Do you believe that the chairman of the Alaska Independence Party is lying about Sarah Palin's membership?

Question

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."

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.

"Supporters of Barack Obama are engaged in an unfortunate and nasty smear campaign," McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said, specifically citing issues related to Palin’s politics.

Answer 1

No george C......... He said Kids are OFF limits......

And so just like the rush limbaughs and the hannity's, O'reillys, I'm going to contine to do what THEY do..... If that pregnant underage child had of been BLACK, none of you McCain supporters would have been so lenient.  

So .............. As Asbassador Peck (who is a White Man) but Pastor Jeremiah Wright quoted him and got inihilated because Peck quoted Malcolm X, and Jeremiah Wright quoted Peck, so NOW I'm going to quote all of them..... McCains Supporters chickens are coming home to roost.

Palin wants to talk tough, especially about abstinence, well why was she NOT talking to her children...... Y did that poor girl have to sit there all day the day she was announced and have a blanket thrown across her shoulders and cater to her "baby Brother" all during the speech.

What type of mother does that to her own child?, why was she so ashamed of it during her being chosen as a VP? why didn't she decline?  Her daughter looked so sad, hurt and she had to sit there all day holding on to that baby to hide the fact that she was pregnant to america.

You neocons want to jump on the bandwagon against Obama, we're going to milk this for all its worth.

Whats good for the goose is good for the gander.

Answer 2

Didn't your boss tell eveyone to "Stop the smears"?

Answer 3

This isn't a smear or a lie, Mel, this is the truth.  

Answer 4

I have seen so many slanderous lies & false rumors spread about Palin that I will, at least for now, take pretty much every thing I hear as part of a smear campaign.

If this particualr story truns out to be true, I want her OUT.

But pardon me if I don't swallow it right off the bat!

Answer 5

that is a smear and devoid of hard evidence. this huge sarah palin smear campaign will backfire in a few days. you will just fire up sarah palin's admirerers. you will see.

Answer 6

It can't be proven either way since their records don't go back that far so it's a non-issue as far as I'm concerned.  We have to deal with concrete facts when evaluating her fitness not rumors and conjecture.

Answer 7

Im not even close to a republican, but even if she has only been a republican for a decade, thats quite a bit longer than Obama has been in his own party. This is a non-issue, since when you use a common point of reference it actually makes Obama look bad. Where was he when this was going on? I dont have anything against Obama, Im fine if either of them get elected, but when you smear either side, at least use reasonable attacks, like how McCain was involved in a multi-billion dollar scam back in the 80's.

Just think like this, Next time you feel like smearing someone, sit back and remember the 3 complete retards that ran in the last two elections, then maybe youll realize how good these candidates really are. If you Compared to Bush, Kerry, and Gore, these guys are saints.
