Sarah Palin’s political mystery tour
Politico ^ | 05/29/2011 | Andy Barr

Posted on 05/29/2011 5:47:21 AM PDT by Hawk720

The New Hampshire Republican Party found out Sarah Palin would be coming to town by hearing about it in the news.

Where would she be stopping? They didn’t know. Palin’s staff wouldn’t even return their calls, leaving them to ask reporters for more answers.

And they’re not alone: With hours to go before Palin’s bus tour is supposed to begin, it’s still unclear what she’ll be doing when she gets to the first stop. It’s even more of a mystery what her second stop will be.

Or when.

Or why.

Once again, the former vice presidential nominee has proven she can tilt the political world on its axis in an instant. This past week, it was Tim Pawlenty, Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann who took their campaigns to Iowa, but it was the news of Palin’s bus tour that really had people talking. A simple announcement on her website, and she got all the attention, all the interest.

“Driving the Libs crazy ! I love it.”

True - but I do find it more than a little strange that the ‘tour’ starts today, and aside from the slick video, there is absolutely no information about the tour on the wesbite. There are no speaking appearances announced. It’s just strange.

Driving the RINO’s crzy too. LOve it.

One thing she isn’t doing is professing a loyalty to a party that just wants her gone.

Republicans have done every thing they can to screw over Sarah, why should she tell them what she is doing so they can bad mouth her again.

I like this woman. I will vote for her.

The libmedia turds are in full panic mode. They definitely did not see this coming. And it ruins their 2 year old meme(s): Palin is not running, she has little political support, she’s lost her luster, blah blah blah...

Maybe its not about her but about where she visits. All historical places that have become obsolete to the media and our children. This will bring interest, hopefully. Just a thought

they been saying for the past year that she’s not running because she don’t want to give up her brand or money making ability. Its all about money.

They don’t know Sarah. She care about the country and will give it up to save the country

In the movie “Patton”, after Patton had pivoted and broken free of the hedgerows and was making his dash across France on his way to Germany; back in the command trailer while looking at a map, Gen. Beadle commented: ‘You’d think George would at least have the courtesy to tell us where he’s going’.... :-/

I don’t believe she’s running anything but interference for the candidate she will ultimately endorse....who won’t be a RINO. She will bring excitement & enthusiasm to an otherwise boring political season!

(And don’t bother accusing me of being a Palin-hater or a lib - because both would be a lie.)

Right and instead of announcing where she is going, she reduces the media to reporting daily where she went.

The Republican “party” would just get in her way if it knew her plans. Loose lips sink ships.

Not even the group whose event she’s crashing on Sunday knows exactly where and when to expect her.

We're back to this? She's "crashing" Rolling Thunder?

Maybe Politico hadn't heard, she was invited.

Eh, my mistake. I keep forgetting that Politico is to Obama what Baghdad Bob was to Saddam Hussein.

Like Patton, Sarah marches to the beat of her own drummer.

The book I want?

A book written by her Dad, my guess is he is the influence in her life ( and G_d ) that gave her the I can do anything attitude.

Man think of the generation of women that will use her as a roll model if she does become POTUS. The NOW gang is very saddened....

Better yet wait until Saudi Women and Women in the Arab world start using her as a roll model, and start telling the Mullah's and the dysfunctional men in their lives ( most of them ) essentially up yours.

The attitude of Gretchen Wilson's "Red Neck Women" influences the Middle Eastern Women what a concept....

Sarah riding a motorcycle at an American event vs. TOTUS (Mike Dukakis) riding a bicycle, learning how to use an umbrella, or hanging window treatments. Tough Memorial Day choice on spotting the American.

Looks like the RATS want to know ever move she makes. For control purposes I would assume. I’m with her, I’m just about done with both parties. Of course the dems have been dead to me for a long time. But, most of the entrenched RATS are just as bad or almost as bad as the dems.

You are right.
According to the email I received, she will be visiting historical sites around the country. If I see her tour bus driving around you can bet I'll be following it to it's next destination. Go Sarah!!
