He didn't expose Obama, because there is nothing to expose. The White House feeds Fox talking points, as McClellan said. By the way McClellan is the former press secretary, not a general, Sarah. Fox loves McSame and Pain. Things Fox will never say:
. "For all but two months from 1995 to 2002, the GOVERNOR'S HUSBAND WAS REGISTERED AS AN ALASKAN INDEPENDENCE PARTY MEMBER, according to the Alaska Division of Elections." AIP "remains steadfastly opposed to environmental regulations and actively promotes the private ownership and widespread development of Alaskan land." AIP ALSO WANTS TO VOTE ON WHETHER TO SECEDE FROM THE UNITED STATES.
September 3, 2008
Tonight, Sarah Palin will be nominated as the Republican Party's choice for vice president of the United States.
But back home, she has cheered the work of a tiny party that long has pushed for a statewide vote on whether Alaska should secede from those same United States. And her husband, Todd, was a member of the party for seven years.
Palin and her husband attended the party's 1994 convention at a Best Western in Wasilla, Alaska, said former Chairman Mark Chryson, a computer repairman who is now the party's webmaster.
A former mayor of Wasilla, Palin also spoke to the party's convention in the same hotel in 2006 when she was running for governor, Chryson said.
The formation and history of the AIP largely revolve around Joe Vogler, a plain-spoken gold miner, non-practicing attorney and charismatic icon of local politics who ran unsuccessfully for governor three times between 1974 and 1986. -- Vogler formed Alaskans for Independence (AFI) in 1978 in order to promote the idea of an "Independent Nation of Alaska." As AFI was non-partisan and devoted to issue advocacy, VOGLER later FORMED the AIP in order to support the more political and campaign-related aspects of the Alaskan independence movement and his candidacies for governor.
Among the issues advocated by the party: the direct popular election of the state attorney general and all judges, the right to keep and bear arms, the privatization of government services, and a constitutional amendment to ban property taxes. The AIP, following Vogler's infamous confrontations with officials from the National Park Service and the Environmental Protection Agency, remains steadfastly opposed to environmental regulations and actively promotes the private ownership and widespread development of Alaskan land.
"I'M AN ALASKAN, NOT AN AMERICAN. I'VE GOT NO USE FOR AMERICA OR HER DAMNED INSTITUTIONS."
JOE VOGLER, FOUNDER OF AIP
"KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK," SARAH PALIN TOLD MEMBERS OF THE ALASKAN INDEPENDENCE PARTY in a videotaped speech to their convention six months ago in Fairbanks. She wished the party luck on what she called its "inspiring convention."
