24/7 covered the Schiavo feeding tube removal 24/7.....so.....
....why the hell can't they do the same for Cindy? (Don't answer that, it was a rhetorical question). The MSM camped out in front of that poor woman's death hospice for - what was it - 15 days or something?? And here now we have another poor woman...a poor mom who lost her son in an illegal and immoral war....holding vigil down the road from Chimpy's fake ranch...and she just wants to talk to him. That won't happen...but the story is HER story...it's every war mom's and war family's story...it's the story of being bald-facedly lied to by a man who calls himself a president.

2. Because fascists control most broadcast news channels. BushInc fascists.
They control most of what the public hears and sees.

8. So how did Howard Dean appear on my TV screen so many times this summer?
Was I hallucinating? Has be been "banned" since then or somthing?

Who is denying television interviews or debate show slots to sure fire ratings getters like Kerry, Hillary/Bill, Obama, etc?

9. Yes she did talk to him, but
at the time she/we did not know all that we know now.
She spoke about this in rebuttal to the nasty stuff being written about her.
At the time she did not know what a big lie this war was. We had not learned about the DSM or many other things that have come out since she meet with Bush. Now she wants answers as any mother would.

13. " We mustn't allow the ants to think they are powerful "
analogy taken from the movie "It's a bugs life"

the ants gathered food to pay grasshoppers (much
like paying the mob) to keep safe . Well by
the end of the movie all the ants stood together
outnumbered the grasshoppers and won their freedom
from slavery .

If one lady can embolden other individuals to feel
empowered to make a difference the elites in this
country will be in BIG BIG trouble .

The ants outnumber the grasshoppers , so the ants
must be made to feel weak with use of fear and
intimidation. One Ant standing with out fear is a
powerful message to other ants .
