No, it was because she was out having dinner and giving speechs and schmoosing with potential campaign donors.

Alaska is glad she's gone! The people on the island where I lived had a week's long celebration!! Lots of jocularity, fire works, fresh salmon and crab.

She did not do her duty to the state. She quit. Obviously, she can't do more than one thing at a time. She can't handle 'distractions'; she does not belong in any position of authority.

Aren't you talking about somebody else, as far as bad-mouthing America? That's all he's been doing. I think the name fits for him as well.
I simply adore how you skip those inconvenient posts....

It's called tap dancing

She doesn't respond to direct questions or statements.

I said that she shouldn't have presented a problem unless she also has a solution. Her answer was "Says the supporter of the master in chief of "blaming" others"

So she doesn't admit or deny that Palin basically complained about something without offering suggestions for improvement; she deflects on to something else hoping that I'll forget about it.

But, she will be! Had she stayed on as Governor, her light may have faded by the end of her term as her ineptness/lack of education/etc were spotlighted and she could have lost out on millions of dollars. Ergo, quit, hire a speech writer and a handler and go on the speaking circuit. Go Sarah!!!

Moderator cut: rude I said (and I quote) She spoke on economic issues and took issue with the current administration over domestic spending
The part of her speech that dealt with government regulation constitutes “economic issues” and is separate from the part of my comment that follows the word “and”

“and” indicates something additional to, yet separate from what comes before the word.

In this case “economic issues” is separate from “taking issue with the current administration”

I am not flatly wrong. I am perfectly correct.Moderator cut: not necessary

Again, wrong. The ethics complaints against her preceded her being chosen as the VP candidate. As for your contention that none of them were found to be valid, I give you this. . .

Those sorry America hating moron singer’s went over seas and broke the cardinal rule. You do not go overseas and bash American foreign policy. They deserved everything they got and more.

If Sarah Palin did that we would have something to discuss concerning her “badmouthing America”. If you can find where she did that I would be happy to read it.

As for the ethics complaints, there were a few. Mostly from members of the Republican party and mostly from those who had an ax to grind because of her exposing other republicans for gross malfeasance.

The actual case you site, the report came from a partisan Alaska Legislative committee that has no power to bring charges. The Alaska personnel board determined she broke on law. Once again, you play fast and lose with the facts. Palin has NEVER been found guilty of any of the myriad allegations against her.

No basis in fact ????...Yes, Pawlenty wants to run for President, and is,...AND, at the VERY SAME TIME he is governor of Minnesota...TWO things at once!

Unlike your Love Object, Sarah, who took the easy, cowardly way out....and CAN'T...according to YOU, do two things at once...




"""Dumb posts that have no basis in fact I skip."""

If all did that no one would answer your posts!

No, you skip the "awkward " ones....
