If he was a member of the Communist Party, I would surely want

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.

Here's a question for you or anyone else.

How do you think Palin will fare at a *real* press conference for a
couple of hours where *real* reporters ask the usual sort of tough
questions?

Or, do you think McCain will let her have such an event?

Harry,
Why don't you just take rec.boats out of the posting NG, and post at
sci.military.naval?
