Responding to the “attention whore” allegations thrown at her by both parties – or anyone with common sense, Cindy Sheehan bids farewell on a popular left-wing blog.
With that in mind coupled with the “attention whore” allegations; does anybody else find it ironic that Cindy Sheehan bids her “farewell” the same week that the nation’s attention has been riveted on Rosie bidding hers?
Perhaps Venezuela will have a left-winged version of The View.
After all, the two share similar political views AND fasting habits.

You lost to the Big Machines. Everything you said in your letter is right on. The Democratic party has failed all America by it’s refusal to do what they said they would do and do …END THE WAR….all for the sake of who will be elected in 2008. They have now clearly put themselves in the very same mold as the Republican party….they are no different.
I used to think Ralph Nader was a nut for wanting to be president, but now I really believe it’s people like him who will one day break up the Republican/Democratic self-centered monopolies that are more concerned with being elected and power than what is really best for the citizens of the USA.
Hopefully this breakthrough will come before the USA is ruled by a dictator…but then again isn’t that already the case.

CJ:
Putting themselves into the same mold of the Republican party would require by in large to sticking to one position. Bush (love him or hate him) has not flip-flopped on his positions. Many Republicans in the Senate have caved into caterwauling but the base of the Republican party’s views have pretty much remained consistent since we invaded in 2003.
In terms of the self-centered monopolies you mentioned, I have to be candid and say that I don’t see this as much on the Republican side as I do on the Democratic side. I guarantee, once the primaries are won, you will see a major flip-flop on the Demcrat side to attempt to win the moderates needed to win the actual election. Voters pay attention more now than ever before and they will remember the crucial vote last week that the Democratic candidates voted against.
Anyone in their right mind knew that we couldn’t set guidelines or pull out of Iraq. All of the big-wig Republican candidates now pretty much support staying until things are stable.
That’s an important first step to providing us with the assurance needed. Everything after that is debatable.

It seems to me that most Iraqi’s would prefer the USA to leave, but once again only the BIG USA under GW Bush knows best. So reflected by your comment about people in their right mind. As we know anyone who goes against the grain is unpatriotic.
As to politics in the country can’t you see there is no longer government for the people and by the people. That was long gone with George and the Republicans. It’s all about power now and the Republicans pretty much make it clear that is all they want.
It’s only a matter of years before the USA goes the way of the Roman empire. It can’t be stopped anymore. The people will one day see the light.

Regarding people in their right mind supporting the war, I offer this -
put aside why we went, that will be a debate from now until the end of the world.
we’re there. what happens if we leave right now and leave it? and making a fair estimation of what will happen, how can anyone in their “right mind” support leaving now?
CJ // May 29, 2007 at 2:27 pm
There is no debate why the USA went there. Everyone knows it was because Bush needed the oil for all your SUV’s and to avenge his daddy…..plus stupidity, greed, ignorance, etc etc… So you see there is no need for any further debate. It’s quite clear why he did what he did!
You assume that what will happen will be a mess if the yanks pull out. Maybe not….maybe once the Yanks are out of there the people just might sort things out on their own. Remember Vietnam??? I don’t recall them falling to pieces after the Yanks left…in fact isn’t the USA kissing their butt these days….
So there are other opinions as to what will happen besides what Chaney, Bush and all the Republicans believe. Get it through your head….Americans are no longer looked up to anymore anywhere in the world and are no longer the only country that can solve problems in the world. Just look at the booing at the Miss Universe pageant yesterday in Mexico….Miss USA was booed to death….that is pretty much what the world feels about the USA. The only thing keeping you on top is your huge arsenal of nuclear weapons.
The USA is not the savior of the world any longer….so get out of Iraq and let the people there try and sort out the mess Bush has created.

What are you talking about CJ? Countries all over the entire world are electing conservative leaders! Australia, Canada, FRANCE, England – conservatism is very popular throughout the world and the way foreign countries are voting and judging by the way your OWN Democrats are voting in Congress is not indicative of a world that hates America, hates the idea that we deposed of Saddam, and in fact indicates that these crack-pot theories of “the world hates us, and 99% of the country hates the war” are nonsense.
Yes I remember Vietnam. I remember our troops never lost a single battle during that war. I also know that liberals carped about every single casualty as if it was a shock that casualties happen during a war – who knew? I disagree that we left because of the way the media started portraying our progress.
Unlucky for you, people DO remember Vietnam and remember what happens when we cave into a bunch of whiners (like Walter Kronkite.)
Finally, I don’t own an SUV. But Hillary Clinton owns limos and a private jet. Al Gore owns limos, SUVS and a private jet. Barack Obama loves SUV’s. Those greedy gas guzzling Democrats – they must be stopped!
At least now we know why Democrats keep voting against their base and keep approving funding so thanks for at least clearing that up.

What are you smoking….you think the world loves…get a grip man and read other news websites on here besides those made and grown in the USA like Fox. Americans travel the world with Canadian flags on their jackets. In fact people from the USA are being told when travelling to say they are Canadians.
All I can say is I feel totally sad and sorry for you…I mean it has to be very difficult to have the beliefs you have and still see yourself as intelligent….Wow!
And just because Conservatives are being elected only means that more and more people are losing it….
The saddest part is that one can’t tell the difference between a Republican and a Democrat in the USA any more. They are both seeking power for themselves and that is the bottom line. Too bad there isn’t room for a 3rd party. Nader is more right about what he has been saying everyday.
Steve // May 29, 2007 at 5:05 pm
Okay first you say that the entire world hates us. But on the other hand, more and more people are losing it because they vote for conservatives?
Are they losing it because they hate us so much? Or do they hate us so much because they are losing it? Which is it?
I’m trying really hard to get the metaphor here but I honestly do not have to read news outside of the United States to hear insinuations of international hate coming from all sections of the planet – all I have to do is watch Barbara Boxer or Nancy Pelosi give a speech. The last I checked, news networks other than Fox broadcast these.
If some Cindy Sheehan-nut is running around with Canadian flags on their jackets, it doesn’t mean anything other than they are simply nutty people.
The fact that everyone knows that they are doing this (like you seem to) means that they aren’t too good at lying about where they are from. That is not indicitive of an American ashamed of its country. It’s simply indicitive of a nut trying to get attention.
Being that the case, I say: Canada can have them! Historically, all of the worst Americans wound up going there anyway – while all of the most successful Canadians move here and proudly admit it.

CJ: what are you smoking? I’ve never been told to lie about my nationality when traveling abroad, and I never will. In fact I’m proud to say I’m a citizen of the United States and never faced any ill will – not in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Canada, Mexico, Luxembourg or any other place I’ve traveled. People may not like my government, and that’s just fine; I most likely don’t like theirs either.
Oh, and I read a variety of news sources my friend. Not just CNN or the Guardian. You might want to heed your own advice.
