Doug-

Let's just go over one of her rationales for quitting (paraphrasing): that she doesn't won't to be a lame duck squandering the people's money like all the other lame ducks do.

I'm sorry but I know that some lame ducks believe in finishing the job they were elected to do without taking advantage of the position they were elected to. She implies that all lame ducks would take foreign trips, wine and dine their friends, and do little else. Maybe that's what she would actually do and, if so, she's doing the voters a public service by quitting.

I don't have a thing to say about her family, her religion or her physical characteristics. It's her warped point of view that I am critical of, her thinking process, and some of her history.

As a principled person, I would think that you would agree with my negative assessment of Palin, and even be able to expand upon it.
