You know how Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was once a member of the Alaska Independence Party, which advocates giving voters the right to vote on whether or not to secede from the United States of America? It was in all the blogs.
Well, as it turns out, not so much. The Republican-leaning blog Hot Air reports that Palin has been a registered Republican since 1982 and has never been a member of AIP. As mayor of Wasilla, she made an appearance at the AIP convention when it was held in the town.
My two cents: As a former member of the Libertarian Party, I’d hate to be remembered for that mistake. So, I’d be willing to overlook something like that. But turns out to be yet another false rumor about this woman.Â


“Get rid of “corporations†and their protections and put the liability on the investors/owners and they will very quickly expand ownership to employees to reduce their personal, individual liability. Then respect all individual rights. Little need for government ownership and control (the socialist part) if we respect individual rights and unions get their heads out of their butts.”
That’ll certainly shake out a lot of deadwood. however, you’ll then hear even more b1@tching und vinig about those knotty “trial lawyers”, proposals to limit class-actions etc the usual.
