Palin was a Secessionist

[Chicken Little]

from ABC

quote: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."

Oh, man.  That's gotta sting.

In the video where she actually asks what it is that the VP does (if she is ready to be president day one, shouldn't she at least know what the VP does?), did you notice her comment regarding what's in it for Alaska?  Not how could she serve her country, but what advantage would this give to her state.

So McCain has chosen a woman who is radically anti-choice, who believes in teaching creationism in schools, whose husband has a DUI, who is currently under investigation in her state, who was before the bridge to nowhere before she was against it, whose experience consists of being the governor of a state with a population less than 1/3 the size of Chicago's for 20 months, and who supports a fringe political group in Alaska.

Did McCain vet the woman at all?

Well, at least she can shoot a moose.

McCain checked her out all right.

Watch how many times he checks out her figure...

Maybe she could go hunting with Cheney.....?

Huffington Post says that the McCain campaign didn't even ask to see the archives of the local Wasilla paper.

Had he done that, he would have learned that there was an attempt to recall her for firing the Police Chief and Library Director for allegedly not supporting her in her 1996 campaign.

You are telling me that McCain didn't see ANY red flags here?  Clearly poor judgment on his part.

[waterboy]

I think she is lying about the firing. Fast talking prevaricator. She called over 15 times to have her ex brother-in-law terminated. The chief resisted apparently and he was fired. Now its because he wasn't "productive"? Yeah, right. That stuff may pass in corporate ranks but not civil service. "At will" sure but you still have to defend yourself better than that.

Agree, this is about poor judgement by MC and poor vetting by his staff.

How do you put someone this close to the presidency who believes in teaching creationism in public schools.[B)] Is that the new direction she's taking the party? Same as the old direction.

Ha ha ha! Whine on!!  Palin rocks!

Obama gave ya'll BIDEN!! HA HA AH! We got Supermom!  And a hunky husband, too!  This is like the Christmas and your brother gets socks -but you get a ray gun!  Only, here the Right just got a ray gun - and you got Geezer McPlugs!!!

And what about that husband and son - not even Republicans? Huh.  So she briefly joined Another Party before regaining her sense and going GOP? Big tent. She sure does not fit the mold - not like Ol' Mouldy and Mr. 142 days.

Isn't actively advocating secession from the United States treasonous? The Southerners who did so during the Civil War certainly were called that.

So much for "Country First."

Call her Sarah "Free Fallin'" Palin.

Really?  That's what you've got?  Your candidate for Vice President didn't even want to be an American at one point in her life and your response is her husband is cute?

I'll take the raygun; Santa left you a box of wet dynamite.  Enjoy.

[tim huntzinger]

HUGE tent.  McCain could have gone from as left as Lieberman or centrist as Romney.

Happy to see that wet dynamite, Chicken Litter!  Better that than an old moldy turd like Mister Plugs!

[guido911]

Palin also supports Nazi sympathizers:

I see the left is still collectively crapping their pants.

[tim huntzinger]

And I hope she 'takes out' that dirt bag ex-brother-in-law.  SNAP SNAP catch his @$$ in a bear trap.

Heh, heh. Left Lieberman. Centrist Romney. Maybe in Tulsa Land. You're full of funny stuff today.

I was hopeful that McCain's nomination meant the Republicans were moving back to towards the center.  But this VP selection tells us the Republicans are still following the agenda of the radical religious right.

How can you go from not wanting to be an American to wanting to be the U.S. Vice President?
