I must respectfully disagree. There's no comparison between what Ross Perot did and what Sarah Palin has done. I'd have mountains more respect for somebody seeking a higher office who resigns their currently held position in order to focus their efforts than these criminals we have now, who draw a paycheck at the taxpayer's expense while running for an entirely separate office. By definition, at best it's conflict of interest! At worst, it's common thievery! I think that the law should immediately terminate the current public employment of any office holder who officially runs for a higher or lower office while actively serving IN an office at the time. Have you considered equating this to the commercial world? What employer in their right mind is going to pay for you or I to completely abandon our work functions for them with their FULL KNOWLEDGE in order to focus on getting a better job?! Have you tried that out lately? Let me know if you get away with it and end up keeping your previous job if the better one doesn't work out!

Truthfully, neither you, nor I, nor anybody else here really knows what Sarah Palin is up to. Everybody has an idea, a suspicion, a doubt, or a theory. But nobody really knows. There's no comparison between her and Perot. Perot quit when he was well onto his way to a win. He got cold feet after listening to the wrong people. Palin, if ANYTHING has simply resigned her Governorship for who knows why at this point. But even if she DID do this in order to focus on pursuing a higher office, then she garners more respect than Perot, or any of the other jackass political thieves who take a paycheck for serving in an office which they IGNORE while running for another.

The only thing I know for certain right now is that the left and the RINOs (and the GOP for that matter) seem to be terrified of her. There's a lot that we don't know. But somebody knows something, otherwise there wouldn't be so much panic about her recent move away from Alaska state politics. Right now, at this point I'm counting this as a positive thing. That's about all anybody can say about what she's done at this point.

To call her a quitter however, is simply unfounded.

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.
