I am posting this to elicit your feedback. Thanks.

What is the Alaskan Independence Party and what does it advocate really ?

Old news.

[svcw]

Old news and hashed over and over...........in my opinion so what?

[FlingWingFlyer]

We’ve already put this fire out. It’s just more moose nuggets the Obamanoids.

[Tax-chick]

Some members of the party have advocated secession from the United States, though that is not a goal listed in the party's platform.

Big FReepin' deal. I used to have a t-shirt with the Texas flag that said "Secede!" Only they didn't, and then I moved.

Is this supposed to be a bad thing? We need a vice president to reaffirm the sovereignty of the states after decades of federal centralization.

Old News.

Maybe you can do a google search or two and see that this party was actually used by dissident Republicans to run candidates against RINO GOP Nominees. A former Republican won the governorship under the Alaska Independence banner, and then promptly switched back to Republican after winning.

who cares....I was for Wallace back when I was very young...then McGovern within 4 yrs....that just makes me young, and undecided .....

besides, If I lived in the great state of Alaska, I wouldn't want to be part of some of the US....totally different attitude about life up there.....

[cripplecreek]

Who really cares?

[Joe Boucher]

I don’t blame him.
I’m a Floridian and I’d like to break away. Put up a wall and keep you all northerners from moving here and messing up my state.
Charge ya all to come soak up my sun here.
Hell yeah.
Course we have to get a wall for the Florida Straits too, keep the cubans from invading too.
I gotta believe the folks that have been there forever are a bit tired of us all going up to see Alaska too.

[EQAndyBuzz]

It’s MSNBC. I take no stock in anything they say or do.

[ilgipper]

So....the spouse’s past matters for the GOP, but for the Top of the Dem party ticket himself, his past stances, current and past associates, decision making failures, poor judgment and bad positions as a Senator are WAY off limits. I see.

[EagleUSA]

Useless trivia beaten to death by the painfully and disgusting liberal PMSNBC who cannot draw a meaningful breath relative to the DimoRAT putrid ticket.....

Not even a good try. What a waste of media time.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

PMSNBC, CNN, NBC, ABC & CBS are all looking for dirt and they've not been able to find any. That, of course, won't preclude them from making up a story, ala Dan Rather. As Rather's BS drove the Republicans to the polls in 2004, all of this that the networks are doing will do the same and then some!

[tioga]

Sarah has been a Republican for years. So what if her husband is an independent. I can't believe they are still trying to make an issue of this.

[gorush]

Any true conservative would want to reclaim states rights. Mere Republicans want to elect John McCain.

[no_go_lie]

Don’t know and couldn’t care less. This has no relevance. Those MSM dirt diggers in Alaska must justify their paychecks and are now rehashing old news because they can’t find anything.

MSLSD/PMSNBC:

Who cares?

[gidget7]

If it is for states rights, who cares, so are most of us!!
