Members of 'Fringe' Alaskan Independence Party Say Palin Was a Member in 90s (New leftist attack)
ABC News ^ | 9/01/08 | Jake Tapper

Posted on 09/01/2008 5:26:49 PM PDT by buckeye12

The campaign of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., likes to herald the independence of its new running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

Officials of the Alaskan Independence Party say that Palin was once so independent, she was once a member of their party, which, since the 1970s, has been pushing for a legal vote for Alaskans to decide whether or not residents of the 49th state can secede from the United States.

And while McCain's motto -- as seen in a new TV ad -- is "Country First," the AIP's motto is the exact opposite -- "Alaska First -- Alaska Always."

did you read the comments following the article? Some very funny stuff, just a few to give you a taste.. One clown is claiming that all of this nonsense is just a massive Rovian plot and that Palin will step aside soon thus allowing the GOP to paint the Dems as sexist. Somebody else was convinced that Palin coming out now and saying that her 17 year old daughter is 5 months pregnant and couldn’t possibly be the Trig’s mom because he was born 4 months ago is just a smoke screen in order to hide the truth, that the daughter was actually Trig’s mother and that we should expect to hear soon that the daughter has had a miscarriage. I have NEVER in my life time seen such a complete and total suspension of rational behavior by a group of people, sick sick sick!

What would they have to find for it to be a deal-breaker for me?

Hmmmm, for me it would be if she attended a racist church for 20 years, held close associations with communists, terrorists, and other anti-american groups, blackmailed her political opponents so they dropped out of the race, and claimed that her candidacy could stop the rising oceans. Yeah, that would pretty much do it.

Um, AIP isn’t a fringe party, it’s a Conservative party. Wally Hickel was elected under its banner in 1990 after years of watching the GOP put up ineffectual candidates that lost to Democrats.

Secession? OMG, Governor Palin is really one of us. The right of secession for the individual states was taken away at the point of the bayonet.

>> These people make me sick!!

These people make me SMILE.

Palin dominates the news cycle 24/7, with “scandals” that won’t affect her electability except among moonbats that would die before they vote for her anyway.

Haven’t seen a thing so far to indicates she’s anything but the strong, decent character we saw on Friday.

Meanwhile, obama is relegated to a whisper now and again.

Have faith. The silent majority is neither stupid nor amoral.

I can't read those comments..they are sickening. The left wing wack jobs on DU and Kos are mostly druggies, and unemployed, and sit in their asses all day online trolling and spamming blogs leaving comments with their talking points.
That's how they convince themselves they are winning, and everyone is on board with their agenda, then election night when they lose, they scream about voter fraud. They really do live in their own universe.

It's all over. Obama has won. Now the MSM has uncovered Palin's EARLIEST Secret Plot.

They have, in their possession, the Original Letter written in 1972 by Sarah Heath (Palin's maiden name), expressing a wish for the recipient of the letter, one David Cassidy, to run away with her. She can't get by this one.

According to the story her dad actually shot that bear, but it looks like the acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree.

The hits are coming fast and hard....

This isn't a "hit," it's a gnat on the windshield of a freight train.

I'll bet whatver she did, her friends didn't aspire to bomb the pentagon.

A conservative third party is a fringe party by definition, according to the Mainstream Media and their shills.

The media ARE the DNC, how true. There has been little about Obama’s close association with unrepentant terrorists. Next the MSM will report that Palin once got a parking ticket and that is the crime of the century.
