Dems hit Sheehan candidacy

A local Democratic Club has criticized the decision by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan to run against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

"If you continue with this threat to embarrass the speaker, it is very possible that the voters will turn against the Democratic leadership in Congress and return the Republicans to the majority," stated a letter written by J. Paton Marshall, corresponding secretary for the Robert F. Kennedy Democratic Club.

"If that happens, all investigations will cease and justice for Bush and Cheney will be impossible," the letter stated.

The club endorsed and then published the letter in its August newsletter, said John Smith, club president.

Sheehan, whose 24-year-old son, Casey, was killed in Iraq in 2004, announced her candidacy Thursday.

"The country is ripe for a change," said Sheehan, who spoke at a podium with her son's photograph attached to it. "It's going to start right here and right now."

Sheehan said she would run on a platform of universal health care. She also wants to make college affordable and improve ethics in the legislative and executive branches.

Smith on Friday compared Sheehan's candidacy and attacks by progressives on other Democrats to a circular firing squad.

"We can't sit here and shoot at ourselves," Smith said. "We are not the obstruction. Even though (Sheehan) wants impeachment, it's not going to happen. It takes two-thirds of the Senate."

Instead of attacking other Democrats, progressives should be attacking Republicans who have blocked efforts to pull American forces out of Iraq, Smith said.

In addition, you can go to your local Democratic congressional member and ask how you can help them, Smith said.

I would have expected her to have Casey’s name tattooed on the sole of her foot, not the ankle.

ROTFLMAO!

“If that happens, all investigations will cease and justice for Bush and Cheney will be impossible,” the letter stated.

Bush and Cheney are a priori guilty of criminal conduct and justice will be denied unless the kangaroo court remains intact. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. God these people are Stooooopid.

Again we are reminded of the fact that we did this to ourselves. Yes there were GOPers who were shiite heads and a few crooks, but the holier than thou ash holes who ‘just couldn’t vote for a Republican because a Republican Congressman in Florida was light in the loafers’ and Duke Cunningham was a crook, brought us here with their childish over reaction. So here we sit. We have American aliens, born in America but not OF America casually talking about carrying out a coupe like they have in some south American dung heap. To all those who stayed home or voted rat: take a real close look at what you brought us to.

If you continue with this threat to embarrass the speaker...

Cindy shouldn't run because it would 'embarrass' Pelosi? That needs some splaining.

[river rat]

Sheehan is the media whore Frankenstein creation of the far left lunatic fringe of the Democrat party...

It is THEY who thrust this bitch in a ditch to the forefront of their “campaign” to embarrass and defeat America...

It is poetic justice that her ugly countenance has become the true face and symbol of their “movement”, a movement not unlike that which most folks sit upon a toilet to accomplish....

Even though (Sheehan) wants impeachment, it’s not going to happen. It takes two-thirds of the Senate.”

No, conviction takes 2/3rds of the Senate. Impeachment occurs in the House. But you wouldn’t expect a Democrat to know that.

[saganite]

Your line is getting a little old. Time to give it a rest.

[davidosborne]

Where do I send my check to the Cindy Sheehan Campaign?

[Northern Yankee]

If you continue with this threat to embarrass the speaker...

Ahhh... no.... Nancy has already embarrassed herself without the aide of Cindy.

[freekitty]

It’s a toss up between Cindy and myself as to who the worst embarrassment is.

[SmoothTalker]

I’m starting to feel sorry for the woman. Its clear she should be in a mental institution receiving proper care.
