Entirely Different circumstances. You claimed Reagan wouldn't have resigned under the same circumstances.
Yes, you are claiming he would have.
You don't know that.
Well, since she is the first governor I know of that did so, it is more likely my view of Reagan is the correct one.
He wouldn't allow the 'legal terrorists' to win.
If Reagan had the same “ethics” laws in California as Sarah Palin had, and he had legal bills piling up from those fraudulent “ethics complaints”, were piling up at the rate of $500,000 every 4 months, and was on target to be in debt to the tune of over $3 million by the end of his term as governor, and was at the same time being sued by the same 0bamabbot vermin from even using any money from his PAC to cover his legal bills, and his entire family was rapidly becoming destitute even as Alaska's government business was being effectively hamstrung and grinding to a halt, you don't know what he would have done. Under those circumstances, the sensible thing that anyone who loves their state would do, is resign. In one stroke, Alaska was once again free to carry on ther business, without evil 0bama lawyers trying to destroy Alaska's government business. The guy Sarah Palin handed over power to was a solid conservative as well. Meanwhile, she was able to devote her energies to finally trying to make some money to make up the massive debts that 0bama and his evil destroyers had but in her family finances.
Well, HER finances now become an issue!
She could have appealed for a legal defense fund and raised millions to help her.
As for Alaska, the People elected her and would have supported her remaining.
She is using that as an excuse for her leaving and giving the Left in Alaska, what they wanted, her out of office.
Sounds like a very smart move to me.
Yes, if you are bored with being Governor and want to raise money and be on the national scene.
Even more importantly, Republicans voters and independents people agree with her according to the latest polls.
They agree with her quitting?
Her poll numbers have shot up since her book came out (Democrats are irrelevant), and the American people had a chance to read her side of the story. It's entirely irrelevant whether you are happy she resigned or not.
No one is denying she isn't popular-NOW.
But she will fade quickly on the political scene.
Nope.
YOU claimed Reagan wouldn't have.
I then asked you “How the heck do you know that?”
Read back in the thread will ya?
It's still there in black and white.
You can't rewrite history so fast when we gave records to prove what you said right here.
She is the first governor to have resigned?
On what planet is that?
Do you want me to give you a list of other governors in this country that have resigned long before she ever did?
Her finances were ALWAYS an issue.
You have not been paying attention have you?
Now why don't you trying paying your bills and feeding your family, when you are making only about $100,000 per year, and your legal bils are piling up at the rate of $500,000 every 4 months?
“She could have appealed for a legal defense fund and raised millions to help her. “
You don't know anything do you?
She already did. The 0bamabot vermin lawyers took legal action to block her from taking any money from any legal defense fund or even her PAC. This was clearly a mission to destroy not just her, they were out to destroy her entire family and her life.
Now she is hitting back and hitting back hard, and bottom feeders like you, who thought they had her pinned down, are not happy about it.
Good!
“Yes, if you are bored with being Governor and want to raise money and be on the national scene.”
Naaaaah.
If you care about feeding you family, and you care about not leaving your children distititute.
“They agree with her quitting? “
Her poll numbers wouldn't be shooting UP if voters did not agree with her account of what really went on and why she resigned would they?
“No one is denying she isn't popular-NOW.
But she will fade quickly on the political scene”
In your dreams.
This happens to be real life.
She has suffered the baptism of fire, been attacked more viciously than any political figure in contemporary history, been written off as finished after the 2008 elections, and still bounced back strongly and confounded her skeptics, and is winning.
The facts don't support your contention.
