Sarah Palin rolls into D.C. — on a motorcycle?

Dontcha’ know, Sarah Palin is coming to town this weekend, and you may see her cruising the streets of D.C. on the back of a hog.

The former Alaska governor, who is the subject of a lot of overheated speculation about whether she will run for president in 2012, has accepted an invitation to participate in the annual Rolling Thunder memorial ride this Sunday, an official says.

“As far as I know, she is trying to rent a motorcycle, so she can ride with her husband,” said Nancy Regg, a spokeswoman for Rolling Thunder.

Gregg says the tentative plan is for Palin to join up with the ride at the Pentagon at 7 a.m. The ride kicks off at noon, and hundreds of bikers will snake through D.C. to the event’s main stage, which will be between the Reflecting Pool and the Korean War Veterans Memorial on the Mall. The program is scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m.

Gregg said Palin is currently not scheduled to speak at the event and watchers should not expect any type of “political statement” from Palin during Rolling Thunder.

She's not electable for a number of reasons, including being Quayled on SNL, the Couric interview, abrupt resignation, only two years of experience as governor, lack of specifics in issues and general lack of intellectual curiosity. She is the quintessential candidate for those preferring style over substance and those seeking and seeing what in reality is not there.

But, I will give her one thing. Her followers have a cultist, messianic passion for her, similar to the followers of Al Queda. But, her zealots will not overcome her high negatives she has with the general population.

I hope she rides her own bike if she does it.
They always call riding in back riding B&%ch and she doesn’t need that BS press from the left.

Seriously, not joking.

There were pictures here with GWBush accepting a present from the organizers.

I bet there is even one with clinton.

I found lots of pics of Bush43 with Rolling Thunder, but I haven't found a single Clinton/Rolling Thunder pic.

I can’t fathom Obama ever being part or supporting anything which supports the military. I imagine the troops have to be ordered to applaud and not make faces for obama.

Just believe everything Christine Matthews tells you.

You obviously don't talk to anyone outside of your pro-Palin circle. Maybe you should get out more.

You are going to be stunned at the breadth and depth of her "following."

Yup. Even my wife is coming over.

I'd rather lose and go down swinging with Palin than lose with a whimper with state-controlled media's hand-picked RINO.

You're right.

We can't nominate anybody that they make fun of.

After all, a Tina Fey quote is the same thing as a Sarah Palin quote.

Well said. I share that very thought...although the losing part is a fantasy made up by the drive by media.

However, I'd bet that the press would keep their powder dry during the primaries, so they could blow her out of the water during the general.

I wouldn't bet on that.

They have been attacking her since day one.

Not just the MSM.

Rove, Cameron (before she surged in popularity, Carl Cameron gave a hateful little monologue insulting Palin), Hannity (he will provide the venue anyway), O'Reilly (hates women, treats them condescendingly, tried to loofah one, paid her off, hush money) Romney's people (spread lies about Palin, probably still are) McCain's people (ditto the Romney treatment, even while she was VP nominee) and it goes on and on.

Sarah Palin is the greatest threat to the established beltway GOPers ever to come along. Not to mention the beltway dems.

They will (and are) work(ing) together to use what ever dirty vicious hateful tricks they can conjure up to get her out of the way.

Restoring the USA to the Constitutional Republic it is declared to be would put them out of business. (you know, tax, graft, waste, cronyism, etc etc)

The dems know she is the only one that can defeat the anchor baby Present Obama, so they are doing all they can to destroy her.

Plus the handful of clueless FR posters that repeat the mantra that she can't be elected doesn't help either.

Her enemies (who scour FR day and night) will pick out a dozen or so of those posts to "prove" that Free Republic doesn't support Palin.

Kinda like little man big ego O'Reilly pulled some stuff off of FR to "prove" it is a hate site.

I think he did that because FR exposed him for what a horrible person he is some years ago.

I put "all" in the "to" field because I kinda went on and on...

imagine the positive voter imaging of her on the bike with her husband. for her to ride along is like distancing herself from Mr. Palin.
