Check out what that party stands for!!!!!  Saw American servicemen stationed in Alaska at time of vote for statehood as "occuping troops".  Founder of party, Vogel made a horrendous statement against the U.S.  AIP wants independence from U.S. to secede and be their own territory or join with a western Canadian state.  Why??? They want the revenue from Alaska\'s resources.  Palin was a member of the party - left to run as a Rep for Mayor. That\'s what AIP members do. Change party\'s to be elected but maintain their loyalty to the cause and against America!</div>\

She was NOT well thought of as Mayor.  In fact, she was the subject of a Recall effort at one point due to the massive firings which she conducted on day one of becoming Mayor.  While Mayor, she was part of the 527 committee for Sen. Ted Stevens....which allowed her to accept millions from corporations on his behalf...and be paid to do it.  In return, he arranged for millions in Earmarks (including the famous "bridge to nowhere...which she was for before she was against).  The bridge was never built, but the money was put to use as a downpayment for a massive sports stadium ... the balance due being shifted to taxpayers (who now average oweing $3,000 each).  As for the stadium, it earns a nice income for the corporations who own the teams that play there by sticking the locals for tickets, junk food and a variety of merchandise...all of which is imported.<br><br>Sarah Palin, of course, having done so much for the profit of big business, decided NOT to run for mayor...but instead to run for Governor.  With the help of MASSIVE corporate donations and an endorsement by her good friend Senator Ted Stevens, she managed to squeek thru the election.  I personally have no doubt that her "opponant" in the primary had been "asked" to give his efforts a "lip service" effort in exchange for a nice comfy retirement package.<br><br>What can we expect from a politician who has such a long history of demonstrating zero respect for people ?  Can you say...4 more years of Bush...but in a dress ???</div>\
