Palin Laments: My Own Son Isn't A Republican

[democracy1st]

In an interview with the Washington Times, resigning Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) made a surprising admission: Her own son doesn't vote with the party she represented on the national state last fall. Asked what she would do once she stepped down from her post, Palin told the paper she would campaign for candidates she favored, whatever their party:

"I will go around the country on behalf of candidates who believe in the right things, regardless of their party label or affiliation," she said over lunch in her downtown office, 40 miles from her now-famous hometown of Wasilla -- population 7,000 -- where she began her political career.

"People are so tired of the partisan stuff -- even my own son is not a Republican," said Mrs. Palin, who stunned the political world earlier this month with her decision to step down as governor July 26 with 18 months left in her term.


Palin may be expanding her horizons out of necessity. Vulnerable Republicans facing reelection in 2010 have said they don't want her help.

1. She could have also said the same about her hubby,

who is an Alaska Separatist. Oh, lest I forget, he also runs snowmachines. Can't leave that out.

2. Probably doesn't want to end up like his mother

Can't say I blame him.

3. How sharper than a serpent's tooth

is a Republican's ungrateful child.

4. Maybe it's a deliberate rebellion for naming him Track Enfield.

5. Wonder if he started to vote AIP

The same party Todd was a member of for, what was it...7 yrs?

7. My Thoughts Exactly...

If he's been in the military, who knows what skinheads and other wingnuts he probably have run into...and all the crap he was probably spoonfed at home. I'll bet a bright shiny dime he's a Freeper on his way to Stormfront.

11. Just following in his parent's footsteps

As the AIP Vice Chair Dexter Clark said on tape at the 2007 American Secessionist Convention about :

"She was an AIP member before she got the job as a mayor of a small town -- that was a nonpartisan job. But to get along to 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 is pretty well sympathetic because of her former membership".

Yeah, my very first thought reading the OP was AIP and she was saying that to send a msg perhaps.

14. Palin had problems with Republican ethics?

She's gotta be even more evil than Cheney if she finds Republican ethics (such as they are) troublesome.

6. Translation: he is not registered to vote

That grifting bitch is so transparent

8. hehe ur right my friend

9. I didn't read that as a lament, but rather a matter-of-fact statement.

He may well be to the right of Republicans. just as many Freepers revile the GOP for not being wingnutty enough to suit them. Better to reserve judgment here, I think.

10. Does he not vote, at all? That'd be my guess.

[Xenotime]

12. Sounds like there is one smart one in the den of idiots.

[Raine]

13. I doubt he's even registered to vote nt

15. Apparently, Ronald Reagan Jr. didn't vote for his father either. n t
