Sheehan for Senate?
Cindy Sheehan must be getting desperate for attention. She's visiting Venezuela and has only praise Communist "presidente" Hugo Chavez. Now, while there, she says she's considering a run for Senate against California's Dianne Feinstein (D).
"She voted for the war. She continues to vote for the funding. She won't call for an immediate withdrawal of the troops."
Anyone who has been paying attention to politics in the last three years knows that Feinstein is hardly "pro-Iraq." Her campaign manager says she has decided that as long as we're there, she should support funding for troops and that an immediate withdrawal would be a mistake. She's grudgingly doing the right thing.
"If I decided to run, I would have no illusions of winning, but it would bring attention to all the peace candidates in the country."
No, it would be a circus centered around Sheehan. But Sheehan seems to enjoy a carnival atmosphere, so obviously that wouldn't be a problem for her.
What Cindy Sheehan either can't or won't understand is that peace won't happen if we simply pull out our soldiers bring them home for good. The Islamofascists won't say, "Gee, they went home, let's just forget the whole thing." They will see a pullout as a sign of weakness and will continue their assault on not only Iraq, but Israel and Western countries--including America. Think about it: these are people who take innocent civilians hostage and threaten to savagely kill them if their demands are not met (and they have followed through more times than I care to remember).
They are in this to win, to spread Islamic theocracies and Sharia law. They don't accept compromise. In their eyes it's either win or be defeated. There is no middle ground.
I'm not sure if Sheehan would win. If she lived in any other state but California, I would simply laugh, but California is a hotbed of leftist sympathizers. If she were able to raise enough money, who knows? Dianne Feinstein in the Senate is bad news, but Cindy Sheehan in the Senate would be absolutely scary.

Cindy Sheehan is a narcissist who's had her ego stroked by the media and finds she really likes it. Now she's quite certain that everything out of her mouth rivals that from the Oracle of Delphi. The sooner Sheehan becomes her own parody, the better.
Let the moonbats rave on, so that we all may know them by their raving.
