True.  They are in denial to being used and abused like too bit whores voting for this jerkoff.

Seems to me that the Palins, 333 and a few other people clearly don't love America so why don't you guys pack up and leave

I'm sure you'll come back and tell me you love America and hate the administration but then what do you think the dumbasses who made and wear that shirt were talking about?

We can certainly have a difference of opinion (especially since we don't know her).  I see her coming across as pretty damn genuine and loving the traditions that made this country great, however ill prepared she was for the VP position in 2008.

Politicians shouldn't be afraid to wear shirts like that.  We have to start being more patriotic in this country.  I'm sick of seeing immigrants coming here and refusing to assimilate, expecting us to accomodate their customs, traditions, laws and language.  If they want to come to the U.S than appreciate it, be a part of it, contribute, love it, call yourself an American....or get the f-ck out.

What's dumb is thinking that's a pro-America shirt.
That shirt is a "anti everyone who disagrees with me" shirt
come on 333 - you knew that already.
The weird part is why anyone who portrays themself as a politician would wear a shirt which basically says if you don't agree with them that you're anti-American.   Palin is wearing that shirt because she is a fringe person who needs divisiveness to appeal the small group of retards that find her so appealing

33,

Can a man who spent almost a decade as a member of a party whose chief belief is "We shall separate from the USA" really love America?

Can a governor who speaks at separist event in 2006 and attends their separist event in 94 (and God knows what in between) REALLY love America?

My guess is that the "I love USA" T-shirts are her and hubby trying a little too hard to convince people.  personally, I loev this country, as do most of the people I know.  We don't need t-shirts to announce that.  Reminds me of the guy in the locker room bragging about how much he gets laid, and how much he hates gay people - you know what he's usually hiding.  My thought is that given their 12+ years in supporting the separist party, the t-shirts we see today are designed to fool us.  Sorry.

240 - you have zero credibility on this since you did everything possible to defend Obama for spending 20 years in Rev. rights church and his friendship with domestic terrorists.  As far as the independence party, are you screaming about perrty in TX, the gov of montana and others?  No you are not.

Members of 'Fringe' Alaskan Independence Party Incorrectly Say Palin Was a Member in 90s; McCain Camp and Alaska Division of Elections Deny Charge*
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 and her husband were once 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 State.

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."

After refraining from commenting on the charge for a day, the McCain campaign on Tuesday asserted that Palin was never a member of the AIP, and

Lynette Clark, the chairman of the AIP, told ABC News on Monday 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.

This, it should be noted, does not square with official records.

Gail Fenumiai, director of the Alaska Division of Elections, tells ABC News that regardless of the impression given to members of the Alaskan Independence Party, "Gov. Sarah Palin first registered to vote in the state in May 1982 as a Republican, and she has not changed her party affiliate with the Division of Elections since that time."

Clark on Tuesday night said that she had been mistaken.

But for whatever reason, Clark thought that in 1994 Palin was a kindred spirit.

"We are a state's rights party," says Clark, a self-employed goldminer. The AIP has "a plank that challenges the legality of the Alaskan statehood vote as illegal and in violation of United Nations charter and international law."

She says it's not accurate to describe the party as secessionist -- they just want a vote, she says, adding that the members of the AIP hold different opinions on what Alaska should be.

"My own separate opinion as an individual is that we should be an independent nation," Clark says. Others in the AIP "believe that being a commonwealth would be a good avenue to follow." Some advocate statehood -- but a fuller statehood than exists now.

She doesn't know what Palin's position was.

"It never came up in conversation," Clark recalls. "But ...our platform was right under her nose."

Earlier this year, Palin sent a video message to the AIP for its annual convention, where AIP vice chair George Clark told the small crowd that Palin "was an AIP member before she got the job as a mayor of a small town –- that was a non-partisan job.  But you get along to go along -– she eventually joined the Republican Party, where she had all kinds of problems with their ethics, and well, I won’t go into that.  She also had about an 80 percent approval rating, and is pretty well sympathetic to her former membership."

A day after ABC News requested a response from Palin as to whether she was ever a member of the AIP, McCain campain spox Brian Rogers told ABC News that Clark's "allegations are false."

"Governor Palin has been a registered Republican since 1982," Rogers says, providing voter registration documentation showing her to be a Republican. "As you know, if she changed her registration, there would have been some record of it. There isn’t."  

Rogers says that Palin didn’t attend the AIP convention in 1994, "but she visited them when they had their convention in Wasilla in 2000 as a courtesy since she was mayor."

When asked if Palin ever identified herself as a member of the AIP, Rogers said, "No, she's a lifelong Republican."

The AIP platform states that the purpose of the party is  to "seek the complete repatriation of the public lands, held by the federal government, to the state and people of Alaska in conformance with Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17, of the federal constitution ... To prohibit all bureaucratic regulations and judicial rulings purporting to have the effect of law, except that which shall be approved by the elected legislature ... To support the privatization of government services ...”

Walter Hickel, a former Republican governor, was elected to the governorship in 1990 as an AIP member -- the third-largest party in Alaska -- with a plurality vote of 38.8%. A Seattle Post-Intelligencer story that year said that "Hickel is running with the Alaska Independence Party, a fringe group advocating that the 49th state declare itself a sovereign nation. But he's not a separatist; he's an opportunist: the Independence Party was the only 11th-hour ticket to the general election."

Hickel returned to the Republican Party in 1994; he endorsed Palin in her gubernatorial run in 2006. Subsequent AIP gubernatorial candidates did not fare as well as did Hickel, garnering less than 2 percent of the vote.

Lynette Clark says that Palin is "a fine individual. She's forthright and she puts Alaska first."

She is not a fan of McCain.

"I can't understand why in God's name she has aligned herself with a candidate who opposes the development of our republic and Alaska's resource wealth," Clark says.

Fenumiai returned several calls for comment. And then, once again, after Clark rescinded her assertion that Gov. Palin had been a member of the AIP.

The AIP platform states that the purpose of the party is  to "seek the complete repatriation of the public lands, held by the federal government, to the state and people of Alaska in conformance with Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17, of the federal constitution ... To prohibit all bureaucratic regulations and judicial rulings purporting to have the effect of law, except that which shall be approved by the elected legislature ... To support the privatization of government services ...”

Walter Hickel, a former Republican governor, was elected to the governorship in 1990 as an AIP member -- the third-largest party in Alaska -- with a plurality vote of 38.8%. A Seattle Post-Intelligencer story that year said that "Hickel is running with the Alaska Independence Party, a fringe group advocating that the 49th state declare itself a sovereign nation. But he's not a separatist; he's an opportunist: the Independence Party was the only 11th-hour ticket to the general election."

Hickel returned to the Republican Party in 1994; he endorsed Palin in her gubernatorial run in 2006. Subsequent AIP gubernatorial candidates did not fare as well as did Hickel, garnering less than 2 percent of the vote.

Lynette Clark says that Palin is "a fine individual. She's forthright and she puts Alaska first."

She is not a fan of McCain.

"I can't understand why in God's name she has aligned herself with a candidate who opposes the development of our republic and Alaska's resource wealth," Clark says.

* This post has been updated one day later, after the McCain campaign responded, and again after
Fenumiai returned several calls for comment. And then, once again, after Clark rescinded her assertion that Gov. Palin had been a member of the AIP.


That video of Palin was from 2008

33,

TODD was registered with AIP from 1994 until 2001.  Look it up.

As an adult, he changed parties, then drove hundreds of miles (with her) in 94 to attend a separist meeting.  Are you denying this?

Are you denying 240's allegations, ...or simply avoiding 240's question?

No, But that was ont the only plank of the party.   Her husband has never been a really a hugely political person. 

But again Jag, unless you have an equal problem with obama and michelle in Rev, Wrights church for 20 years and friendship with Bill Ayeres and Rashidi, your complaints against the palins are empty. 

They are not even remotely the same either. 

BYT - Obama was a member of the socialist party at one time.

yep - I even read the highlighted quote where the unnamed McCain party spokeshole issued the standard denial (I wonder if it was the same person who later called Palin a pathological liar)

here's the part they were denying (also in the article)

Lynette Clark, the chairman of the AIP, told ABC News on Monday 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.

"It never came up in conversation," Clark recalls. "But ...our platform was right under her nose."  

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."


The AIP platform states that the purpose of the party is  to "seek the complete repatriation of the public lands, held by the federal government, to the state and people of Alaska in conformance with Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17, of the federal constitution ... To prohibit all bureaucratic regulations and judicial rulings purporting to have the effect of law, except that which shall be approved by the elected legislature ... To support the privatization of government services ...”

look 33, your article was about sarah - I am talking about 'first dude' todd.

When you say "Her husband has never been a really a hugely political person".... You gotta be shitting me.  He intentionally left his own party and joined a fringe separist group.  That's a pretty huge statement right there.  how many people flippantly leave their party to join parties dedicated to LEAVING AMERICA?

I like many of palin's positions, but don't think she's presidential caliber.  I think she's a great face for a dept of energy under the thune admin, with a phd under her doing the technical work and her giving lots of gung-ho energy speeches.  So I'm not shitting on her here.

I'm pointing out her hubby - who was admittedly involved with many things in her office - spent 7 years REGISTERED, VOTING and ATTENTING a group that basically didn't love this country.  It's that simple.  Just admit, that party is anti-american and her man showed up 7 years for them :(

Straw, you may disagree with 333 and not like Palin but I have no doubt they wish the best for this country and love this country and it's history more than most far left liberals.

What makes you think that?

Isn't it just that different people have different ideas for what is "best" for their respective country?

I dont have his voting record in front of me.

As far as being registered for the party, sure it does not reflect well on him, but is anyone really proud to be a dem or repub right now either?  

If crap 7 tax, this health care leviathon, amnesty for illegals, a VAT tax, and other communist shit from Maobama go through, I will think about joinging a group like that myself since we will no longer be america anyway.  .

Wrong.  There are certain things that are simply not in that category.  I am so tired of that line of shit.  Being buddies with domestic terrorists who bombed the pentagon, in a racist hate church for 20 years, trying to sell our country down the river on a platform of "no communist idea left behind" is simply not whats best for this country.

What's up with this "Obama is a communist" dogma?

Is it "if we call him a communist enough times, people will start to believe he is, regardless of what is the truth"?

What domestic terrorists that bombed the pentagon is Obama buddies with BTW?

its cool you admit it doesnt reflect well on him.  This was 94 thru 2001.  And either Dem or Repub is better than the "leae the country party"

This thread isn't about obama. You started it about why you adore the Palins.
The socialist party wasn't looking to break up the USA.

If you are neither denying his allegations, nor avoiding the question, why won't you answer it instead of dodging and looking to deflect the issue?
