I think she was a mistake for McCain, personally. I never really cared for her since that whole "hockey mom with lipstick" came out, I never liked the vibe she gave off, and ever since I found out about the potential corruption with that man that was married to her relative who was also somehow related to the law...
I just don't like her. I may not have to "degrade" someone, but you didn't need to comment on it, as there could be much more, like I hear about Obama, (I.E; "Someone needs to shoot him")
I just want her out of politics.

You do know that verse that you used is to say keep people from saying (generally) things like you did in your last post. Also it's not about pleasing any "deity" as you would have it, but being RESPECTFUL of others.
Do you know the story behind that "man"?
Same applies to you, you didn't need to make such an comment. Why would you even bring up such an despicable and treasonous act? that was another thing uncalled for.
who are you to judge who is worthy to be in politics?

No, not everyone is a liar. "Everyone does it," is the worst excuse in the book.
“And so as I thought about this announcement that I wouldn't run for re-election and what it means for Alaska, I thought about how much fun some governors have as lame ducks... travel around the state, to the Lower 48 (maybe), overseas on international trade—as so many politicians do. And then I thought—that's what's wrong—many just accept that lame duck status, hit the road, draw the paycheck, and "milk it." I'm not putting Alaska through that—I promised efficiencies and effectiveness! ? That's not how I am wired. I am not wired to operate under the same old "politics as usual." I promised that four years ago—and I meant it.
It's not what is best for Alaska.
I am determined to take the right path for Alaska even though it is unconventional and not so comfortable.”
There's the whole quote. If you can interpret what she is saying, you deserve a gold star. If "politics as usual" means "fulfilling the promise you made to the people who elected you" then she certainly is not "politics as usual". However, if she is quitting for a personal gain she can't get as the governor of Alaska (like travelling the lower 48 and promoting a book) then she did the greatest disservice to the people of Alaska by running in the first place. Keep in mind, she is NOT a lame duck. She is CHOOSING not to run again. Why? Not only is she choosing not to run again, she is quitting halfway through her term. WHY?
What kind of gun was held to her head when she was forced into public office. How long was the knife that was held to her throat by John McCain when he forced her to be his running mate?
If "media and political attacks" are the problem, don't run for office. Obama is attacked for more hours than there are in a day by the right-wing talk show hosts, and I don't see him hanging up his hat.
I am not sure what you mean by the last sentence, but innocent people do not resign. Innocent politicians do not quit. Even if she had said she wants to spend more time with her growing family, that would have made more sense to me than the speech she gave today.

you miss the point of the paragraph. I'm certain she didn't tell the whole truth and maybe has other goals for why she is leaving office.
MMM, everyone has told an lie, there is not getting around that. it is pointless to call someone else an lair without pointing out the the one calling them such an thing is one also. It's not about everyone "doing" it, everyone DOES lie. My point is, if your going to call her an lair call yourself one, call me one, call Obama, one, and the list goes on. I'll refer you to that passage that was used by Kayci.
My point about posting those quotes was to show she gave some reason why.
I would interpret that she wants an governor for Alaska that would actually work for Alaska. Take what you want form that. But lately she has been
not so much focused on Alaska. Running as Vice President, interviews, the dogmatic attacks on her, the current (one of the few people who stand out in the Split Republican party) focus on here as an leader of Republicans. Now my personal opinion on the matter is she wants to be able to breath again and live in peace and have the same for her family. Hence I think she is probably done with politics.
The event is such puzzling, we really just have to wait and see what happens.
Are you Serious?
Does having your children attacked, count as wrong to you? What about mass-media take on it? I mean when you have an major network EDIT an interview to make an into an fool you have an problem.
Obama has rush, and Hannity arguable they go after him on policy. UNLIKE what has happen with Sara. People where out to destroy Sarah, and you should be able to tell the difference between criticism on Obama, George Bush (arguably they could be twins if you want to look at the attacks on both), and the atrocious attacks on Sarah, EVEN from her own party! No one expected here to get this kind of attention. The attacks where never about policy but her in General and that is the difference between Obama and Sarah.
What are you trying to say here? Why call her innocent unless you want to make an point? that said people step down from positions all the time for personal reasons. We simply at this point do not know what to make of this.
All politicians always give cryptic answers as to what there going to do.
