"I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions". —Joe Vogler, founder, Alaskan Independence Party" That's why. I'm glad she was never a member of this party. Her husband was, though. That might still be a problem.

Put it this way. If Michelle Obama were a longtime member of a damn-America party I think we would be objecting, a little bit.
