Sheehan: Let's get away from usual party politics
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | July 22, 2007 | Cindy Sheehan

Posted on 07/22/2007 9:47:15 AM PDT by KingofZion

The feedback I have been receiving since I announced that I would challenge U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, for her House seat -- unless she gives impeachment the go-ahead -- has been running about 3-to-1 positive. *** I was frightened out of ever voting for a third party, or an independent candidate, but voting out of fear is one of the things that bestowed us with the Bush crime mob and may give us the Republican, if not in party affiliation, Hillary Clinton.

I was a lifelong Democrat only because the choices were limited. The Democrats are the party of slavery and were the party that started every war in the 20th century, except the other Bush debacle. The Federal Reserve, permanent federal income taxes, not one but two World Wars, Japanese concentration camps, and not one but two atom bombs dropped on the innocent citizens of Japan -- all brought to us via the Democrats.

Don't tell me the Democrats are our "saviors" because I am not buying it -- especially after they bought more caskets and more devastating pain when they financed and co-facilitated more of President Bush's abysmal occupation. The Democrats also are allowing a meltdown of our republic by allowing the evils of the executive branch to continue unrestrained by their silent complicity. *** I have nothing personally against Pelosi and have found our previous interactions very pleasant. However, being "against" the occupation of Iraq means ending it by ending the funding, preventing future illegal wars of aggression and holding BushCo accountable. Words have to be backed up by action, and if they aren't, they are as empty as Vice President Dick Cheney's conscience.

I hope she does run. That would force Pelosi to spend more time in San Francisco defending her own seat than raising money and campaigning against Republicans around the country. If by some miracle Cindy does win, we all have a new kook to look forward to in the Democratic party that in reality will be ignored but still provide great sound bytes..

Beware the tire slashers, Cindy.

Yeah! According to her account, they can run as fast as a car!

Only a moron like Shehag would blame America for a war that was started by Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. Every terrorist and war criminal is a victim of US aggression in the eyes of this loony buffoon. She believes that America can only be saved if it destroys its military and negotiates with its enemies. She’s too stupid to understand that our enemies want us dead.

Why stop at Pelosi’s seat? She needs to take this all the way to the White House! Run, Cindy; run!

Let’s say Cindy did win and brought up articles of impeachment. You need 2/3 majority in the Senate to convict, and since they won’t get a conviction, what happens then? Is the President protected from double jeopardy, or can the Dem’s play this silly game until the end of his term?

The nerve of this bitch.

She reminds me of Rodney King pleading "Can't we all just get along" on the eve of the LA riots that HE caused.

“Why stop at Pelosi’s seat?”

She has a real shot for it. Anything outside of Pelosi’s Dist. she couldn’t make dog catcher.

If Cindy were to win, she’d have about two weeks to impeach and convict President Bush as her term would not begin until the first week of January 2009. President Bush’s term expires January 20, 2009.

This was not supposed to be a private message. I accidentally clicked private reply. “He will be leaving office when she gets in.”

You sleep with the dogs you wake up with the fleas.

I think it is a rightful just due for the loons on the left.

As I've stated previously: if you court her, get her preggars, then you must marry her. Moonbat Mode has been enabled.

The candidacy is a public relations strategy to keep Cindy in the news, put pressure on the Democrats and to lower support for victory in the war.

The Democrats ... started every war in the 20th century, except the other Bush debacle.

So Gulf War I was a debacle? What a loon!
