“Reagan didn’t quit the Governerhip like Palin did . HUGH difference.”

Indeed - remember when the country had leaders like Washington and Lincoln. Imagine what it would be like for them to turn down the highest office “for family reasons.”

This country lacks true patriots, and by that I do not mean the guys and gals who only play patriots on TV.

George Washington probably could have been proclaimed King of the United States. He set a long precedent of having only two terms in the Presidency. Washington stepped down for his own reasons, not because he couldn't win again.
