Should Cindy back off?
I see Cindy being targeted (swiftboated) and would like to see other mothers of dead soldiers come forward to take the heat away from Cindy and confuse the enemy. They (the enemy) are using the perfected strategy of slaying the messanger, which is successful in turning the opinions of sheeple. Handing the baton could accomplish deflecting the pinpoint attention away from the individual and onto the group, which is more difficult to slander.

Anyway, I hope Cindy doesn't suffer from burnout.

3. Bring 'em on.
If she backs off then it will never stop. Let them do their worst, until the ultimate conclusion. Cindy knows this.

6. she's not going to
because she is not motivated by the same things most people are: a political agenda. she is driven by grief and basically has nothing left to lose.

7. I hope she hangs in there. She's got Shrub cornered like the rat he is.
Usually we're bombarded with every detail of his vacation. This time, mum's the word. Not a peep. I suspect he's hiding in a closet waiting for September.

NOOOO!
She's not backing off, not by a longshot.

She's gotta be getting really tired, but this woman is resolute. I would also like to see other mothers stand beside her too, and I think they will, but they will have to come at their own accord. This assault is turning around, and we will be the victors.

I subscribe to the theory that when your opponent is kicking their own ass, don't intervene.

That is all.

:)

8. There are members of MFSO, GSFP, VFP and many others scheduled
to be arriving and after last night I suspect far more than we can even begin to start imagining. The guy went to far last night and that is why in another thread I posted maybe we should all be silently thanking him for being so incredibly wrong and stupid.

What a hoot to be caught because one of the crosses blew out a tire on his truck. What irony.

9. Back off from what?
She just want answers; we should ALL want answers:

What are we doing over there?
When will we be done?
When will the troops come home?
What are we doing over there?

According to der president, her son died for a noble cause - a noble cause which has changed several times. Perhaps she just wants to know which noble cause it was.

10. No, I think she should stay. I'm sure others will be joining her
because of the character assassination she is enduring. What they are doing is backfiring on them. They are only making her a more sympathetic character, not less.

17. I'm more worried
that the more the enemy can target an individual, the less that individual can accomplish. Man I hope I'm wrong.

14. Reading these responces
makes me proud to be a liberal. What a team. I hope some massage therapist shows up to give Cindy a great message. She's like an unrated fighter going up against the champion and kicking his butt.

15. Back off?
Why? She's getting to them. The level of their desperation can be measured by the increasingly vile, disgusting and sick way they're trying to slander and discredit her.

21. And they do it because it works
It would only take a few words from our glorius leader to end this. That f'ing bastard knows that his piranhas are swimming fast, and he does nothing to stop it. My Bush voodoo doll has a white cross up it's ass.

16. Would that end the lying, demonizing, and attacks????
would the lies and mistakes of this so called war ne admitted to?

would a realistic strategy then be applied to prosecution of this so called war?

Would more attention be paid to safety and other issues concerning these troops in harms way by this administration?

Would the right wing then begin to earnestly care about the troops?

Will this administration learn from the mistakes learned in this debacle?

Please try and use as few words and characters possible to answer all these questions.

19. NO. Bush could end this in 5 minutes.
He must be enjoying it. He's going to pay dearly for ignoring that woman. No, she should not back off. She's saying what needs to be said. She's saying what the MSM should be saying, but they choose to shill for the WH instead.
