wear a helmet while riding on a 4 wheeler.

Makes all the NRA hunter types get a chubby. And we really don't want to see that.

4. Well, I am an "NRA hunter type" and I vote Democratic

Go figure, eh? Try being less of a dick in the future, please.

10. Look down at post #5 to see my point.

That stuff will get the gun nuts all wound up for the following reasons:

1) She's pretty and wields a gun, and knows how to use it. This is no different than female geeks at a technology expo (who aren't adbots working at the booths). I now from experience these women are mobbed because in the IT world 80% of the population is male. It doesn't mean that women can't code or be capable sys admins, most I've met are more than capable. No, but the overwhelmingly male population goes bananas over these women and the whole point of what's going on, in this case computer technology. People are just thinking how sexy these women are and not thinking about their capabilities to do their jobs. Its sexism, and many gun nuts will go the same way too. They'll vote for her because she's sexy with a gun. And that's sexism to, hence the chubby remark.

2) By passing around these photos, and making fun of them. This reminds the die hard, Red Dawn, militia crowd types who they are up against. By making fun of her hunting and riding ATVs, they feel, we are making fun of them and their lifestyles. Your reaction proves my point. You took offense and railed against me. Ridicule, even mine, gets them excited and energized.

You obviously are the exception to the rule, but I stand by my point. The fact that you reacted to my post proves further proves my point. Do you like the fact that much of DU has been making fun of her gun toting, outdoors ruggedness? The NRA feel (falsely) that America is trying to take their guns away. So, stressing them out, who already stressed out, helps nothing and hurts everything. Furthermore, I'm sure you'll admit, most NRA members are voting Republican, and are now excited to vote Republican because of her lifetime NRA membership. Whereas before they were lukewarm on McCain, now they have a poster child that stands for most of what they believe in. They have something to rally behind.

Hence, us passing this stuff around and yucking it up is not a good idea.

9. Hey, hey, hey. Springer's smart enough to know he shouldn't be veep.

Even though he'd make a better veep than TaliPalin.

11. Here's Palin pics for ya, straight from an AIP event where she's signing an initiative petition!!

I just joined the site a few hours ago and when I try to make a new post it tells me I don't have enough replies to start a post, and I'm getting too impatient not to share this. So take a look at this. It's a little confusing, so bear with me.

I sent this in an email to HuffPo, but I don't see anything on their site about it yet.



While not proving that Sarah Palin was a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, I stumbled across a whole bunch of photos of Sarah on the AIP website akip.org. Here's the kicker, they are not immediately visible from the main web site.

If you go to the photo gallery page listed on the main web site:

http://www.akip.org/gallery.html

you would think that is their main photo gallery. However, while doing an image search for Alaskan Independence Party photos, I ran across the following page, which isn't a menu option on the site's main page. It is from an older version of the web site that hasn't been updated since 2002.

http://www.akip.org/photo.html

You'll see a bunch of photos labeled Move It! 2001 apparently relating to this event:

http://www.akip.org/moveit.html

What you DON'T SEE on this photo gallery page are listings for the following photos, which I found by simply substituting a different number at the end of the photo url.










Of notable interest is photo , where Sarah Palin appears to be signing the initiative petition.

Don't know what can be with these, as the initiative petition only involves moving legislative sessions from Juneau to a location outside of Anchorage. It does show she agrees with the AIP on this issue at least, and verifies that she did attend some events that they sponsored. Additionally, it seems kind of shady that none of these photos are accessible. If you do the same "substituting the numbers" trick with the photos on the main web site photo gallery page, it doesn't work.



I've saved these images to my hard drive, but it might not hurt if someone else did it as well.

12. I read she wanted to move the capital to Wasilla in 1994

(I think). She was elected mayor in 1992?

That little girl SHOULD have been wearing a helmet. We've buried 4 children here in the last 2 summers thrown from ATV's. It's irresponsible and STUPID to allow them on without one.
