Cindy Sheehan Announces House Candidacy

A tearful Cindy Sheehan cited her son, killed in Iraq, as her inspiration as she announced her candidacy Thursday for the U.S. House against Rep. Nancy Pelosi.

Sheehan last month said she intended to run against Pelosi, the House speaker, if the San Francisco congresswoman didn't move to impeach President Bush by July 23.

Sheehan said Thursday that Pelosi had "protected the status quo" of the corporate elite and had lost touch with people in her district, most of whom, she asserted, want American troops out of Iraq.

Nadeam Elshami, a spokesman for Pelosi, would not comment on Sheehan's candidacy but said the speaker has always opposed the war in Iraq and has focused on bringing troops home "safely and soon."

My heart goes out to this woman in her loss, but her son was a volunteer, and served his country.

She says that most people in her district want the troops out of Iraq, and I'd say she's probablly right. I want them home too, but not at the risk of our own security in the future. We cannot tuck tail and run. Peace on our own soil has always come at a price, and it's still worth that price today IMO.

I have a son as well that I hope never has to see war, but I hope that if he does that I can be proud of him, and support why he's doing it.

I lost a son in that mess that's been going on over there for about the last 500 years, but I will not cheapen my son's death by calling our troops a bunch of mis - guided souls and a lot of other things I care not to repeat, she along with Jane Fonda, Barbara Shithead and several others can just go straight to hell,

No thanks, I would not want any of those import models. My shotgun is a hand made 12 guage double barrel percussion cap muzzle loading model. Has the makers name on the stock. Love that shotgun, but it is hard to get brass ammo to fit it. Wal-mart sez they don't have anything. I guess the Chinese are using the AK-47's too.
