Very true...she apparently was not a member of the AIP. I think I indicated above that they were rumors. The Statement claiming her membership was made by Lynette Clark , Chairman of the AIP. After the uproar created by her statement she retracted it...probably under pressure from the GOP and/or the desire of the AIP to have someone sympathetic to their secessionist position in the executive branch. However, that does dispel Palin's affinity expressed in her video. ..nor the fact that her husband is/was a member of the party. Rather odd that a member of the Republican party would be wishing a third party advocating secessionist  policies well.

It is not a matter of desperation , but rather a matter of fact that the video does exist. Nor is it a matter of digging up anything. The video was made quite recently. In it she makes reference to upholding the state's constitution. Noticeably absent is any corresponding reference to the U. S. Constitution. Is this someone we can really expect to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution?

Among Clark's past statements ... the AIP is a state's rights party and that Alaskan statehood is illegal under the U.N. Charter and international law. Would it not be an amusing turn of events to see U.N. peace keeping forces in Alaska? Is this something for which they should be wished well as in Palin's video?

I really do not know or care about what Palin's religious background. I am not certain  if you are serious concerning such. I suppose multilingual talents are good for international relations. However, I do not know how many foreign dignitaries speak in tongues.

By the way...still waiting for your citation of the page upon which you rely for your position on Perpich v. DOD. Having difficulty finding it?
