Why Sarah Palin must go

Sarah Palin is a liar.
She has lied about things since she was nominated.
She may not know how to tell the truth.
One example is her statement that she was completely cleared of the abuse of power charges against her when they said, yes, she could fire the individual in question but had violated state ethics rules. Another example is the Bridge To NoWhere because she kept the money for the bridge in Alaska and didn't save the federal government anything, which isn't "reform." A third example is the Pipeline, which will take seven years to construct if it ever is built, and the botched way she handled the spending of lots of money in buying up, in advance of getting a contract, the rights-of-way for said Pipeline.
She likes to stir up crowds with incendiary comments without worrying if they are true. This is the path to demagoguery. It is very dangerous, like a kid playing with fire, unaware of the consequences, especially when our country is stressed in terms of people losing homes and jobs and savings, and can erupt in violence. We need to be civil to one another, not incendiary.
She epitomizes a "rabble rouser."
There is something (this is opinion) almost pathological about her penchant for doing these things. Sort of like Senator McCarthy was really pathological.
Someone how we must send her a strong message that such behavior is not acceptable here in the U.S.
