I have it but I won't be home tonight.
Sheehan's "Terri Schiavo" rant:
http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig6/sheehan3.html
Shocking to read, actually.
Everything is all about her, isn't it?
Secondly, given all his speeches and various statements, neither of those two quotes fit President Bush's thinking on Iraq at all. He had made his case time and time again, and the American people endorsed the President's view on Iraq (and not some unnamed "senior" official) last year on November 2nd.
You lost, America won, get over it, i.e, MOVEON!
Please do understand we've all heard your argument and seriously disagree. We too have thought it through and come to an opposite conclusion.
"So what were the hypocrites in DC doing while much of the country was working for peace
either at rallies, marches, or candlelight vigils?" Cindy Sheehan
Actually no Cindy, the ones "working" for peace are the very ones you classify as having been robbed at gun point from their cradles, or their Mama's breast and forced to go to a terror torn country. The very ones you dishonor every time you open your mouth or stage one of your mocking and humiliating rallies. Grow up, you have been a mother for long enough for your son to have defied your control and manipulation, and died as a hero, It's high time you acted like one. How about honoring HIM for a change, instead of your own face on a tv screen, or the sound of your own voice.
My guess is, when he was young, if his sports team lost a game, that was all about you too.
I'm in Florida so I won't be able to make the caravan.
I had this idea....what if some police volunteered to give the Caravan an escort so they could race ahead ?!!
Did you see this on your local news?

Protestors stay put, Bush supporters move in
Updated: Aug 19, 2005 4:51pm
Despite an offer from a local rancher to relocate Camp Casey, anti-war protest are staying put and President Bush got a little support of his own Friday.
More than 100 people converged on Crawford to support the Commander-In-Chief. They came to Crawford from all over the country, marching with a message for the president: "Cindy Sheehan doesn't speak for all of us," said Bush supporter Debi Bohannon.
Eve Tidwell says, "We have no reason to drop the morale of those troops over there by having someone on the news over and over and over again saying her son died for nothing."
Meanwhile, at Camp Casey, protestors marched, praying for the president, our soldiers and humanity. Some families told stories of their soldiers who died in action. Friday was supposed to be moving day for them, but organizers say a lack of space and media scrutiny ended plans to move to a spot five miles down the road. Instead, they'll use both sites.
Ann Wright says, "We are not moving anywhere. Our demands are not moved, our location is not moved."
That's until August 31st, when the president heads back to Washington.
Cindy Sheehan left Crawford Thursday after her mother suffered a stroke. There's no word on her mother's condition or if Sheehan will return to Crawford before the end of the month.
STORY BY DAWNICA JACKSON
It is strange. Guess they are trying to drum up local 'anti' support to counter the 'pro' people who are coming from all parts of the country. But they won't get their money's worth, this is Bush country, so far anyway.
Few Americans realize or remember that they live in the greatest country in the world and, as you said, we have paid a very dear price for our freedom.
It is certainly manifesting as narcissism...
BTTT
Nevermind that they are invariably anti-American Democrats that we have to work with.
Bump
Phil you da man! :D
Ironic you posted this. Just today I emailed the folks at KCEN TV all the links to the Move America Forward sponsored caravan and rally on Sat. Aug. 27th.
Looks like Ms. Sheehan is planning to return to Crawford on Wednesday -
