Bob Dole for starters. Didn't Reagan also leave CA as governor to pursue the Presidency?

As for the Clinton statement, do you or do you not understand that, sometimes, politicians do what they do even though they may not whole-heartedly support the person or policies? Your purist ideology on this is admirable, but it isn't political reality. There isn't a Sarah supporter out there that dislikes her stumping for McCain. But most understand the political reality. You, on the other hand, are using it as another stick to beat your drum of 'she's unelectable'.

You didn't answer my question about her resignation. Do you or do you not agree with wasting tax payer money on frivolous lawsuits that derail to agenda of the person you elected? Would you or would you not be pissed if the person you elected was spending the majority of her time meeting with lawyers to form a defense instead of doing the job you elected them for?

Dole resigned from the Senate after winning the nomination. Palin quit Alaska to do what? So far, write a book.

Reagan quit as Governor of California? Wow. News to me.

If you don't know even the basics of recent presidential history then there is no point continuing this conversation. Have a nice day.

And to close the loop...I do not agree with your assessment of Palin's resignation. I believe it was a mistake on every level and showed weakness not strength. It exposed her to this line of questioning should she ever run for POTUS (I don't think she ever will)....."Mrs. Palin, we know what it took to get you to quit as governor - what will it take to get you to quit as POTUS".

Anybody who thinks that any opponent won't use that hammer is hopelessly naive. And even though a small number of her acolytes might dismiss it, the American voting populace will not. The next POTUS will need 70 million votes to win. Palin could never get 70,000,000 Americans to pull the lever for her. Unelectable.

Great post.

Many bash Palin and Republicans using liberal media lies. You are right that Sarah was forced out. She had to spend her own money to fight an endless barrage of frivolous lawsuits. Financially Palin could not afford to stay in office.The media lied and said she quit. So, parroting the liberal media's lies, many so-called conservatives and democrats say Palin quit and that she is a quitter

I don't care if she supports this candidate or not or that every little decision is perfect . I care that Sarah will stop the growth of government (stop socialism), get the government out of the economy,etc. In short I care that Sarah Palin will make the U.S. freer, stronger and more prosperous and of course I know she will. Many so called “conservatives” demand an unattainable perfection of any Republican. And even more ridiculous these same geniuses demand an unattainable perfection of the whole Republican party. So they bash Sarah Palin and the GOP unfairly using liberal mainstream media lies.

It is ironic that these “purists” are actually helping the democrats/Marixsm/Socialism by their nonsupport, bashing of the Republican politicians. These so called “conservatives” who hate Republicans aid the Democrats and the media in the goal of the Destruction of the Republican party , the only viable thing that can stop the Democrats/socialism from turning the U.S. into a socialist state. I'm sure the media and Democrats appreciate all their efforts for the cause of socialism.These "purists" have no knowledge of economics or anything and couldn't run a lemonade stand but they set themselves up as judges over great conservatives like Sarah Palin.

I agree Mccain is a Marxist/statist. His McCain-Fiengold and Amnesty for illegals proves that.But even McCain and the other RINOS didn't vote for the Democrats socialist government healthcare.But that is overlooked by "purists".Hey Purists back away from the Democrat party sign and your picture of Carl Marx.

But I support Sarah Palin. I don't care that every little thing she says or does is absolutely perfect or not. I know overall Palin has all of the conservative beliefs that I have .And she has the intelligence, ability, leadership qualities, communication abilities, and the charisma to be a great president. I don't care if she supports this candidate or not or that every little decision is perfect . I care that Sarah will stop the growth of government (stop socialism), get the government out of the economy,etc. In short I care that Sarah Palin will make the U.S. freer, stronger and more prosperous and of course I know she will.

I wonder what percentage of these so-called "conservatives" constantly bashing the GOP while not saying anything about the Democrats' ongoing destruction of the United STates, I wonder how many of them are democrat shills posing as "conservatives". Hey Purists back away from the Democrat party sign and your picture of Carl Marx.
