Alaskan Independence Party

Here's a video of a speech by an Alaskan Independence Party (AIP) official in which he claims that Sarah Palin was a member of the AIP and just registered as a Republican to appear more mainstream. Is he in a position to know?



He says (start at 6:00 in): "[Palin] was an AIP member before she got a job as the mayor of a small town (that was a non-partisan job) but to get along and to go along she eventually joined the Republican party ... and is pretty well sympathetic to her former membership."

He goes on to speak favorably of Ron Paul (see the previous post on Paul and Palin), claiming that he also joined the Republican party just to get elected.
