From 1995 to 2002 Todd Palin husband of She who would be the next vice president was a card carrying member of the Anti-American Alaskan Independence Party. The smoking gun came in registration records supplied by the Alaska Division of Elections.
This same woman who wants to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency told the separatist group “Keep up the good work,” in a videotaped speech to their convention six months ago in Fairbanks. She wished the party luck on what she called its “inspiring convention.
What was Senator McCain thinking when he selected Sarah Palin? “Which country first” one might ask considering the radical political ties of Governor Palin’s husband Todd, the United States or the independent Republic of Alaska?
The GOP wants to talk about patriotism and character; I’d like the Governor of Alaska to clarify her position on loyalty to the constitution of the United States.
At what point do we begin to ask questions about the Governors judgment in addressing a group of neo-radicals who preach what amounts to sedition. McCain surrogates have set the bar high for Governor Palin’s acceptance speech. We are assured all of America will fall in love with Sarah Palin the hockey Mom and spunky outsider who single handedly took on the corrupt Alaskan republican power structure and has reformed it top to bottom
For those of us who live in the real world It becomes evident with every passing day, Senator McCain dropped the ball in the Palin vetting process and try as they might to redirect the topic to her skills as moose hunter and Mayor, I speculate the GOP for all the glitz and hype will leave the convention a party unified but saddled with a veep who’s views, behavior and actions raise serious questions with a great many undecided voters.

I agree with you boroman…… I am ready for an average person, and I feel after watching tonights speeches that Palin did great. I look forward to her and Biden meeting for a live chat..
I stand by the records of the State of Alaska division of elections, As to my view the group is anti-American I refer you to the rantings of its founder and its official positions and agenda which can foundd with a simple google search
P.S. Burton
You can “stand by” anything you want, but the fact remains it is a made up story.
So some posters think that official voting records issued by the state of Alaska are fake?
The videotape of her speaking at the A.I.P. is fake also?
There is even more to come with her…
And how can a party that is turning out to be the Christian Conservative party, praise a man whose wealth comes from beer money (isn’t drinking shunned for most of them and I would think profitting from it should be) and praising that a 16 year girl is pregnant and getting married and she is to be praised???
I don’t recall republicans praising jamie lynn spears months ago when it came out that she was pregnant and getting married.
And know there is allegations of an affair that she had…more of her family values?
And for the posters that said they like that she is average, what are you thinking? I do not want a hockey mom as the VP, I want someone that has an understanding of the complex issues that she will face or at least knows what the duties of VP consist of (which she didn’t as of 2 1/2 weeks ago). My 11 year old knew that the VP presided over the Senate, and she didn’t…that horrifies me.
Since when is dissent un-American?
Did you psburton look into the issues as to why did party came about in the first place? my guess is you know next to nothing about the party but decided to sling the arrow anyway.What the media fails to realize is that we the people know Governor Palin is far from perfect,but we can all relate to her home life situation and admire how she has responded and dealt with those problems.
I forgot to mention that I have seen various bits here and there that the A.I.P. sympathized with Timothy McVeigh a known and convicted terriost…I think her patriotism should be questioned along with her husbands. Let’s not forget how Michelle Obama has had hers questioned for months. I think we should be just as concerned about hers and her husbands.
If the voting records for the state of Alaska are fake, then I think that the Gov. has some questions to answer.
beantrader,
Dissent is not considered to be putting your country first. As I recall, there were a lot of sign waving at the GOP that read
“Country First”
It seems very unpatriotic, and this election seems to be questioning people’s patriotism quite a bit.
So a dem can say that she is proud for the first time in a long time and that is a bad thing, but if a rep. wanting to be your own country is acceptable?
Please clarify the rules, I must be missing something…
get off her daughter being pregnant
first of all she is 17, nobody said she should be “praised” for getting pregnant, if she had been a democrat she could have just aborted it and noone would have been the wiser, this has nothing to do with Gov Palin you can be the best parent in the world and your child still might have sex when you are not around
and by the way, do you think obama’s mother was wrong in having him? she was only 18 and not married when she got knocked up. just sayin’
No much of a political person – but I feel the only reason John McCain picked Governor Palin was to recruit Sen. Hillary Clinton’s female voters. The only way it would have been a sincere decision in my eyes would be if John McCain had decided on Sarah Palin before the primarys and the whole Clinton/Obama shindig – another example of sensationalism – in politics – who knew??
Beantrader, you will be delighted to learn in my opinion DISSENT is not A RIGHT its a RESPONSIBILITY.
I think you confuse dissent with the vile and UN-American movement of SECESSIONISM.
What hypocrisy!
First of all, many people wanted to crucify Obama for having acquaintance with William Ayers who’s anti-establishment activities occurred when Obama was 8 years old. They wanted to proclaim that Rev. Wright’s inflammatory words were in fact Obama’s. I guess that makes the Catholic religion a cult of homosexual child predators because of the widespread underground criminal behavior of more than a few Catholic priests. Both of Obama’s so-called affiliations are tenuous at best relative to whether he espoused the same views. But it is the choice of the flailing conservative movement to emphasize these relationships while maintaining a double standard when it comes to their new cheerleader, Sarah Palin.
Using the strength-of-connection argument, they lose. It seems that given their supporters’ blind inability to evaluate information independently, they suggest there is NO POSSIBLE CONNECTION between Todd Palin and the political ideology espoused by the Anti American Alaskan Independence Party of which he was a card carrying member. How can that be?
Further, it is even more ludicrous to think it impossible for Sarah Palin to harbor the same ideology as her husband. She is married to him and allegedly has five children for him. It doesn’t seem so far-fetched unless one is unwilling to question the republican party. It will all come out soon and then everyone will see why the republicans are trying desperately to convince us of their “country first” credibility.
Families should be off limits.
Sarah Palin’s pregnant teenage unmarried daughter is of no concern to me. Sarah Palin’s incredible lack of relevant experience is. If she were submitting her resume for Chief Executive of a Fortune 500 corporation, I doubt the fact that she has mothered five children would be perceived as experience that significantly bolsters the strength of her credentials.
It is no surprise that America can be influenced to participate in this ridiculous conversation. For so long Average Americans have been excluded from politics by an administration that illegally wages war, pretends the economy is healthy, fails to respond to natural disasters, leaves every child behind, rewards companies for eliminating jobs, and has erased a massive surplus. We are the same society that became obsessed with who fathered Anna Nicole Smith’s baby. Americans are easily manipulated with foolishness and massive amounts of useless information about Jerry Springer nuggets from society’s landfill.
For many of us it does feel sort of good to think that an average person could influence America and help repair the damage that has been caused over the last eight years. However, we already have one person on the republican ticket who doesn’t understand the economy and obviously doesn’t understand the middle east. It is a long shot to think that Sarah Palin, or anybody for that matter, has the capacity to comprehend the complexity of current foreign affairs, the mortgage crisis, the environmental crisis, the health care crisis, the financial market crisis, the poverty crisis, and the mortgage crisis. And then there’s the complicated details surrounding the ill-conceived, poorly-planned, unsuccessful Iraq war and McCain’s over-simplified policy that “We will never surrender” in Iraq.
Americans need to wake up, discontinue having such staunch blind loyalty to a political party and politicians that have so decimated the country, and ask themselves one simple question…
Are we better off than we were eight years ago?
AIP’s founder, Joe Vogler, told an interviewer in 1991: “The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government. … And I won’t be buried under their damn flag.”
Sarah Palin said in her speech that Todd is still his man after 20 years. Todd is a member of a secessionist political party in Alaska. It means Alaska first not country first as what the the gop slogan says.
Sarah Palin and her husband are liars, crooks and bullies. The ‘lower 48’ is struck by her good looks, so what? She is a moron with Q-cards. Her legacy up here (Alaska) is buying her so-often-quoted approval rating at $1200 per head. Many of us hate her, she certainly does NOT have an 80% approval rating up here. She is nothing more than an ex beauty pageant, Exxon whore opportunist who seizes windows of opportunity and throws everyone under the bus. Don’t be fooled, it’s not even HER who is the governer up here, it’s her bad ass bully husband Todd, who uses threats and intimidation to clear a path. She is guilty on so many levels of abusing her power and she’s a heartless gun toting, wolf slaughtering (by airplane), vindictive, animal torturing FREAK who’ll push women’s rights back a century.
Sure, she’s pretty and she can wink at the camera and talk like a hillbilly, and in the end if America falls for this bullshit, it’ll be a sad day. She has no interest in the VP position, it’s the big seat she wants and America couldn’t make a worse choice. Academically, she’s as dumb as a box of rocks but she has the quick instincts of a ego maniacal opportunist. McCain hammered the nail in his own coffin by putting her on his ticket. An ‘accident’ will befall him in his first year if they get in the white house, watch and see. She’s a predator through and through.
The problem with all of this Palin-bashing is a fundamental misunderstanding of what it’s like to live in a state like Alaska, the Dakotas, Montana, and the like.
Thinly populated, and dependent either on pure self-preservation or Washington largesse, the populations are often polarized into two big camps: Rugged individualists who are self-reliant and resent authority, or State socialists who wouldn’t be able to stay if it weren’t for the support of the taxpayers both of the state and the US.
This means, in their little playgrounds, that often wide variations occur in their parochial politics that results in things like the Independence Party, or the Constitutionalists and the so-called Militia of Montana.
Applying left-coast or East Coast standards to such places just doesn’t work — and at the same time, doesn’t invalidate the fact that there are talented political minds in such places.
Try taking a trip to one of these places some time. You’ll find that the people, as a whole, are wonderful, down to earth, and want exactly what everyone else does — good education, reasonable taxation, liberty, and effective public services.
Yeah, they have different ways of getting there, but that’s what they all want, just the same, both Right and Left.
Until you do, please, STFU about things you just don’t understand. Kthx.

I am so tired of the morons who don’t know facts from a fart, hypocrisy from hyperdermic needles and stupidity from their small town, hillbilly sensibilities. For Gods sake, this is not evolution where you can confuse 4 billion year old rock for 6,500 year old granite. Todd Palin is a secessionist. A traitor. A radical. Get used to it.
STFU Sounds like good advice.

Is it customary to give a man more than three strikes?
To, dissent, or even seceed, is a mandate given by the forefarters, when we as a people feel the government has outgrown its intent.
They gave us the second ammendment for just this cause, and the time is very, very near.
As of weeks ago, we are now more socialist than China, with the “economic bailout” our government just grabbed huge new powers for itsself, at your expense.
Aren’t you angery?
NO? Then may I suggest you are stupid!
The very same people who scorn the Alaskan people for this movement, think the American Indian should, in fact, be given back his native lands.
Why not, then the Alaskans?
The vote for statehood, was not proper, nor legal.
There are similar movements in several states, Vermont!!!! Yep!
Don,t call someone a traitor who wants better than the U.S. can offer…………..he is probably a patriot. (our own patriots were thought to be traitors too)
America is on a sick and wrong course to demise, every economic decision made by Paulson and Breneke has been totally wrong, and you and I are going to pay for the rest of our lives.
They are dragging us, asleep and careless, into the “new world order”, and you think Todd Palin is a traitor!!!!!!
