Thread: For the Record

Many stories have been circulating attemting to connect Sarah Palin to Pat Buchanan. For people still hoping that Sarah Palin is a Buchananite: She is not!!

http://news.yahoo.com/story//ap/2008090 ... n_politics

Obama advisers and surrogates have linked Palin to conservative former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan. An Associated Press story from Alaska, dated July 17, 1999, stated that Palin, then the mayor of the small town of Wasilla, was wearing a Buchanan button during a Buchanan visit to Alaska.

But in a letter to the Anchorage Daily News a week later, Palin wrote: "When presidential candidates visit our community, I am always happy to meet them. I'll even put on their button when handed one as a polite gesture of respect. ... The article may have left your readers with the perception that I am endorsing this candidate, as opposed to welcoming his visit to Wasilla."

Voter registration records and past news reports, however, show Palin never registered as a member of the Independence Party, and backed Steve Forbes' presidential campaign in 2000, not Buchanan.

McCain spokesman Michael Goldfarb disputed Buchanan's claim, saying Palin supported Forbes in 1996 as well.

My intention here is not to simply throw her out squarely based on her non-support of Pat. Its just that this has been blogged about a lot on the net, including here at ALIPAC. Her support for Pat would be a strong argument in favor of us supporting her. Since this is not the case, it can not be used. I understand that immigration was/is not really a priority for Alaska, but the fact is that Steve Forbes was an open borders advocate. Buchanan was popular in Alaska, winning their primary in 1996. She certainly knew who he was, and did not support him....unless the McCain camp is lying. In either case, it shows no current association with Buchanan.

The Buchanan thing can be thrown out.

We still need to know what her position is.

good post BFR . Talking of pins . In her speech last night my son isolated the lapel pin she was wearing . Zoomed in and blew it up and found it to be a Star of David . No American Flag pin . No McAmnesty pin . Star of David with no mention from msm . Did the World Bankers pick this unknown person ?
I know she is a Christian . But in this day and age and the world we live in . I trust only my family . NOT the government

You're the only one I've seen mention their names in the same sentence here on ALIPAC.

Well, I didn't say just on ALIPAC. There have been many blogs written about the two on the net, as well as news commentators mentioning it. But since you have only seen myself mention it on ALIPAC, here ya go:

That's just a cut & paste blog from another site, isn't it? I didn't argue your point regarding discussions on other web sites. Personally, I don't typically frequent other sites.

I just wish people would give the gal a break until more facts are known about her. I hate to see what I consider excessive attacks based on assumptions, lies, partial truth, etc.

Honestly, you can't deny that a lot folks are making judgements based on little more than presumption. Yep, it's even happening here on ALIPAC.

That is a link to a thread on ALIPAC about the two started by someone other than myself and discussed by several people. Yes, the blog was from another website, but the entire thread was about a possible association. I didn't intend for it to mean that the blogs started here, (although I see it may come off that way) just that they have been posted and discussed here. Its clear what the intention of the thread was, and I have no problem with it (we all were hoping it was true). I wasn't the only person interested in this, and it seemed people were interested in knowing for sure. That is why I posted this, otherwise people could be misinformed about the VP candidate.

I agree that she has been taking too much heat. My intention was not to give her a hard time, it was not even to dismiss her as a viable option. It was simply to inform people that she is not a supporter of Pat Buchanan, so that idea needs to be thrown out. I think you would have to agree that I have not partaken in any of the attacks on her, and I don't intend to.

She's just a gimmick. If McSame becomes president he won't let her do anything at all. And I doubt she'll care very much about illegal immigration since she probably hasn't much experience on that issue either.

See, that's exactly what I'm talking about. More judgement based on assumption.

You can be of the opinion that her selection was a "gimmick." However, you can't know what the future holds.
