I made a simple counterpoint and then you accuse me of lying and putting words in your mouth. I’ll make it simple for you: what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. If you attack Romney for being a one term governor who didn’t face the voters for re-election, don’t turn around and say well it’s ok for Palin to do the same thing and then trot out excuses and explanations. It’s hipocrisy. And I would hardly say she left office with “high approval.” At one point in her term she was at 80-90% approval. By the summer of her resignation she was far from those numbers (in the fifties, tops). In fact the reason she left the office in Republican hands was that the lieutenant governor of the state was Republican and, by resigning, the office was de facto retained by the Republicans. In fact if Romney had done the same thing as Palin and resigned 2-1/2 years in the office of governor of Massachusetts would have been retained by the Republicans in the same way Alaska is now!!

Then you have no problem accepting it as a vid argument against Palin.

After two thorough posts from me clearly stating my point of view you lied and created a position for me, that was why I was posting to you in the first place, of course I had a problem with it, yet you decided to ignore me and put your own words and position in place of mine.

When Palin resigned she had been under continuous media and Democrat legal assault for publicity reasons, and her approval was still 56%, with a little campaigning and spending for advertising she would have won reelection by a huge margin. Romney desired reelection but his own polling convinced him to give it up, the seat became democrat, he had driven it into the ground.
