just as she’s cut bait on political life.

Guess you listened to MSNBC's Mitchell instead of paying attention to Palin's statement.

Sorry bud, but political life is what it is. If you decide to enter then you need to stand by your commitments.

I can’t back someone who’s going to cut and run when the going gets tough. If she thinks being governor is tough, she would have one hell of a rude awakening living in the White House.

If she never plans on running for president, she may have made the right decision. If she does, I won’t be supporting her. Not after this...

I’ve spent too many years in my life wishing a candidate would live up to my expectations, only to have them fail that. I just don’t live in the dream world any longer.

I’m just not going to hope beyond hope that Sarah will work things out.

National office will dwindle down to the unhealthily singleminded (Clinton, Obama), the timeserving emirs of Incumbistan (Biden, McCain) and dynastic heirs (Bush). Our loss.

I posted a similar sentiment on another thread. What has happened to Sarah Palin and her family is why normal, decent people do not enter into the political realm. We. (meaning society, msm. etc., etc.) have produced a petri dish of dysfunctional, ego-driven people who thrive in this seedy underworld. We have produced a crop of corrupt leeches who take care of themselves and the club that keeps them in power. An oligarchy immune from prosecution or responsibility.
