""I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions."

[bunnies]

2. Big words coming from a Kansas boy.

[JohnnyBoots]

4. Couple that quote with Palin on CNBC asking what the VP does exactly, but saying whatever the role

is it would would have to benefit Alaskans.... could be a good commercial.

[blondeatlast]

6. Don't you mean secessionist Sarah Palin? That term should precede her name at every opportunity. nt

[patrice]

9. Yes! Yes! AND we should use the verb too, as in " South Oecetia wants to secede from Georgia."

[bunnies]

7. Without a doubt.

Those two things could kill her/their chances. I honestly cant believe this woman was vetted. At ALL. Now about all those attacks on Obamas patriotism....

[izquierdista]

5. At least he left God out of it

He didn't say 'God damn America', that would have been over the top, as we have seen on the new FOX spin-off channel, Rev.WrightTV.

[patrice]

8. "no use" except being the 3rd highest per capita recipient of Federal $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

That's one institution Joe boy LOVES!

[groovedaddy]

10. The quote is not Palin's - what does she have to do with AIP? n.t

[terrya]

12. She was a member of the AIP.

And she spoke to the group while she was Governor.

[Blue Diadem]

13. Apparently she was a member for a few years

in the 1990's.

Members of 'Fringe' Alaskan Independence Party Say Palin Was a Member in 90s
September 01, 2008 6:52 PM

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.

15. If one is a member of a group wouldn't anyone with sense realize they are

a member because they SHARE the same views???????? What a silly question.

[groovedaddy]

16. "Silly question?" - I wanted an attribution for the quote, which the original poster did not

did not provide. It would have been dynamite if SHE had said it. The original post also did not mention the fact that she was a member of this group. The poster ASSUMED the reader was already aware of this.

[AuntPatsy]

18. Here you go.....information from a very long time member...

[groovedaddy]

19. Thanks. Many repubs border on these types of views any way...they're whacked! n.t

[AuntPatsy]

22. I thought that was kind of interesting..he seemed a bit suprised himself..

small world, what I find interesting is that his sister has not talked to him in two years? It seems they were fairly close, and he seems like a great guy, why would a sister refuse to talk to you simply based on your politics? Its what his story made me believe is the reason and for that, I find this group a bit whacked as you would say..

24. She makes a clear AIP statement in the VP Duties interview - here

Quote
But as for that VP talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does everyday? I’m used to being very productive and working real hard in an administration. "WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE VP SLOT IS A FRUITFUL POSITION FOR ALASKA, ESPECIALLY FOR ALASKANS AND FOR THE THE THINGS WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE...

[helderheid]

11. COUNTRY FIRST!!!!

:rofl:

[RichGirl]

14. They did the...

...Evelyn Wood vetting program. The saw she was part of an Independent group and thought they hit pay dirt. Not only will she get the support of every Hillary supporter, but all of Ron Pauls too!

[Blue_Tires]

17. i hope the folks who kept Rev. Wright in the news for 8 weeks

do the same here....

[Mme. Defarge]

23. Amen!

20. Her comment on the VP duties interview suggests she'll use VP slot the achieve AK independence

so she's going to use her VP slot to push for Alaskan independence after she's fulfilled her list of earmarks?
