    Previously, I have covered Sarah Palin and my issues with her. Being the governor of one of the most corrupted states in the Union is one thing, then we go from wanted to teach creationism to the troopergate scandal and then over to pipelines.  From what I have read, the scandals have nearly caused her to lose her position as a Mayor.
Personally, I don't care about the kid issue, and if you think that she
or ANY republican for that matter would seriously overturn Roe v. Wade
considering how many votes it gets them around election time with that
false promise, you really are in lala land.
But of all the stuff out there on this woman, this one takes the cake! So much for unity...

ABC News:

Officials of the Alaskan Independence Party say that Palin was once
so independent, she was once a member of their party, which since the
1970s has been pushing for a legal vote for Alaskans to decide whether
or not residents of the 49th state can secede from the United States.
And while McCain's motto -- as seen in a new TV ad -- is "Country
First," the AIP's motto is the exact opposite -- "Alaska First --
Alaska Always."

We've been exploring the AIP all day here, here and here.  Did Palin agree with the group's platform?

She doesn't know what Palin's position was.
"It never came up in conversation," Clark recalls. "But when she joined the party our platform was right under her nose."

And what does the AIP believe?

• A belief that "the vote for statehood was invalid because the people were not presented with the range of options
  available to them" and that "the federal government has since breached
  the contract for statehood on numerous occasions in over a dozen
  serious and substantial instances."


• A belief that there should be a vote on Alaskan secession.


• Remaining "steadfastly opposed to environmental regulations and actively promotes the private ownership and widespread development of Alaskan land."...
