The woman who, if she becomes the vice president of the United States, will have to take an oath to uphold the Constitution. Problem is, she was a member of a political party whose aim was to subvert the Constitution and have the state of Alaska secede from the Union:

Officials of the Alaskan Independence Party say that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) “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,” reports ABC News.

The AIP platform states that the purpose of the party is to “seek the complete repatriation of the public lands, held by the federal government, to the state and people of Alaska in conformance with Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17, of the federal constitution … To prohibit all bureaucratic regulations and judicial rulings purporting to have the effect of law, except that which shall be approved by the elected legislature … To support the privatization of government services …”

Here’s the big problem for Republicans: Marc Ambinder has a party official on video saying party members must “infiltrate” — his words — the other two parties and push for the cause of Alaskan independence.
