I don’t lower my standards to Obama. I expect more from conservatives than that. You can’t have an excellent record for a job left undone.
It is like saying you have a great contractor who builds half a house.
She handed over the reigns to LT Gov Sean Parnell with the greatest confidence that he would execute the agenda that they had worked on and shielded the state of Alaska from paying for frivolous lawsuits by paying for them personally.
Yeah, she really sucks
We’re waiting!!!!! Put up or shutup! She accomplish every promised goal that she promise before she left office, all you donis sprout talking points but yet to prove that she didn’t what she set out to do while in office
Half a house...like half an argument?
If she had stayed in office what could she have accomplished while under the barrage of those false frivolous ethics claims...all of which failed. She would have been going bankrupt, spinning her wheels fighting off whether or not it was ok to wear a jacket with a logo, etc. She wouldn't have been able to have a huge effect on the national elections the way she did by campaigning and supporting the Tea Party candidates.
So, stay in office, go bankrupt and accept the fate as prescribed by Andrea McLeod etc. of the RAT Party? Or dodge that bullet and change the national elections? Which one do you really think was better? Which course of action do you think the rats wanted her to take???
But she didn't leave the job 'undone'. Her Lt. Governor, who ran with her, and shared her views on issues, picked right up where she left off.
It's like if a contractor builds half the house, then, because he's continually being harassed by nuisance lawsuits that threaten to bankrupt him, leaves the job to another well respected builder, who he knows will finish the job.
So by your standard an executive who is not president for life or governor for life does not have an excellent record. No political job is ever over unless you are the last president/governor before a revolution.
So rather than sloganeering, the issues are:
1. Was Governor Palin an effective governor while in office.
2. Did her leaving in any way leave the job any more undone than had she left a year and change later?
My view is the answers are yes and no. You can certainly have an opposing view, but the builder analogy is flawed as these jobs are never finished.
Some on here misunderstand that Sarah accomplished every thing on her agenda during her tenure as governor. Nothing was left “undone” as you nitpickers like to say.
At least she took her responsibilities seriously and addressed them. She didn’t vote “present” to hide her true feelings on the issues.
Her job was not left undone, and she left the office in very good, capable hands. Get your facts straight.
Too bad Alaska doesn’t have a “no standing” law to protect the Governor like they do to protect Obama. Palin has already explained why she stepped down and it makes sense to anyone with common sense. There was no law in Alaska (unlike most other states) to protect her from frivolous lawsuits. Therefore the Libs took advantage of it! What don’t you understand about that?
You also can't have an excellent record if you're forced to spend your time constantly battling nuisance lawsuits.
Try to take historical facts and reality into account next time you venture an opinion about something.
Better watch out before Rick James shows up at your house and grinds his dirty boots all over your white suede leather sofa.
She accomplished every single campaign promise she made and a hell of alot more. What did she leave undone? More to the point, what do you think you accomplish by lying about her?
Pay attention, lip-stick. We have better things to do than bring you up to speed on everything you missed because you were passed out drunk with the pool boy. Or is that just another ugly internet rumor?

That is an absolutely idiotic analogy.
A contractor builds a house and then job doesn't exist anymore.
Every governor in the history of the union does the job for a limited amount of time than hands it off to the new governor. The job of "governor" is never completed, unless the state disappears as a political entity.
She had a fairly impressive set of accomplishments while in office, which you seek to negate because you object to the timing of her inevitable handoff to a successor.
That really makes little sense.
