Listening to good morning America, they had an interview with Sarah Palin on why she quit.

Reason manly being the whole ethics violation to which cost her and the state too much. To which also answer the whole "lame duck" answer she originally given as she would be spending way to much time fighting the complaints and costing the state way to much money.

Also would not close the door on wither she might run for President.

One thing to note she made the statement that if she dies politically she does.

Interesting.

On what? He thinks it something that the Whitehorse took credit right after the crisis, while Goldberg thinks nothing of it. difference yes, they share there views on the subject.

You really must remember Hannity is an commentator.
[quote=SSJup81;742536]I have a problem with a person who has to go to so many schools for a Bachelor's degree. It's a red flag, imo. To me, it shows that she has a difficult time finishing what she starts or is quick to quit something if things get tough. Could you imagine an employer looking over the resume, and seeing all those unfinished schools listed? That looks just as bad as having gaps in employment on a resume.

You seem to be the only one making an deal out of it. I really don't think an employer really cares when you have the DEGREE.

Do you get why you would go to an college? What's more important the DEGREE. you got it you completely that level of education REGARDLESS of how many colleges you go to. I will repeat myself YOU CAN TRANSFER CREDITS.

My point is it is so pointless to attack someone so far back in there lives.

I can see taking on a VP position with older kids, but I have a problem when it comes to doing so with a baby.Well, she's not at home. She's in the spotlight. She was running for VP, even though she has a baby at home...a special needs child. IMO, she should be spending the majority of her time, just as her husband, with that child until he gets older. Being governor probably wouldn't take up as much of her time, but being VP most definitely would. I didn't say she needed to quit, I'm saying she shouldn't be going after a position where she'll have to devote a lot of her time to it. I say the same for her husband, hence why I said any "parent". Nowhere did I say that she, specifically, should have to do this.

Stop it. Really who are to put yourself above her when it really is such an personal thing to balance raising HER children to her own career. What your saying her she has no right to pursue her own life until she raises that kid. What's wrong with that, I'll tell you; she could very well being doing an good motherly job and by that you have NO right to tell someone that they cannot do something because you think they don't "spend" enough time with THERE children.

Let me ask you, are you accusing her of child neglect, because that is what this is starting to read like?

There is an reason why I put that wrote this, think about it.

Would you being willing to say every women who has an job needs to quit in order to bound with the child?

Some employers would probably be weary because of that and might not even grant her an interview; some may give her an interview, and I guarantee you that she probably would be questioned about something like that and then she explains why.

Contradiction. Way say there is no problem going to different schools then, then say it's an red flag, shows inconstancy, etc?

Even multiple holders had to eventually finish up someplace to get them, and they usually stick with a university, not multiple. I see if she'd gone to maybe a tech school or a vocational school and also college, but she went to multiple colleges, didn't finish them, to get a Bachelor's. I would love to know why she did that. Why couldn't she stay put with one college instead of attending multiple ones.Hello...it still is coming across as a negative view of her. "She can't finish what she starts." She quit multiple colleges. Why? Was it too tough for her? Was there a mitigating circumstance that affected her going? What about the dates? Were they all short-term. Was it a month here or there? That would look bad on a resume and her quitting as governor doesn't help things much.

Look colleges are not about the going and "finish" the schooling there. They put you toward the Degree. There not high schools. You are also applying an stereotypical view on college going people to someone who didn't take the same route.

I repeat you can transfer credits, meaning it doesn't matter what college you go, as LONG as you GET the DEGREE.

you are getting to far into her personal life.

[quote=SaintKat;742531]Nice try with the backhand passive-aggressive insult. You'll have to do better next time though.

Really? It was your writing. So I pointed out the contrast in that post where you wanted to "call" me out on "attacking" others. Then you go to call Sarah an feral and backward cougar. Is that not in black-white contrast?

Hence the reason why I didn't use the word because I said the STATEMENT was, not you.

Does he have an thing for Palin? Other then that NONE of the McCain campaign guys will go on record with the smear attacks.

What's the point of this? Are we not discussing the effects of her quitting her office?

Mayor Palin: A Rough Record - TIME

Couldn't decide wither he hated her for being religious.

Also no books where banned (she didn't go after books), so I don't see the point here.

Palin's pathos | Steve Chapman

Interesting, but here's the thing. Those attacks put her in debt, put the state under about around half an million. They went after her children. So there is truth in her questioning the attacks on her and her family.

Already addressed the Katie interview.

So she is quitting now to run for president? That would be fine if she announced that like McCain, Obama, Biden, and Obama did when they stepped away from their duties.

But Palin didn't announce that.

Would you have her announce three years before the next election?
