Another AIP Official Says Palin Was at 1994 Convention*

1994, that was so long ago. Who cares? Hillary was a Republican some time ago, wasn’t she?

AIP – Trinity. Who knows.

Country 1st still???? I forecast this candidate would have to withdraw soon. I can’t see FNC/RNC spinning this one… like what they are doing with the other of Palin’s daily “discoveries”!

The end of this mistake is near

Desire to secede doesn’t sound too patriotic to me.

The fact that she has a pregnant teen-aged daughter is NOT news, it is salacious gossip. But this IS news…
-the fact that she’s being investigated by the State of Alaska on charges of abuse of power, involving SEVERAL instances where according the special prosecutor in which she may have been complicit, which are substantially more serious that she had first led the McCain camp to believe IS news.(abuse of power/dishonesty)
- the fact that Gov. Palin has taken $27 million in earmarks IS news; (pandering/corruption)
-the fact that Gov. Palin was the DIRECTOR of indicted Sen. Ted Stevens’ 527 and raised millions for him, IS news; (corrupt)
-the fact that Gov. Palin ran up a $20 million debt when she was mayor of a small town IS news.(misuse of authority)
- The fact that Gov. Palin was a member of the Buchanan Brigade IS news. (Anti-Semitic conservative, Nazi sympathizer)
- the fact that Gov. Palin is a member of Alaskans for Independence Party IS news;(sedition/treason)
-the fact that Gov. Palin is a NeoPentacostal Dominionist which is a church that preaches purging the Earth of all non-Christians by a specially anointed army of God (starting with the Jews), IS news; (religious fanaticism)
-The fact that as a teen Gov. Palin played a leading role as a member of said army (Joel’s Army or the Army of the Third Wave-which most Christian theologians consider heretical in nature) IS news….
PS: All of these stories have been broken by other major media outlets over the week end… so if any of this IS news to you, my I suggest a Google search.

What Convention?

Psa 26:4 I did not sit with liars, and I will not be found among hypocrites.
These so called evangelicals who are really political cronies hiding behind the cloth love the Republican Party more than they love God. They don’t have any family values. But we all know if that were Michelle Obama’s or Hillary Clinton’s pregnant teenage daughter Tony Perkins and others would be pointing a finger at them and saying what a poor example they are setting. They would be raking these mothers across the hotest of coals.
As a born again, bible-toting Christian, I’m offended by these hypocrites

Alaska First or Country First, tough call for Barracuda Girl.

Rich,
first as Americans we need weeks and weeks of vetting…….remember?

Tony, Hillary has never been of a party which asks for cessession, so Paulin has to answer to real questions. She has never denied who she was and who she is, a strong woman who cares for women’s issues, Senator of the big Apple. She is very different from Paulin, Miss Alaska runner-up, major of a small own and governor of the smallest state in the US. McSame has made a serious mistake, he has to admitted it and lose the elections. God save America from McPauline. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA/BIDEN08.

If she can just hang on for two more days!

just waitin for the photos…I have a feeling Sarah is going to be adding to her album over the next weeks… photos of this and photos of that…
too bad we can’t find any photos of her talking about terrorism and trade agreements…and russia…or her economic beleifs with regard to social security and her resoning…
or her knowledge of the constitution…and her reasoning and logic and awareness of separation of powers…
and why she doesn’t really believe the science behind global warming and what her science is in teaching creationism with evolution in the school science classes…
and what she knows of where it is stated that we have a sparation of church and state
and what the comprehension of that is
of and why Georgia seceded from Russia?
and what has happened over the last 2 years to lead up to the invasion
and who is in Nato and how she they be involved and how we are going to get them to do that
and how her workling with the oil companies for 20 months (as her husband was working FOR them) makes her an expert on energy in general?
where are the interviews…
are they waiting to make sure she atleast gets a b in their “30 second sound bites on how to save the world class” before she is allowed to answer any questions outside …the ones she asks …
like “what does the VP do during the day?”
or the gigles she lets out as an Alaska DJ crassly trashes another woman’s mothering abilities calling the woman a bit(h and crudely calling her fat…all the while Palin giggles and laugh and laughs and giggles…never getting out a “that’s not cool” even.
this woman as VP is the scariest thing I have seen in a long time.

hilly billy,
the point here is not Bristol.
she is just a poor girl who we should not judge.
The point is Palin who is VP candidate.
With all her value for family and children, she showed that her desire for power is stronger than her care for 4 month down syndrome baby and vulnerable pregnant daughter.

Most of the Republicans that are making all those negative comments about Palin are people that she dissed by going against them, including Lyda Green, Halcro, etc. They are just trying to get back at her because she didn’t do what they wanted her to do and instead went against big oil companies and politics as usual.

Concerning the person who asked: ‘Isn’t the patrotism the most important thing as President?’
It’s a very important thing and that’s why a VP choice who wants to secede from the USA is unacceptable. She has to go.

Talk with reporters, make the circuit? Are you kidding? We are supposed to just fall in love with her as McCain did. She is campaigning with McCain isn’t that enough? She is a woman for crying out loud, she is supposed to get a pass. Besides John was a POW

A worse choice for VP than Stockdale. And we all know what he did for ol’ Ross.

This woman should be sent packing back to Alaska and stay there Take Mc Cain with you …This is something else…….May God help you and us esp if you are elected President.These are you choices we are in BIG TROUBLE

What in the heck she will bring. I am still trying to figure it out. McCain is 72, if he dies this women can very well be the next president of the United States. She was a Mayor of a town of 6,000 people. She is barely going on the 2nd year as a governor. She is currently being investigated for the firing of he ex-brother in law a State trooper. She was a member of an independent group, who mission is to fight for the independence of Alaska. This is sad for our Party. We dont need this mess now.

Like Batman you make enemies when you clean up corruption. Palin made a lot of enemies in Alaska by cleaning up the crooked politicians.

Jayhawk
she’s a bad candidate
don’t get mad at the media even if they are over the top energized by all the drama this candidate brings…
McCain made a shallow choice…an inept one actually…
and you can not blame the media trying to sort through all the bad cr@p about this candidate.
Maybe Mccain should have actually taken the time to get to know who he was picking and what he was deciding before he did it…
kind of like his foreign policy.
ugh
or his economic policy (you know written, pushed and chosen by his team of “experts”)

LOL so now Palin is Batman.
Are you saying she’s a schizophrenic vigilante?
I think her views are nutty but I wouldn’t go that far.

“This is like a cat covering up crap in its litter box,” she says.”
I think this just about sums up not only the McCain campaign but Republican philosophy in general.

geevill -She was on the Ted Stevems campaign – FACT….she was part of the Steven’s 527 Group – FACT
She took millions is pork for her tiny village in Alaska
She is the farthest thing from a reformer and it is all coming out now

geevil
go listen to her jovial little giggles and laughs as that DJ in alaska trashes that woman that Palin had issues with in the governemtn…
as he calls her a b!t(h, says that the woman is a BAD MOTHER (ugh can we say the word of the day is hypocrisy) and then the jerk proceeds to trash the woman’s weight…
Palin doesn’t have the character to even utter a “hey that’s not so cool”
Instead she snickers and giigles like a Jr High click queen from “heathers” or “mean girls”
get this woman out of St. paul and away from the invitation to even come close to the White House.
but before you do that answer her question as to “what the vice president does all day?”

“That probably ranks right up there with the Rezko land scam”
What scam?
Obama paid 1/6 of the market price for 1/6 of the land from Rezko’s wife. The Obamas bought their home from a different party.

From what I’m learning of Palin, she will do what is politically necessary to win, just like McCain is doing now.
Including going against her own pro-choice mother-in-law Faye Palin when Faye ran for mayor of Wasilla in 2002.
Including getting $26 million in earmarks for Wasilla during her last four years as mayor.

Jayhawk
you seem to like Palin…after you go listen to that tape of her and the DJ
why don’t you tell us what her thoughts on terrorism are (“oh it’s bad”)
on Presidential signing statements
her ideas on the russia georgia conflict
trade agreements…
how and why she thinks we should take care of social security…and the details of why
and her reasons behind abstinence only being taught inschools
and her understanding of NAFTA…
and what she thinks of our need to get away from oil?
because this list goes on…of things she has never answered and there is no information or record that she KNOW ANY OF THEM!
yet you all jumpin up and down for her…
Obama Biden, Clinton McCain Lieberman, Hutchinson, etc etc etc
they know these issues that is why they get elected
Palin …nothing outside 20 months as governor of a small economically undiversified state… and working with the oil companies as her husband worked FOR them.

Sarah Palin, as governor, allows the practice of “aerial hunting” on taxpayer-owned land that is supposed to be set aside as hunting ground for the Alaska Gray Wolf. Aerial hunting means hunters pay $1.00 for the privilage of tracking down wolves with small planes for “sport”, shooting them and just leaving them where they lie. Her complete disregard for polar bears has prompted the National Wildlife Federation to air ads on TV in a last-ditch effort to fight extinction of polar bears in our children’s lifetime. What kind of person, man or woman, would take a stance like this? I guess you need to be an Alaskan to know one.

Tell us how Obama saved education in Chicago. Where did the money go?

Her Eagle Forum questionnaire answers are priceless. She doesn’t even know the basics.
11. Are you offended by the phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?
SP: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance.

“Let’s look at Palin and Obama’s past and see who is more radical.”
Hell we can look at the present for that.
Palin believes in teaching creationism in schools.
Palin believes that abortion should be severely restricted, even think the pill is a form of abortion.
She believes in abstinence education even when her own teenage daughter gets pregnant.
That’s fairly radical for a relatively moderate country.

“11. Are you offended by the phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?
SP: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance.”
The Pledge was adopted in the late 1800′s and the words under God were added in 1954.

We have video of Palin addressing the AIP so I don’t know what more to say about that.

Sarh’s Pastor
But Pastor Kalnins has also preached that critics of President Bush will be banished to hell; questioned whether people who voted for Sen. John Kerry in 2004 would be accepted to heaven; charged that the 9/11 terrorist attacks and war in Iraq were part of a war “contending for your faith;” and said that Jesus “operated from that position of war mode.”

Thinking,
I am shocked…shocked I say to hear such virulent views coming from her pastor.

All of this hoopla over Palin is just the media in a panic.
They know she has energized the GOP and that scares them to death.
America knows the media is in the tank for Obama.
McCain/Palin08

So… she was in a militia party. I wonder what their views on Timothey McVeigh were at the time.
I was a Republican in California back then… and even Republicans came dangerously close to condoning McVeigh’s actions against.
I really wonder what a full blown militia mom would have to say about it.

Thanks to MSM such as ABC I have finally decided to not stay passive and be content to cast one vote in November. The non-stop, over-the-top partisan political advocacy reporting of MSM such as ABC is shameful and dishonorable and it has finally pushed me over the edge …. right into the Republican camp! As a lifelong Democrat who voted for George Bush in the last presidential election I have finally had enough. I will write my first check of the election season and my first check EVER to the Republican party; I will change at last my party affiliation and I will volunteer my time and resources to make sure that BO IS NOT ELECTED president of the U.S., and I will send every one of the solicitation letters I still get from my fellow Democrats back with a piece of my mind.
And next time ABC has “investigative” urges they should check into the background of Biden’s lobbyist son and the pending lawsuits against him. Or what about BO’s ties to the convicted fellon, Rezko, or his connections to the terrorist-turned-American-college-professor Ayers?
By bringing up people’s family members ABC has opened up the floodgates and now finally BO’s and Biden’s backgrounds and past relationships cannot be swept under the rug and called off limits. That’s the silver lining in all this ugliness, I guess. Perhaps now we can get ALL the truth voters deserve.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin employed a lobbying firm to secure almost $27 million in federal earmarks for a town of 6,700 residents while she was its mayor, according to an analysis by an independent government watchdog group.

Palin oversaw the hiring of a lobbyist, Steven Silver — a former chief of staff to now-indicted GOP senator Ted Stevens –to help win federal earmarks for the city.
the very issues that Abramoff headed up for Greenberg at the time. In other words, Silver appears to have been a part of “Team Abramoff.”

Folks -
The AIP is a political force in Alaska. They are kind of like the Green Party for Liberals, big deal.
They are not a militia. They simply do not trust Washington much…and who does when you think about it.
Alaska probably would be better off by themselves….they would be richer per person than the Saudis…
So Obama went to the DailyKos convention and that was 3 weeks ago. They say more hateful things than AIP ever did.
What silly makenews…
Obama can attend a hate festival every Sunday for 20 years and you are chasing her for attending a legitimate political event 14 years ago?
Hope-o-crisy…

Not only did she attend AIP meetings… but she also expressed solidarity with them as governor in an official address.

And yet the media continues to ignore Tony Rezko, continues to ignore Ayers, continues to ignore snorting cocaine in the back of limosines, now is ignoring Joe Biden fabricating how his wife died with new embellishments.
It’s Sarah all the time, 24/7. They’ll do everything the can to prevent a woman being on a GOP ticket.

I don’t think that we should be electing people from the militia movement.

Interesting poll numbers today:
Gallup Tracking: Obama +8
Rasmussen Tracking: Obama +6
Hotline/FD: Obama +9
CBS News: Obama +8
CNN: Obama +1
CNN is the last holdout, their poll was taken mostly before and during the announcement of SP when people didn’t know about Troopergate and Bridgegate. The first 4 were taken after these scandals became known.
Since them, we’ve all learned about AIPgate; Earmarkgate; Babygate and Investigationgate.

Oh and LOL at people claiming this article is biased against Palin. The author has presented both sides of the argument.
How much more balance do you want?

I think Palin is going to withdraw. She cannot stay on the ticket and still win.
Right?
The only people I know who are behind Palin are either extreme Christian Republican partisans… or paid GOP political activists whose fortunes rest on how well they can spin this.
I don’t know any Democrats who think it is a good idea. I don’t know any independents who think it is a good idea. And, I know many moderate Republicans who are scratching their heads about Palin.
But I think the old guy is too stubborn to change his mind.

SP ran an administration of 50 people when Mayor.
But it gets even worse. When she was mayor, she was forced to outsource the running of that administration to … an administrator.
Admit it guys. McCain is toast.

This just keeps getting better and better! John McCain has proved to be beyond a “maverick”; he’s a loose cannon! I am an Obama supporter, but I’m energized by this campaign too – can’t wait to see what crawls out of the woodwork next. Very entertaining.

Matt,
AIP is more akin to a Libertarian extremist than the Green Party socialist.
If you don’t trust Washington, get involved and change it.
If you want a civil society for over 300 million people, you’re going to require a sizable government, regardless of what form it takes.
Sitting on your shopping bags and whining about what you don’t like about Washington only gives your money and your power to the corporations who sold you all that crap you just can’t live without.
Alaska wouldn’t be better off on it own, and its residents wouldn’t be rich as the Saudi royal family. Without investors and developers Alaska would have never been able to develop and export their most valued natural resources. They gave up their sovereignty in exchange for our “help.”
Alaska would never be allowed to secede. We went to war with Iraq to return the oil properties and leases that were nationalized in the 60s to the original members of the Iraq Petroleum Company consortium; we certainly wouldn’t wait over three decades to do the same in Alaska. If AIP had any real power, they would have already been declared terrorists by Bush and the oil companies and shipped off to GITMO. So, AIP is free to make all the noise it wants, but Alaska’s star on the flag isn’t going anywhere.
Any association by Sarah Palin with AIP calls her judgment into question. If she actually supports the secession of Alaska, she’s either a traitor to her country, or she’s insane.

And what about her fiscal responsibilities? “She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it with indebtedness of over $22 million.”
That’s a lot of money for a city with 5 or 6K inhabitants

How can their motto be “Country First” when the heartbeat away belongs to a nut fringe group that wants to SECEDE FROM THE UNITED STATES???
There will be much more to this story once it comes out that she has deep ties to the group and even attended meetings THIS YEAR.
Karl Rove made the decision to pick Palin as the Veep. McCain wanted Lieberman. This says a lot about how any McCain/Palin administration will be run.

Jake,
Searching the Internet found out the “American Secession Project” a website that is (quoting) “Dedicated to placing secession in the mainstream of political thought as a viable solution to contemporary problems.” This means opting-out of the United States of America. At this site I found a link to the Alaskan Independence website Party (AIP). There I checked out the History section, where I found this:
“I’m an Alaskan, not an American. I’ve got no use for America or her damned institutions.” – Joe Vogler. and this “Vogler served as Chairman of the Party from 1986 until his death in 1993.”
Mr Vogler’s rugged mug in on the Memorial section
It should really be easy to settle the question of “Who among the Alaskan populace is or was involved with AIP?”
Despite Alaska being the size of Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and the United Kingdom combined (wikipedia), the residents there cluster around small, close-knit communities. Where family histories run long, deep and, unavoidably, intertwine. Histories that hang on the walls of dens, offices and foyers; filling family albums with old, cracked, sepia stained, photos.
“Know hope!” “Truth give birth in due time.”

Ryan C
Double digits? Oh, that’s funny. If Obama couldn’t open up a double-digit lead after wrapping up the DEM nomination against arguably a much stronger candidate (HC) than Mccain, he’s certainly not going to do it after the Republican National Convention. It’s that kind of mind-numbing logic by DEM supporters that have kept the Republicans in the White House for 28 of the past 40 years. This race will go down to the wire. Your candidate isn’t strong enough to close the sale in September.

BLAME KARL ROVE, THE REPUBLICAN MASTERMIND.

Glen Hull
Nice try at the spin, son. The pollsters have said that the closeness of the two conventions and the timing of McCain’s annoucement has skewed this election season’s post convention polling.
The Labor Day weekend and Gustav are over and as more people focus on the McCain’s monumentally flawed choice and incredibly poor judgment, the polls will slowly move to a double digit lead for Obama.

I find it fascinating that the media is on Day 5 of Rumor and innuendo against Palin’s family, but when John Edwards story was the 900 pound gorilla in the room, they wouldn’t touch it. Edwards and his campaign manager very probably committed crimes of campaign finance law and a fraud on donors, but the media claims it was a family matter, so hands off.
Brian Ross this morning was trying to call McCain a liar because a few Republicans went out partying last night, but no mention of the fact that ABC camera man was strangled trying to film Obama/Biden/Edwards money man Fred Baron, the one who paid hush money for Rielle Hunter. I’m sure the women of America can see the irony of a tale of two babies.

This is ridiculous.
I’m so mad at John McCain and his joke of a campaign, I could spit.
The Republican party – MY PARTY! – is supposed to the party of patriots, the party of putting America first.
I think there’s plenty wrong with Washington DC – and lately, neither party has done a damn thing to fix it.
But to secede?
No way. It’s not often that I’ll quote a Democrat, but read your history… Andrew Jackson had a pretty good response when he was asked what he’d do if a state’s leader tried to secede – he said he hang ‘em right on the White House lawn.
Way to go McVain… You’ve been stabbing MY party – not YOURS – in the back for 20 years, and now, you just put the cherry on top.
You pick a candidate for the Vice Presidency of the United States who, it seems, DOESN’T EVEN WANT TO BE A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES!
I won’t vote for those damn liberals – Obama and Biden – but there is no way in HELL I’m voting McVain and his secessionist VP.
I guess it’s writing in Duncan Hunter for me.

Don’t diss the foreign policy experience you get as Governor of Alaska! It appears that relations between the United States and Alaska have never been better, and we have this former secessionist and her challanging year and a half in office to thank for the solid relationship between Alaska and its number 1 trading partner, the U.S.

According to Josh Marshall at TPM, the Alaska Division of Elections says that Todd Palin was a registered member of AIP from 1995 through 2002.
Why does Todd Palin hate America?
Why did John McCain make such a poor choice? Is this kind of knee-jerk decision making the steady hand America needs during these uncertain times?

This has nothing to with Obama. This is all the MSM and anti-McCain bloggers. McCain hired the electioneer who smeared him in 2000 and is running with Rove. Don’t believe for a second John’s hands are clean.

If the MSM can play 10-30 seconds worth of video of Jeremiah Wright for days and days on end, then they had better be able to make Sarah Palin’s affiliation with a political party that supports a vote on secession from the Union for at least that much time.
The MSM should do its job and force John McCain answer exactly why and how he chose someone to be VP that may well believe that there should only be 49 states. If the answer is “I didn’t know,” he should explain in detail how he and his campaign could have missed such a staggeringly important fact, and chose his proposed #2 for the most powerful nation on Earth on the basis of what seems for all the world like nothing more than a rash whim.

I guess Palin is actually more qualified than ANY Senator to be at the top of the ticket if you happen to buy that logic.

Big Daddy,
You lost me at #1.
If only all terrorists just had
“Terrorist” as their middle name
we could cut the CIA budget substantially.

Leonard:
Something you have been lost your whole life…

Big D,
What does that actually mean?

It’s too bad, we’re not looking at the right issues and assigning anger to the right person. McCain should be ashamed. He couldn’t pick Lieberman, so he picks the weakest person he could. I guess figuring, well I can’t have my way, I’ll show you(Republican Party) He’s been smiling and laughing ever since. If he wanted a female VP, I find it difficult to believe Palin is it. He doesn’t really believe it. He’s walked on the toes of every female qualified senator and he ‘s laughing at it. At one point, McCain was going to independent, leaving the Republican party. But he said, oh, heck I’ll hang in there vote with Bush. Make it look like I can be a team player. Now for lots and lots of reason, he’s picked Palin whom I understand after the fact, he’s team is finally vetting. It’s payback to the Republican party. If he gets elected, he’ll get to thumb his nose at the entire country. Why? for being left for 5 1/2 years as a P.O.W. If he really cared, I believe he would have sought a qualified VP. So if you’re upset, be upset with the right person and look right at McCain. After all he talked to her for 5-10 minutes, he knows her well.

Who says Sarah Palin doesn’t have foreign policy experience? Indeed, if she and her husband and the AIP had their way, Alaska would be a foreign country!

I guess Palin is actually more qualified than ANY Senator to be at the top of the ticket if you happen to buy that logic.
If you are like most Americans, there is hope!

I’m having a Deja Vu moment here…

Interesting,
The “Liberal Media Conspiracy” just pulled the link to the Palin AIP speech and left me with a dangling comment.

This is an important story. Why isn’t it being pushed more into the news?
Come on, after all the hooey about Michelle and Baraks patriotism. This is very germane to the discussion.
On another note, what about the gathering of over 10,000 people at the Ron Paul dissident convention? If they were “PUMAs”, you would be all over it.

Maryam says that Palin has galvanized the “base” and they’ll come out in droves for Palin. But those same people also hate McCain, finding him to be too wishy washy on nearly every “base” issue. He’s voted against bills he’s written. He’s not solid on any issue these days.
So, at *best* the Palin pick merely evens out the enthusiasm of the “base” a little, while scaring off people that were on the fence about McCain.
My bet is that she’s off the ticket within a week. She’s a nightmare, and McCain didn’t know it because he had only just barely met her once before picking her.
This goes to show just how he’d run the whitehouse if elected. Scared yet? You should be.

Why does Todd Palin hate America?

CBS News reports that Chryson who says Palin was at the 1994 Convention did not see her himself. Pretty weak source. What was that about vetting?

Alaskan independence?
time to move to Alaska.

Palin is a non-issue to everyone except the far-right-wing of the evangelical-wing of the Republican Party.
There is ONLY one issue, and that is McCain had MONTHS to vet EVERY Republican that could even have possibly been considered. They vetted her (such as it was) the day before she was selected. This woman has more baggage than Santa does on Christmas Eve!
America CANNOT AFFORD to take a risk on a PRESIDENT that is that compulsive. McCain has PROVED he is intellectually and emotionally unfit for the office of President. Beyond that, his actions are an insult to America.

hey “today”:
you say “1994, that was so long ago. Who cares?”
Well, see… her husband was a member of the party until 2002 (only changed it when she started running for office). Oh, and in 2008 (rather recently, yes?) she addressed the AIP convention – saying she was “delighted” to do so. At that convention they referred to her as the candidate they had supported for governor.
Seems she’s at least a little bit friendly with them even now. They want to secede. As in they are very definitely not pro-America.
That’s why people care.

oh please-don’t use Hillary Clinton name in the same sentence with Palin! Hillary is a woman who has fought for the rights of ALL Americans-not a select group of people living in a state that actually gives a rebate check to the citizens because they have a surplus from the rest of the 49 buying a product from them …OIL……America’s Saudi Arabia……NO WONDER Palin doesn’t support Alternative Energy….she might have to really taken on fiscal decisions in her state……if she didn’t have the oil companies filling the state’s treasury….
It is insulting to women everywhere that the Republicans believe that Sarah Palin is supposed to be an equal within John McCain’s adminstration. Perhaps Cindy McCain and Sarah can exchange recipes….. This ALaska Independence Party “issue” really needs to be explored. If she were to take office…one must look at the Oath she is sworn to uphold….would she do this …? To protect the UNITED STATES…read united…United States of America. Of course she had no problem taking pork barrel spending from the FED…now did she??
Wake up everyone! THis women is a threat to our freedom and way of life!
SHAME ON YOU JOHN MCCAIN! TO think I thought about voting for you not less than 3 months ago…

Wow.
What a lot of B.S.
Democrats can not stand the thought of a strong Republican woman, just like They can;t stand strong Conservative Blacks. Non issues are wrestled with and stretched to make issues.
What a joke!

Sarah gave a video speech at the AIP party convention **this year**. The AIP party wants Alaska to secede from the United States and becomes its own country.
In my mind, that is treason against the United States of America.
Sarah Palin is not qualified because of this.

After Alaska’s secession, Sarah can become Empress of Alaska, and Todd can be her Prince-Consort.
Go for it, Sarah!

Well, all the Nuts are losing it over Gov. Palin. Why the irrational anger? USA TODAY/Gallup poll shows McCain-Palin up by 10 with likely voters. The Messiah has a Freudian slip and mentions his “Muslim faith” in an interview with Steffi. LOL!

To: Master Shake sorry meant for Azaelya
“This isn’t a battle of race or sex as much as it is the wealthy vs the majority”
Where is the proof that the Republican Party is the party of the wealthy? The Democratic Party has as many if not more wealthy people than the Republican Party. George Sores, the vast majority of Hollywood, the Mainstream Media and I can go on and on with examples of people with money who are Democrats.

Palin has NOW opened a can of worms by recently saying Obama is “palling around with terrorists.”
EVERYONE is now aloud to question The Palin’s association with AIP; troopergate scandal, witchcraft practices; improper use of funds to pay for family trips…Palin started it….

McCain had a choice of many really intelligent republican women in the congress; why did he pick this unknown, finger wagging, winking, spiteful woman? Oh, yeah! I know. She lies so prettily with a smile and a wink and the republicans are so desperate they will do anything to win the White House again. God help the USofA. Our great country cannot survive four more years of Bush voodoo economics.

We cannot expect Palin to have the drive or courage to work with the bureaucracy of the US government when she is such an outsider and has so little respect for the laws and institutions of this country that she would support Alaska’s secession. The leader of the Alaska Independence Party openly spouted hate for America. That is far more un-American than Obama’s loose, minor acquaintance with Ayers.

I am tired of hearing Conservatives whine about the “mainstream” ..er, elite liberal media. Palin has already given her ultimatum about how she “chooses” to speak, defining her terms, and whether or not she will answer, etc. Where’s the outrage?
Re: Ayers. The Annenberg project was founded by Walter Annenberg, a lifelong Republican appointed by Nixon and Reagan.
The Annenberg board also included several civic, business and education leaders, many of them Republicans.
Former Illinois state Republican Rep. Diana Nelson calls the Ayers smear silly and ridiculous.

The founder of the AIP, Joe Vogler, had this to say about America. This was before he was murdered during a sale of plastuc explisives gone bad.
“I’m an Alaskan, not an American. I’ve got no use for America or her damned institutions.”
“The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government. And I won’t be buried under their damn flag. I’ll be buried in Dawson. And when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home.”
And she has the audacity to take Obama to task over his tangential link to Ayers??

A turd wrapped in fine newspaper and sprayed with perfume and lipstick is still gonna stink.

I dont know why MAINSTREAM media spends so much time diging for dirt on Palin. Its like Joe Biden and Obama get a pass on everything they have ever said or did in their past. I would like to see some honest investigation on all the canidates equally. I am sure if CNN,ABC and CBS did that, the polls would not be where they are today. Obama is the most secretaive canidate I have ever seen. Demand to see his College records. I bet most people will not like what they see. how about some of the the things he has stated in his book, But dont worry the mainstream media has given the Democrats a pass, its not that important its only a presidential campaign. They have all jumped on the OBAMA train and dont care what he may do to our country. You will all feel very stupid in a few years when his time is over. I dont think Obama will be office more than one term, once eveyone see’s his true colors.
