If he was a member of the Communist Party, I would surely want
clarification. As it is, his only "ties" are that he sat on a
committee with a communist. As it turns out, Palin's ties to the AIP
are not tenuous, she was a member. That doesn't disqualify her, but
some clarification would be helpful. As I have said, I'm not sure I'd
want a secessionist as President.

What about the entire Republic...I mean State of Texax?

Funny you should mention Texas. I've spent a lot of time there, and it
always seemed to me, Texans are Texans first, and Americans second.
Don't get me wrong, Texans are damn fine Americans, but they do seem to
take their state more seriously than most Americans take their respective
states.

Look, McCain's motto is "Country First", and he's lived his life
accordingly. The AIP's motto is "Alaska First, Alaska Always". The
Party's founder, Joe Vogler, is buried in Canada, because he didn't wish
to be buried under the American Flag. It might amount to nothing, but I
think Palin should be asked to clarify the situation.
