Palin's Connection to Alaska Independence Party Raises Concern

How can someone like Sarah Palin, who could possibly be in line to become President of the United States, have once been a member of a group that advocates secession from the United States? Is it even legal for her to be on the ticket?

As President, you are supposed to pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, not the flag of Alaska.

People jumped all over Sen. Barack Obama for not wearing a flag pin, and questioned his patriotism. What about a potential president who was once a member of a group that wants to vote on removing itself from the United States, with some members openly taking the position that the United States is an illegal occupier?

If she subscribes to the group's motto "Alaska First," what does that mean as far as domestic policy decisions that would come out of a Palin administration?

I found this on Youtube.com. It is Palin addressing the Alaska Independence Party's 2008 Convention. I'm surprised I haven't seen this yet on your blog.

I have such a hard time believing this woman was ever thoroughly vetted. I mean, I know first graders that can find this stuff out, yet we (Americans) are being led to believe that this woman is fit to serve our country a heartbeat away from the most important job in the free world! I find it sickening.

When asking about the role of VP, could that be why she inquired how it would be good for Alaska?
I feel sad and disgusted by the Republican party and how people seem to turn a blind eye to all their hypocrisy. They and their minions can keep a straight face while lying incessantly. Wow! We should have a new motto in America...­Down with Dumb!!! Down with Dumb!!!

Hmmm, could it be that she was picked to say to the women, especially Hillary supporters "Hey, ya all wanted a woman, we'll give ya a woman - a gun totin', bible-thumpin' creatinist, secessionist babe that'll make ya not want a woman ever again! That'll teach you ladies to not step out of your assigned role and be more like my dutiful wife Cindy" who inherited her millions from daddy.

Just like Latino Gonzales, Black Condi Rice, Colin Powell, Harriet Meyers, and the other token figureheads in the Bush administration who were all picked because of the race or gender role they filled and because they were in blind agreement with whatever Rove and Cheney really wanted (the two true closet leaders/ decision makers for the last 8 years) they figured they get another character as Sarah Palin and throw it in the faces of the Democrats saying - hey, we are not sexist or racist - look at our team. Meanwhille all these goons want is the free reign to further rape and pillage the finances of our government for their own personal enrichment ala KVR, Blackwater, and the numerous other "private contractors" run and owned by a handfull of Republicans.

The more we learn about Palin, it seems, the less we knew.
