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.
Politicians owe a duty to work hard to the people that voted for them. It’s hard to do your job when you’re in New Hampshire or Iowa. If politicians can’t give 100% to the people who voted for them because they’re running for President, they should consider resigning.

Why do the voters care why the politician is leaving? Whey do the voters care if they’re taking a “better position at a different job” They’re still not getting what they voted for. And politicians do leave all the time, and apparently you’re among the first to consider it at all unusual.
