This vid was added to YouTube last year and if you’ll hear on it at the 6:26 mark the bit about how Sarah Palin was a member and had to change her party affiliation to get elected.
This is from an AIP (Alaskan Independence Party, a secessionist group that Sarah Palin gave a welcoming speech to this last year, and reportedly was or was not a member)
“Our current governor, we mentioned at the last conference, the one we were hoping would get elected, Sarah Palin, did get elected. There’s a joke, she’s a pretty good looking gal, there’s a joke goes around we’re the coldest state with the hottest governor. (laughter) And there was a lot of talk about her moving up. She was an AIP member before she got the job as a mayor of a small town — that was a non-partisan job. But to get along and 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% approval rating, and is pretty well sympathetic to her former membership.“
Palin is essentially an AIP member who checked “Republican” on the box, according to this guy. He goes on to state he believes that Ron Paul is a Libertarian who puts “Republican” on the checkbox instead of Libertarian.
Think Charlie Gibson will mention this?

Dude, you don’t actually expect us (well, me) to watch a nine minute vid, do you? I mean seriously, that’s like six or seven minutes longer than I listen to the Mrs. at any one clip.
Now, where did I put that bottle of Hooch?

It will be interesting to see it this story has legs. Other stories about a politicians with extremist associations haven’t seemed to in this election.
I’m thinking of course of a certail politician who spent 20 years in the pew of a church where extremist views were spewed out on a weekly basis.
Or maybe I’m thinking of a condidate who had a long association with William Ayers, a terrorist turned radical education professor.
The AIP is hardly as hate-filled and extremist as Ayers, and I’m not talking about Ayers the terrorist of 30 years ago, I’m talking about about the professor sho’s life mission is to infuse K-12 classrooms with class warfare and hatred of America. A certain candidate worked extensively with Ayers on one of his programs, but that story doesn’t have legs.
So if the media is equally lax about looking at candidates, I can’t imagine they will spend much time looking at this.
Personally, I’m tired of the anti-Semite candidate who said “This is a Christian Country, and we need a Christian President.” I’m also tired of a “Maverick” who voted 95% of the time with the current policies (that allowed for no-bid military contracts for friends of the government, warrentless wiretapping, tells us that water boarding isn’t torture, and that we are going to continue to kill our children by sending them into harm’s way in a country that clearly doesn’t want us to be there, and tells us that we are going to be there for 100 years).
I’m tired of politicians kowtowing to the idealistic rantings religious (Christian) right for whom the only way to live life in this country (and to rule the rest of us) is via their narrow interpretation of “What God says.” (interestingly enough, when the Muslims say that there is only one way to live your life and worship god, the Muslims are wrong, but when Christians say the exact same thing, the Christians are right.
This is a polytheist society, founded — not by Christians, but by Deists who believed in a higher authority, but felt that it didn’t really matter at which house of worship you attended or precisely what you believed (so long as it was in a higher authority. That is, those of our founding fathers who actually believed in God, many of them simply did not.

And we in the public get to vote on that politician after having that information made public. 99% of that was made public (about Obama) before he locked up his nomination.
However, if you like McCain as a man and a candidate for president (like I actually do, believe it or not) to think that he chose this person without knowing she wanted to secede from the Union (because that is their primary goal, no need attending if you’re going to back the Federalist line on things) … If McCain chose this person without thinking, this practically shoves this person down the throats of anyone thinking about McCain as someone who could REACH ACROSS THE AISLE…
Because… does ANYONE actually see Palin adopting that strategy, should the opportunity arise?
I Really don’t see what new demographic Palin is supposed to bring in for McCain.
The Real Story is McCain can’t be bothered to do his homework.
Can you think of any other recent presidents who are known for making brash decisions?
Want another one?
