’)That’s not exactly “country first”, is it?
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.’
Here is video of Sarah Palin addressing the pro-secessionist Alaskan Independence Party at their convention:
UPDATE: Here’s what the founder of the Alaska Independence Party said:
“I’m an Alaskan, not an American. I’ve got no use for America or her damned institutions.”
And Sarah Palin signed up.
Michele Obama expressed that only recently did she become really proud of her country. Palin on the other hand, loved America so much she didn’t want any part of it.
Bush/McCain/Zealot ‘08
Does anyone else get the feeling that this blog is like the 2nd grade?
It should be renamed McCain and Palin are poopyheads cause I said so, neener neener.com
Heck of a job vetting, Johnny!
No, Palin isn’t a poopyhead. She’s apparently a know-nothing secessionist, however.
It cracks me up! You can just visualize oliver trying out all this little bon mot talking points, trying to come up with a bumper sticker. None of them have any legs, as each post is more assinine than the next.
I take it back, Oliver isn’t flinging poo, he is loading different flavors of it into a shotgun and shooting it at a wall to see what sticks!
I guess I should be feeling even better about this election, given the general panic of our esteemed leftist opponents.
Yes, I’m panicked! Skeeered! Look, I don’t know how else to say it but I haven’t felt this positive about an election since the first one I voted in, 1996.
I haven’t felt this positive about an election since the first one I voted in, 1996.
Right. And that highly positive attitude leads you to say stupid shit like “Sarah Palin is a secessionist”? People who are confident in their chances don’t need to resort to such idiocy.
Jay: “Right. And that highly positive attitude leads you to say stupid shit like ‘Sarah Palin is a secessionist’?”
She belonged to a party called the Alaskan Independence Party. A party that wanted Alaska to be independent… hence the name. That’s the definition of secessionist, so how is calling her one stupid?
Or should we just add ’secessionist’ to the list of words you don’t know the definition of?
I’m sorry if its true. Perhaps if McCain had vetted his running mate better he wouldn’t have picked someone who was a member of a fringe movement. I know you’d like liberals like me to do like we did in the past and assume its all just a misunderstanding as your side undermines us, our candidates, and the country, but that has changed. Obama could be up in the polls 50 or down 80 and I would still find Palin’s past alliances of this sort to be interesting and worth posting.
Why is it that every time someone brings out a fact about Sarah Palin you Repugnants have to go on the attack against them? It’s not our fault that your never-to-be-VP is a sham and gets called out on her positions. When she entered the political arena the gloves came off and just about everything is now open to scrutiny. If you don’t like the fact that Palin is a knee-jerk pick made only to satisfy the party base then you need to discuss that problem with John McCain.
Personally, I’d rather she stay on the Repugnant ticket as they’re doing wonders for the Democrats.
Obama/Biden 2008
“People who are confident in their chances don’t need to resort to such idiocy.”
Why is it idiotic to point out that Sarah Palin was apparently a member of an organization that advocated Alaska’s secession from the United States? What’s so idiotic about it? That doesn’t strike you as a rather odd fact for someone currently running for vice-president? It’s certainly interesting enough that some reporter should ask Palin about it. I’m sure she has a perfectly reasonable explanation. Right?
And can you imagine the brouhaha that would ensue if it was discovered that Obama had been a member, however briefly, of some Black Nationalist party 14 years ago? Spare us the sarcasm, Jay. You guys would cream your shorts if you had evidence like that.
“We aim to be a self-sufficient state made up of the hardest working, most grateful Americans in our nation.”
But, but…if the Alaska Independence Party gets its way they will be grateful Alaskans not Americans.
I don’t think you can hold this against her because I don’t think she understands what the party wants and I bet its not upholding the Alaskan constitution either.
She must really want to smoke some of that legal Alaskan dope.
“Ollie, old friend.” I said – “Do you remember Sarah Palin from your time in Alaska?”
“Yep, I ‘member that gal. Good looker she was. Great point guard an’ dang near won a beauty contest – too bad for her there were better lookin’ gals there. What I ‘member most ’bout ‘er was the way she fired!”
“Oh yes…” I said “…I hear she was a great hunter and has a bear rug on the sofa in her living room.”
Ollie replied, “Naw – not that kinda’ firing – the other kind. You know, she just likes firing people – an’ she were mighty good at it! ‘Course, everyone knows about “Troopergate,” her firin’ ol’ Walt Monegan an all – ‘course then she lied about why she did it – didn’t seem right – for such a God fearin’ woman an’ all. Anyway, the guy what replaced ol’ Walt had’a quit in a couple o’ weeks on account of his sexual harassment problem. Randy folks we got up here in the land of the midnight sun. ‘Course, ain’t nothin’ gonna come of it all – heck the Alaskan government investigation won’t even get to depose her ’till a few weeks from now an’ she’s got herself all lawyered-up to keep slowin’ it all down – by the time they’re ready to get at ‘er Bush, Rove and Cheney will make sure that problem goes bye, bye. Yes sir.
Then there were the time she got all righteous when she were Mayor of Wasilla – fired the Chief of Police and the Library Director for not supporin’ her election. Serves ‘em right – what’s not to support ’bout that girl – her being such an upright Christian an’ all. Mind you, the recall effort forced her to rehire the Librarian and she settled out of court with the Police Chief. Good thing they rehired the Librarian – every town Wasilla’s size ought to have at least one person that can read AND write.
Well then we got the time ol’ Todd Palin, Sarah’s other half, got upset when Sarah’s long time friend and long time aide started to date Todd’s friends ex-wife and ol’ Todd got her to fire him. Serves him right – messin’ with ol’ Todd’s friend like that – what’s a buddy for, eh?
It’s hardly worth talkin’ ’bout but there were that “Dairygate” thing too. When she were elected as Governor the “Creamery Board” had decided (after years of study) that they had to unload a money losin’ state owned diary. “Nonsense” she said – or somethin’ near like that. So she fired ‘em all an’ replaced them with her hand picked dairy creamery expert friends – not everyone has a pile of ‘em – but our Sarah had! ‘Course – they come around to agreein’ with the guys what she had done fired. Heck, they only spent $200,000 more tryin’ to save the place ’till she got ol’ Uncle Sam to step in with some good ol’ mainland greenbacks.
Yep, that’s our Sarah. Say, did I ever tell you she dang near won a beauty contest?
Hello…? Please defend, as a candidate for the Vice Presidency, a candidate who is on record as advocating secession for the state she represents.
According to my ISP your last post was almost two hours ago. Is Sarah Palin the Jefferson Davis of the 21st Century? YES OR NO?
Yes, my tongue is in cheek.
Jay & Duh:
I notice you two never even address the allegations. I wonder why.
OMG, nice try Jay and Duh (same person?) Excellent point, Bruce. Had Obama had any similar association, forget it. Can you say SWIFT BOAT?
Maybe Palin was too busy doing speeches for Secessionists to remember to drive her daughter to the abstinence-only class?
What’s the matter? Where is the scorn? Why is Sarah Palin NOT a secessionist? Hello? Jay Tea? Jay? duh? jmccann? JWG? Hello?
There is not anything wrong with wanting to revolt against the government of the country she claims she loves.
Forget it, Bruce. Once they’ve been confronted with cold, hard facts, they bug off. Happens every time.
Fling.
Whirr.
SPLAT!!
They sling shit, and the truth is our gigantic fan.
Perhaps if I resort to a testosterone contest.
If Jay, or Jay Tea, or JWG, or jmccann, or the aptly named duh, don’t tell me why it’s unfair to call a former member of a secessionist party a “secessionist”, you’re all pussies.
Oh, and Dave and Scratch, too.
Ya got five minutes, girls.
And anybody who mentions Robert Byrd is an EVEN BIGGER pussy.
Sorry guys, I just have seen nothing that supports the idea that Palin is a secessionist…nowhere.
Can you point out an example or two?
I saw her addressing the independent party, wishing them luck, supporting being an american. I didn’t see a thing about secession.
So….since the democrats all fought against the equal rights in the sixties, are you the “bigot party”?

Yes, but that was thirt …
Just answer the question, please …
Bwa – ha – ha – ha – ha – ha – ha!!
Oliver,
Here is a little tibit that shows Palin belonged to this party (minute 6).
http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/51323-sarah-palin-and-the-alaska-independence-party-aip-part-1
While Palin has the right to belong to any group, and should not be punished for her past actions, I just have two thoughts:
1) This is not a group she belonged to 20 years ago or even 10 years ago. It was more recent than that. Is that evidence of her tought process? Seems to be a good indicator considering the recent time frame.
2) I still don’t think we should be looking at this as an issue, just like I don’t think we should look at her daugther for her pregnancy, but these ARE things certain people certain people on the right (ala Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, James Dobson, ect.) do consistantly bring up as issues. Anyone remember Dobson and the focus for Family’s response to Jamie Lynn Spears pregnancy? Remember how the right said she was a bad role model and she had a terrible mother. Amazing to see the spin machine at work here now that the daughter of socially conservative VP candidate is just like the other young under age, non-married, women who get pregnant. Anyone remember Rush’s or Sean’s comments on John Edward affair? How about comments about Bill Clinton’s BJ? And the ongoing and most recent, how about Obama’s “association” with Ayers? The right can’t have it both ways…if the hard hitters on the right feel it is necessary to judge everyone else’s morals, then those same people should be able to take it. Then again the right is “fair and balanced” right, oh wait that’s FOX. FRUEDIAN SLIP.
Oliver, keep up what you are doing by bringing information to the forefront.
Well Bruce?
2 hours and no evidence that Palin ever supported secession?
What was it about bugging out in the face of cold hard facts kiddies?
She was a member of a party that favors secession. People don’t join political parties with major policy goals and not have anything in common with that goal. I clearly have to spell this out to you because you are stupid.
Next up: Palin’s beliefs; speaking in tongues.
yes, stupid am I
Please show me her membership card, where they state they are all in favor of secession, and then demonstrate that it was a platform she agreed with.
All reasonable requests
Or, on the other hand, you could just stfu because you know you are trying to develop a tempest in a tea kettle. Or then let us just begin again with despicable “reverend”wright and his racist, hateful ideology. You know, the rev that was such a key advisor to The Obama. Cause I mean if just being a member of a group automatically equates with agreeing with every word they say, well then, lets just hold that standard up for everyone then shall we?
Anyone want to start a poll on whether or not any of these reasonable requests is filled?
Why is it the more I hear about her the more I think about the Falabalas from Snow Crash.
This is really rather shocking. Not so much that Sarah Palin would be a party of the Alaskan Independence Party, they do have polcies beyond leaving America after all and most of them are dyed in the wool libertarian conservative.
And they are a seperatist group too. Anyone attempting to argue otherwise should take the time to look up their website.
“I’m an Alaskan, not an American. I’ve got no use for America or her damned institutions.” -Joe Vogler (founder of the AIP)
Thier platform is to call for a free vote to seek independence. Well, good for them to attempt to do so in a peaceful manor, but it dosen’t change what they are.
What is really shocking is how John McCain, a man who’s entire campaign is basicly him reapating the words “I’m super patriotic” would pick a former member, and still on quite good terms if the videos of her addressing AIP conventions as recently as this year are to be beleived, of a seperatist group as a person one 72 year old heartbeat away from being President?!
If he did not know her past.. well.. HOW could he not know?! His judgement is either non-existant for failing to fidn these things out about Palin or he didn’t see how having a sepratist as his V.P choice would go over…?
I hope he’s simply embarrassingly incompetent and not suffering from dementia.
Palin is militia to the core. She practiced on the animals for future confrontations with the ATF
“Please show me her membership card, where they state they are all in favor of secession, and then demonstrate that it was a platform she agreed with.
All reasonable requests”
Asking for him membership card is reasonable? Fuck no.
We’ve presented more than enough evidence that she was a member for any reasonable man to accept. The head of the party said she was, she spoke at their conference, even after becoming a Republican.
Yet you want her membership card. And you call it reasonable.
Does anyone else get the feeling that this blog is like the 2nd grade?
Hey, you reap what you sow.
While Palin has the right to belong to any group, and should not be punished for her past actions,
Oh, absolutely not, but if the voters are disgusted by it, then
Please show me her membership card, where they state they are all in favor of secession, and then demonstrate that it was a platform she agreed with.
Why the hell would she join a single issue political group if she didn’t agree with them on the issue? For the free pancake dinner?
That would be like joining the KKK if you don’t think blacks are inferior.
Sarah Palin has every right to be in a party that advocates secession from the USA. And we have every right to question the patriotism of somebody who would be a member of such a party, especially in relation to their fitness to be vice president.
So much anger towards women. Keep it up, morons, you’re gonna hand this election to McCain on a silver platter. Every attack reminds women of all the times they’ve been laughed at in a male dominated society.
Geez, McCain sure knew how to draw you lunatics out into the open.
Sarah Palin = shit magnet
In the weeks remaining before McCain dumps her so she can “spend more time with her family,” I really doubt they’re going to let a reporter get within 100 feet of her. Just so many questions, and so much freakin’ weirdness in her personal and political life.
“So much anger towards women.”
Not at all. More like extreme incredulity at the fact that McCain couldn’t be bothered to check the background of someone who could potentially be the POTUS in case of an emergency.
I know plenty of women who think picking Palin was crass, cynical, and insulting to the intelligence of women who vote on the issues, not on the genitalia.
But please, continue on with your fantasizing. Don’t you also want to mention how Hillary supporters are just so mad at big bad Obama that they’ll vote for somebody with extremist conservative positions on a woman’s right to choose? That the Palin pick was “mavericky”? How selecting someone with at least five different potential scandals brewing has “revitalized” the Republican party?
I love it. I’m smiling as I type this and ponder the shipwreck that is the USS McCain.
Yea these people are unamerican and need to be purged…
Here is the first two items of their platform
To effect full compliance with the constitutions of the United States of America and the State of Alaska.
To support and defend States’ Rights, Individual Rights, Property Rights, and the Equal Footing Doctrine as guaranteed by the constitutions of the United States of America and the state of Alaska.
Again, this is a mountain out of a molehill of lefty excrement, driven by desperation.
“Again, this is a mountain out of a molehill of lefty excrement, driven by desperation.”
So why are you trolling the boards here if it doesn’t matter?
The party platform calls for secession and disengagement from the federal government. Please keep defending her membership.
Duh,
These “liberal” bloggers are not attempting to do things the right has not done for years. Should she be punished for views she had AFTER she finished college in the 90’s? Maybe not. But should the right have tried to go after Hillary for papers she wrote in the 60’s? What about blasting Kerry for his anti war stance he took after serving? Oh did I mention that was in the 70’s? Or how about trying to link Obama to Ayers activities and thoughts from the 60’s? Yeah and that is STILL going on. Doesn’t feel so good when the shoe is on the other foot does it. As for evidence of her membership I point you to my earlier post at 10:08 with this link:
http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/51323-sarah-palin-and-the-alaska-independence-party-aip-part-1
So let’s recap the republican strategy so far:
1) Goal: Highlight Obama’s lack of experience
Solution: Get a candidate who has no experience (unless you count her “executive” experience inwhich case she has more than Obama AND McCain).
2) Goal: Create questions around Obama’s patriotism.
Solution: Put a candidate on your ticket who was part of a group that did not want any part of the United States.
3) Goal: Question Obama’s judgement
Solution: Don’t properly vett your VP choice; vote for and continue to support and unjust and unpopular war; continue to TALK about change when your record indicates otherwise.
I think you get the picture. KEEP DOING A GREAT JOB REPORTING OLIVER!!!!!
Palin would sure like Duh. He likes speaking in tongues.
Fa la ba la liberal. Duh na ba fa la lefty, bi mi ni ba me communist.
Rapture!!!
I went to bed, but, upon awakening, find that only Duh took up my challenge. He wound up looking like a fool as usual. The rest of the usual pussies proved themselves wiser, but still pussies.
And I know conservatives have a limited imagination, but this fantasy might give ‘em wood: Suppose that the secretary of the Black Panther party disclosed tomorrow that Obama had once, very briefly, been a member?
Can you imagine? Can you imagine the conservative (and MSM) firestorm?
http://www.akip.org/goals.html
The long term goals of the Alaskan Independence party as listed on their own website (linked above) are as follows:
Goals
Until we as Alaskans receive our Ultimate Goal, the AIP will continue to strive to make Alaska a better place to live with less government interference in our everyday lives.
The Alaskan Independence Party’s goal is the vote we were entitled to in 1958, one choice from among the following four alternatives:
1) Remain a Territory.
2) Become a separate and Independent Nation.
3) Accept Commonwealth status.
4) Become a State.
The call for this vote is in furtherance of the dream of the Alaskan Independence Party’s founding father, Joe Vogler, which was for Alaskans to achieve independence under a minimal government, fully responsive to the people, promoting a peaceful and lawful means of resolving differences.
She was a member of a party that favors secession. People don’t join political parties with major policy goals and not have anything in common with that goal. I clearly have to spell this out to you because you are stupid.
He [Barack Obama] was a member of a church that preaches racism. People don’t join churches with fundamental philosophies (Black Liberation Theology) and not have anything in common with that philosophy. I clearly have to spell this out to you because you are stupid.
Sarah Palin has every right to be in a party that advocates secession from the USA. And we have every right to question the patriotism of somebody who would be a member of such a party, especially in relation to their fitness to be vice president.
Barack Obama has every right to be in a church that advocates racism and anti-Americanism (God Damn America?). And we have every right to question the patriotism of somebody who would be a member of such a church, especially in relation to their fitness to be president.
Thanks for pointing that out, Oliver.
“He [Barack Obama] was a member of a church that preaches racism. People don’t join churches with fundamental philosophies (Black Liberation Theology) and not have anything in common with that philosophy. I clearly have to spell this out to you because you are stupid.”
No problem. Show me where in the United Church of Christ’s website or official papers that they say their philosophy is black liberation philosophy. Take your time. Hold your breath if you have to. When you are starting to turn blue, that means that you are close to finding it, so don’t exhale!
Don’t forget her Dominionist ties and sympathies.
No problem. Show me where in the United Church of Christ’s website or official papers that they say their philosophy is black liberation philosophy.
Try this.
Wow, that was difficult.
If Jay, or Jay Tea, or JWG, or jmccann, or the aptly named duh, don’t tell me why it’s unfair to call a former member of a secessionist party a “secessionist”, you’re all pussies.
Just like it’s not unfair to call a former member of a racist church a “racist”. See ‘Obama, Barack’ and ‘Trinity United Church of Christ’.
Lets not get distracted here lefties.
So far no one has shown me a wit of evidence that palin is secessionist. Nor in fact have they shown me a wit of evidence that AIP is secessionist.
Bruce still has the “sleepies” in his eyes, and hasn’t actually read anything. Bruce please show me where the AIP is secessionist, and where Palin has agreed with that philosophy.
Or not. It doesn’t really matter, as “Palin Secessionist” is the current meme being sent down The Obama Mojo Wire, and Oliver will continue to parrot it with his Hallelujah Chorus here until he receives more instruction from the Mother Ship.
Let’s take a look at some other items on the Alaska Independence Party platform (not forgetting that the first one is “To effect full compliance with the constitutions of the United States of America and the State of Alaska.”):
- To support the right of the individual to keep and bear arms.
- To support the complete abolition of the concept of sovereign or governmental immunity, so as to restore accountability for public servants.
- To support the rights of parents to privately or home school their children.
- To support the privatization of government services.
- To oppose the borrowing of money by government for any purposes other than for capital improvements.
- To strengthen the traditional family and support individual and accountability without government interference or regulation.
Looks like the AIP party’s preference is less government intrusion into private lives. It sounds good to me.
I guess that’s why Democrats are so concerned about this… Obama and his minions wants MORE government involvement in our lives, not less.
Do you really want to get into shady associations? Seriously? Perhaps it’s almost time for Rev. Wright or William Ayers to make an appearance. OH! That’s right….Barack conveniently “didn’t know” that side of Rev Wright, you know, the racist black asshole side.
Well done Dave. Did you try that “holding your breath” thing? No matter. Your next assignment is to try to explain what black liberation theology is and what black liberation theology tenets does Obama adhere to, as exhibited in his words and deeds.
After all, most churches implore us to put aside our worldly goods so that we may worship God, but how many actually do this?
Oh, and at the national level, the AIP is affiliated with the conservative Constitution Party. Another reason for Dems to hate and fear it, I suppose.
Your next assignment is to try to explain what black liberation theology is and what black liberation theology tenets does Obama adhere to, as exhibited in his words and deeds.
If you’re too lazy to do your own research and learn what black liberation theology is, then you’ll just have to continue being ignorant, I suppose.
And I’ll tell you what black liberation theology tenets Obama adheres to as exhibited in his words and deeds just as soon as you explain what Alaska Independence Party tenets Sarah Palin adheres to as exhibited in her words and deeds.
That’s what I thought. You are dismissed, fascist.
[...] The most amusing thing about all this? Palin’s not only a typical “get government out of my life” Republican, she was once a top member of a party that hates America (and paying their fair share of the tax monies they inhale) so much that they want Ala…. [...]
It’s so funny seeing the lame-ass attacks the Pubbies are making against you, Oliver. They got nuttin’ and they know it.
To oppose the borrowing of money by government for any purposes other than for capital improvements.
Ouch.
With a position like that, it could be difficult to finance a lot of things conservatives favor, like…oh, preemptive wars to find WMD.
Actually, I’m in favor of letting Alaska cede. They have the largest net inflow of federal dollars of all states.
That’s what I thought. You are dismissed, fascist.
The fascists all appear to be on your side of the aisle these days. See “Kurtz, Stanley and release of documents pertaining to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge” and “American Issues Project, lawsuit and request for criminal charges against”.
Stay ignorant, Liberal.
Jonah Goldberg reader found!
So how many tens of copies did you buy?
The fascists all appear to be on your side of the aisle these days. See “Kurtz, Stanley and release of documents pertaining to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge”
That’s right.
‘Cuz nothing says “facism” like calling up a call-in radio talk show!
“fascism,” dnagnabit!
‘Cuz nothing says “facism” like calling up a call-in radio talk show!
Still trying to push the lie that they just told their followers to call up the show and chat, huh?
From the “Obama Action Wire” on this subject, giving instructions to his faithful minions:
The campaign didn’t tell people to rebut the statements being made by Kurtz (nor did they… instead they just called him “smear-merchant”, etc.). They just made it clear that WGN shouldn’t even give Kurtz airtime. In indeed, none of the callers refuted any points, they just said how terrible and irresponsible it was that WGN let Kurtz on to speak. Faithful drones, those Obama followers.
Keep spinnin’, Quaker
The campaign didn’t tell people to rebut the statements being made by Kurtz (nor did they… instead they just called him “smear-merchant”, etc.). They just made it clear that WGN shouldn’t even give Kurtz airtime.
That’s what I said.
They called. With an opinion. To a call-in talk show.
Chilling, ain’t it?
They called. With an opinion. To a call-in talk show.
Telling WGN [the station, not the show host] that Kurtz should not be allowed on the air. And those “opinions” are those of the Obama campaign, per the “Obama Action Wire”.
And how about the lawsuit and request for criminal charges against the American Issues Project?
Hmm. Actually, I’m pretty impressed that she had the balls to be a member of the AIP. Somehow it makes me like her much more.

So, you would vote for a person who:
1) Advocates abstinence-only sex education in high school, yet has an unmarried pregnant seventeen-year-old high-school daughter at home?
2) Is against teaching evolution in science classes, but demands that Creationism (her version) be taught in science classes instead?
3) Has belonged to a political group (along with her husband) that supports Alaska from seceding from the union?
If you haven’t had a lobotomy, then please, put the crack pipe down and step away…
i guess they can’t say sh!t about rev wright anymore…. oh wait , they are repub’s ,.. you know ,the same group who say “the smoking gun is a mushroom cloud so don’t pick a democrat and allow 911 to happen again” knowing damn well it was repub’s were in charge when 911 happened……….. i mean , i want my shit not to stink either but this is getting absurd… he’s not black enough , he’s too black , no wait he’s an elitist , and a muslim … who goes to CHURCH for 3 decades to listen to crazy preachers… i mean ok ,honestly, i see muslims all the time at my church …. and no , im not talking about the 5 percenters at my local church’s chicken…. I think our country would be completely better off if there were no political parties at all …. no labels , no affiliations… no body to point your finger at… simply pick the best person for the job. thats too simple isnt it ?!
less to cloud your judgement with … dont ya think?
Palin is a see through pick ,,, she’s the type that have so much pride it effects her judgement…. she would rather her family be tried and found guilty than to admit she is wrong about something…
how about sex education for the active teens of alaska … because we all know the abstinence classes are obviously not working………
personally i don’t care if she is pro life , im not for the person who wants to take the choices that shape peoples lives away from those people…. you can’t legislate morality….. but what you can do is take away my freedom…..
moment of clarity : im glad there is someone who knows what i need more than me …… WAKE THE FUCK UP
great minds think for themselves
im an american and i approve this message
Palin is a JOKE, she want’s to point the finger at Obama, Ok well there is an old song that states when you are living in a glass house don’t throw stones! I found this on a web site
VP candidate Palin boasted that she squeezed the oil and gas industry for billions that have enriched the state’s businesses, residents, and boosted employment in some communities. That prosperity hasn’t touched many Native Alaskans. Overall one fifth of Native Alaskans are below the poverty line. In some rural villages their jobless rate tops 80 percent. Despite sheaths of anti-discrimination laws, and even an affirmative action plan for special needs military veterans, on the books in Alaska, discrimination against Native Alaskans is rampant.
The Alaska Human Rights Commission notes that discrimination complaints jumped more than fifty percent in a seven year period in the late 1990s. Many of those complaints didn’t come from Native Alaskans. Native Alaskan leaders bluntly told civil a civil rights commission community forum in 2001 that they simply didn’t trust the system.
Sarah Palin is a dummy sidekick and I tremble at the thought of her running the U.S. government!!!
GO BARAMA AND BIDEN!!!!!
What if it was discovered that Obama had been a part of a socialist party? Oh wait, it was and it received almost no coverage. I’m not a McCain/Palin fan, but I am even less of a fan of Obama.
