The reason I ask this – is that if I had that high of an office – I would never quit regardless of anything..
what an honor to be a Governor of a State – I don’t care if I was $200,000 in debt – I would serve the term regardless. A person could always declare bankruptcy later or maybe other options – but to be a Governor of a State.
God Damn – what an honor.
If there is something unfair about legal fees and paid by whom – you are the fuking Gov – petition the people if they like you, etc.
Try to change the fuking law in your state since your are the Gov of the State for Christs sake instead of just quitting.
ever head of fighting instead of tuck tail and running.
Winners never quit, quitters never win.
When it got down to -50 degrees,Id’ haul ass for florida.
Oh man! Are you ever going to move on? I guess it is easier to talk about something that happened three yrs ago that was not that big a deal than it is to talk about how your Obama has destroyed the country
But I will say it was more significant when she quit the governorship than it was when Obama quit his community organizer job. Lol. I’m sure they were able to replace him with a college drop out who needed a summer job. Lmao
I would have stayed in office, and had my husband face whatever charges were brought against him if they were incorrect.
If I was found guilty of using my office to conduct a personal vendetta against an in-law, or having been found to have been firing city employees and replacing them with neighbours and members of my Church who have no training or experience in the jobs they were given…..if I were told that charges would be laid, only if I still held office…well then….I just might quit……
….if you ever get bored…..go to the Skeleton Closet and search Palin……
But everyone has different priorities, and life bring’s change.
I am not defending anyone’s choice.
But why be so rude?
I can see this is directed at Sarah Palin for quitting her position, but look at some of the others who have quit, good paying honorable jobs they were elected to do.
Hillary Clinton, to take an appointed job for Obama, Obama himself to run for president, and how about people like those that switch parties thinking that may be the only way to stay in office ?
Over half of Obama’s staff quit other jobs to get these cushy good paying federal jobs.
This is not restricted to any one party, but common among politicians.
What a dum*ss question.
1. you first need to have a job to quit one.( your a liberal so it safe to you don’t work for a living)
2. your bring up very old news so you need a life anyway.
3. why ask a question, and not just make a statement.
It is really easy to sit here and make claims, when you go and do it get back to me, okay.
maybe if I had a debilitating condition that kept me from doing my job right. Not over debt.
I think a terminal illness or some kind of trauma that could prevent you from serving the office to the best of your abilities. I also think family emergencies are also warranted if it is going to take a backseat to your ability to serve. Bottom line though is that changing governments and administrations are expensive acts and as a candidate you should be aware of what this does to a state and the people who spent and volunteered for you…. and more importantly you should not take your promises lightly to the voters of your election. Resigning is essentially a selfish act and anyone who does so should be judged for it. People who serve should look at their offices as a sacrifice to their communities meaning they should put service over money, fame and even family.
I do NOT think personal ambition is a good reason to re-enter the private sector without serving the commitment of the days you were elected (and you were aware of). I am okay with a governor or a senator running for higher office while serving their office but just quitting to avoid investigations and to make money says something about the ethics and the character of a official who does that. I would never entrust a office to someone like that again.
