Sarah Palin Reportedly Quits Bus Tour Halfway Through
TPM ^ | June 22, 2011 | Jillian Rayfield

Posted on 06/22/2011 1:15:59 PM PDT by Daffynition

Former half-term Gov. Sarah Palin has reportedly packed in her bus tour...halfway through.

Real Clear Politics is reporting that Palin and her family have returned to Alaska from their "One Nation" bus tour, despite tentatively scheduled stops in Iowa and South Carolina.

From Scott Conroy at RCP:

Though Palin and her staff never announced a timeline for the remaining legs of her trip, aides had drafted preliminary itineraries that would have taken her through the Midwest and Southeast at some point this month. But those travel blueprints are now in limbo, RCP has learned, as Palin and her family have reverted to the friendly confines of summertime Alaska, where the skies are currently alight for over 19 hours a day and the Bristol Bay salmon fishing season is nearing its peak.

Palin's intent to visit Iowa and South Carolina, as well as one stop in New Hampshire, caused some speculation that she was starting to get serious about a run for president in 2012.

The bus tour was launched over Memorial Day weekend, and was particularly scrutinized after one event in Boston where Palin badly flubbed the story behind Paul Revere's ride.

So he warned the British by ringing those bells? (Her exact words). Yeah, stick with that. If so, Paul Revere was a traitor, not a patriot.

Obama has been running for re-election since the day after he was inaugurated but he only recently declared his candidacy. It is possible to run without officially declaring. When the deadline for officially declaring has passed, then you can assume Sarah Palin isn’t running.

Maybe she has come down from Heaven to save ..UH no...The only one that can *Save Us* is Jesus Christ and if anyone idol worships another human being, tthey wills ee the error of thier ways...

IMO Sarah Palin as a Conservative Christian is not going to run because she believes the Holy Word of GOD..These Last Days are in the hands of a Satanic Government Influence and the one who rids the Spirit of Antichrist on this world is Jesus Christ himself..no one else....

Hopefully people will really look to the one who is going to cure this world of it’s ills and it is not a Human Being no matter how much people wish it to be.....

I didn’t even criticize her, but was accused of it.

But, you were thinking something bad about her. Admit it!

He didn't say that and neither did Palin. Revere said the bells were being rung to warn the patriots and so did Palin. The bells were mentioned in order to let the British know that the game was up and the colonists were on to them. Take a reading comprehension course and try not to lie so much.

I didn’t twist anything, I posted an historian explaining Palin’s statement to PBS.

A historian that they chose themselves.

What do you hope to accomplish by trolling on Palin threads?

Of course not. That’s the point. Neither do all the pro-Palin freepers.

Care to show me any polling data from NH? NY?

Care to place a bet on the NY primary? or PA? or NJ? Or CT? or DE? of VT? or MD?

Good post -- thanks, because it will be a good short-cut for future reference. And we know that those who want to think Palin "flubbed" will cling to the lie even when actual historians back her up. When it's a liberal, that's one thing ... but I've read quite a few posts by FReepers -- supposedly fellow conservatives -- who insist that "No matter how you cut it, Palin flubbed." Even though she got it right according to a historian on PBS, for Pete's sake!

As Palin might say, "Unflippingbelievable."

It wasn’t clear to you that I presented that as something I didn’t agree with, that worshiping her as a goddess was not something I could get on board with?
