Todd Palin Was Registered Member of Alaska Independence Party Until 2002
By Kate Klonick - September 2, 2008, 3:25PM

The McCain camp today disputed rumors that presumptive vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin was ever registered with the secessionist Alaska Independence Party by releasing years of voter registration history . . . but it looks like that doesn't apply to her husband.

This afternoon, the director of Division of Elections in Alaska, Gail Fenumiai, told TPMmuckraker that Todd Palin registered in October 1995 to the Alaska Independence Party, a radical group that advocates for Alaskan secession from the United States.

Besides a short period of a few months in 2000 when he changed his registration to undeclared, Todd Palin remained a registered member of AIP until July 2002 when he registered again as an undeclared voter.

1. probably scrubbed her record

[Vinca]

19. Yep . . . we'll just have to wait for the photos from some meetings to come out. nt

[Ichingcarpenter]

2. And the gifts keep on coming........ How many gifts today I count

3 or more.

[NotThisTime]

39. We need a running tallie, I'm losing count of it all!

[skooooo]

3. Oh no!!!

They're infiltrating the federal government!

[glancingthefuture]

10. :-)

[Critters2]

4. Her husband isn't a Republican? Oh, this just keeps getting better and better.

Michelle should start shopping for drapes this afternoon.

[darius15]

5. Damn

when polls show Obama up 10 points, how will the MSM spin it?

[Dawgs]

6. Hey MSM, 'Is Palin's husband something other than a Republican?'

Seems like this article begs the question 'Is the Republican VP's husband a Republican himself?'.

[starroute]

49. Her husband and son are both independents

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

7. turn out the lights, the party's over

[grantcart]

8. holy fuckmeister

McCain puts up a defense on the AIP and its gone within an hour.


This is moving at the speed of light

[skooooo]

13. what's gone??

What do you mean?

[kennetha]

9. And this matters because...

[Teaser]

12. her husband is a secesh

that won't play well.

[kennetha]

21. her daughter is pregnant

her husband once had a DUI 20 some years ago. Plus he once belonged to a fringe political party. And she faked her pregnancy (oops.)

We're losing focus here. This inane stuff is not going to move anybody one way or the other. Keep the eye on the prize.

[jefferson_dem]

30. I'm sorry but the AIP issue is not inane.

It is infinitely more serious than the pregnancy and DUI issue...and the one issue that will likely and rightly bring her down.

[FatDave]

44. Have you been in a coma for the past, oh I dunno, 30 years?

Only the inane stuff moves the vast voting bloc known as Idiot America. We can go on and on and on and on about policy, and the morons won't pay one bit of attention. Not a single bit. But give them a pregnant teenager or a fake pregnancy and holy shit, this stuff is serious!

[KamaAina]

43. The man sits in on his wife's Cabinet meetings

it's not like he just happens to be married to the governor and stays out of her way.

[Sebastian Doyle]

15. Because secession is a form of treason?

It pales in comparison to what PNAC and the Bush Crime Family have done, but it still should be enough to disqualify someone from the vice presidency.

[grantcart]

16. the AIP is a seditious group that is dedicating to undermining the United States of America

The are also on tape encouraging their members to infiltrate major parties so somebody that is a recent member needs to be asked what their feeling is now.

It also blows away the McCain defense given in the last hour that she was a member a long time ago.


And lastly it raises questions on whether the Palins would qualify for security clearences.

[jefferson_dem]

20. Maybe you're comfortable

with having the potential VP married to someone who openly supported succession of the one of the 50 states. I suspect most Americans are not.

[JBoy]

27. Can you imagine the repub outcry if Michelle Obama had belonged to such a party?

[skooooo]

33. Are you kidding??

You think we should give up Alaska?

[glancingthefuture]

46. I do not think it does: Lets get to the issues of importance instead of looking desperate

<snip>
The McCain campaign released voter registration documents Tuesday dating to 1990 in which Palin lists herself as a Republican. Campaign spokesman Brian Rogers said Palin has been a registered Republican since 1982, and has never been a member of the Alaskan Independence Party.

Palin addressed the Independence Party's state convention by video earlier this year, welcoming the party to Fairbanks. She gave no indication of a current or past connection to the party.

"Your party plays an important role in our state's politics," she said in the video, which is posted on the party's Web site. "I've always said that competition is so good, and that applies to political parties as well."

[book_worm]

11. So what was her connection to the party? wasn't somebody high up in the party quoted as saying she

was a member too?

[graywarrior]

14. Pardon my stupidity but what does this mean?

[K8-EEE]

23. That party hates Murka!

& wants Alaska to succeed from the Union.

[graywarrior]

26. Thank you!

:hi:

[WeDidIt]

25. Todd Palin is a Secessionist

Teh Secessionist leaders claim Sarah was also a member of their little group.

The Secessionists have been pushing an agenda of infiltrating the two major parties.

Sarah Palin recorded an address for the Secessionists 2008 CONVENTION!

Boom

[DangerousRhythm]

17. Oh, NICE.

:toast:

[WeDidIt]

18. BOOM!

[samuraiguppy]

22. her husband is a

fucking successionist--he doesn't give a SHIT about this country. And with her fundie religion--HE calls the shots---WTF--how could anyone vote for her?

What do their campaign signs say? Vote for me--I am a piece of ass?

I am so angry---let me tell you--if they steal this election I am so out of here (Amerika)

[Blue Gardener]

51. Good point

In fundie world the husband is the head of the household and the wife is supposed to submit to him.

[RedEarth]

24. Palin... the first secessionist VP candidate since Jefferson Davis tapped Alexander Stephens

[symbolman]

28. Don't forget, HE is KNOWN as the "Shadow Govenor"

in Alaska.. Ooooh, this is BAD for Seceesion Sarah and CO..

He was getting CC'd on ALL Emails relating to Gov BIZ, and THAT is maybe not so legal either..

Don't know if folks know that the ChairPeople of AIP are my Sister and Bro-in-Law :)

[David Zephyr]

40. The GOP's pick to be VP hates America enough to be a secessionist?

Jeez.

[KittyWampus]

45. if your folks have pix of Palin at some rallies or meetings, they're sitting on a gold mine;

[symbolman]

48. Jesus

never thought of that.. I may make up to them :)

And they actually ARE sitting ON a Gold Mine, they mine their property.. life's wierd huh?

[demobabe]

29. wow!! great job, jeffdem!

amazing! k&r!

[jberryhill]

31. Be Sure To Note This -

The freeptards think the AIP is A OK.

The McCain campaign calls it a "smear".

The AIP tells their people to move up in other parties. That's what Sarah Palin did.

[habitual]

32. OK, let's put this together with his inside advantage

where he gets to see classified info that she protects under executive priv. we have a winning combo. He MATTERS because she clearly comes as a package with him.

BOOOOM HEADSHOT!

[EC]

34. I read somewhere that she gave a speech at one of their

annual get togethers in 2006.

[WeDidIt]

35. Here's her address to the 2008 AIP CONVENTION!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwvPNXYrIyI

[hasssan1]

36. K&R and Send it to Media

[crickets]

50. Yowsa

She gives good code: says everything juuust shy of outright endorsement, but close enough to please and encourage. I hope somebody downloads that in case it gets scrubbed.

[kwolf68]

37. Obama should be ashamed

I mean, where does Obama get off flying up to Alaska and secretly inserting a Todd Palin membership card into the AIP file cabinet?

[David Zephyr]

38. The Republican Party was practically born fighting secessionists.

Abraham Linclon held our union together after the secessionist rebellion led by South Carolina.

Hundreds of thousands of American boys died because of this thinking.

[WeDidIt]

41. Sarah Palin will be the FIRST Secessionist Nominated Since Reconstruction!

Wrap your brain around the Party of Lincoln doing THAT!

And that historic moment happens tomorrow night!

[vanderBeth]

42. Uh-Oh

The S.S. Palin is sinking.

[Thrill]

47. COUNTRY FIRST!
