AK Dems On Palin's "Lack Of Commitment"

Patti Higgins, chairwoman of the AK Dem Party, said Gov. Sarah Palin's (R) decision to step down reflects her "lack of commitment" to the job.

"Alaskans are dismayed yet not surprised that Governor Palin is abandoning her obligations to our great state. Sarah Palin's decision to step down as governor is a shock to Alaskans, coming at a time when leadership is needed secure a gas pipeline and address rising unemployment. Palin's lack of commitment to her sworn obligation to serve her term to the best of her ability is a betrayal to all Alaskans."

Another nail in the GOP coffin if Palin is the 2012 nominee. There is a related post at http://iamsoannoyed.com/?p=2048

Think that Palin is merely taking a TIME OUT!! She has wasted a vast amount of time responding to "liberal lillies" -- not to mention the cost of frivolous allegations and suits.

Truth be known, too many women (and some liberal commentators) of the far left persuasion are intimidated by the appearance and abilities of Palin. She drew the crowds for McCain (NOT McCAIN!). She took them by surprise, and later by storm!

Wherever she goes, she draws a crowd. Think that the far left fears her, and she found that she was not going to be able to accomplish her job as she would like in Alaska while the left -- and comedians like Dave Letterman -- continued their distractions. Palin had the ability to make sense of major issues where joe six pack would get it. This drove the liberals into frenzies – especially when she did it with her hands full as a mom!! The real big deal was her stance on human life (anti abortion).

The current reactions from the pseudo intellectuals is evidence of her holding their attention. Disdain? Yes, but predicated on fear of Palin’s magnetic abilities.

I am not a Palin fan, but it sure has been interesting to see how she -- single handedly -- worked the left's underwear into a knot, and did not let it go!! Actually, it was humorous!!!

PS: For those who want to criticize Palin for not completing her term as governor, please respond to this question: How many terms did the current occupant of the White House complete in elective office prior to moving to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue??
