So when Russia comes to the aid of the breakaway province of Alaska...
Which side would Sarah Palin support?

(remember, Alaska once belonged to Russia) :)

6. I wouldn't mind if they invaded California to free us from Arnold.
Not only that they would get some nice beaches and warm weather to vacation in as well.

11. That's the breakaway province of Alta California
Edited on Mon Sep-01-08 08:55 PM by Retrograde
formerly part of Mexico. Except for the Russian colony near Fort Ross.

Sometimes I think we should just become our own country. Y'all can visit anytime, though.


BTW: the beaches up here -San Francisco and points north - are COLD! But you can still admire the view.

4. From what I have read about how Alaskans view Palin, I
wouldn't be surprised if Russia wants her, they will put her on a boat and send her there.

Members of 'Fringe' Alaskan Independence Party Say Palin Was a Member in 90s
September 01, 2008 6:52 PM

snip

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."

snip

Earlier this year, Palin sent a video message to the AIP for its annual convention, where AIP vice chair George Clark told the small crowd that Palin "was an AIP member before she got the job as a mayor of a small town –- that was a non-partisan job. But you get along to go along -– she eventually joined the Republican Party, where she had all kinds of problems with their ethics, and well, I won’t go into that. She also had about an 80 percent approval rating, and is pretty well sympathetic to her former membership."

Lynette Clark says that Palin is "a fine individual. She's forthright and she puts Alaska first."

She is not a fan of McCain.

"I can't understand why in God's name she has aligned herself with a candidate who opposes the development of our republic and Alaska's resource wealth," Clark says.
