If Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) refuses to bring articles of impeachment against President Bush to the floor of the House, anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan said Monday, Sheehan not only will challenge the Speaker in the next election but also will defeat her.
Discussing President Bush and Vice President Cheney, Sheehan said, “We put them there. We can fire them. If Nancy Pelosi doesn't do her constitutionally mandated job by midnight tonight, tomorrow I will announce that I'm going to run against her.
“And not only am I going to run against her, but I will beat her,” Sheehan added.
A spokesman for Pelosi, Nadeam Elshami, said the Speaker and House Democrats are working toward their goals this Congress and would not address Sheehan’s proclamation.
“The Speaker and House Democrats are focused on ending the war in Iraq, holding the Bush administration accountable and delivering a new direction for the American people,” Elshami said. “Those are the priorities of the Speaker and the Democrats.”
Sheehan seized the anti-war spotlight during her extended protest outside the president’s ranch in Crawford, Texas in 2005, after her 24-year-old son, Casey, was killed in Iraq. Speaking at a demonstration at Arlington National Cemetery, Sheehan argued that it is Pelosi’s constitutional obligation to impeach the president.
“The administration has abused our soldiers. They've abused our freedoms,” Sheehan said. “They have killed my son and countless others. And they must be held accountable.
“Impeachment is not a fringe movement. It is mandated in our Constitution. Nancy Pelosi had no authority to take it off the table,” Sheehan said.
he Left is forming at last, a circular firing squad.Don't fire 'til you see the whites of their eyes!

Who is bankrolling this moron? We need to follow the money — although the thought of Cindy and Nancy duking it out would be fun.
[Cindy]Sheehan: I will beat Speaker Pelosi

Is that a camel on Jesse’s back?
I don't want to look and try and count toes, if you know what I mean.
Please, there are people eating breakfast....
Agreed but just had to state the facts.
Being ugly she already won hands down.
But what this says about SF is more disturbing than is immediately apparant,
because that’s what her voice always sounds like....
Oh, sorry. I believe that one Hillary Rodham Clinton has a copyright on that name.
In terms of competence and grasp of issues, there would not be much difference. The citizens of California almost deserve it. I wish it would come to that.
Since a Republican can’t get elected in Washington, finally the Evergreen State Freepers will have a campaign they can get involved in. Can you just imagine the campaign slogans for Cindy, against Nancy, that Freepers can come up with?
She might just be the most sane person in the Rat Party???
Pray for W and Our Troops
The state of Washington? I thought the district Pelosi represents is in San Francisco?
