You don’t really know that she’s a libertarian at heart. Also, the Alaska Independence Party isn’t sure she was ever a member. She spoke at a 1994 conference but that doesn’t mean she was a member of it. You sure enjoy judging folks.
God only knows what she is now. Apparently, she has changed her mind and will, no doubt, change her mind again if she wants to stay on McCain's ticket.
Right now, I can say that she has a very COZY relationship with the secessionist Alaskan Independent Party (AIP), as is evident form this 2008 VIDEO
Then there is testimony of AIP officials such as this one:
Clark was AIP secretary at that time.
Sarah Palin refuses to answer the question directly, so McCain's staffers are denying it for her. Why won't she just call a conference and simply state if this is true or not? But, as long as she says nothing, she's not liable. Why should I listen to and believe McCain's staffers? I want to hear her say in public that she wasn't.
So far, all the supporters of hers on this forum provided no documentation to show that their judgment (yes they judge too!) was somehow right. She is simply accepted on blind faith (why am I not surprised!?!).
Palin enters the race with baggage mile high, refuses to deny or confirm allegations about her association with a secesisonist (anti-American) political party, addressed that same party this year as a "healthy completion" and wishes it success, also acknowledging that her side and the AIP had a "lot in common."
She is running on a conservative, Evangelical platform with a 17-year-old out-of-wedlock pregnant daughter. What a great role model she is! So much for raising children with strong Chrisitian values.
She disagreed with McCain on a number of issues. In Dec 2007 McCain said climate change is man-made. Sarah Palin disagreed in as recently as August 2008! Will she now change her tune?
McCain is also against Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) drilling. Palin is empathic ally in favor of it. This is what she had to say on this (my emphasis):
And she is running with a politician she thought three months ago was "wrong" and lived in a La-La Land?
Finally, when it comes to choosing who's going to run the country that also happens to be the leader of the free world, I hope every voter in this election judges each and every candidate thoroughly. This is a not beauty pageant.
