My Comment: A very liberal Democrat friend of mine (yes, I know some of those) who always participates in the Rolling Thunder bike rally text me the following message on Sunday .....
.... saw Sarah Palin today. Crowd went wild when she past by. I was even clapping.
And Chris Matthews thinks she is stupid?
On a personal note ..... what I will always remember about Rolling Thunder (and is etched in my brain .... probably forever) happened last year when a lone marine stood at attention (for God knows how long) saluting each and every passing bike. See video below.
The "lone Marine" is Ssgt Tim Chambers and he has stood at attention and saluting the riders for the past 8 years. He stands there for about 7 hours, in pain eventually, but never waivers.
