<p>But wait, its not vacation, it leaving the house cause some work is being done, didn’t you just hear?</p>

<p>Cindy Sheehan is more heroic everyday. The copycat Bush support group arrived in Crawford and tried to interferre with the anti war protesters by attempting to the crosses - and after the police made them go back to their own rally…there was a skirmish between the Bush Supporters because they couldn’t read their own signs. Let’s show the soldiers we care about them more than about saving face…bring them home safe.</p>
<p>The irony is, Bush is the one who made her a hero. If he had visited her the first week, and given her the standard Republican line on the war, she would have been to shell shocked by meeting the president to say or do anything. But by ignoring her to go off and chop firewood for a month, hes made her a hero.</p>
<p>ANd now, with a group of prowar people following her around, she will get more coverage and she can’t be kicked out of anywhere, otherwise both groups will have to get get out…so when is camps in washington she can stay…For that I am very glad…</p>
<p>I find it really scary when some moms say it would be okay if son died in Iraq. It wouldn’t be okay if it was my son, no matter what the cause. If I had a son in WWII, and that was a war we needed to fight, if my son died, I would be devestated, I would be sad, I would be angry, I would understand, but it wouldn’t just be okay. Death of a chlid under any circumstances is not okay. Its almost a martyr mentallity</p>
<p>“Death of a child under any circumstances is not okay.”</p>
<p>I wish this was something Bill Clinton and the Democrats had understood.</p>
<p>
Actually they were removing the names of children whose parents didnot want to appear to be represented by Sheehan. More misrepresentation by the left.</p>
<p>There names were there to be remembered not to indicate any type of support, the conservative right is just looking for places to provoke a fight. Why else would they send a woman from Cindy’s state to head their dog and pony show? Just like Swift boat veterens…create and fund a group to confuse and confront legitamate heros. Karl Rove is getting redundant in his approach to diverting attention from the Presidents lack of courage and skill.</p>
<p>The fact is, Bush has trapped himself. At the start of all this, he could have met with her and be done with it, maybe even walking away looking like someone who cares. But now, he only has bad choices. To meet with her under the glare of media is legitimizing her cause, meanwhile ignoring her makes him look weak, cold, and her a martyr. So the only way they can deal with her is have someone else do it.</p>
<p>“Why else would they send a woman from Cindy’s state to head their dog and pony show?”</p>
<p>Why is it you assume that this other mother of a fallen soldier couldn’t possibly be as committed to her own point of view as Cindy Sheehan is to hers? Why is it that this mother is a pawn of the right wing republican machine, but Cindy Sheehan acts independent of left wing political forces? For the record, I believe that Cindy’s actions sprang from her own devastation and outrage, and she has become a lightening rod for the millions of Americans who feel the way she does about this discouraging morass of a war. I don’t believe she met with Carvill, or solicited money from the DNC before going to Crawford. And for the record, I believe I would be much more likely to react in the way of Cindy Sheehan than her counterpart. But I wouldn’t dismiss the actions of her counterpart as being those of a Karl Rove automaton. That would be presumptuous in the extreme, not to mention, disrespectful.</p>
<p>I thought we all came to agree a few pages back that Cindy Sheehan is a complete lunatic? I assume you people have heard her racist, anti-Israel comments that are completely false. I can’t believe anyone still takes her seriously. </p>
<p>Bush has no reason to meet with her. He already was nice enough to meet with her once. Just because she makes a big fuss, doesn’t mean he should meet with her again. She doesn’t deserve another meeting.</p>
<p>I hear Martin Sheen will be going to visit with Cindy soon. Devil you must be getting used to this…your wrong., no one agreed to your comments.</p>
<p>I would have phrased the comments differently, but I generally agree with most of Devil’s points. Sorry.</p>
<p>Some have speculated that since Cindy is viewed by so many as being so over the top that she must be a Karl Rove plant.</p>
<p>Martin Sheen??? Really? Wow, I’ll have to re-think my opinion of Cindy Sheehan if somebody such obvious importance is visiting her. I mean, like, he was one of our best presidents ever.</p>
<p>There is definitely a Karl Rove plant or two in Texas…more like a field of plants since Saturday. and since I don’t agree with this absurd comment on Heroic Cindy Sheehan…It is clear that we all didn’t agree.</p>
<p>“Martin Sheen??? Really? Wow, I’ll have to re-think my opinion of Cindy Sheehan if somebody such obvious importance is visiting her. I mean, like, he was one of our best presidents ever.”</p>
<p>Was, too! ;)</p>
<p>
He did…</p>
<p>“Martin Sheen??? Really? Wow, I’ll have to re-think my opinion of Cindy Sheehan if somebody such obvious importance is visiting her. I mean, like, he was one of our best presidents ever.”</p>
<p>LOL, FF—that was hysterical—good one!</p>
<p>I just hope the camps stay out there forever. D’s high school is on the most favored route to the Rally(s). We are making a mint selling food at our stand at Farm to Market Road 185 and Highway 6. We have a simple marketing strategy. We judge the political persuasion as the vehicle is approaching and quickly throw out a sign that says either “Hummus on Stoneground Pita with Sprouts” or “Nearly Raw Whole Leg of Recently Bludgeoned Mammal”. We are raising a great deal of money to buy condoms for the football players and gasoline for our hunting jeeps. I just so hope it continues as our need is great.</p>
