“Reagan didn’t quit the Governerhip like Palin did . HUGH difference.”
Indeed - remember when the country had leaders like Washington and Lincoln. Imagine what it would be like for them to turn down the highest office “for family reasons.”
This country lacks true patriots, and by that I do not mean the guys and gals who only play patriots on TV.
Right on. Reagan didn’t quit to make a boatload of money. Palin took the fame and cash and ran...although she did keep her fans on the hook for a bit to stretch out the gravy train.
Ted Kennedy “quit” being a Senator. He was brain dead right up to the end, but he kept the seat, and the salary, and the medical insurance. Hillary Clinton “quit” being a Senator while she was busy campaigning, but kept the seat. Same thing with Obummer and Gifford. They “quit” doing their jobs, but kept the position, and the salary, and the medical insurance. When Sarah Palin could not longer do her job, she “resigned”. That’s the difference.
The reason she didn’t finish out her term are obvious. She was under siege by the left and a media that hated her, and she could do more good for both her state and the country by turning over the reins to Parnell. Having become a national lightning rod and with liberals focusing all their energy on trying to destroy her, her practical effectiveness as governor was diminished. The governor was being harassed 24/7. It was a major time consumer, and a major, major expense on a family with middle class assets. She made the right call.
