palin quitting as governor, why?

[Tex]

Palin is about to be indicted on corruption and embezzlement charges. This is according to multiple possibly reliable sources. As mayor of Wasilla she awarded a 13 million dollar contract to a company that built her a home in exchange. Todd Palin claims to have built the home with a few of his "buddies." There are no building permit records, since Palin did away with building permits as mayor. There are also rumors that federal investigators have been obtaining documents from the contractor for the last few months.

Would you mind pointing me to the indictment, SoonerCoug?

She wants her and her family out of the spotlight.

I think the Letterman saga showed her that political power and influence isn't worth dragging her family through the mud.

Too bad she wasn't a minority. It wouldn't have happened.

I find it funny how they mocked her for being able to see Russia from Alaska and that was the extent of her foreign relations. Obama had neither......no foreign relations or even seen Russia except on a map. But the media didn't care. He was their messiah.

Miss George Bush yet? At least he was a man of principles and a decision maker. Obama, again, has neither.

Having questionable principles and making decisions that fly in the face of all logic and reason do not a good President make. You seriously miss that guy?

[JohnnyLingo]

President Bush has suspect principles and made many very poor decisions. So, no.

cheers.

While they answer the question, these responses are merely generic criticisms that really don't say much.

??? The question was a simple "yes" or "no"; why should they say much?

As for me, I don't miss W, and I question the judgment of anyone who does. I miss Reagan and several other past presidents. But W? Fuhgeddaboudit.

President Bush contradicted himself. No different from President Obama.

With Palin recently hinting at a 2012 run I thought I'd bump this thread.

Here's something for everyone to react to:

Pretty amusing from various perspectives.

That's been funny to follow. Mainly I bumped the thread as an "I told you so" to AA and ilPad.

I love that Palin is gearing up to run for POTUS. As ineffective as Obama and crew have been, I have yet to hear from the Republican alternative that I would trust more. I'd prefer a better Republican candidate than a worse, but at least with Palin, if the party is unable to field a decent candidate, we can be all but certain she won't win. She is toxic waste... right, as if the country is going to elect the failed governor from Alaska to be POTUS. Republicans: Give us a great candidate and fix this mess, but if you can't do that, give us Palin. PLEASE!

I find it fascinating. I do not like Palin at all but it does seem really interesting that anyone's making a big deal of her writing reminder notes on her hand. That the story actually has legs is even more fascinating. I think her response - writing "Hi Mom" on her hand and letting photogs capture it - was pretty good.

No. Now go clean your room

If Palin gets elected, I'm moving to Brazil.

Quit campaigning for her. She hasn't even announced.
