It's a double standard between male & female politicians.
Always has been and will be for some time to come.
Understand this, Obama can do NO WRONG, even if he does some thing wrong HE is NOT WRONG, it is us that are mistaken.

Palin quit her job, with no legitimate options pending anywhere in her future. BHO quit his senate spot because he was elected to the highest office in this land. to compare the two has shattered whatever atom of legitimacy you possessed.

most importantly, she has yet to offer a COHERENT explanation that is not one of her famous 'sidesteps' which are hideously weak.

there is no double standard. there are different standards for different circumstances. you have hideously failed at playing the gender card. try again.

Can you point out in this thread where I defended her? I said it twice in not so many words that I'm not a fan of hers. I was merely pointing out that you guys can't criticize her without a personal attack as evidenced by your "Arnold" comment. If you don't agree with her politics, fine, neither do I for the most part. But you accuse me of a vile offense towards you when you did the exact same thing to her. The gay thing was really just a joke but it seems was lost on you. Instead you took offense at someone commenting you might be gay because you think she is unattractive. She didn't get the nickname Caribou Barbie for nothing.

BTW, Obama is doing a good job of running the country into bankruptcy. He doesn't need any help from her.

Firstly, do you feel you are owed an explination ?

No legitimate options ? Senate and prez run are both legitimate.

There is a double standard but it runs along party lines mainly. Oly when they were hammering Palin for having children did ot run that way.

No, but I feel that alaskans are, and they are expressing that. they are feeling like pretty small photo op palin pawns right about now.

when you ask people to elect you their leader, then you quit, you owe them a real explanation.

Umm, actually no, not immediately. The RNC chairman doesn't consider her viable for 2012, in terms of prez run. Thus, she has absolutely no reason whatsoever to quit now. There are no immediate concerns. the possibility of opportunity at some indeterminate point down the road hardly qualifies.

not sure it matters what he thinks. Senate is pretty immediate.

she does have reason actually. she's in the lame duck end of that gig and there is little to be accomplished so why not let understudy get a little wheel time ? moreover al this frivilous lawsuit crap is costing Alaska and her money and preventing her form being governor.

I know its fashionable to denegrate Palin so its not surprizing the lefties are doing it. The funny part is that it will only serve to strehgthen her so keep up the good work !

Re: Sarah Palin's Gonna Resign from Her 1st Term As Governor...

The main reason Palin gets ratings is because she is a train wreck like
Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan or what have you. She always makes a fool of herself, doesn't know what she is saying, makes a mockery of the political process, and is a symbol of why America is failing.

Obviously stupid and incompetent, people don't fathom how someone this awful almost got into the White House because some RNC dolts propped her up.

Yeah, Palin the absolute moron, had to accuse Obama of was it being a terrorist or a terrorist sympathizer, I can't remember which?

The media wants a draw, they don't care how slimy, to sell ads, even if the elected one flushes America down the toilet.

Enough already with the taxes to support the lazy and non-white people.

Policy has to change in the US, political correctness only makes up more stupid.

Palin will change all this..

We will have a nation once again where hard work = opportunity to have a better life instead of the liberals throwing people table scraps.

Re: Sarah Palin's Gonna Resign from Her 1st Term As Governor...

I dont care why this waste of breath has left the public scene I just wish she would stay out of it. She was a joke, an totally ignorant self rightuous republican church nazi that wanted to ban books and introduce her theocratic dogma upon the world. She isnt qualified to be dogcrap picker up at the local dog pound much less in a public office of any kind. Caribou Barbie is definately a good tag for this bitch.

And a strong politician can also be a woman as the two are not incompatible. Hillary Clinton is a prime example of a good strong woman politician. Someone whom Sarah Palin is not worthy to lick her shoes.

If you think Palin would balance the budget, then why it that it was Bush who doubled the national debt?

It is needless wars Bush borrowed and spend all these trillions on.
Are you claiming Palin would end these wasteful and unnecessary wars?
Do you think she could really negotiate with Muslims, to end the hostility?
I don't think so.
I think she is a Crusader at heart.
