Sarah's been active in the Alaska Independence Party and her husband is a registered member. Sarah spoke at their Convention in 2008.
Exact quote:
"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. 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."
It gets worse below the jump ...
Continued:
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."
I'm speechless.
More:
"...put the Republican label on to get elected. That’s all there is to it. And any one of your organizations should be using that same tactic to infiltrate. I know that Christian Exodus is in favor of it, I know that the Free State Movement is in favor of it. I don’t know that they even care which party it is. Which ever party you see where you can get something done, get into that political party, even though it does have it’s problems. Right now that is one of the only avenues. If you can get a few people on the city council, or a town board, you can have some effect."
Wow. Vetted? Not quite, huh?
This would mean nothing if Sarah herself wasn't intimately involved with this party over the last 25 years. What the heck has McCain gotten himself into? This explains why Palin's Pipeline to Nowhere has no plan to provide natural gas to the lower 48 - just Canada, China, and Alaska. Hmm.
