Would this make Palin unpatriotic?

Question

Talk about unpatriotic, what does everyone think about Palin being part of that group that wanted Alaska to be independent from the US? If this shoe was on the other foot, the Repubs would be calling her anti-American, a traitor, etc. (which I think is true), but the McCain campaign and the right-wingers have been totally silent on this issue. Up until 1996, she was a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, whose main goal was for Alaska to break off as its own country.

Answer 1

Chris Matthews (no conservative) reported tonight that this rumor printed by the NYT is false. He didn't look to happy about having to say it but he did.

Answer 2

Well maybe a little unpatriotic, kind of like being a little pregnant.  There are a whole host of questions about Sarah Palin that John McCain obviously neglected to investigate.  What I really question is McCain's judgement in choosing his VP. Obviously he was pandering to the conservative right and, you know, it worked.  His contributions are up.  Yea! for exciting the base enough to let loose with some dough. Mission accomplished, John.  

Answer 3

Republicans are known for their hypocrisy always.

Answer 4

Duh!

That was during the Clinton years!

When Billary was in power in the frat house.

She was probably just trying to separate herself and her state from a Hillbilly hog as her president.

Answer 5

There is several area's in this country that should break off..as the rest of the country is holding them back

I think the US is a weak federation of states and that eventually we very well may see three or four divisions of the *UNITED STATES*

Answer 6

Nah... -Just very "Alaskan..." And THAT's part of Her "Problem..." Because Alaska "politics" are VERY DIFFERENT from those down here in the States...  :)

Answer 7

Republicans are willing to look past all manner of self-serving anti-Americanism. Just as long as you oppose abortion and you help the McCain campaign.

Answer 8

yes, she is unpatriotic and a hypocrite  

Answer 9

I say = DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT HER ON THE ARSSS ON THE WAY OUT !

Answer 10

I don't know.  Honestly.  But could it be she changed her mind somewhere along the way?  I have made some huge decisions in my life and changed my mind later so let's find out for sure what she thinks now.

Answer 11

I'm not sure about this yet.  Only because this story hasn't seemed to break yet in all the media outlets.  I can't tell if it is true, or what.

Answer 12

Another internet rumor. Republicans have evidence to the contrary. Wait for it to all come out before you jump on her. Innocent until proven guilty in America. Right?

Answer 13

Another smear bites the dust.  That story is not true.

Answer 14

can I be the Grand Boobah of Texas?

Answer 15

I agree completely.

Answer 16

No,it just makes her smart.

Answer 17

was Obama voting for English not to be Americas language unpatriotic?

or was Obama wanting to take out "God Bless America" in the National Anthem unpatriotic?

Answer 18

She was never a part of that group

That lie has already been debunked.

She registered with the GOP in 1982 and never changed party affiliation.
