Book #30

I know this post will generate several opinions. You either like Sarah or hate her, and I can deal with that. Personally, she intrigued me. Not because she was the best politician ever, but because she seemed to want to tell it like it was. This book, written by her, is a way of understanding where she came from, what she wanted to do and where she was going. Did she succeed. Not really, but not necessarily because she wasn't the trained speaker that other candidates were, but rather because she was made to be a scapegoat for failure. She prided herself on being her own person, and making decisions based on what was best for the people she was serving. She didn't care if she was a Republican by voting status or if she was siding with the Democrats. She cared about her city, her state, and her country. The Republican election committee made her say, act and be someone she wasn't and when she bucked the system she was considered to be "going rogue". I don't know that she would have been the best person to be elected, maybe she'll run again on her own terms and we'll find out. What I do know is having read this book, I feel even more strongly about how the true picture of who the candidates really are is something that we very rarely ever see. We see who they want us to believe them to be, or who the press wants us to see. And if the press doesn't like you or agree with you LOOK OUT! I respect Sarah for writing this book and at least to those who read it exposing the truth of the situation. Maybe if a few more American Politicians decide to Go Rouge, we might actually have a fighting chance of getting the country back to the Glory Days. You Go Sarah!
