The problem with all the complainers about the congress is that nobody has the hutzpah to run against them. Oh but lets all put her down for trying, it makes us feel better! For shame if one tenth of the people tried one tenth as hard as she does, maybe we would be in a lot better place.
And since she has so many friends here, why weren't you guys at her rally?
Look, I've got no beef with Cindy in general. I just happen to think running against the Speaker of the House as an Independent isn't going to accomplish a damn thing.
Cindy Sheehan can run in the district of her choice and the term Carpetbagger is a bit dated. Like back to the Civil War.
Get real.
Cindy has stood against the corporate greed that dominates politics - BOTH parties. She is one small woman who lost her son to a fucked up POS Non-event occupation and instead of calling it a day and getting on with her life, she decided to get some answers.
I want my Congressional representative to have an understanding of the local issues of my district, the kind that only comes from living in an area and being active there for a while. I don't care for opportunists who swoop in to use my district as a stepping stone or a soap box. I'm sure most of Rep. Pelosi's constituents feel the same way. She lived in SF for nearly 20 years before she ran for Congress.
