I have not yet weighed in on Cindy Sheehan on FR. However I think what is going on is quite sad. What we are all witnessing is a woman melting down in front of the national media. And people who have no scruples like Michael Moore are taking advantage of Sheehan's meltdown, for their own political gain. The statements from Sheehan herself are becoming more and more deranged. Like the idea that a neighbor of President Bush was firing his shot gun to intimidate the protesters. I think this guy was firing his shot gun, because like most folks he was tired of having a rabble camped outside of his property.

Leftists use people because they feel superior, believing they know best.

Ms Sheehan is no different.

I wouldn't want to be stranded in an elevator or down in a fox hole with any of them.

Today's Democrat Party is identified more by what it is against than by what it is for, making it a reactionary party.

Spot on! Look at any of the recent Democrat campaigns and you see fear and victimhood. Their campaigns are designed to scare people into voting Democrat. "If the Republicans win, such and such will happen to you". It is never about hope with a vision to the future and how the Democrats can help to create that future. The Party creates victim groups, women, gays, blacks, other minorities, the elderly and even subgroups within those, and then tailors its message of fear to that group.

"Casey Sheehan's sacrifice for his country doesn't oblige the rest of us to suffer, in silence, his mother's ranting"

Nails it.

If you observe this spectacle truly a train wreck of a Family and the debasement of their Son's death. Cindy's Divorce from a Liberal Democrat Husband her other Son pleading for her to come home. You cannot but be energized with the understanding that this is the mindset of the "Progressives" in the Democratic Party. They will exploit anyone,tell any lie, commit any crime, even treason to get back into power. Their allies in the Media will also tell any lie to support the party line. They are unfit to govern again. More of us who are Democrats have broken ranks with our party and voted Republican.

As our party gave us no other option. And are acting more and more unhinged, insane,angry, and incapable of rational thought. It is all about them. Their feelings their wants the country be damned. This is good news for the Republicans. Sadly they cannot see this our even fathom it.
The more they engage in this type of deception the more they dig their own grave.
