I've given Sheehan quite a bit of crap over the last year or so, but I have to admit, this is a great move on her part…and I support her on it.

Gutsy. I like it.

it seems like ppl who gave her crap did it b/c it was supposedly aimed towards a certain party...now that she's criticizing the other side they like it?

not talking about you personally but ppl a lot of ppl boiled it all down to being partisan when it was clearly being against the war all along and nothing more

Good for her.

moeaholic

well, so much for going home and just being herself.

personally, i'd absolutely love to see her run and win. let's see if she can back up what she says she'll do.

Not everyone can be as informed as you, oh mighty keeper of knowledge. Bless us with another overused quip.

interesting...i didn't realize she gave up her US citizenship.....cuz i can't think of another fucking reason why she can't run for elected office....:rolleyes:

blackredyellow

good for her... she annoys me and I don't necessarily agree with a lot of what she says, but good for her... She has tried to accomplish what she could (which turned out to be very little) so she is trying to take it to the next level and run for office.

i think it was more like 5 but whos counting and who cares reall. i lost all respect for her, when she became a puppet for moore and the far left.

funny how some americans trash a woman for exercising her right to freedom of speech and dissent.

"let's spread freedom with bombs, but ridicule and slander anyone that disagree's with our views"

she is more of an "american" (whatever that means) than most of you folks bashing her. she lost a child, she can have the floor as long as she wants as far as i am concerned

she has actually sacrificed in this war, so have some respect, whether you agree or disagree

I agree. I don't think it's fair to call someone a puppet for simply choosing a different path than your own and aligning herself with people she chose to work with. It's highly condescending to say she was just not smart enough to see she is being used or know what's really going on. How do you know that? How do you know that this isn't the way she chose to express herself? Just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean she and others are going to share your perspective.

how do i know cause i watched the news everyday and saw she was there by herself, then i saw all these people like moore and other far left people down there with her and then i saw her blogging on moores website.i do agree with her, i just dont agree with the people she aligned herself with, once she did that, she lost people in america. she could of been a real crusder(sp) against this war, but she didnt.why not quote me abook instead of taking cheap shots at me, huh

Perhaps because Cindy's out there making waves and doing something about what she feels is wrong? She gets press because she goes out and gets people's attention. Good for her!

So because she chose to work with Moore or whoever she doesn't deserve respect? Why? Did you ever think those lefties heard her message agreed and wanted to help? Why is that a bad thing? She was and is a real crusader against the war? How can you say she's not?

And metsy, I'm not taking cheap shots at you, dear. Many here share your view so I didn't feel the need to single you out.
