bonnie Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 * N.H. Legislator Resigns over Palin Remark A New Hampshire Democrat who joked about Sarah Palin's death has resigned from the state's House of Representatives and ended his campaign for reelection, he announced today in a public letter to the House Speaker, apologizing for bringing "this House into disrepute." Rep. Timothy Horrigan had speculated yesterday on Facebook that a slain Palin would become a martyr. "I don't wish Sarah Palin dead ... but not merely for compassionate reasons. I also want her to live because a living Sarah Palin is less dangerous than a dead one."a dead Palin is more dangerous than a live one," he wrote. (Horrigan is not to be confused with the other New Hampshire Democratic activist who was rebuked yesterday for expressing the wish that Palin and Levi Johnston had been on the downed airplane carrying Ted Stevens.) Horrigan wrote before resigning that he "would like to offer a specific apology for making comments about Sarah Palin which could be — and were — misconstrued. She is, as far as I know, not a bad person at all — and certainly she deserves to live a long and happy life." In his letter to Speak Terie Norelli he wrote, "I apologize for thoughtless remarks I made which have brought this House into disrepute." An eccentric liberal Democrat from the Durham area, Horrigan's causes had included repealing New Hampshire's 200-year-old ban on adultery. Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.

Moderators John317 Posted August 13, 2010 Moderators Posted August 13, 2010 But why? I like her. I don't mean I would necessarily vote for her to be President. That would depend on who and what the choices are. One of my best friends told me immediately after watching her on TV after McCain selected her as the VP candidate that he "hated her." He thought she was fake. I don't. On the contrary, I think she's a very real person. She says what's on her mind, and a lot of Americans find that refreshing. Sure, she sometimes says things that some people think are stupid, but then she also says a lot of things that many Americans identify with. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

She is pretty,street smarts,had a "defective child" instead of aborting him among some of the reasons. If Obama was short,fat,bald with buck teeth,would he be our president? If Michelle Obama looked like Rosanne Barr would there be so much fawning? I don't think so Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.

Moderators John317 Posted August 13, 2010 Moderators Posted August 13, 2010 Most historians agree that if he was running for President today, with TV, Lincoln wouldn't have a chance. Once when a client called him the best lawyer, Lincoln said that he realized he was the "ugliest lawyer east of the Mississippi." Not sure who he had in mind west of the Mississippi.

I think this is the first time I have ever seen a democrat step down because he knew he should. Or for any reason at all, come to think of it. Quote
Members phkrause Posted August 13, 2010 Members Posted August 13, 2010 There is a lot of Palin hatred out there. Seems a lot of liberals hate her terribly. Seems like a lot of conservative's don't either. I know many, and especially women that don't like her at all and wouldn't vote for her, but if Hilary ran they would have no problem voting for her. I personally like Palin. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
