Is This What The Democrats Have Come Too

You know things are bad when a certified nut case is talking about running for United States Senate. Cindy Sheehan, while in Venelueza, said that she is not happy with Sen. Diane Feinstein for supporting the war in Iraq and not supporting John Kerry's filibuster of Judge Sam Alito. For the record, as of this post, Feinstein not only withdrew her "no filibuster", but voted "Nay" for confirmation of Judge Alito. So you can chalk that little critique as a victory for Sheehan. But how bad are thing for the democrats, when a nut case like Sheehan is getting all this pull within the democratic party? Everytime she mutters and rants charges against the democratic party, things happen. I have to admit she is a woman of action. If only we can get her to make charges against the Congressional Black Caucus, maybe the inner cities will see some improvement in the form of less crime, better schools and good jobs. Is this the abyss for the democratic party, where a woman who pitched a tent in Crawford, Texas seeking to get a second meeting with the President to call him a liar and get him to withdraw our troops in Iraq. Only to be denied that meeting, but given a "everyone has the right to express their disagreement" send off.

So Sheehan, who is not getting attention from the republicans and the President has set her sight on the democrats who probably in her opinion is not doing enough to stop, the person she deems is evil and a liar. And the democrats are giving in faster than the French at the sound of a pop gun. Which by the tone of most members of that party in regard to "cutting boots" in Iraq is no surprise. So in her bid to run for Senate, I support Cindy. Just like I support Howard Dean in his role as DNC Chair. And for my democratic friends, my heart goes out to you while you try to figure out what the heck happened to your party. I only pray you dig yourselves out of the muck that outside interest groups and race baiters have dug you in.
