The “quitter” label won’t stick to Palin, as long as you’re factoring in the actual facts that led to her resignation.Exactly right. It completely ignores how the goofy Alaskan rules allowed marxist wingnuts to continue to batter the Governor with bogus complaints that distracted a large amount of staff time. It was counter-productive for Alaska. She had a strong Lt. Governor and she had already accomplished much that he could finish.
Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell's Statement on Palin's Resignation
Governor Sarah Palin leaving the microphone after announcing her retirement. It was claimed that she said, "I'm not retreating, I'm just attacking in a different direction." This is the face of a lady who means business and is going places. To those who suggest I quit?! I fart in your general direction. [it could not be confirmed whether she said this or not].
It completely ignores how the goofy Alaskan rules allowed marxist wingnuts to continue to batter the Governor with bogus complaints that distracted a large amount of staff time. It was counter-productive for Alaska. Not only were her staff tied up with dealing with all of the calculated legal assaults against her, those attacks were literally bankrupting her family, and making it impossible for her to actually perform her duties as Governor.
It makes me nuts to watch the "quitter" theory continually advanced on this website. It was thoroughly debunked at the very outset, yet it persists among a segment of the public who (of all people) should really know better.
The most delicious irony in all of this, are the unintended consequences involved. Had the Democrat operatives simply left Governor Palin alone, she'd still be far away in Alaska, doing her job, and not in the lower 48, being the leading crusader against Obama's Socialist agenda.
They thought that they'd destroy her, but all they did was to make her much bigger, and a thousand times more visible and relevant.
