Cindy Sheehan initially held the moral high ground protesting the war, but she then got all full-of-herself.  She squandered whatever righteousness she had by trying to prolong her 15 minutes of fame, until she was just a parody of herself.  

Casey is probably spinning in his grave.


ETA: boy, I sure strung a lot of clichés together writing that.  Didn't realize I had that much to drink ;)

Do "candidates" receive federal moneies regardless of how many people actually vote for them in primaries?  Can they get money if their party is so small a primary would result in a run-off between all three candidates?

In other words, besides getting her name back in front of the public regardless of the cost or personal embarassment, why is Roseanne running?

stay safe.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

According to the party's website, it was founded in 1967 and advocates free education, abortion on demand and "is committed to socialism, democracy, ecology, feminism and racial equality."

So what happens when democracy says "No" to socialism?

I suspect they would re-define what their idea of democracy is ...

I could see my self supporting this.


As long as the "abortion on demand" plank of their platform means that I can demand Roseanne's abortion during her inauguration.

I don't know.  Communist Govt or having to listen to Rosanne Barr and Cindy Sheehan?  I guess it would be worse since they would be communist AND extremely annoying.

There you go.

She never had any more high ground than any mother whose son died over there.
