Cindy Sheehan is ready to rumble with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Talk about clash of the lefties. Not much sunshine between the two, as far as policy. They are both cut-and-runners; they both support abortion; they both despise our military. BUT, Sheehan thinks she could force the rest of Congress to sign on to a premature pullout from Iraq just as American troops have broken downt the terrorists there. And she’s steamed that Mrs. Pelosi hasn’t stopped the war.
Before Sheehan spends another minute campaigning, she should read the Constitution. There is ONE commander in chief. The president. That would be Dubya, Cindy. So get over it.
The San Francisco Chronicle published an article on Sheehan filing her official papers:
Sheehan was at San Francisco City Hall on Friday to take out papers for her independent run for Congress, but without those signatures from voters in the district, her name won’t show up on the ballot.
“It’s an uphill battle,” said Sheehan, who vowed to run against Pelosi in July after the speaker refused to start impeachment proceedings against President George Bush. “But I’m excited about the signature-gathering process. It’s going to be an opportunity to talk to people about our campaign.”
I suppose Sheehan will get the signatures she needs. After all, San Francisco has some of the fruitiest, misisnformed, unbathed, twisted thinkers in the world. Next to Berkeley, home of the hate-Marine brigade, San Francisco really is in line for the highest concentration of America-haters in the country.
But Pelosi isn’t much bothered by this. More from the Chronicle:
Getting on the ballot will be the easy part for Sheehan. If she becomes a recognized candidate, she’ll be challenging one of the best-known and most powerful Democrats in the country in Pelosi, a 10-term incumbent who routinely collects around 80 percent of the vote in the San Francisco-only district.
Election challenges are nothing new to Pelosi, who has faced token Republican opposition in most of her November races, along with occasional primary challenges. But since she beat former San Francisco Supervisor Harry Britt in the 1987 special election to replace the late Rep. Sala Burton, Pelosi’s political resume has been short of opponents anyone other than local political junkies has ever heard of.
Sheehan’s run is sheer madness. Can you imagine the TV ads? Pictures of her coddling madman Hugo Chavez with the words “The Peace Mom says: Democracy is overrated.”

Sheehan was at San Francisco City Hall on Friday to take out papers for her independent run for Congress, but without those signatures from voters in the district, her name won’t show up on the ballot.She's had 10 months to gather signatures to get on the ballot, but didn't do so.
Another publicity stunt.
ROFLMAO!! Well that makes it clear that her “campaign” is only with gullible dupes in the MSM who might give her more ink..... she doesn’t actually have a snowball’s chance......
This hag is still around? And still getting media attention?

Cindy “Mother Peacecreep” Sheehan probably thinks being speaker goes with Nancy’s seat if she somehow won!
Oh my, those pictures of cindy are so sad they are making me upset........... oh wait, it was just gas.............. I feel better now. cindy, you are a loser, go away.
I hope Cindy is a huge pain to stretch Pelosi. After all, Pelosi and the other RATS did promise to end the war and to lower gas prices if they were elected. I don't see any accomplishments the RATS have made. NONE!
Cindy serves one good here, publicly calling out Nancy over ending the war. After all, didn't our illustrious speaker promise to get our troops out straight away and lower gas prices? How long has she been our Speaker now? Hmmmm, I paid $3.59/gal last week and I don't see troops returning en masse. Nancy, care to comment? Oh, wait, she's too busy traveling the world and replenishing the fresh flowers in her offices. Perhaps she misconstrued Speaker of the House duties with those of World Diplomat at large?
