Reasonable? Hardly. It's not even logical.

Such a position just happens to be the destruction of America's most fundamental premise.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men..."

Either God-given rights are unalienable everywhere in America, or they are alienable anywhere and everywhere. The very existence of liberty and of the Union depends upon it.

Do you also think it would be "reasonable" for freedom to worship, free assembly, a free press, or the right to keep and bear arms to be considered a "states' rights issue"?

I think it far more likely that we can get America to take one step in the direction of being a Godly nation by electing Sarah Palin than we are to get them to take two steps by joining the one half of one percent who will vote AIP. Especially in swing states like Pennsylvania and Iowa. If I lived in, say, North Dakota or Utah, my opinion would be different.
