Look! The RINOS are coming out in droves!

The RINO's aren't hard to detect.

Still,such a senseless resignation is tough to justify. To have thrown such a wrench into Alaska’s state government for no other reason than personal ambition may be a strategic maneuver, but one that ignores the fact that resigning an elected office is serious business that has a real effect on government in Alaska .

She did a good job in the 2.5 years she held the position, good enough to be chosen for Vice-President of the United States. Palin has a capable Lt Governor taking over and she has cleaned up the corruption there.

but one that ignores the fact that resigning an elected office is serious business that has a real effect on government in Alaska .

She can't do her job if moonbats are filing bogus charges against her at a cost of millions of dollars to the state can she?

There's the problem, right there. You don't believe her stated reasons. Either that, or you just didn't, can't, or won't read the whole text of her announcement.

To see whether this was really a savvy political move, just take the names of every freeper who is saying it was, and look at all their posts over the last 6 months.

If you find a SINGLE FREEPER who supporter Sarah who ever said the smart thing for her to do was resign, post it. I haven’t found one person yet who said Sarah should resign to help her political career.

On the contrary, there has been LOTS of posts about how she wasn’t a quitter, and how great it was that she wouldn’t back down while being attacked. About how much better she’d be in 2012 having served an entire term as Governor, and how she’d show how to get a state through the Obama depression.

Now of course, many Freepers are blindly screaming that this was a great idea, and that anybody who thinks otherwise is a RINO traitor.

But none of them called for her to resign on Thursday.

If we didn’t know she had already resigned, and someone posted a thread saying “If Sarah is serious, she would Resign”, I’m sure these same people would be out in force trying to get the freeper banned for his absurd suggestion.
