How will the GOP defend Palin's membership in the AIP??

[skooooo]

Probably tomorrow, some reporter will get to ask about this. What's your prediction - how will the GOP play off her involvement with this group? As a minor youthful indiscretion?? Will the press buy that??

[damndude]

1. they can't ----- country first

[skooooo]

4. Oh their mottoe is "country first.."

I see -- not Alaska first! lol

[Median Democrat]

2. Michele Bachmann Will Call The Reporter Sexist Like Hillary Supporter James Carville

[Ichingcarpenter]

3. I guess they will ask Lincoln what he thought about Succession

from the Union.

[terrya]

5. My understanding is that she spoke to the group while she's a governor.

This isn't some "youthful indescretion". This will be more damaging to her than her daughter's pregnancy, in my opinion.

[skooooo]

10. ooh that is bad!

[FrenchieCat]

6. Call it independent and gutsy?

[terrya]

7. Dupe

[democrat2thecore]

8. There is no defense - they'll be too busy figuring out how to best get her off the ticket -nt

[Motown_Johnny]

9. they will say she was right, and kick Alaska out of the union

[IndianaJones]

11. she was a POW. nt.

[PM7nj]

12. Lie and say she never was a member.

[ben_meyers]

13. They'll just say that Regan was a Democrat until he saw

the error of his ways and Hillary was a Young Republican. People change, is this all you got?

[Matariki]

14. I think the spin's already begun - they're calling themselves a "state's rights" organization

[skooooo]

16. That's what the southern states said ...

...when they were trying to hold onto Jim Crow.

[terrya]

19. Oh, please. I think the word "independence" in that name is pretty clear,

They make their intentions of independence clear on their website.

[trueblue2007]

22. HAHAHAHAHAH. Sarah can be President of Alaska!!!

They want to be their own nation.


Moose will replace the Eagle!!!
This is soooooooooooooooooooo funny.

[Sugarcoated]

15. She was actually a member?

Or did she just speak there? They may just try to say she gave a speech there, I'm guessing.

[skooooo]

17. She was a member for a few years in the 90s. nt

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

18. She considers herself the President of the nation of Alaska and has made Alaskan foreign policy

thereby gaining invaluable foreign policy experience.

[omen]

21. LOL

[sofa king]

20. They'll trundle out Thomas Jefferson.

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them...."

Note that I'm not defending Mrs. Palin or the a-holes who will dig the relevant document out of W's trash can. But I guarantee you that the smarter conservative shills will hold up Tommy J and try to hide in his considerable shadow.

On the Free Republic, you'll be able to get that with a side-order of Federalist Papers.

[PM7nj]

25. A few states tried that a while ago...

[vaberella]

23. They might try to pull it was years ago. But that's viral and TREASONish. The Repubs will die. n/t

[PM7nj]

24. Could you imagine what they would say if Obama was once a member of a Hawaii secessionist party?

OMG! I can imagine. They would be... rightfully so... screaming their heads off. I want to see them TRY to spin this one.
