Sarah Palin Divorce Rumor Is False, Aide Says

By , About.com GuideAugust 1, 2009

Follow me on:

A few online sources are reporting that Sarah Palin and husband Todd are getting a divorce.

"A National Enquirer story exposing previous affairs on both sides led to a deterioration of their marriage and the stress from that led to Palin's resignation as governor of Alaska," claims one such story on AlaskaReport.com.

Responding on Facebook, Palin spokesperson Meg Stapleton categorically denied it.

"Yet again," she wrote, "some so-called journalists have decided to make up a story. There is no truth to the recent 'story' (and story is the correct term for this type of fiction) that the Palins are divorcing. The Palins remain married, committed to each other and their family, and have not purchased land in Montana (last week it was reported to be Long Island).

"Less than one week ago, Governor Palin asked the media to 'quit making things up.' We appreciate that the more professional journalists decided to question this story before repeating it."

It’s obvious to me that Palin is behind these rumors. After all, she can’t win an election based on experience or intellect. She must prove that the “media” has lied to us. If we believe she really does read books & newspapers and understand foreign policy, but the bad guys will stop at nothing to destroy her, then maybe she can win more support. She might not know too much about geography or world issues or even know how to put a sentence together coherently, but she’s a very sly cookie. Just my opinion. Surprised I haven’t seen similar comments.

Kind of like Joe Biden, huh? He said so many boneheaded remarks during the election, that the liberal-run media decided to ignore, he is still way ahead in the “What was he thinking?” category.
Experience and intellect? Funny, President Obama won despite having neither.

Palin divorce rumors just business as usual from the enemies of a real conservative GOP

The Democrat left and GOP elites fear Palin’s popularity with conservative voters as well as her independence from their control and direction. They have done all they can do to destroy her marriage, family, children and her vision for America and will continue to do so.

To the GOP neocon establishment who have trashed and attacked Sarah Palin, Ron Paul, Peter Schiff and other potential Republican candidates far more than the liberal Democrats, your attacks just increase the popularity of Sarah and the Palin For President in 2012 website effort at http://www.palin4pres2012.com where we answer “Why They Hate Sarah”.

It is ashamed. A black man finally over road the
controversy of his skin color to claim an office
that was worthy to be held by a black man, person
of Asian origin, or other a long time ago, and
people are still trying to find a reason why he just
shouldn’t be there.

Wow….you Americans are unbelievable. Your hatred for each other is pathetic. You’re opinionated, obnoxious, and disrespectful with each other ALL THE TIME. I’m so glad I live in a more civilized country.
