Throw the AIP BOMB into Sarah Palin's corner and watch her scatter

[zulchzulu]

Country First, my ass. Let's play ball, Sarah. This also brings in her white trash hubby, Todd, who was a member of the Alaskan Independence Party (AIP) from October 1995 through July 2002.

Sarah Palin and the Alaska Independence Party. Palin addresses AIP convention:

"Dexter Clark, husband of Lynette and a vice chairman of the Alaska Independence Party, said that when his wife told reporters that Palin had been an AIP member she was "acting on information from Mark Chryson," the party's regional chair for Wasilla, Palin's hometown. The 1994 convention was held in Wasilla, where Palin was a city councilmember at the time. Chryson "has repeatedly said to me personally and my wife, Lynette, and groups of party members at large, that at that 1994 convention, Sarah and Todd Palin attended and registered as members," Dexter Clark told Mother Jones.

AIP Vice Chairman of the AIP, Dexter Clark reveals that:

“Our current governor who I mentioned at the last conference, the one we were hoping would get elected, Sarah Palin, did get elected . . . .and there was a lot of talk about her moving up. She was an AIP member before she got the job as mayor . . .”

The Alaskan Independence Party stance is:

• A belief that “the vote for statehood was invalid because the people were not presented with the range of options available to them” and that “the federal government has since breached the contract for statehood on numerous occasions in over a dozen serious and substantial instances.”
  
• A belief that there should be a vote on Alaskan succession.
  
• Remaining “steadfastly opposed to environmental regulations and actively promotes the private ownership and widespread development of Alaskan land.”
  
• A platform which includes:
  
  • Amending the Constitution of the State of Alaska so as to re-establish the rights of all Alaskan residents to entry upon all public lands within the state, and to acquire private property interest there in, under fair and reasonable conditions. Such property interest shall include surface and sub-surface patent.
    
  • Foster a constitutional amendment abolishing and prohibiting all property taxes.
    
  • Seeking the complete repatriation of the public lands, held by the federal government, to the state and people of Alaska.

3. Do a double whammy with Todd and Troopergate AND the AIP today

It would rip the already debunked Ayers story off the headlines and pour heavy water on the witch.

4. "A belief that there should be a vote on Alaskan succession."

Fail.

5. Sarah Failin' can't handle a press conference to answer for her AIP links

Mat-Su Valley English even...

[casus belli]

6. I can't help but wondering...is this their "October Surprise?"

Because if this is all they've got on Obama, they are truly "screwn". Something that has already been thrown out for the public to chew on and been twice refeused? And you just know that we're sitting on something catastrophic for McCain and/or Palin. I can't wait for them to bring it out.

7. "can there be a greater traitor than those who would take a star off of our beautiful flag?"

I wish this would run as an ad.

8. Dubious associations? How about starting with FIRST DUDE
