1. what if you are not upset but, think she was premature
and made herself look a little silly. I don't want her to make a joke of herself but, remain a model and hero.

2. You should've added 'just don't agree with her tactic'...
That's what I would have picked. I have no reason to be pissed at her.

12. There are so many to choose from...
I didn't agree with todays. I don't feel it served much purpose and really didn't get it.

3. I'm not upset with anybody...
I understand both sides of this debate. I do think that Cindy was maybe a bit premature, but I understand her anxiousness because I think it's shared by all of us.

5. We need to move along ...

Cindy is her own voice and always has been. She speaks her mind, and even if we do not agree with what that mind produces, I believe it folly to pin the rise or fall of the Democratic Congress on her specifically.

I am upset neither with her nor with those who criticize her at this point. I simply wish people (no names) would move along with their own concerns in their own way and understand that *their* way might not be the most popular way either and that this is normal.

7. Protests happen all the time
Edited on Thu Jan-04-07 12:12 AM by LuckyX
but the media does not report them. She at least gets coverage. She has to get arrested, drug out of congress, anything to get media coverage and it's working. She doen't give a damn, if I lost my son I would do the same only I doubt they would let me out of jail.

9. If our representatives can't take the heat they should get out of the
kitchen. Keith Olberman said something of the same. something like -they should do what they were elected to do or get other jobs. We are smoking mad and somebody should say it. None of our letters get really read by the people we send them to. I always get a lovely form letter back explaining how they am against what I said and they believe I agree with them.

16. They haven't had a chance to do their job, yet.
They haven't even convened yet, for God's sake.

They were trying to do their job today when their conference was shut out. They could have waited at least until Emanuel was finished speaking.

Ethics and corruption are important, too, so say some voters.

National Exit Polls -- Corruption at Top of Voters' Minds

For the first time today, we have some actual data on the composition of the national electorate.

As reported by CNN, exit polling has begun to trickle out and -- at least in partial returns -- the data suggests corruption may be a bigger issue on voters' minds than previously imagined.

Asked what issues were "extremely important" in casting their ballots, 42 percent of voters cited corruption while 40 percent said terrorism. The economy was cited by 39 percent, and 37 percent mentioned the war in Iraq, according to the CNN report.

14. Nothing I didn't already know...
that people here will argue about absolutely anything. And I'm no exception to that most days.

I just keep telling myself it beats the hell out of everyone marching in lockstep like the rethugs do.

15. Sheehan was not alone !!!
Althought the news only mentions Sheehan, there were over 70 people also there yelling, bring the troops home now !!!. What else are we suppose to do when there are still Democrats who believe we have to add more troops and more money to this occupation. Tell me the last time CNN, MSNBC, FOX news.. had on any members of Gold Star Families for Peace, Veterans for Peace, Military Families Speak out, or Iraqi Vets Against the War ?? As vigils were held all across this nation after teh 3000 troop was killed, what News station gave more the a 2 minute sound bite ?????????
There are many more than Cindy Sheehan out there.. demanding our troops come home, cut the funding, and hold these criminals in office accountable. stop attacking Sheehan and put your energy to the really irritaing people.. like those in office or the media.
