    The woman's a quitter. It really is that simple. She said "f-you" to the people of Alaska and gave up. I've heard a lot of spin on it, the prominent talking heads still fawn all over her, but they're just not convincing me. In her resignation speech, it sounded like she'd prefer to be some kind of community organizer than governor. So, I'm inviting my fellow EO'ers to change my mind. I was initially very taken with her and maybe the informed and wise debaters here can get me back there.
    We have always said at one time or another, we need someone in office that is not of the DC bunch. When one comes along she/he gets hammered by the press and others. When she/he, gets themselves into position to continue to attach the DC group, she/he gets hammered by the press and others. We ask for a third party, why? They will just get hammered by the press and others.

    I liked her speech. I really like “I don’t go with the flow, we are fisherman and we know if you’re going with the flow, you are dead in the water, only dead fish go with the flow”

    Now some say she is a quitter. Ok she did quit for the good of her state, so what. You really think she quit without purpose?

    The "jumper" speaks....
    There are people in need of help. Charity is one of the nobler human motivations. The act of reaching into one's own pockets to help a fellow man in need is praiseworthy and laudable. Reaching into someone else's pocket is despicable and worthy of condemnation.
    --Walter E. Williams

    "Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive."

    "The best defense against usurpatory government is an assertive citizenry."
    --William F. Buckley

    "When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right."
    -- Victor Hugo

    I am not a Sarah Palin fan. I do, however, support her right to run for any office or aspire to any position she decides she wants to. Having said that, any individual who chooses to rise to a high profile position is, simply by making that choice, sticking their head out there to be "chopped" off by the opposition. John McCain described it as Wack-a-Mole, the arcade game. It doen't matter if it is Sarah Palin, or John Kerry, or Dennis Kucinich, or anyone else for that matter..Anyone who does not understand that is awfully naive. In effect, she deserves it.

    Really Rocket, you don't have to like OR agree with anything that I say. That is your right just as it is mine to say it. Do you however really think that the name calling is needed? Counter the argument but calling me a "wack job" is out of line. I don't think I said like about you. If so, it was not intended. Most who resort to that sort of retort do so because their argument is weak so they feel the need to belittle their opponent.

    Ok, I agree. I got a little carried away. Please accept my sincere apologies for name calling. Please remove "wack job" from my previous post. The rest stays.

    OKEE DOKEE!! Your lack of valid argument still points to a very weak stance.

    I isn't an argument, valid or invalid. It is a collective observation.
