Did you, by chance, happen to use reason, research, wisdom or common sense to think this “Quitter” issue through?

How exactly was a non-millionaire, chief family breadwinner, one married to a union oil field worker and Mom with 5 children, supposed to personally pay out millions (she didn’t have) in legal fees to defend herself against 17 (and counting) frivolous, George Soros inspired lawsuits (of which none ultimately prevailed), and effectively serve the interests of her state? By AK constitutional statute, and ONLY because of the strongest ethics reform laws of any state in the nation (ones that SHE ushered into law during his first year in office), not one single tax payer dollar could be used to pay any legal fees arising from these spurious, endless, politically motivated law suits.

Gov. Palin took the path of honor and valour, putting the needs and best interests of her state and family, foremost. She had few resources other than her work ethic to fall back on, no guaranteed job waiting awaiting her, yet she willingly took the selfless path in order to advance and protect the interests of the people she most cared for.

Perhaps, if she had George Soros type crony crooks supporting her, she could have operated like Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Are you suggesting Bill Clinton took the correct approach by not resigning, clinging to power, dragging our entire nation & the world through vile partisanship and gridlock, while lying though his teeth in order to retain his office at any cost, using the media as useful idiots to fight his battles for him, all the while turning the office of Presidency into a punch line for comedians?

The governing, moral principle you choose to ignore is this: Gov. Palin had truth and honor on her side, yet she took the selfless, honorable path and put the best interests of her state’s citizens, employees and families, first.

Bill (and Hillary) Clinton, had only lies and deceit on his side, yet he took the low path of character assassination by use of ruthless, pit-bull lawyers to preserve his lust for political power - and the hell with decency, honor or respect for his family, our nation or the prestige of the Presidency - he cared only for what was in his personal best interest.

Adversity doesn’t destroy one’s character, it reveals it.

Governor Palin retains the moral strength, courage, honor and high respect we hold for her today in part because she resigned, not in spite of it.

Thank you, Governor Palin. We proudly stand ready to help you restore our great nation to that “shining city on a hill’ we long for.
