Her children have suffered from one attack after another.

I suspect she just got tired and said: what should I do to keep my family intact?

a lot of women discard their career for family...for raising kids or for a sick spouse.

It’s just that the beltway who ridiculed her can only understand ambition...

as for her job: She was spending all her time fighting fake ethics attacks anyway. The pipeline project is done. Her successor can do the job just as well....

Tenacity? She quit.

You don't know the scope of her decision yet, so chill out and drink some decaf.

You may be engaging in the equivalent of accusing George Washington of quitting the military so he could go into politics.

Let's see what she does next before soiling our pants in front others, shall we?

A. If Washington (or any true hero) had quit before his job as General was done you might have something there. But he didn't and you don't.

B. Take you condescending attitude and stick it.

Take your ignorant judgmentalism of someone who has ALREADY proven her worth to the people of Alaska and America, and your conclusion-jumping ignorance, and suck on 'em, tool.

Hurts to find your hero has feet of clay, doesn’t it?

I wouldn't know, it's never happened to me.

How are those daily media coordination meetings going, Rahm?

If you're not getting flak you're not over the target...

Looks like I'm hitting the bullseye.

Fixed, and you sure are.

How many states have you successfully governed, superstud?

How many millions of conservatives have you given hope to?

How many times have you been crucified by the press for being a heterosexual Christian conservative?

Yeah, I thought so, ZERO on all counts.

Now go log on to DU, they miss you.

Way to answer my points. Just what I'd expect from a "7 year old". Since you started the ad hominem fest, I'll play.

Fortunately, there aren't very many of you around here at FR. Conservatives tend to be above the curve in intelligence and perception, usually by quite a margin, so I'll just chalk you up to an anomaly, perhaps caused by a prenatal X-ray or bout of alcoholism your mom had.

Drop off. You won't be missed. Let some triple digit IQ types take a swing at bat. You're embarrassing our cause as well as yourself.

You made no points.

My CV has nothing to do with Palin or her decision to quit in Alaska with forty percent of her term in front of her.

You new kids seem to think that barking wins...it doesn't.

Either your memory is failing, or your eyesight is as poor as your powers of deliberation. Here old timer, read my words again:

How many states have you successfully governed, superstud?

How many millions of conservatives have you given hope to?

How many times have you been crucified by the press for being a heterosexual Christian conservative?

Last chance to prove you aren't an intellectual midget and an envious Palin-hater because you can't understand that in order to step up a ladder, you have to leave the rung you're on, grandpa. Your criticism is hollow, your judgment is infantile, and Sarah is 1000 times the asset to this country that you'll ever be.

Those are not points. They are questions. And, your questions (not points) have no relevance to Palin’s actions, which were, imo, weak and ill-advised.

She did what's best for the people that elected her....the MSM’s pre-occupation with her destruction was interfering with the operation of the Governor’s office. Failure to see or acknowledge that, by extension, makes you part of Alaska's problem.

OK little guy, I'm done with you. I don't try to teach pigs to sing, and you've got slop dribbling from the sides of your maw. If you can't recognize interrogatives, either you need to upskill, or I need to find someone brighter to debate with.

Your opinion of Sarah's actions is not only of no consequence, it is ill-formed and myopic.

She knows what she's doing. Based on her track record of unmitigated success in the face of virtually impossibly odds, I'll bet on her and against you, Mr. Seven-years-worth-of-nothing.

As long as Mr. Richardson would promise to discontinue his practice of absconding with classified documents by stuffing them down his trousers.

I thought it was Sandy Burglar who did that.

I don't live in Alaska, but my mother was born there. :)

And she isn't running in 1212 either.

I think it's a little late for that, anyway.

"I can't help myself: Sarah Palin's resignation is an appalling dereliction of duty and a highly cynical move to set herself up for a presidental run for which she is manifestly unqualified.

So Obama is qualified to be president only two-something years as a mediocre, do-nothing Senator? But Sarah Palin as Governor of Alaska is "manifestly unqualified." And the State run Drive-By-Media is upset that people are turning away from them.

This article is from a conservative publication, and the writer is talking about Palin, not Obama.
