Target Women: Sarah Palin

Palin and the Alaska Independence Party

True American?

from:
The Guardian

Over at samefacts.com, Mark Kleiman appears to have nailed down the AIP membership story. Current party chair Lynette Clark says:

Yes, Governor Palin was a member of the Alaskan Independence Party. She joined the Party and attended the AIP Statewide Convention held in Wasilla in 1994, along with her husband, Todd. In 1996 she changed her registration to Republican and Todd re-registered as undeclared, a registration he holds today.

Now we have a situation where one of three people is lying. Clark is lying or Palin is lying to the McCain team or the McCain team knows the truth and is lying. Of the three, Clark would seem to have the least motivation to speak with forked tongue.

Also, tracking some of this stuff in DIGG

HER words from her speech: "While I was at it, I got rid of a few things in the governor's office that I didn't believe our citizens should have to pay for. That luxury jet was over the top. I put it on eBay"

is a whole lot different than the FACTS:

"After going unsold for months, the jet was put into the hands of Turbo North Aviation, an Anchorage aircraft broker, which put an asking price of $2.45 million on the nearly $2.7 million jet. It quickly sold to Alaska businessman Larry Reynolds for $2.1 million ($31,000 of which went to Turbo Aviation). Today the Westwind II jet spends its days ushering wealthy hunters around Alaska and Russia."

It goes to credibility, of which she is devoid.

Here she is back pedaling but still appeasing this whack job constituency
