Hmmmm.... I smell RINO meat.
Spoken like a good liberal troll. Ignore the facts and spread the "progressive" talking points. You would probably be quite a hit over at your home site, DemocrapUnderground.
I would explain the costs to her and her state, but I seriously doubt you would understand... or try to justify more of your "progressive" meme!
Excerpt (with video from her resignation speech)-...Political operatives descended on Alaska last August, digging for dirt. The ethics law I championed became their weapon of choice. Over the past nine months I've been accused of all sorts of frivolous ethics violations - such as holding a fish in a photograph, wearing a jacket with a logo on it, and answering reporters' questions.
Every one - all 15 of the ethics complaints have been dismissed. We've won! But it hasn't been cheap - the State has wasted THOUSANDS of hours of YOUR time and shelled out some two million of YOUR dollars to respond to "opposition research" - that's money NOT going to fund teachers or troopers - or safer roads. And this political absurdity, the "politics of personal destruction" ... Todd and I are looking at more than half a million dollars in legal bills in order to set the record straight. And what about the people who offer up these silly accusations? It doesn't cost them a dime so they're not going to stop draining public resources - spending other peoples' money in their game.
It's pretty insane - my staff and I spend most of our day dealing with THIS instead of progressing our state now. I know I promised no more "politics as usual," but THIS isn't what anyone had in mind for ALASKA.
If I have learned one thing: LIFE is about choices!
And one chooses how to react to circumstances. You can choose to engage in things that tear down, or build up. I choose to work very hard on a path for fruitfulness and productivity. I choose NOT to tear down and waste precious time; but to build UP this state and our country, and her industrious, generous, patriotic, free people! ...
That is what a Patriotic CONSERVATIVE does.
WeekEnd at Bernies..... the GOP is quite dead......
Yeah the fact that I like Nikki Haley must have been a dead giveaway that I’m a liberal troll from DU. Not bowing before the alter of Palin doesn’t make you a liberal.
Well, you sure do a fine job of repeating liberal talking points!
A very interesting 2014 primary, for the two years which would be remaining in the term, may be shaping up -- Congressmen Scott, Mulvaney, and Gowdy are logical possibilities. Add to that the fact that Lindsay Graham's seat is up for election the same year. If Graham runs again (not a sure thing), any of the aforementioned Congressmen may challenge him in a primary. And, of course, Gov. Haley will be up for re-election at the same time.
I live close to the SC line (hence my screen name). I expect to see fireworks over the horizon.
Hers is one of the names bandied about for 2016. I'd be surprised if she isn't interested and no doubt would like help and support from on high.
The eGOP gets what they think they want and she might get what she wants, if she plays ball.
