This bus tour?
“but that non-candidacy bus tour of hers was for what purpose?”
Her fans on FR were convinced that once she got the bus, it was a sure sign that she was running. As one who never bought into the Palin worship, I felt she was going to run at that point too...why else would you paint a bus and go on a tour? So people on both ends of the Palin spectrum came to the same conclusion but it didn’t happen. Your question is a good one. I am sure someone will say that Palin ‘brilliantly’ planned this for some reason.
Ahh, the Da Vinci bus. Memories of pure ridiculousness. How anyone bought into that sort of thing I will never know.
Hey whatever happened to the Palin Iowa caucus write-in campaign? That appears to have fizzled pretty badly. Even more money sunk into the bottomless pit of a non-campaign.
This bus tour?
I saw that she had no organized campaign, no staff and no ground-pounders.
I saw that she made no attempt to start getting onto the individual states’ primaries.
And I told the members of the Church of the G-d Queen that. Only to be spurned as a heretic, a dog, a vile beast only fit to burn in the fires of hell for my lack of faith.
I'll never forget it, or them.
I'll never forget their unthinking, unquestioning adulation, where she could do no wrong, either.
And it reinforced my belief that America, both right and left, is ripe for a demagogue to seize control. Obama was the left’s first try.
Seeing all this from supposedly rational, thinking Freepers shows how easy it would be for us to put up a demagogue as well.
AND you would be stupid! She never promised that nor even suggested a run, merely a vacation, but you dupes faked yourselves out and made asses of yourselves in the process!!
