Members of ‘Fringe’ Alaskan Independence Party Say Palin Was a Member in 90s
September 01, 2008 6:52 PM
…Officials of the Alaskan Independence Party say that Palin was once so independent, she was once a member of their party…
…Lynette Clark, the chairman of the AIP, tells ABC News that Palin and her husband Todd were members in 1994, even attending the 1994 statewide convention in Wasilla. Clark was AIP secretary at the time.
“We are a state’s rights party,” says Clark, a self-employed goldminer…
I’m beginning to believe that John McCain just decided to place a whoopee cushion under everyone in the United States. That makes as much sense as anything else.
Pat Buchanan was talking about the Palins supporting him in 1996. We found that she supported him in 1999 as well.
Wonder if she supported Perot in 1992 or Bush.
nomination as part of a movie, Hollywood would have turned it down as unbelievable.
According to Marc Ambinder’s reportingabout the the AIP’s Vice Chairman, Dexter Carter:
as far as I have seen (OK, I don’t have cable), I bet that only the liberal blogosphere knows most of this stuff.
On CBS a few minutes ago, a McCain campaign worker was on, attributing the need to go public with the Palin daughter’s pregnancy to the fact that the “Democratic” blogs had been driving the hateful rumours; she further noted that the Democratic blogs were a serious problem that the Democratic party was going to have to address–Obama’s forcefully expressed disavowal of these rumours was treated as insignificant. Couric nodded and said nothing.
When asked to respond to Couric’s question about Palin’s experience and credentials, she noted that she (the staffer) had worked for Jeb Bush and knew that being govenor was excellent training for a vice-president. They noted that Palin had “taken on the oil-companies, etc. etc.–all with no pushback from Couric.
One of the reasons that there are still people out there that think that there were WMDs in Iraq is the the fact that so much of the media is complicit with the Republican agenda. In a world where information can be bottle-necked and alternative sources can be demonized, what difference does reality make?
