I told you... I TOLD YOU!


I predicted this a long time ago. Once the Democrats win Congress Cindy Sheehan will be pushed to the back burner and ignored. With the Dems it was never about Iraq it was only about winning the election. If Cindy pulled on enough heart strings in America that was good enough for them. But once they won and she asked for results that they could not achieve the Liberals stuffed her away as they always do.

She is apparently exhausted. She deserves a break, she did her best.

No matter what the result, I give her credit for having the courage to do what she did.

I agree as well. I can't imagine the feeling a parent must have when their son/daughter is killed.
Then she put all of her energy in her protest for the war. Good for her, and now she deserves to
step back and rest, and return to her own life.

She was used. That is MY point. She dealt with her pain the way she felt was right and the liberals and democrats took advantage of her. Once they won and she wanted them to keep their promise they ignored her.

She is more than exhausted...she feels betrayed by the democrats. She is right.

She made her waves and that's a good thing. That some political party capitalized on it, and now doesn't have much interest once elected is only par for the course.

Precisely - on top of all that she has gotten numerous threats from the pro war advocates who seem intent on harassing people who are only exercising their Constitutional right of free speech. She has done a great job in the interest of traditional American values and deserves the Nobel Prize for her work.

Who cares? She was a non-factor when she began and still is. Not to mention her son would probably be embarrassed by her hysterics, and her actions whilst being a puppet for the lunatic fringe of the Democratic party. All the while, self admittidley neglecting her remaining family members.

I mean really, her son dies doing what he wanted to do and the next thing you know dear old mom is kissing Hugo Chavez' ass. Nice. Good riddance to her.

Theres that compassionate conservatism we've all heard about.

I aggree.What do you want from her anyway? She lost her son in a bid to control oil by throwing a country into confusion.Outraged she made a lot of parents feel that someone was doing the right thing for their dead children.
She did a lot and I don't think she wanted to become a politician out of it,just try to bring an awareness.
Eaglesmack I wasn't here but maybe it's not in their interest now to become totally antiwar to be elected.

``she feels betrayed by the democrats``

I bet she won't be voting Republican any time soon.

Probably not... but she has accused the Democrats for caving in and abandoning the very people that got them elected. I doubt she will vote for them.

Oh and the liberals have shown her SO MUCH compassion haven't they? Once they got elected and she came to them wanting them to (eee gads) keep their promise of getting out of Iraq they push her away and ignore her. The media, the politicians, the Democratic political action teams that hauled her out in front of every camera leading up to the election suddenly dismiss her.

"So long Cindy... we got what we want... Now go away and be quiet."

Liberal compassion at its best.

She did a lot? Tell me...how so? All she did was abandon her family on this silly crusade and stain the memory of her son.

She outraged a lot of parents who lost their sons and daughters but you didn't hear from them too much. They were buried on Page 7 of the newspapers so to speak.

She brought awareness? Come on now. As if nobody knew there was a war on and it was unpopular.

She blew her son's death benefit and bought land in Crawford TX for Camp Casey, named for her son. Money that she could have used for her surviving children that she abandoned. Before the election it was filled daily with liberal supporters and Democratic Pols running for election. Now it is all but vacant. And now she has put it up for sale!

Cindy Sheehan's political naivete and psychological naivete hurt the anti-war cause.

Not used to that public attention, such a spotlight grew on her --- the worse thing for a naive and weak ego, or for someone who just found meaning for her life in this crusade.

The anti-war crowd should have thought more about her as a person instead of as a tool.

And they would have helped their own cause in being more thoughtful.

We cyber lounge chair political junkies are immortal behind a keyboard, but not being seasoned in the rough world of politics we all would suddenly look like the fool somehow some way.

The more seasoned types should have thought more of her welfare than parade her about.

Indubitably !

Well it is a step closer to compassion than the "F OFF AND DIE BIOTCH" that has been the standard response to her, what she has to say and the sorrow for the loss of her son from the Republican/Neoconfederate throw backs that started the war and this whole problem off in the first place.

Though I agree, for what passes for liberalism in the US, this is probably the best she can expect.

I agree Jim. But with Liberals it is all about the win and getting elected. Cindy's pain and passion meant nothing to them. As long as she helped them reach their goal in some way that was all they wanted.


The same with the anti-war movement. The anti-war movement is no more than the Anti-GOP/Bush movement. Anti-War protests in the US are few and far between now and are sparcely attended.

Now why is that? The war still goes on. Hmmmm. Perhaps it is because the Democrats are now in control of both houses of congress and any critisism aimed at the US Govt. they, the Dems, now have to share blame and responsibility. They have been whining and complaining for 12 years of their inability to stop the GOP because the GOP held both houses and the Executive Office. It was MUCH easier for them back then. Now the dog has caught the car and it doesn't know what to do with it.

With that said they realized Cindy REALLY DID want the troops home. She REALLY DID want them to keep their promise. When they didn't do it she spoke out against the newly elected Democrats.

THAT is a "No No". "Bad girl Cindy... now go away and be silent. We, the Liberal Elite and Liberal Media will take it from here... go home"


Talk about being used.
