Sarah Palin to Re-Launch Bus Tour in Iowa Tomorrow

Source: ABC News

ABC News has confirmed that Sarah Palin will re-launch her “One Nation” bus tour in Iowa tomorrow, the same day that Republican presidential contenders will take the stage for a debate in Ames, Iowa.

A SarahPAC fundraising email obtained by ABC News details the former Alaska governor’s plans to “meet folks at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines this week.”

“The heartland is perfect territory for more of the One Nation Tour as we put forth efforts to revitalize the fundamental restoration of America by highlighting our nation's heart, history, and founding principles,” Palin writes in the email. “State fairs hold a special place in our nation's history and heritage, so my family is honored to highlight one of them on one stop along the One Nation Tour route - America's historic Iowa State Fair! (I'm also excited to try some of that famous fried butter-on-a-stick, fried cheesecake-on-a-stick, fried twinkies, etc. I'll enjoy them in honor of those who'd rather make us just ‘eat our peas!’)”

A source with knowledge of the trip told ABC News that plans for an Iowa visit have been in place since at least Tuesday. As of this morning, only about four people besides Palin knew about the trip. The source also said that a handful of Iowa GOP members and elected officials were notified about the trip minutes before the SarahPAC email went out.

Here she is taking off!

Go, Sarah!!!

you made my day after a long and boring meeting, I am going home LOL

I still think her last tour was dropped for the hasty wedding of the parents of her new grandchild.

re-quit!

Does anyone take her seriously anymore?

We didn't really think she'd let Crazy-Eyes Bachmann steal the spotlight, did we?

because Obama told her to eat peas :silly:

She needs the money, so its time to get on the bus and pimp more idiots.

by the gallon!

2012 to 2014 1/2.

:rofl:

to get some popcorn.

:popcorn: :D

Oh, who am I kidding -- I KNOW that she's looking at Wisconsin as some kind of good omen!

:headbang:
rocktivity

And didn't she do this to Romney already?

the media @#$%& sure hates to see another Repuke candidate in the spotlight.

someone else might be getting more attention than her.


Hat tip to bureaucrap @ Wonkette for that one.

She's such a joke. :rofl:

a few more million before she retreats to her hidey-hole...wherever it is now.

What a waste of gas.

"attention whore" suits that individual to a T.

She apparently has not a shred of shame.

She also doesn't 'get' that her bus has left the station already. No one watched her TV reality show, no one went to her shitty movie, and she's about as popular as a mighty sulfurous fart in a very small taxicab...in deepest winter.

minutes of media attention, she will be perfectly happy with the deal.

It's not as though she has any ability to feel embarrassed, no matter how embarrassing the situation gets. That is, after all, the very definition of "shameless," and she is certainly that.

US road trips have well & truly jumped the shark.

because the Caribou Barbie-worshipers hate gummint and taxes so much. :eyes:

She said as she walked up the gangway to the sinking ship.

I hope Tom Toles steals that one from me. I can't do it justice.

What bunch of carbon dioxide emissions.

Maybe I'm just cantankerous, but people who say "crick" instead of "creek", and people who use the term "heartland" should just be put through a food processor.

I wasn't any where near the quitter.

The Grifter Queen goes on the road again to hit up her gullible base or whatever is left of it.

i want to see her at a gop debate sooooo bad. comedy fodder for years!

a good portion of our country thinks stupidity is a good thing.

At least those republican candidates have declared and are actually running, unlike Palin who tries to step all over them at every turn without entering into the race. She's a flipping poseur with a bus looking to fleece some bucks from the deluded. She pulled a stunt like this with Romney up in NE awhile back IIRC.

the podium and whisper responsed to her.

There's no there there.

Close your border with the Hawkeye State. Dont let anyone with the last name of PAlIN cross over.

Must be a glitch... :shrug:

Sarah Palin to Re-Launch Bus Tour in Iowa Tomorrow

:silly: :hide:

Didn't she do that already and then just quit and go home? Maybe next she'll decide to finish out her term as governor... :crazy: :hi:

:hi:

:shrug: :hi:

Personally I hope she gets the nomination. She just doesn't have the stamina that Bachmann has.

She'd quit on the way home from the convention... :eyes: :hi:

It's so special to know we have a plant in the 'thug organization... oh, wait, two plants. I forgot about Michele.

Take a couple why don't you? Want some deep fried Twinkies, too?
Don't hold back now

A video, posted on the SarahPAC website mentions no specific stops, but it makes references to Harry Truman and Abraham Lincoln, who were from Missouri and Illinois respectively, fueling the speculation that Palin will take her bus tour through those Midwestern states.

Palin's voice narrates a series of bucolic images, including small town parades and farms, though the audio is from her speech at the 2008 Republican convention. "We grow good people in our small towns...they love their country in good times and bad, and they are always proud of America," she said. (watch the video at left)

But the planned visit to the Iowa State fair has gotten the most attention. The state fairgrounds are less than an hour south of Ames, the site of this weekend's Iowa straw poll and the unofficial kickoff of the Republican primary season.

Palin is not on the ballot there, but her visit threatens to overshadow the weekend's events, including a debate Thursday night with nearly every Republican candidate, including Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman, who are also not part of the straw poll itself. Saturday's straw poll event could be a make-or-break moment for candidates like Tim Pawlenty or Michele Bachmann, who have been traveling Iowa constantly over the last few weeks and are relying on a strong showing for a necessary momentum boost for their campaigns.

And according to the email, it appears that Palin is hoping to step on President Obama's swing through Iowa next week, rather than on the GOP candidates who have been campaigning throughout the state.

Unlike next week's Obama Bus Tour, taxpayers aren't funding our tour, which is why we so appreciate your support in allowing us to be out there on the open road to visit with you to highlight small towns, big-hearted people, and the important role they play in our most exceptional nation.

Palin's announcement also comes with this video -- which cites her 2008 convention speech:

Long ago a young farmer and a haberdasher from Missouri, he followed an unlikely path to the vice presidency and a writer observed we grow good people in our small towns with honesty and sincerity and dignity and I know just the kind of people that writer had in mind. I grew up with those people. They're the ones who do some of the hardest work in America - who grow our food and run our factories and fight our wars. They love their country in good times and bad and they're always proud of America.

Palin dear, you do know Harry Truman was a proud Democrat who would see right through your shallowness?

Harry S. Truman's home town, and mine, too. This is not a small town, we have over 100.000 residents. Please don't let her come here, our crime rate is high enough. I am certain that President Truman would not have suffered any of this clown's b.s., as he did not hate calling Republicans out on their lies.

Just in case she does, though, does anyone have any good suggestions of how we should welcome her to town? I work three blocks from the Truman home, she would have to pass right by my huge parking lot to get to the Truman home, which is a national park. President Obama drove past on his way to the Truman home area in 2008.

This Repuke primary is going to prove just how dishonest these folks are. The Grifter, Perry - Next Trump shows up. And Rush takes credit.

What a crew.

Go Away Sarah!

michelle bachman has cornered that market now.

is the slogan used by the Australia Bigot Party Pauline Hansen who campaigned on a racist platform - just noting.

I can NOT fucking believe it.
She has no shame, none.

What the hell did people see in her anyway???

I sure hope she checks for water on Mars. As Texas is having a severe drought.

Too bad the idiot Governor of Texas will consume all the oxygen this weekend.

:eyes:

I hope...

Everyone but her knows her 15 minutes are waaayyy up.

The grifter is back in town!

"The Nitwit is coming, the Nitwit is coming!"
