I truly appreciate what you have to say. Thank you. Really agree with you on the conflict of interest topic. I believe it use to be a politician had to quit their office before they ran for President. Maybe it was just ethical, and we seem to have thrown ethics out the window, in this new ‘improved’ society.

But, I too must respectfully disagree with you, in that Sarah did quit....she quit her job before the end of her term. That, is the definition of a “quitter”...’one who quits’.

Right now, this is the way it is. If at some future juncture it comes out that her resignation enabled crooks to be punished, instead of enabling her to make money with speaking engagements and a book -—I will most certainly eat my words—and be happy to do so. Right now, I believe this spells the end of her political career.

Well! It looks like you and I agree on some things, and disagree on others! In the scope of what we're talking about though, I think we're still on the same side, and I'll count this as a good thing. We'll sit tight and see what happens I suppose. I think either of us will eat our words if we're wrong! I sure will! Thanks for not beating up on me. I've been whacked pretty hard lately...brought most of it on myself! But I appreciate swapping postings with somebody who can shoot back, disagree on minor things, and be civil about it. Thanks!
