Cindy Sheehan Says Stop Voting for Either Wing of the War Party, Calls for Impeaching Obama

You are absolutely correct. This political system doesn't even qualify to be a decent sham. It's geared to suppress people's votes, geared to do what it wants so it grew into an it. But right now imho politics has just about been shoved into the back seat and raped. It's the commercial money that's running this show. I'm tempted to say the commercial has become a world order of its own.

Think about it jubal. Here we are over here in the US still claiming values like freedom and a decent day's wages while we purchase Goods from other countries that still uses slave wages and sex trades [and everything we supposedly abhor in human society] but the dollar bill outranks the whole lot of us being -supposedly- horrified by how the workers are treated => in China, Singapore, Malaysia, and everywhere else not listed.

This makes every United States citizen purchasing their Goods a complete total hypocrite of the highest order. We are accomplices in a world we say we reject. The word hypocrite is too good for us. We are now rolling in their mud.

Indeed gravity man...we need to take our country back..but not the way the Tea Party wants to do it. We need to have every single person recognized, valued and equal...regardless of their religion, race, gender, sexual orientation, sexual identity, age, and every other classification ....everyone is equal in the eyes of the laws and have inalienable rights that should never be denied or taken away for any reason.

You are truly an optimist. I would like to be an optimist also and in fact believe I am. You would think with the power of supercomputer arrays we could sculpt out a new order, establish worldwide equality and all that. But for that to happen you have to sculpt out some new people. The ones we have in control now leave something to be desired.

why the Ron Paul spam?

You go Ron Paul! Smaller Federal government! Get rid of the Neocons and the money sucking politicians on all sides. Politics should NOT be a career!

More so then you I would Imagine

Sorry, I disagree. Cindy Sheehan isn't even fighting her son's battle as she claims. They disagreed. He wanted to go to fight for and protect his and her country. Whether he was right or wrong she's a woman on a mission to get revenge for the death of her son. To the point of insanity. I don't trust her as far as i can throw her.

BTW, I agree with Ron Paul on our helping other countries fight their wars. Our military should protect us, in this country from invasion and from overthrow...not fighting for others unless we plan on doing it right and quit pissing around causing more destruction than needed.

Supporting 3rd parties actually benefits society much more than supporting the 2 party system. It is not a waste and the libertarian party has injected it's ideals into the arena (at least no one can blame this on Freedom, we haven't had freedom in this country, or world..EVER). Point is, countries with strong 3rd parties have less corruption, more aware public, and it allows the 2 party train to push us only so far. You are helping society, not hurting it when you support ideals outside the 2 party trainwreck.

Hey! It's Friday night! Didn't anybody take ya to wrestling on Friday night before? Old people get to have memories too ya know. Discrimination! Discrimination here! Hush Percy.

I want a bunny!!!

I think the snake best fits politicians today.

Seal!!!

I like the cock too...but the one there isn't big enough.

He could end it tomorrow if he wanted to, but he won't...same shit, different day.

replacing soldiers with a higher number of contractors in iraq. escalating troop levels and hostilities in afghanistan. imposing sanctions on iran, that if the shoe were on the other foot would be considered an act of war. generals who are now saying the pullout date next year will probably not be met. reality check... how many wars has obama ended? 0. the evidence shows he's not trying to end any of these wars. cindy sheehan is simply speaking the truth.

if by speaking the truth you lose friends, then they were never really friends in the first place.

Absolutely.

agreed sir.

Your petty personal attack is out of line, and makes you appear rather small.

malicious fallacy i think not all one has to do is look at where the money comes from.guess again they are supported buy the same crooks.

I just hate to have to sink down to your level, Unimatrix. I really do, but I think that this is the only mode of reasoning you truly understand.

I can only add that more significant legislation has been passed and a nuclear arms deal with the Russians, president Obama has accomplished more in eighteen months than Bush did in eight years. As far as Afghan war and drones that kill civilians, its sad that people who so believe in their cause are asuch cowards that they hide behind civilians, most of the time forced, and if not forced they are colaborators who are in a no win situation. But in the end, a few thousand dead civilians or millions of dead civilians when radical islamic terrorists get hold of a Pakistani nuclear weapon. Personally, I take a few thousand dead instead of millions.

Yeah, we listened to that bullshit under the last jerkoff-in-chief. If I'm not mistaken, that's the reasoning used to go in there in the first place.

Liberals/progressives must realize that the Democrats do not represent us. The only Democrat I truly like is Dennis Kucinich. Both parties represent large corporations and the rich. Democrats pander to liberals the way that Republicans pander to Christians - neither are sincere - it's just a way to get votes. As an Independent, no longer will I be voting Democrat just because I want to prevent the Republicans from winning. I will vote for the most liberal/progressive candidate regardless of their perceived chances of winning. I will not be voting for Obama for a second term. I fart in both parties' general direction. Actually, I spray sharts in their general direction.

ScottyT, while I agree with you much of the time on this one I disagree, I have no illusion that the goal in Pakistan is the aquisition of nuclear weapons. Pakistan has them unlike Iraq that had only very small quatities of poison gas weapons. Your entitled to your opinion but reality dictates something else

If you don't vote for the dems and vote a third party you are defacto voting for conservatives - I urge you to abandon your naive and Pollyanna outlook and be pragmatic - Obama is not perfect but he is far better than any Republican.

This is exactly the conundrum I was in during the 2008 election. My vote for Obama was a vote against McCain/Palin. I supported Kucinich until he dropped out.

I keep flip-flopping because I really don't want the Republicans in there, but the deeper I look, the more it seems like Democrats aren't really very different. I like their rhetoric more, but it seems like it is not sincere. I am starting to think that the Republican v Democrat rivalry is just for show. I am an Independent. I was with the Democrats but Obama kept not delivering and I think he is just a corporate tool like the rest. As of now, I am not planning to vote for a second Obama term unless there is no more progressive candidate than he.

Politics is a fairly new thing for me. I only started paying attention during the latter couple of years of the Bush administration. I started paying attention because of how horrible the Bush administration was. Obama is continuing a lot of the things I didn't like about Bush. It is very disheartening.

I really think that elections are for show. I don't think we really have a choice. I do not choose a pro-corporate, pro-rich candidate, but they all seem to be. Almost all. Unless a candidate is favored by the mega-corporations, the majority will never even really hear about him/her.

I just don't trust the Democrats anymore.

Maybe I should just go back to not paying attention. I was less depressed then. Of course I won't do that, but part of me wants to. This sucks.

You sound like a republican they said the same thing about cindy when she protested thier leader, LOL!!

So, just the lesser of two evils, right?

Yes because she gets so much Media attention

SARAH PALIN is a media ho. Cindy Sheehan was a bona fide
contender to Pelosi's H.R. seat. And what did she get for playing square ?
As I recall, since I don't get mind controled into memory loss by watching
empty headed TV " news ", Cindy Sheehan was the victim of a Burglary
and Felony Eavesdropping in Denver during the Democratic Convention
of 2008. And her campaign headquarters In California was also targeted
to be the victim of violent crimes and disruption from forces outside her control.

It would be as absurd as it would be reckless for anyone to speculate
that she herself was responsible for all that crime. If she were, yes, then
that would support your assertion. Without proof, it's only defamation of
character, and actual malice. Wasn't her son a casualty of the Iraqi War ?

Since noone's criminaly prosecuted Bush/Cheny yet, it's obvious that it
would be out of order to scapegoat people saddled with such a corrupt
system to contend with. You can thank Nixon/Regan/the Bushes for that.
We need the People to wake up and support the formation of a 3rd and 4th
Party system here in the USA. One to function as opposing the systematic
Corporate corruption of legitimate Constitutional Government. And another
to keep them honest, and from being too cocky. Of course the current 2
parties aren't fulfilling their intended function. The USA wouldn't have to
contend with a train wreck for an economy if the Corporation Party weren't
botching things by playing musical chairs with the Gummint.

she isnt a media whore shes too stupid.she is playing the part of puppet to whomever has glommed on to her this week

Every President decides post-election he likes the taste of blood ????????

Surely Sheehan knows she has to fail. No President can stop war because he would run afoul of 1 Thessalonians Ch. 5 vs 3 => when people cry Peace & Security destruction will come instantly upon them. The Bible Prophecy there is stopping the United States government short of ending the wars in Iraq.

We are stuck in a revolving door of FEAR so the deaths must continue. We have to -at all costs- remain in Matthew Ch. 24 vs 6 => "there will be wars and reports of wars" so? We always have to have a WAR. Sheehan may as well pack it in, and any Sheehan sympathizers. It ain't gonna happen.

Stopping wars would allow this prophecy to slide under the door => http://concordance.biblebrowser.com/al3/matthew/24-6.htm

Stopping wars would allow the prophecy of Matthew Ch. 24 to move much closer to verse 14's "and then the End will come". So here we sit friends, stuck in the never ending meat grinder called verse 6 => http://concordance.biblebrowser.com/al3/matthew/24-6.htm

In short, the President Obama so-called messiah has no balls.

So we should just pull out all service members and let the Taliban in Afghanistan regain control in a couple years?

They started them with the help of the Democrats and now they are gone. Why are we still in Iraq and Afghanistan? Try to think outside your two party world for just one F'in moment if that is possible. LOL!!

And what about those who do vote and are betrayed? I voted for president in 2000 and what did I get? I sure as hell didn' t get justice nor the president who actually won the election and the one I knew would lead this country in the right direction. So what do I get in return for voting and having it subverted? Where is my justice? Ever since that event a decade ago, you will notice not much has gone right for this country.

And of course Obama said we would withdrawal from Iraq on the exact time table we are on, and he also said he would up the troop size in Afghanistan. All elections promises and words he has kept. He is not the Liberal you all try to paint him!

True story!

So you voted for more War, sounds GRReat!

And just what would be wrong if he were a Liberal? Why do you appear to be embarrassed about that? But you are right, because if he were a true Liberal he would not have voted for all of the war funding while he was in the Senate, and he would be calling for ending these wars, not upping the troop size. And today it was announced that the UK's troops will not be out until 2014, so just what do you think that means for our troops since Obama and Cameron were meeting? Innocents and troops are still dying under his command as they did under Bush's. When you look at this from the same perspective as with Bush, how can you think to defend this continuing? But don't get me wrong, I have no love for the hypocrites on the right coming out of the woodwork calling for his impeachment now when they allowed Bush and his criminal regime to lie to the American people and the world to get the "war" in Iraq. Playing politics with this war has done nothing but continue the killing and bring us an uncertain future for our children. We need to end this now.

Tom quick acting like you think I'm stupid!

Jan you know me better than that! Unless Obama was totally faking even his financial backers isn't a liberal and you know I am, in fact I'm a democratic socialist. The country wasn't ready to elect a true Liberal and you know that too. We got what we got and the man is trying like hell to change a lot of friggin things that would have been off the table with a right winger in there. So give up, if you want but not me. The changes are coming and to me the republicans have been screwing themselves in standing up with oil company's, bankers and against unemployment. The writing is on the wall, all we need to do is keep working for progressive candidates wherever we can.bearing

That's a good point. Kucinich barely stood a chance 3 years ago. When will he stand a chance at the national level?

The pendulum has to move even more than it has for that to happen. But we are moving the pendulum with a lot of help from the party of NO.

Looks like someone can't handle the truth.

The changes are coming? Please, don't insult my intelligence, with all due respect.

That would be hard to do!

It's not an Act, JK

That's probably why she didnt win, she didn't pick a side

Tom , in a vote between Pelosi and Sheehan,,,,I'd go with "none of the above". Yuck,,,,what terrible choices. It's a lose / lose situation !!

They're both idiots, maybe they should have had a 3rd choice, anyone but these two morons.

Scott - Yes, he's a very intelligent alternative to the wackos. But that district is known to LOVE wackos ! !
