Palin is out of office so why would anyone vote for a quitter if she ever decides to run for office again?

Update:

kerfitz: Obama stood up to way more than Palin was ever exposed to. It is Palin that keeps putting herself into the media. She could just fade away but she won't. She likes the attention oh you betcha.

Update 2:

kerfitz: ya I believe that. And I know that Obama was looked at even more than Palin. Obama was reviewed for well over a year prior to his election. Palin what all of 3 or 4 months? You can cite that the media is in Obama's hands but that is BS. Tell me Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, and all the folks at Fox News are like that. Sorry media is more than ABC, CBS or NBC. Besides know who owns ABC, CBS or NBC?

    Because her "base" has an extremely tenuous grip on reality. Thank God there aren't enough of them to get the whack job elected. And no matter how many asinine ways she tries to spin her reasons for quitting, it boils down to the simple fact that she bailed because of (more) pending ethic violation charges, and the undeniable fact that she can't take the heat. Yeah- she'd make just a hell of a President- she would make the 8 years of Bush stupidity look like a walk in the park.

    Good question. I wouldn't If that was the reason she quit, she's a fool. Can you imagine the campaign ads?

    "It's 3am, and there's trouble in the world..."

    Cut to an empty bed, and a ringing phone....slow fade to a woman standing in an Alaska Creek Fishing....

    As we hear in a female voice, "It's so QUIET out here! No phones, and no one bothers you! I'm glad I quit and let the Vice-whatsis guy take over! You betcha!"

    If I agreed with the solutions she proposes for the country I would vote for her anyway (but I don't agree enough). I think the reasons she gave for quitting were valid although one never knows all the reasons.

    People quit jobs all the time and no one makes a big deal out of it.

    If you don't like her politics you won't vote for her anyway. If you do like her politics you would be unwise to vote for someone whose politics you dislike instead of someone whose politics you do like just because he or she resigned from a job, especially a job where his/her replacement is already known and ready to take over.

    LOL.. we won't, but keeping her in the spotlight only makes it easier for our actual next candidate to operate without the press trying to subvert him unfairly. Do you honestly think that Obama could have stood up to that amount of scrutiny from the press?

    You honestly think that? ROFL... the media loves Obama, they didn't bother to look into his relationship with Ayers... "Obama said it was nothing, so it must be nothing" They didn't bother to investigate his community activism, and couldn't be bothered to send more than a handful of reporters to look into his life.. Palin by comparison had 10000 reporters looking into hers. Hell the media wouldn't even bother looking into ACORN even though it was PROVEN they were doing things wrong and Obama has deep ties with them. You just lowered my opinion of you for making that statement.

    I guess that your opinion finishes Palin off thanks for the information and concern we as conservatives will take in under advisement.

    I think she just got tired of politics. I wouldn't be surprised if she gets a talk show.

  • 1 decade ago

    I wouldn't have voted for her before she quit.

    She's too whiny.

    Hopefully no one will vote for that bimbo, even Fox News made fun of her as conservative as they are

    When you understand the reasons why she quit, rather than the left-wing spin, its completely understandable.

    Point is.. she is out of office... WHY WOULD YOU MAKE YOURSELF LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT BY CARING ?
