Whatever your thoughts on Reagan, he wasn't a quitter.

No need to read any further.

President Reagan was a Moviestar and was well loved by *Hollywood* he did not experience the vitriol Sarah Palin has from the Media, Hollywood and Crazy Liberals...

Many of Dean Martin’s Roasts are Major Moviestars roasting Ronald Reagan....

In addition...Ronald Reagan never had to endure what kind of Family Man he was..

Totally different Generation Ronald Regan had to deal with...

Nothing compared to what we have today...

If someone looks hard enough, they can usually find it. Hackneyed is right.

I was attacked in a private email by someone who shall remain anonymous suggesting that I didn’t have the utmost respect for you and Sarah......I am writing here so you know publicly that I do.

“Whatever your thoughts on Reagan, he wasn’t a quitter.”

Exactly!!

Reagan was not a quitter. Palin is a quitter. She walked out on the people of Alaska when being the governor of AK was going to hold back her personal ambitions. Abandoned the people that voted for her to seek fame and fortune in the lower 48. Disgusting!

Ronald Reagan would never have willingly abandoned the people of CA! I dumped Palin when I learned she walked out of Alaska and into a Fox News job, got the big advance for a book deal, was getting big speaking fees, etc.

Why Rush, Hannity and other “conservative” commentators still praise Palin is beyond me. Quitting an office you campaigned for and took an oath to fulfill is most definitely NOT a conservative principle!

No worthy comments. The article truly speaks for itself. There’s no way I could improve on that.

Had you continued reading, in the next paragraph he wrote that, like Reagan, “she is no quitter.”

I am tired of this endless litany of comparisons between Reagan and Palin. There just really aren’t any, it’s a stretch, different times and different people.

No comment, just two quotes from the essay.....

1)"There are, of course, far too many differences between the life and career of Ronald Reagan, and that of Sarah Palin to make a litigimate comparison"

2) Whatever your thoughts on Reagan, he wasn't a quitter."

No comment necessary.

I too was disappointed when Palin left the governorship, but if I was fighting lawsuits right and left from idiots and was over $500,000 in debt trying to defend them and the lawyers were hounding me for money I might have to do the same thing.

The thing is.....that is not the excuse she gave when she quit or on TV months later.

-"Quitting an office you campaigned for and took an oath to fulfill is most definitely NOT a conservative principle!"

Not sure which end this crap is coming out of, but it sure does have a foul smelly odor.

I see that you think it's preferable then to go running around the country on the government's dime while at the same time looking for another job (like most of these current jokers), all the while you're getting paid and neglecting your present duties for a job that you previously campaigned and got elected to do.

Yeah, I see how 'honorable' your thinking goes.

I totally agree with you....

We do not live in a Ronald Reagan World, are issues are NOT the same....

Comparing Sarah Palin to Ronald Reagan is ridiculous IMO....

Ronald Ragan did not live a Simple Country life..He was very wealthy, was part of the Hollywood Community...Thier was no shame in that, he was not demonized for being rich and associating with the wealthy.....

Frank Sinatra praised Reagan and said Liberal Policies were a thing of the past, when he was interviewed at the Republican national Convention...

Totally different time in our history.....
