Reply #74: This Truly Hurts [View All]

[KharmaTrain]

I was a longtime Cindy supporter. I still donate regularly to Gold Star Mothers for Peace and will continue to do so...but I think Cindy's fallen to some very bad advice that has made her lose focus on what brought us all together. Rosa Park didn't attempt to sit in cause the Civil Right movement didn't move fast enough...she remained a symbol of defiance. Sheehan served a purpose as a symbol of the suffering this invasion has brought to individuals and families...when she speaks out about Hugo Chavez or attacking Democrats for starting all the wars..she's gone outside of her cause...she goes from being a symbol into a politician....and by distracting attention (which the corporate media loves to seize) it hurts the many voices she originally spoke for...many who suffer in silence and don't have the prominence Sheehan has.

The sad fact is an impeachment without an acquital will be seen as an exoneration for this regime. The Clinton inquisition didn't stop him from launching the military action in Kosovo...do these people think that a failed impeachment would keep boooshie from attacking Iran? The only way that happens is by keeping this bastard on the defensive and forcing his hand on the funding and authorization to continue this war for profit. And right now the best way to accomplish that is to force up or down votes in the Senate...people are sitting in on the wrong side of the Capitol.
