The Freepers who give Palin grief as a “quitter” apparently missed the entire spectacle of crazy Alaskan leftists filing constant suits against her for ridiculous “offenses.” If she HADN’T dropped out of that fray the cost to the state of these nuisance lawsuits would have been in the millions. Good on her for denying those loons their little sport.
That’s right.
They somehow think the right thing would have been to let the people pay a huge price just so one person could keep their position of power.
Palin gave up her power, for the sake of the people. In doing so, she kept her promise.

Is this enough experience for a stint as president?
Obama has shown significant naievete and incompetence because of his lack of executive experience. In some cases it has been to our benefit as he has been unable to put in place all of the silliness he wanted.
Personally I would prefer a conservative candidate who had the experience to do more than just come up with a good plan. I would want him/her to be able to put it in place.
I agree with a lot of what Palin says, but would she be able to put it in place? Just because she was successful in fighting the oil companies in Alaska does not mean she could successfully reform Soc Sec, Medicare, or the budget process that has resulted in decades of overspending.
And how did Sarah respond after "quitting?" She hit the ground running and helped forge a national grassroots movement which gave rise to a new political force in American politics: the TEA Party.
And what was the result? The TEA Party-led Republicans scored historic victories in the 2010 midterm elections and took the House by storm.
Sarah has shown more than enough leadership and executive savvy. The "quitter" moniker simply doesn't apply, and it is the height of propaganda when viewed in the overall context of her career before, during and after her time as governor.
Sarah didn't need to stay in her state and be kept in a box by her foes. She rightly recognized that it was time to lead a national charge towards restoring our Free Republic. So she sidestepped them and became the national phenomenon which she still is, and she has produced impressive results.
In Sarah Palin, there hasn't been a more passionate and potent threat to the Establishment of both parties in my lifetime, and I was born in 1965. There is no politician in the nation whom I trust more, even though I might disagree on some details.
