So it’s ok to quit if you’ve been on the job a long time?
You’ve been in the Senate for 30 years, if you quit, you’re not a quitter?
You might have the “experience” issue confused with some other issue surrounding the word “quitter”.
It is true that the time that Palin would have spent as Governor would be executive experience. By resigning, she would not get the full 4 years of executive experience.
But it’s still “quitting” whether you’re a Senator from Kansas for 30 years or a Governor of Alaska for 4.
Basically, what you’re saying is that it’s ok to quit if you have the nomination.
It’s one thing to walk out of a job to take a better position at a different job.
It’s quite another to just walk out.
That’s the difference.
That’s why comparing Dole and others who take administration positions to Sarah Palin is apples and oranges.
I know you’re trying hard to justify it, to make it appear honorable, and I give you points for effort.
It must be hard trying to rationalize it.
That’s why I’m not even going to try.
It’s actually quite liberating once you let go of making excuses for politicians who fall short.
You really should try it.
No more excuses for Bush, no more excuses for Palin.
And thank God, no more excuses for McCain.
It’s time politicians start proving themselves to us, instead of us making excuses for them.
If more people did that, we’d have much better elected representatives.
