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 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."

did you read the comments following the article? Some very funny stuff, just a few to give you a taste.. One clown is claiming that all of this nonsense is just a massive Rovian plot and that Palin will step aside soon thus allowing the GOP to paint the Dems as sexist. Somebody else was convinced that Palin coming out now and saying that her 17 year old daughter is 5 months pregnant and couldn’t possibly be the Trig’s mom because he was born 4 months ago is just a smoke screen in order to hide the truth, that the daughter was actually Trig’s mother and that we should expect to hear soon that the daughter has had a miscarriage. I have NEVER in my life time seen such a complete and total suspension of rational behavior by a group of people, sick sick sick!
Hmmmm, for me it would be if she attended a racist church for 20 years, held close associations with communists, terrorists, and other anti-american groups, blackmailed her political opponents so they dropped out of the race, and claimed that her candidacy could stop the rising oceans. Yeah, that would pretty much do it.
Now that you mention it, the bear does kinda resemble Putin!
Yup - our own Iron Maggie Thatcher
Um, AIP isn’t a fringe party, it’s a Conservative party. Wally Hickel was elected under its banner in 1990 after years of watching the GOP put up ineffectual candidates that lost to Democrats.
after that, they will have to deal with Saracuda chewing on their azz!!!
>> These people make me sick!!
These people make me SMILE.
Palin dominates the news cycle 24/7, with “scandals” that won’t affect her electability except among moonbats that would die before they vote for her anyway.
Haven’t seen a thing so far to indicates she’s anything but the strong, decent character we saw on Friday.
Meanwhile, obama is relegated to a whisper now and again.
Have faith. The silent majority is neither stupid nor amoral.
Well that does it.. I’m voting Thug and Plugs..

Tapper broke a number of stories including then-Governor George W. Bush’s controversial trip to Bob Jones University during the 2002 presidential campaign.
They have, in their possession, the Original Letter written in 1972 by Sarah Heath (Palin's maiden name), expressing a wish for the recipient of the letter, one David Cassidy, to run away with her. She can't get by this one.
According to the story her dad actually shot that bear, but it looks like the acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree.
This isn't a "hit," it's a gnat on the windshield of a freight train.
I'll bet whatver she did, her friends didn't aspire to bomb the pentagon.
A conservative third party is a fringe party by definition, according to the Mainstream Media and their shills.
Awwww give her a break - she was only 8 in 1972.
If true, another plus in my book.
The media ARE the DNC, how true. There has been little about Obama’s close association with unrepentant terrorists. Next the MSM will report that Palin once got a parking ticket and that is the crime of the century.
