Palin's Dereliction of Duty
The American Spectator ^ | July 3, 2009 | Quin Hillyer

Posted on 07/03/2009 2:15:42 PM PDT by EveningStar

Knowing that many, many conservatives will absolutely dump on me for saying this, I can't help myself: Sarah Palin's resignation is an appalling dereliction of duty and a highly cynical move to set herself up for a presidental run for which she is manifestly unqualified.

There’s a better way to dump on Hillyer. Don’t read the crap.

With Sarah’s resignation we can now expose the enemies, at least the resignation will have done that much.

Allow me to be amongst the first to do so.

Have to agree with most of what he said. If you want to be president, you don’t just up and quit an important job, especially in the current situation. It makes it look like she couldn’t handle the pressure. What a mess.

I hope this doesn’t mean we’re stuck with Romney next time. Ugh.

Duty? What would this author know about DUTY? Show me another CONSERVATIVE who comes close to being a servant of the people and her performance AND RECORD prove it.

Fool.

I'm speechless, a very unaccustomed situation.

I need 24 hours to react.

Yup. Some will dump on him, but then again, what is the author doing to Sarah Palin?

Like B. Hussein Obama and Hillary were actually qualified to run for president.

Do any of these clowns realize that the political rule book is about to be torn up? Her supporters don’t care if she resigned, it’s just another talking point for the press. If she runs in 2012 she’ll get the nomination.

Not me. I agree with you and on top of that, this is going to hurt her. Her excuses were lame and she is going to look like a wimp that couldn't take the heat. Well if she can't handle it a governor how is she going to handle the world as President? (this is what the press is going to throw out there, bet on it)
