I am saying that a cackle of freepers swear that quitting halfway through is the smartest way to position oneself for the big-time.
I know, like a certain former Republican governor.
Years ago, Sarah Palin met the challenge of taking on the good ole boy network in Alaska, including Big Oil. She was opposed by her own party, but kept on going because she wanted to do the right thing.
And Palin won. Corruption and cronyism were her targets, and some of them went to prison.
Then Palin became Governor. And she resigned because she knew it was her the political psychopaths wanted, not the office of the Governor itself. In resigning, she drew the fire away from the office and away from the people of Alaska. This saved the people of Alaska from defeat. (If the head of state is defeated, the people lose. Get it?)
In resigning, Palin drew fire to herself, and she fought back against the left as a private citizen.
And she won.
