I didn't ask you how long you'd worked in radio. I asked how many campaigns you've worked on. I asked that because you presumed to tell me that I'm "no conservative." First election I voted in was for Reagan in 1984. In 1986, I refused to vote for my own grandfather in a county election because he ran as a Democrat.

I've worked for three GOP members of Congress, and a GOP U.S. senator. I've served as a legislative assistant, a speech writer, a press secretary and a deputy campaign manager, the last in your home state. All for Republicans.

Taking all that into account, are you going to keep up your lame line that I'm not a conservative? In fact, why don't you tell me what all you've done to advance the conservative cause, since you deign to pass judgment on my conservative credentials.

Now, answer a simple yes/no question: Did she resign before her term was up as governor of Alaska?

You are a truly dim bulb.

I am with you, Gurn. I believe, and yes, I even “hope” we can do better than Palin.

Yes. She resigned in order to move from a local stage to a national stage.

It happens everyday in radio and journalist.

I don’t care for the Republican party all that much. I don’t send them any of my money. I would rather not do anything for them.

Gurn - yes, she resigned. You can say that she quit. Whatever tickles your ribs.

Clearly, you neither understand nor care about the circumstances behind her decision, however. If you did, you wouldn't bring up this discredited talking point. And it is a desperate meme fabricated by the Left because they're pissed that Sarah didn't play by their rules. Repeating it doesn't make it fact.

It's not like she signed a 5 year deal with a sports franchise and then quit because she didn't like the terms. As a public official, there's no rule stating that one must finish the job regardless if their name and state are being dragged through the mud. (and since when did resigning from office become a bad thing anyway?) Sarah had a capable successor who is finishing out her term - again, how is that "bailing" out on the people?

Look, in a nutshell, Sarah was targeted, she saw it and sidestepped her enemies, and she answered a higher calling. Even Stevie Wonder can see this. If she would have stayed in office and drowned under the crushing ethics violations and other smears, would you have still supported her? No, you wouldn't. You'd scream along with the left that she's too "scandal plagued" to run for President and dismiss her out of hand.
