Todd Palin hasn’t been a member of the AIP since 2002, he has been registered as an independent voter since them.

The AIP wants a vote on the status of Alaska, based on their belief that the original statehood vote in 1958 didn’t include all of the options. Other than that single issue they are pretty much a standard libertarian party.

The Palins haven’t been members of the Pentecostal church since 2003, they moved to another evangelical church that is not related to any national groups. No one seems to know this, as the Assembly of God church in Wasilla, the church she left in 2003, is the one everyone fixates on.

No one is prepared to be President of the United States, but Sarah Palin is campaigning in support of John McCain, and many of the “positions” she takes are the positions of John McCain, not Sarah Palin. She didn’t ask to be McCain’s running mate.

She is probably more intelligent that McCain based on her college achievement, but that is not something she is allowed by the system to show.

She does listen to her advisors, and changes her mind based on the introduction of new facts.

I’m not voting for any of the major parties in this election because I don’t see a lot of difference in the decisions they have made – they went with the flow for political gain and don’t seem to have any core principles.

Both sides are lying like hell, and it didn’t take me long to discover that. Neither side will be good for foreign policy, as neither side can think globally. Both sides have terrible advisors who advocate failed policies.

The manner in which we select candidates is a disgrace. The media has entirely too much power over the process and they don’t like people with good ideas. They wanted a “story” and they pushed to get one. The media was looking for a foreign policy/national security election and got blind-sided by the economy.

Mitt Romney would be a better choice for the Republicans and Hillary Clinton for the Democrats because they have better credentials for the current reality, but the media didn’t like them.

I don’t write about this election beyond local issues because I have no interest in the outcome. It will be bad regardless and no one wants me to “harsh their mellow” with the truth of the disaster they helped to create.

Bad politicians don’t have 85% approval ratings unless there is a major disaster, but that was Palin’s approval rating in Alaska before she was pulled into this mess by McCain’s advisors. She isn’t the person you think you see in the media or her ratings wouldn’t have been that high.

She and anyone like here is the very *LAST* nut you want in charge of anything right now. That plus the fact she is a complete BS artiste and I’m amazed she even tells her name truthfully.

Keith get’s it:
Special Comment: What is “pro-America”, Senator?

She isn’t *Pro-America*, she’s just a greedy clueless hick in way above her head. She should have stuck to Catwalks. If she’s so ‘Pro-America’, why is it OK for her husband to belong to a group that wants Alaska to secede from the USA (A very good idea I might add. I can think of several other States that should also secede, the concept of which is amusing, given that the USA is a Republic of States anyway). LOL

The current incumbent is to much of a chickenshit to start a Nuclear war. She’s too stupid to be that scared.

Meeehhh… *shrug*

She has always had a sizable mandate when elected, but she doesn’t follow the “party line”, which has angered a lot of the Republican establishment in Alaska. It’s the Republicans who are attacking her in her home state. The Democrats go along just on general principles, because she is a Republican, but it’s the Republican Party of Alaska that wants to destroy her.

It would very difficult indeed for her to be worse that the current occupant of the White House, but I’m not anxious to find out what she would decide is the “will of the people”.

Here’s a good summation of Miss Wasilla 1984 (Sarah Palin) resume for VP and probably President. If this doesn’t scare you… I’d have thought that her career in beauty pageants would have disqualified her for most people. *shrug*

McCain Picks Beauty Pageant Journalist Sarah Palin As Running Mate

The more I learn about her (which, admittedly isn’t much as she has the depth of a cardboard cutout), the more I have to laugh! 😀

Americans… LMAO

Mark Jacoby, head of the firm Young Political Majors that has been implicated in the growing scandal over Republican fraud in voter registrations. The Secretary of State’s Election Fraud Investigation Unit led the inquiry that resulted in the arrest and had this to say in an emailed press release:

The owner of a signature-gathering firm that works across California was arrested in Ontario today on suspicion of committing voter registration fraud, Secretary of State Debra Bowen announced.

…

This arrest comes on the heels of recent media coverage of YPM’s fraudulent tactics sometimes known as “slamming” – where voters are duped into changing their party registrations, or where their registration is simply changed by YPM without the voter’s knowledge:

The Times randomly interviewed 46 of the hundreds of voters whose election records show they were recently re-registered as Republicans by YPM, and 37 of them — more than 80% — said that they were misled into making the change or that it was done without their knowledge.

Jacoby’s arrest does not stem from those specific charges, which are still under investigation, but the fact that Jacoby himself was fraudulently registered is damning.

It should also lead us to ask why Steve Poizner is funding YPM’s efforts.

But then that’s the modern Republican Party for you – making baseless charges against someone else (i.e. ACORN) to hide their own criminal behavior.

Arrest Made in Widening GOP Voter Registration Fraud Scandal

And with that, I bid you ‘good night’! 😀

Reduce the number of signatures required, but require they be signed at an election office would be a better solution. They require that signatures be of registered voters, and the election office is the only place that can be verified.

In Florida when you change your address on your driver’s license you change your address on the voter registration at the same time, You can register at local government offices, the drivers’ license bureau, as well as the Supervisor of Elections office, so these drives aren’t necessary. If you can’t swing by an office to fill out a form, it is highly unlikely you will make it to the polls.

I am of the firm belief that Reg Drives/Signature Gathering SHOULD NOT INCLUDE PAYMENT to those doing it.

It’s been a nightmare with these folks.

Prize-worthy bad prose is a gift given to few. There are naturals, like Bulwer-Lytton, but he didn’t realize his gift. I assume it is akin to good satire, which is rare indeed, as most people remain stuck with lampoon and can never make the next step.
