Sheehan ponders run for office

CRAWFORD – President Cindy Sheehan?

Although the nation's highest elected post is likely out of reach for the so-called “peace mom,” Cindy Sheehan said she won't rule out a run for public office in the future.

“The reason I think I can't run right now is because I'm a one-issue person: It's all about the war,” Sheehan told the Tribune-Herald. “And I don't even want to learn about anything else. I think, right now, we can do more outside of politics than in politics.”

....

For all her anti-Bush bluster, though, Sheehan says she has reservations about the mainstream Democratic Party, some of whom support the Iraq war.
Sheehan said her political beliefs best match those of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. Progressive Democrats have been more vocal in opposition to the Iraq war than the party in general.

“I think we have to have a new party, Camp Caseykins, Caseycrats or something,” she said. “I don't identify with either party at all. I don't identify with them. I think they're different sides of the same coin.”

1. How nice to see that in print!

I've been saying the same thing about the "Democrats" that keep signing big business legislation, taking money, not speaking up, etc.

Why isn't SOMEBODY "important" saying "Where the hell is Bush? Where is his national address on the disaster in the southeast?"

2. With the DLC, DINO's, et al, they really are.

Someone really needs to talk to Dean about kicking the rethug infiltrators out.

3. "ponders"?

looks to me she was asked a question and replied in the negative. the headline sure is misleading. gives the impression she wants to cash in on her popularity when she is definitely not doing anything like that. the headline shudda read - "Sheehan rules out run for office."

4. WTF

"Although the nation's highest elected post is likely out of reach for the so-called “peace mom,” Cindy Sheehan said she won't rule out a run for public office in the future."

And here I thought I lived in the country where every boy and girl could grow up to become President if that was their dream. I guess all the American dreams are turning to nightmares. I'll bet Cindy Sheehan could raise some significant campaign money for whatever office she pursued.

5. If Nazi Arnold Schwarzeneggar can dream of becoming US Prez why not Cindy?

At least she's human.

Who can identify with party hearties who want to send MORE troops to Iraq?
