2. Love what Cindy has done to confront the shrub. |
|
But, we have a friend in Dallas who attended the Crawford protests. She says the tension you can cut with a knife. Yes, Crawford is not all crazies, but they have a lot of such. Be careful Cindy. Think it a good approach to bring the likes of our beloved Michael Moore to this town. Confronting them head on is well overdue, I suspect. We all sit by the tele way too much. It's time for action.

3. Cindy Sheehan is a danger to the Democratic Party |
|
There's a reason why nearly all Democratic politicians ignore Cindy Sheehan....she's no friend to our party.
Cindy began with a good cause, she has every right to want answers regarding Casey's death, however, she's now gotten involved with a group of people who have radically altered her agenda to become their agenda....I support people who support the Democratic Party and our elected politicians....I cannot support people who in an election year, voice their hopes that some of our crucial Senator's up for re-election get defeated.
I specifically mean Senator Clinton and Cindy Sheehan's comments regarding Senator Clinton. I want Senator Clinton re-elected, she's a great Senator for our party....Cindy doesn't want Senator Clinton re-elected....how people can support Cindy I don't know, she needs to get back to her original agenda, and get rid of the Medea Benjamin crowd that she's now surrounded herself with.

4. I'd vote for Medea Benjamin over Feinstein anyday. |
|
Party comes second to principal . I'll choose issues before party. If the party is not right on issues , we need align with those who will make it right. Medea Benjamin is a fine American. She will stand with the Democratic Party if it is right. I expect it to be right on the issues. Yes, I might not alwasy use Medea's tactics, but as to issues; I agree with her more than Hilary Clinton. As to Hilary. She needs more moxie. My strategy if I were a New Yorker. I'd vote Tasini in the primary , expecting Clinton to win, but of course after attempting to 'nudge ' Hilary, I'd be working for her after the September primary. The same for Feinstein, should she have a progressive challenge.

That after the September primary you'd be working for Senator Clinton and Senator Feinstein.
It's imperative that we keep the New York Senate seat and the California Senate seat, and that nothing jeopardizes our chances of keeping those seats.
"If the party is not right on issues , we need align with those who will make it right. Medea Benjamin is a fine American. She will stand with the Democratic Party if it is right. I expect it to be right on the issues. Yes, I might not alwasy use Medea's tactics, but as to issues; I agree with her more than Hilary Clinton."
I respect your right to have your opinion, however we'll have to agree to disagree. Medea Benjamin isn't a Democrat, she's a Socialist, she's aligned with a variety of Socialist organizations....our party, the Democratic Party has it's flaws, but in my humble opinion we'd confine ourselves to electoral oblivion if we listened to Medea Benjamin for advice.
I want our party returning to power, regaining the WH in 2008 and remaining in power as long as possible until the last neo-Con has been forgotten about, which I'm sure IS something that we CAN agree on :)

17. Might have to part company on some issues. |
|
I think a slight dose of socialism, when it comes to like health care and enforcing monopoly laws over companies that off shore, is exactly what the country needs. Feinstein and Clinton are barely acceptable. But, lets say I was in CN and Liebermann got the Dem nomination. Sorry, no can do. Plus, I fear words like Socialism are much too readily thrown about. I get a chance to see Medea out in California, that will be in my thougths.

7. Cindy's cause is what? Bring the troops home? |
|
Does Sen. Clinton want to bring the troops home? My support of Cindy is just that-bring the troops home.

8. Bullshit. Hillary is a sellout, a DINO. Cindy has every right |
|
to call a LIAR like that on their lies!
If you want to continue to support someone who doesn't give a damn about real democrats and issues that are important to the MAJORITY of people in this country, that's your prerogative.
But don't criticize Cindy or the rest of us who are sick and tired of the reTHUGlican infiltration and attempted destruction of the democratic party. :grr:

What right therefore does Cindy have to attempt to dictate what my party does or doesn't do?

14. Hillary ISN'T a real Democrat....but Cindy IS? Huh? |
|
Cindy Sheehan has repeatedly shown contempt for Democrats and the Democratic Party, she's also now aligned herself with groups of people who show contempt for Democrats and the Democratic Party....as I stated earlier, there's a reason why next to no Democrats go and stand with Cindy Sheehan....why should they go and stand with someone who shows them contempt?
Cindy's original agenda was good and just and was all about her son Casey....now she's been manipulated by various groups and has co-adopted their agenda, Cindy has gone outside of the mainstream and has alienated herself from whatever mainstream support she might have garnered.
Going and hugging Hugo Chavez and attending the WSF for example, are not exactly mainstream activities....calling for the defeats of Senator Clinton and Senator Feinstein, are not exactly going to endear Cindy to mainstream Democratic politicians.

18. Cindy is pointing out the liars, frauds and hypocrites of the dem party. |
|
Both Clinton or Feinstein are FRAUDS aka DINOS. They are reTHUGS holding dem positions. They don't serve the people, they are serving corporations. Which is primarily what the reTHUGS do. We should all have contempt for anyone like them who is holding an office in Washington D.C. who isn't who they said they were when they ran for office. They don't like that she is pointing out their achilles heel because the truth hurts doesn't it?
BTW-Their SWORN OATH was to SERVE THE PEOPLE! Which they are NOT doing!
As far as Chavez goes, I like him myself, so damn what?! What does that have to do with anything or with stopping the warmongering?! Will you step in to do Cindys thankless job? I know I couldn't! And that's why I appreciate and support her 100%! Because she is doing the job NO ONE wants to do. And make no mistake, what she is doing keeps this issue in the forefront of everyones minds which ticks the powers that be off! They can't sweep it all under the carpet so easily when a mother of a dead soldier asks them for answers now can they?!
Answer: HELL NO!!!
p.s. BTW-Stop dissing Cindy. Because frankly, it reeks of freeperdom.

19. I hope you forgot the sarcasm notation. How could anyone support this |
|
Neocon immoral war is beyond me. I too stand for issues over party when party includes elected officials who aare willing to support guys like Lieberman (WHO LOST!) over the Dem candidate. Time for some new blood without corporate interests at the top of their agenda.

20. I only go along with the party always right stuff. |
|
If a given race requires me to be pragmatic. If I have no other choice, of course I'd vote Feinstein. Feinstein holding that seat, as often as she sells us out. Means, that Intelligence chair in the Senate might be held by Sen. Jay Rockefeller over Sen. Pat Roberts of KN. That is an important difference.
