Sarah Palin’s All-American Road Trip
What a great combination: Sarah Palin and Rolling Thunder. Memorial Day in Washington, D.C. sounds like it will be a blast. The event is the kick-off for a cross-country bus tour. The Palin family will hit the northeastern corridor first, on a route that will take them to “historical sites that were key to the formation, survival, and growth of the United States of America.” (As readers know, I LOVE me some all-American summer road trips.)
Hope Gov. Palin makes it out here to the Rocky Mountain West, where pioneer women homesteaders blazed trails Mama Grizzly-style.
RCP has details:
“Starting this weekend, Sarah Palin will embark on a ‘One Nation’ tour of historical sites that were key to the formation, survival, and growth of the United States of America,” SarahPAC treasurer Tim Crawford said in a statement to RealClearPolitics. “The tour will originate in Washington, D.C. It will proceed north up the east coast.”
Details were still being hammered out on Thursday, but sources indicated to RCP that the bus tour is expected to last several weeks and will be divided up into separate geographical stretches for logistical reasons.
…According to aides who have traveled with her on past campaigns, Palin loathes fundraisers and many of the other necessities of life on the trail, but she relishes opportunities to interact with voters face-to-face. Palin’s retail politicking skills were indeed a key factor in her political rise in Alaska.
In spite of the celebrity profile that she has embraced since 2008, the unorthodox nature of the bus tour indicates that Palin recognizes that she would have to run a grassroots campaign that dusts off some of her shine, in order to highlight her blue-collar persona.
Palin will do just that on the first day of her tour on Sunday when she participates in Rolling Thunder-an annual Memorial Day weekend motorcycle rally held in Washington, D.C. Participants at this year’s event will gather outside the Pentagon before parading down Constitution Avenue on their way to the National Mall near the Lincoln Memorial.
Roll on!

Flyoverman:
You’re absolutely right. For this fight we’ll need:
-M16 Rifle
-12 gauge shotgun
-1911 Colt .45 ACP
-Kbar knife
-Swiss Army knife
-Combat shovel
-Brass knuckles
Am I missing something? Please feel free to add to the list. This is gonna be a nasty, dirty, all out fight to take power away from the marxist hordes in DC.
I’m all in, Flyoverman!
Dry TP. You deserve some creature comforts.
Flyoverman: The one thing we conservatives lack is a media machine. How do you see overcoming that obstacle? Obama has how many outlets in his back pocket?
I can imagine the protests that will go along with Sarah’s Roadtrip.
Billboard signs and every other media that can be used. Something needs to be done to combat the Obama machine.
In all likliyhood, we will be up against Hillary Clinton or some other deadbeat Marxist. Barry will be dealing with some legal issues.
Remember where you heard it.
Sir Landslide.
Just how is being pro-amnesty “fixable”? What’s fixable, very fixable, is Cain’s (so far) lack of emphasis on foreign policy. That’s very fixable, because his record of accomplishment is impossible unless the man has an extemely versatile and intelligent mind.
Having the wrong attitude towards our sovereignty is even less fixable than promoting AGW theory or RomneyCare.
That should read: without McLame’s confidence in her ability to appeal to conservatives. Do you really think he wanted someone who actually was conservative? What the hell use would he have for that?
Hirahm’s got it exactly right: this is California all over again, with Zero as BustaMEChA, Cain as McClintock, and Sarah as Arnold.
Sorry, but Obooboo lowered that bar so low the kid that bags my groceries is at least as qualified.
Care to compare resumes?
- ‘Community
AgitatorOrganizer-Back Bench State Senator (voting ‘Present’ a LOT)
-Freshman US Senator
vs
- City Council member
- Mayor of a City
- Chair of a State Energy Commission
- Popular Governor of a large state
And Palin had tangible achievements in those positions. What did Obummer do?
Any OBJECTIVE look at qualifications would put Palin ahead of any of other 3 men on the tickets in 2008. If you muffle the MSM echo-chamber and put the Kool-Aid down you might notice things.
Having Socialist grandparents and mother sucks to.
Being rejected by millions in 2012 will definitely suck for Barry.
Agreed. +1
Phil, you misunderstood my post. The newsbreak seemed like a Romney ad, it wasn’t a Romney ad, it just sounded like one, although it was presented as a newsbreak during O’Really? Fox News has become an establishment mouthpiece.
Here is an interesting read if anyone has the time. LCDR FITZPATRICK has been dealing with a situation in Tennessee that is out of control.
This article, however, relates to his formal charges of treason that he filed against Soetoro. Not something that is taken lightly.
http://www.thepostemail.com/2011/05/22/why-treason-charge-against-obama-was-filed-more-than-two-years-ago
You got that right and it makes Fox a dangerous place for conservatives who do not realize what has happen to Fox over the last couple of years. Remember the “battle” between Obama and Fox? Obama won.
Thank God there are websites like http://www.thepostemail.com
How long before Barry’s new minister of propaganda shuts them down?
They start by sending the goons, like they did with Miss Tickly. All they had to do was say happy belated birthday and how is your four year old named….
Take no prisoners? Sounds delightful. Count me in.

HI CONSERVATIVE_HISPANIC–#198. A good start on your list. Don’t forget the case of hand grenades, flamethrower, Claymore Mines, and a few RPG’s in case a tank shows up.

And a big box of Demoncrat style premarked ballots for use in the recounts. They worked well in the Senator Al Franken victory that brought us ObamaCare.

So this means Sarah will be flying in and out of the new Arizona digs, having the bus meet her Lear Jet at the local airport? Nice house you all helped her buy!
You go girl! And thanks for the extra $1200.00 ! That was a big help.
What site that will be!
Miss Sarah & Rolling Thunder!
I do hope Miss Sarah comes to NJ.
I’d love to see her…cool beans!
These are just the facts. People do not like her and they don’t believe she’s qualified to be president. She started with low favorables when she quit her job, and they just get lower and lower all the time.
I don’t think polls matter much this early in the game. The polls in spring ’07 certainly didn’t come close to predicting what went down in ’08.
I have a question. Actually two questions.
Is the Republican primary process designed to land on a candidate quickly? I don’t know the differences in how the two parties’ primaries are set up, but it seemed like the Republicans landed on McCain immediately in ’08, while the Clinton/Obama face-off went on forever.
If the answer to that question is yes…do you think it helps or hurts the conservative cause to land on a candidate fairly quickly? It seems to me that a quicker process favors a very moderate candidate…is that right?
Wait, that was three questions.
Nelson Rockefeller. George H. W. Bush. Lisa Murkowski. Colin Powell. Jon Huntsman.
Um, RSS. He said “conservative alternatives”, not “alternatives to conservatives”.
I wish she would come to my neck of the woods, but there’s nothing that helped form the country in my area, unless you count the fact we were the “breadbasket of the revolution”.
whistling past the graveyard (again).
Don’t mention Huntsman. Something is not right in that man.
Sarah is an American hero and will be an amazing president! Yep – I’m in, 100%! Palin 2012!
Huntsman is just a Romney alternative since he can’t get that albatross loose…..
As if anybody who served in Obama’s administration isn’t 100% toxic. The Dems keep pushing this guy, pretending that he’s so popular amongst “the people” and they’re so scared of him. They must have something on him that they can use should he make it through the primaries. I fully expect an NY Times endorsement for him.
No soup for you!
If I accepted anyone of these, OK_Loyalist would gut me like a fish.
I’ll keep trying to find a way to get you a Maidrite RSS.
Spacey, John, and VP,
I was watching GMA on ABC this morning, and, as he does daily, George was out their carrying the water for Obama. He had this other pundit on and they agreed that Romney, Huntsman, or Pawlenty MIGHT be a challenge to Obama. However, if Palin, Bachmann, or Cain were Obama’s opponent, his re-election was a slam dunk.
As yes, analysis from the people who helped give us McCain.
Well, we now know what three to discard and what three to support now don’t we?
I am of the opinion that the GOP primary process is constucted to the advantage of the establishment candidate who can garner the most cash early. Super Tuesday is the key day.
I think Palin’s non-traditional approach using the socail media amy turn that on its head.
The difference in the Democrat process is the presence of Super Delegates. They pretty much insure the crowd in the smoke-filled room gets their choice.
We’re all bored of the first black president, and now we’re tickled to have the first gay president.
Lincoln Chafee!
So far “none of the above” seems like the most intelligent choice for a real conservative.
Absolutely, but I didn’t really need their help, Pawlenty is just plain boring in addition to his support of GoreBull Warming Taxes, Romney has his albatross of Romneycare and his flip-flopping history, and Huntsman is a non-entity.
Huntsman is fake and something else I can’t put my finger on…crazy as catsh!t. I can tell by the way he looks out of his eyes.
Hootie and the Blowfish are probably available.
Sorry, no…..the qualifications are “35 years of age and a native born U.S. citizen.
People use “qualification” in error when they mean “experience”, and Sarah Palin, I believe, beats Obama on both counts.
I keep waiting for something to happen with Huntsman. Can’t help but think a progressive puppeteer helps him sneak up from behind while we are all devouring our own candidates. It’s worrisome.
Sarah had me at ‘hockey mom’. My vote is hers to lose and that won’t be easy.
The Constitution still reads natural born, but native born was good enough for Barky. The founders knew the difference. Sad that we don’t.
You go, Sarah!
Hawkeye,
I know what you’re saying, but I draw a distinction between “qualification” and “eligibility”. You can be one without the other. Yes, it does have to do with experience.
Two-term California Governor Schwarzenegger may be qualified, but he’s not eligible.
My cousin, over 35 years old, born in America to citizen parents, has worked for the railroad since getting out of high school. He’s eligible, but not qualified.
Thank you for the fantastic advice, but I’m already a loooong time contributor and I am about to donate to Sarah’s One Nation Tour via clicking the link here on Michelle’s site. ;o)
Alright!
When it comes to Palin, ignore the ‘experts’
Should she run, Palin will be unconventional — like a guerrilla insurgent fighting against the Redcoats. The experts can point to the number of soldiers against her, the training and weapons they have at their disposal, their nice uniforms, etc. — but the problem is they all march in a line. They are fighting an old-style fight. Palin believes the world has changed — that the old rules no longer matter. She may be right or wrong, but either way, the fact that she’s not checking off the traditional boxes shouldn’t be cited as evidence that she isn’t running.
By the way, sometimes an unpredictable opponent is the most dangerous. There’s a great scene in the movie “Bull Durham” where baseball catcher “Crash” Davis (played by Kevin Costner) tells dangerously-wild pitcher “Nuke” LaLoosh (Tim Robbins) to intentionally hit the team’s mascot with a pitch. (This, of course, serves to make opposing hitters believe Laloosh is either crazy — or cannot control his very fast pitches) Costner then looks at the batter and says: “I wouldn’t dig in if I was you. Next one might be at your head. I don’t know where it’s gonna go. Swear to God.”
That’s probably good advice for Palin’s rivals and the so-called experts who think they are so sure she’s not going to run. (I don’t know what she’s going to do. Swear to God.)

Looks scientific. Plus the added bonus that Palin is the only FoxNews employee on that. Hmmm….
Respectfully, I’m not sure that everyone will see it that way, since now he’s been President and she didn’t complete her term as governor. But, who knows? Time will tell.
The difference between Palin and Obama is simple and stark. Palin is not a serial liar.
I want integrity back. All good things flow from that.
Does anyone here believe that it is a coincidence that Giuliani is “leading in the polls” (using an expansive poll that includes everyone running and not running) the day after Palin starts her country tour? The only reason Giuliani runs is to isolate her. He is a stalking horse for whatever Assistant Democrat the GOP elites end up backing.
Barry quit his job as Senator to run for pres.
Maybe I should add…
He choose to quit, she was forced to through law suits inflicted by the dems.
The law has since been changed so they can’t do that again.
Pravda only tells you she quit, not the reason behind it, or why it was her only choice, makes the dems look like the piece of crap that they are.
Ammunition for the firearms listed above.
Exactly. With a record of what he’s done.
He’s even trying to put a shine on the auto-bailout. Only one failure, at the tax payers expense.
This is simply more smoke and mirrors from the “Smoke and Mirrors” administration, now engaged in pre-election image burnishing. In fact, the payback (someone call Debbie Wasserman Shultz) involves allowing a foreign auto company to take more control of Chrysler and then tossing a loan for 3.5 billion from government on top of the Fiat purchase of Chrysler stock at a reduced price.
They want you to believe this signals a stronger and profitable Chrysler. In fact, it is a pathetic attempt to fool the public.
Oh, and Barry plans to make this “success” a centerpiece of his 2012 campaign.
http://hotair.com/greenroom/archives/2011/05/27/the-fake-chrysler-loan-payoff/
Of course we disagree on the best candidate; my question was only how things will be perceived by the general public. As I say, of course I don’t know for sure.
Right. The general public is spoon fed BS by Pravda.
Palin has to run against the dems, the estab. repubs. (rinos) and Pravda. (she kicked the estab. repubs. @ss in Alaska) If I were Palin, I think I would pass on the angst. She’s a better women than me.
If you read #240 above, it explains some of this to you.
You can read more about her at
conservatives4palin.com if you’re interested.
As Flyoverman said, she’s not a fraud and serial liar.
How do y’all think Michelle Bachmann compares to Sarah Palin? I ask because I think people will compare them a lot, since they’re both women and both seem very appealing to Tea Partiers.
Mittens, Huntsman, Newt, TPaw, Santorum,Rudy all Old White Fart Rinos
Palin ,Cain, and Bachmann (I like Michelle, not sure how she’ll hold up under extreme heat)
Fighters are what we need.
Thunderdome politics: two arguments enter, one argument leaves.

Bracewell & Giuliani LLP announced the opening of its office in Dubai, United Arab Emirates today. The Dubai office will be led by partner David M. Stockwell, a 25-year resident and legal practitioner and a former senior United States diplomat in residence there.

Giuliani is a hardcore one-world-without-borders globalist. Bracewell-Giuliani has been at the forefront of fighting for open borders and amnesty. The only reason Giuliani is running is as a spoiler for the GOP RINO candidate with only one assignment: take down Palin.
When he was asked last November on the day after the elections if he would run, he stated that he is thinking about it but would wait to see what Palin does. He was also very condescending about the Tea Party movement.
