Dole speaks to peace mom [Sheehan] about war

"She stays on the Republican message and gave the president's key talking points (and) she did not answer one question that I asked," Sheehan told the Winston-Salem Journal.

Politicians learn very early on how not to answer "When did you stop beating your wife?" type questions. Sheehan is just frustrated that her continued attempts to trap Republican politicians into "admitting" Bush is guilty and providing new soundbites for International A.N.S.W.E.R. aren't working.

Ya'll aint seen everything unless you have been called
into your commanding officer's office, because "mommy dearest" wrote a letter to the Red Cross complaining that she has not had any written communication from you since you deployed overseas.
That "mommy dearest" routinely screams and hangs up on you on during international phone calls is immaterial to the Red Cross, and your commanding officer...
Cindy Sheehan has attempted to dishonor her son, Casey Sheehan.
For that sin/criminal act, she will ultimately answer to God, and Casey.
When her eventual suicide is announced, do not act surprised!
OTOH, do not pity her.
She knew what she was doing was opposed to what her son was fighting and died for.
Cindy can burn in hell.
I am only sorry for Casey's soul.
That he had to watch his mother become one with the enemy that killed him.

I'm not in favor of running female candidates (I don't care about the feminist reaction to this!), but I am wondering if there has been any recent effort to draft Mrs. Dole for a 2008 presidential bid.

Not is I have any say so in it.

And honestly, even if Dole is trying to look "bipartisan," it's not going to help her one bit. Anyone who actually buys Sheehan's bilge at this point is a leftist who is going to vote against her, regardless of who is her opponent. So all that she's really accomplishing is the alienation of her base.

When will Reps quit trying to pacify liberals? It doesn't matter how nice they are, those liberals will NOT vote for them, so I don't know why they waste their time. I agree with you Phantom, about Dole meeting with that woman. When I heard that she wanted to meet with Dole while she was in Raleigh last month, I called Dole's office and told her I didn't want her to meet with her. Her assistant almost sounded embarrassed as she told me that there were a couple of NC people (who were Dole's constituents) who had asked her if she'd meet with Cindy. She said that all North Carolinians were Dole's constituents and she felt she needed to listen to all of them. I told her: First of all, Cindy Sheehan isn't one of her constituents and anyone who was a friend of or sympathetic to Sheehan wasn't one of her supporters and that she had better remember the people who put her in office and pay more attention to what they wanted, if she wanted to be re-elected.

The reason I said that is that I worked my tail off for Dole, in her campaign--working 14, 16 and 18 hours per day, 7 days per week, and volunteering at that and I didn't appreciate her giving legitimacy to this lunatic. This conversation took place 2 weeks ago and I'm just FRIED that she met with her. Shows where her loyalty is. I hate that I found out she met with her, because I will NOT try in any way to help her get re-elected. I've already been receiving notes from her about helping next time. Now, I will write her a note and let her know how I feel that she didn't respect her REAL constituents enough to ignore that crazy woman, because meeting with her, gives her an ounce of legitimacy.
