Yeah, yeah. I’m an elitist. I think you should actually do the job you were hired to do. How awful.

Where did you get the idea that Romney inherited millions of dollars? Or did you just make it up?

"They said Babe Ruth giving up pitching was a dumb move too."

I continue to wonder why this occured. Does it not make sense to let such a man pitch, then play first base on days he is not pitching? First base rarely has to make a throw, so it wouldn't hurt his arm.....and if it did, then pull him from rotation until his arm heals.

Little Leaguers rotate through many positions, including pitcher, with no ill effect..why not the pros?

Those folks “quit” because they got new jobs. Palin just “quit.”

What makes you think that she does not have a new job? Last time I checked entrepreneurs like Rush, Sean, etc. do a lot better job and make more money!

Why be a hired slave when you can be a successful entrepreneur? I'd quit too if I knew I could be more effective; which she can be.

Well, you must be horrible, as an attorney, as your evidence and your argument are in contradiction to each other.

It is up to the INDIVIDUAL to decide if the job offered is better than the job currently held.

Obama
Biden
Sebelius
Emmanuel
Hillary Clinton

They ALL quit one job to take another.

They ALL Promised their original constituents that they would fill out their full term of office, at some time during their campaigns, did they not?

So, you say, in effect, that the duty is to those who voted for the office holder?

What the hell difference does it make, then, for the new job to be “better” or “worse” than the old job?

You have painted yourself into a corner, by your own hand.

Case dismissed!

Ping...finally someone who actually put some thought into what is going on. One of the best pieces yet out of the thousands of hysterical rants that are out there.

“...not one hampered by the GOP mouthpieces du jour.”

I dunno. I would get great pleasure if she showed up unannounced in DeMoines, Iowa next week and was spotted by the local news having a quiet dinner at Dennys with Alan Keyes, Ron Paul and some respected conservative leaders.

The media and the GOP leadership would have a complete and utter meltdown.

Her detractors have said that being the Governor of Alaska was not the same as a being a governor of the lower 48. Even having experience as a community organizer carried more weight than being a governor of Alaska or mayor of an Alaskan town. They have critiqued every move she has made and they have mocked her family.

Then Palin Shrugged.

Now they blame her for abandoning her post.

She can do no right by them.

This is the best article I have read so far on the subject.

Don't forget that it was literally costing her more per year to be governor than she received in pay. No way does that work economically, and no one should expect her to trudge onward against the slings and arrows, paying for the privilege of being governor. I know that if my job-related expenses ever exceeded my salary, I'd quit and look for something else. It would be irresponsible to do otherwise.

Getting under YOUR skin, and others like you.

That is Sarah’s job.

The winnowing fork separates the wheat (the individualists) from the chaff (the elitists).

“Even at the risk of being called “A Palin Cultist” I'll go down with this ship.”

Count me in too! Right now we don't even have life jackets to keep our heads above water. She at least has a ship, and I think she will have a great crew. I see no other options.

So what’s her new job?

Her new job will be either to sit around the house and make instant noodles while all the slime the Left has poured over her dries or go on the attack writing, broadcasting, doing the lecture tours, etc. Gee, which of the 2 do you think she'll do?

I don’t think they’ll stop trying to destroy her. But I do think the most unsustainable aspect (for her) will be moot. With no official status, she can’t be sued for ethics violations at the drop of a hat.

Her assistants can’t be sued for carrying Trig. She can’t be sued for wearing an Arctic Cat jacket, etc. She can freely travel within the U.S., without being sued. If someone covers her travel to a speech, and includes airfare for Todd or Willow, she can’t be sued.

As to going on the offensive, it pains me to agree with you on this. I hope she and her lawyers have some ‘malicious intent’ evidence, and pound these SOB’s into chutney.

And I’d vote for her right now if she said she was running.
