I’d rather vote for a quitter who had the best interests of her constituents and budget in mind than someone who stays in office, wastes the taxpayers money on frivolous lawsuits and is so tied down with them, can’t do the job she was elected to do.
You’d prefer a RINO like Romney.
Embrace your beliefs.
If FR represented the majority of American voters we would not be in the mess we are now. The hard fact is that we freepers are a minority faction in American politics. If we here (and I see that you have been here quite a while) cannot unanimously buy the Palin resignation story as described by her FR supporters then what chance does she have of convincing the exponentially larger voting bloc that has never spent a minute here?
That's a less that deep analysis of all that was going on, but you're entitled to it.
1. I think the legal environment in Alaska made her continuation in office an extreme financial burden, and this is verifiable.
2. I think she had political and financial reasons that were far better handled in the lower 48.
3. I think that there was enough time for her republican replacement to gain the recognition he needed after assuming her seat as governor. IOW, she gave her replacement a huge leg up in the next election...she gave him incumbent status.
Others are free to ignore all those reasons. After all, this is, for the time being, a free country.
Including Tommy Thompson, Patrick Lucy, Raul Castro (who all gave up their governorships to become ambassadors to postage stamp states) there have been 205 governors who resigned before completing their elected terms.
Dont want a quitter as President huh?
So you’d rather have a Marxist? Will you vote for SP if nominated?
Those “FReepers” and R’s who wont vote for SP are QUITTERS, saddling us with a Marxist for four more years.
Good grief — see if you can nominate Mitt. Yes I will vote for him, but he can’t beat SP so I am not worried about it
