Obama left the senate to serve his country in another office. Palin left to serve her wallet. And the country, as a whole, understands the difference.


Sarah dearest left her post as Governor of Alaska because she had a chance to make those big bucks doing speaking engagements and appearing on FOX NEWS.

Obama left the Senate for the power of being President.

I can't find fault with either of them for those choices.

I do not find fault with Palin for making money, but her decision means we can't trust her to run for office and stick with it. Taking political office is a commitment, and politicians call it "public service". I do see a difference in going on to a different job of public service and quitting to serve yourself.

I certainly can.

She is running around the country talking about restoring honor.

What was honorable about her quitting on the people of Alaska who elected her?

How about Eisenhower? Or Nixon? Or Reagan? I think Clinton was already out of office when he ran.

Jesus, RML, I thought I was kidding about something being very wrong with you.


Well Richie, there are exceptions to every rule.

And not to split hairs, but Nixon was a sitting Vice-President when he ran against Kennedy, Reagan was Governor of California when he ran for the Republican nomination in 1968, and Clinton was Governor of Arkansas when he was elected President.

But let's move on to more recent history, the 2008 Presidential election.

The top four competitors for the Republican nomination were Senator John McCain, Mike Huckabee, who began his campaign as Governor of Arkansas, Mitt Romney, who initiated his campaign while Governor of Massachusetts, and Congressman Ron Paul.

On the Democratic side we have Senator Barack Obama, Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Joe Biden, Senator Chris Dodd, Congressman Dennis Kucinich, and Governor Bill Richardson.

Think this through. Do you really want to get this into a discussion of the political and executive experience of Presidential contenders and wanna-be's? You sure as hell didn't want to talk about that when President Obama was still candidate Barry!

Sure, let's talk about that much-vaunted "executive experience".

If experience is so important then why are the teabaggers promoting so many candidates with absolutely no experience at anything?

Can you say Christine O'Donnell?

Edited to add that I talked all the time about how ridiculous your "executive experience" arguments were.

And considering you told me that Palin's "executive experience" would win McCain the presidency I find it hard to believe you're not completely embarrassed to even bring up that subject.

Just as ready as I've always been.

But your bland dismissals do not constitute a discussion.

That's twice now, just in this thread, that you have tucked your tail between your legs and run off without addressing the points raised.

And you believe your snarkings are worth my time, because...?

Hell, RML, you are playground equipment, and you don't post in good faith. Get over yourself.

Besides, I think you are already experiencing consequences of your blood pressure and high fat diet.

As far as I can remember, she is the only one. Now I can remember at the time, wishing that Granholm would follow her lead and quit, but she didn't

Its the term 'executive" that has him confused. Its the modifiers, Libs can't seem to process them. It's sad really.


Why would executive experience be relevant to sitting on a comitee?

Speaking of O'Donnell, check out the chicken action around :31 of this YouTube clip...it's a Taiwanese view on the Tea Party, Palin, and O'Donnell.
