- unlawflcombatnt, on 10/25/2008, -2/+53Though I certainly don't agree with Sheehan on everything (like illegal immigration), I'd much rather have her in Congress than a Corporate plutocrat like Pelosi.
Go Cindy! - GlobalistShill, on 10/25/2008, -2/+48Down with "impeachment is off the table", 9/11 cover-up complicit Pelosi!
- gardengrocer, on 10/25/2008, -2/+35Let's say "BYE BYE" to Nancy! Vote for Cindy.
- GovernmentSp00k, on 10/25/2008, -0/+28We know who the criminals are in office, we know we were deceived, lied to, and treated as pissants to be used for Cannon fodder and taxes.
Where was our elected, oath taken, officials in office.
They should have been protesting day and night.
Pelosi, you are not worth the price of urine, and the other sold out rats who's job is to enforce the Constitution are liars or thieves.
The puppet parade, the fine clothed, makeup coated, script reading, vote seeking, trained and polished leaders who are very well protected from the common mans plight.
You are pathetic, you have confused conscience with money and power, you disgust me.
Go and take a look at the dead children in Iraq, or have some photos sent to you, take a look at the genocide you allow, your seething bags of worms are loyal only to your egos and power and bank accounts.
Do you expect the good people of this nation to believe in you now, you are open participants in the takedown of America. - wjappe, on 10/25/2008, -1/+27Perhaps "conflict of interest issues" should be looked at more closely with our representatives, maybe they shouldn't own stocks that would have a conflict of interest with their congressional duties. Of course there is more problems withe Pelosi than that but that's a big issue I think. It sickens me of her behavior.
- inactive, on 10/26/2008, -3/+29Ron Paul has said that Nancy Pelosi's first act as Speaker was to remove a section from a bill that would have barred the U.S. from going to war with Iran without a congressional vote. When asked why she did that, Pelosi said that's what she was told to do by AIPAC.
- JONNYREBEL, on 10/25/2008, -2/+27Good luck Cindy!!!!
- TacoHell, on 10/25/2008, -1/+26You spelled Nazi Pelosi wrong.
- ljrdxyh, on 10/25/2008, -4/+22She says Ron Paul is the one true conservative and she spells Obomba because he will continue the wars.....AND she'll oust the Pelosi chick that went against her constituents and cut a pork barrel sweetheart deal with special interests and wouldn't impeach Bush....
http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=cindy%20shee ... - JiveDadson, on 10/26/2008, -1/+15Pelosi is "Bush Girl." Not only did she take impeachment off the table. Not only did she cave in to his every wish. She actually makes goo-goo eyes at him. She has a crush on him. Go to Google images and google for "pelosi bush." Let's hope that she follows the object of her affection out of office. Talk about a clear message from the people! It would say, having (D) after your name does not grant you immunity from job loss when you work for the corporate war machine.
- lazerus9, on 10/25/2008, -0/+13Do you really believe that you have any say in the political process?
I think George had it right:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KReZyAZLI0 - SatoriSeeker, on 10/26/2008, -2/+14Donated to Cindy. Hope she takes Pelosi's job! Go kick her ass Cindy!
- JustBrowsing219, on 10/26/2008, -0/+9Cindy is for a NEW INVESTIGATION of 9/11. Like you should be, unless your sleeping.
- vbullinger, on 10/26/2008, -0/+9Nice.
- Richandler, on 10/26/2008, -0/+9I do not know what the polls look like but I really hope Sheehan upsets Pelosi. My congressman in the east bay has been in office since the 70s. Unfortunately there is no strong competitor against him.
- wariscrime, on 10/25/2008, -9/+17You're losing your time trying to amend the Congress. Vitamins may help a living person, not a dead one. Democracy as we thought we knew it is dead. It's time to CHANGE the System, not to repair it.

- JATCA69, on 10/27/2008, -0/+7If impeachment is off the table, then you Nancy should be out of Congress, vote Cindy in on November 4th!!!
- BelatedHero, on 10/26/2008, -2/+9I cannot stand Nancy Pelosi OR Harry Reid. Whenever I see either of them on TV I cringe.
- JiveDadson, on 10/26/2008, -1/+7Go to Ms. Sheehan's web site and sign up as a phone volunteer. Time is short.
- algaeturd, on 10/26/2008, -0/+5Sheehan doesn't stand a chance unfortunately. As much as I'd like to see Pelosi get ousted, there are too many people out there who are anti-pelosi. It blows my mind that any democrat would vote for Pelosi the same way it blows my mind that any republican would vote palin. The saddest part is that Pelosi will be protected by her constituents most likely. Evne though she spoiled congress, impeachment and ruined this bailout deal. She has no business being in congress.
And that's the difference between most democrats and most republicans...I can SEE when a democrat sucks and I'll not support him or her if they do suck. Most republicans just seem to support any and every republican even when they suck at what they do. Pelosi sucks on ANY side. - rmxz, on 10/26/2008, -0/+5Interestingly Pelosi holds a lot of stock in many bay-area high tech companies (eBay, Apple, Cisco, MontaVista(!), SalesForce, etc) hey, that's actually pretty cool), in addition to her real-estate in San Francisco and Vineyards that she's perhaps better known for. You can check out her assets here:

- Nannybell, on 10/26/2008, -3/+3Except that the Democrat Party is continuing to slide more and more to the Left. At what point will you admit it is becoming Marxist? The Founders did not establish a Marxist state.
- SheilaNoya, on 10/26/2008, -2/+2Pelosi certainly has her faults, but putting Cindy Sheehan in her place is a HUGE mistake.
Sorry, but we need someone a lot smarter than Cindy Sheehan to be making decisions that affect us all.
Cindy Sheehan is brave for speaking out against the war and she has become a national hero for that, BUT she is not qualified to be a U.S. Senator. I've donated money to Cindy Sheehan and the Crawford Peace House when Sheehan was camping out near Bush's ranch, but I DO NOT want Cindy Sheehan in the Senate. - JustBrowsing219, on 10/26/2008, -1/+1Carpet Bagger? You must be talking about Baltimore Pelosi. CINDY WAS BORN IN CALIFORNIA AND RAISED HERE! Check you facts.
I assume the Pelosi supporter thinks towing the party line is more important than placing accountability for TORTURE, SPYING ON AMERICANS, AND WAR ENABLING.
Sheehan had "no reason to care about her son dying in Iraq"? What planet are you from? Callous statements like that make me wonder about the heart typing them, and how their ethics were purchased by silver spoon politics.
I suppose a role model for little girls should be doing things like cleaning up toxic radiological waste in her district. Instead YOUR ROLE MODEL is as corrupt as they come. Her personal investments in AIG are profiting on our taxed backs. She suppressed the minimum wage increase in the American Samoan Islands, to make her Del Monte foods investments "more competitive. After which she ear marked 33 million for an Economic Credit for the American Samoan Isles. Again, from your tax dollars.
Please wake up. A vote for Cindy is a vote for accountability, EVEN IF IT IS IN PROTEST of self serving Pelosi.
I suppose people that attack dissenters, think that towing the line is all the political acumen you need.
Get a clue.
VOTE FOR CINDY!

Get out on the Streets with us! - barfooz, on 10/26/2008, -1/+2You're old enough that you should know that every time some crisis comes along, people think it's time to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Our government has stood for 232 years. It has withstood Watergate, the Great Depression, numerous recessions, two world wars, McCarthyism, the Civil War, but NOW we are falling apart. Do you seriously believe that it is time for us to change the system? This is a minor issue in the grand scheme of history.
The government works just as it always has, slightly corruptly and mostly inefficiently. That doesn't change the fact that in human history, no nation has ever found a more successful form of governance than representative democracy. Governing a nation of 300 million people is and will always be an imperfect science. Do you think there is any leadership in our country on par with James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, et al., who could form something better? - JustBrowsing219, on 10/26/2008, -0/+0Cindy IS NOT A DEMOCRAT AN LONGER! She's RUNNING TO PROTEST AGAINST A DEMOCRAT! Watch who you call idiot, please, before you type.
- Nannybell, on 10/26/2008, -2/+1You are wrong about that. I have been voting Republican because the Democrat Party has gone Marxist with all its entitlement programs and efforts at curtailing liberties stated plainly in the Constitution, plus their efforts at encoding into law things I believe are utterly immoral. That's why I cannot vote for Democrats. And voting third party is a waste of time because it will only elect Democrats. I have little choice until such time as a third party that represents my views has grown large enough to be elected. And Republicans do indeed at least represent the liberties that the Founding Fathers established rather than a nanny state like socialist nations in Europe, which apparently is what today's Democrat Party is working toward.
I cannot understand why you Democrats believe that it is just lies that Obama is a socialist with socialist associates. Have you looked at these things at all to see if they are true? I have. The man is a Marxist. He has been surrounded by radicals and socialists his entire life. Everywhere one looks, one is bumping into socialists and radicals around him. It is simply a fact, not to mention that he was a 20-year member of a black-nationalist liberation-theology church where the pastor teaches his congregation to be antagonistic toward whites. Are you white? Obama's pastor is antagonistic toward you. Since he "discipled" Obama for 20 years, do you think it is even remotely possible Obama agrees with him?
Does it not bother you that Obama admits attending socialist conferences and seeking out Marxist professors as friends and stated that he did not feel comfortable in the Western World (= America, for one)? And that his mentor "Frank" from his youth turns out to be the well-known black communist poet Frank Davis who wrote a porno "fictionalized"(?) memoir under a pseudonym, in which a man and his wife had a sexual relationship with a 13 yr old girl? He admitted later that he was indeed the author and that things in that memoir were indeed based on actual experiences.
These things are not lies. They are FACTS. Where are Obama's friends who are NOT socialist, if they exist?
And what do you do in your mind with the information that in 2006 Obama went to Kenya and campaigned for his cousin Odinga, a man who is openly Marxist and who named his first son Fidel Castro Odinga? And do you know that some outfit called Friends of Obama gave a huge donation to Odinga's campaign? Does that not bother you at all when considering whether or not Obama himself is a Marxist and whether he might be just a little bit TOO interested in what is going on in Kenya?
John McCain is NOT George Bush. He is his own man and much of what he favors are things that Democrats can and do agree with. He did not agree with how the War in Iraq was prosecuted and criticized the administration for that.
Regarding the War in Iraq, have you considered the possibility that Democrats have lied to you about their attitude on that? Have you considered that they intentionally set you up to hate George Bush about Iraq just to get your vote? If they really thought the war was wrong and that people were dying needlessly, why did they not force a withdrawal of our troops as soon as they took power after the 2006 election, hmmm? Have you considered that there is just the remotest possibility that they have been privy all along to intelligence telling them that the War in Iraq really was precisely the most strategic thing to do? - Nannybell, on 10/26/2008, -4/+3Cindy Sheehan is an idiot, but Pelosi is a worse idiot. You Democrats sure know how to pick 'em. I would greatly appreciate an explanation as to why you are voting for Obama when he has so many documented ties to socialists and radicals, including his own cousin in Kenya, an open Marxist who named his first son Fidel Castro Odinga. Obama campaigned for him in Kenya in 2006 and donated a large amount of money to him through some outfit called Friends of Obama. Why doesn't that bother you?
Why doesn't it bother you that everywhere we look, Obama is surrounded by radicals, Marxists, and black-nationalist liberation-theologists, going all the way back into his youth? Where are his friends and associates who are NOT socialists? These things are true. Do you even investigate them, or do you just accept it from the Democrats that they aren't true?
And are you socialists yourselves? I suppose I should find that out first; because if you do favor taking this nation over for socialism, that would explain your love of Obama. It doesn't matter what he's telling you. It's what he actually believes that counts.
I don't want America taken over by Marxism. Do you? Have you taken an honest look at the Democrat Party these days to see how far Left it has drifted? Do you have some pet one-issue agenda you desire the Democrats to make happen for you? And are you willing to have the entire nation go into Marxism as a consequence of that because you continue to vote for Democrats? - Ralphdraw3, on 10/26/2008, -2/+1You want to unseat speaker Pelosi???
VOTE RETHUGLICAN!!!!! - Nannybell, on 10/26/2008, -3/+2When guilt by association is fair game
By Jeff Jacoby (The Boston Globe)
http://jewishworldreview.com/jeff/jacoby101608.php ...
Early in his 1980 campaign for president, Ronald Reagan spoke at the Neshoba County Fair near Philadelphia, Miss., a town infamous for the murder of three civil rights workers in 1964. In the course of remarks dealing mostly with economics and education, he said: "I believe in states' rights. I believe in people doing as much as they can at the community level and the private level."
Reagan should have known better than to use a phrase like "states' rights," however innocuously, in a place like Mississippi. His campaign appearance wasn't a veiled appeal to segregationists - Reagan was no racist - but for more than a quarter-century, that is how his detractors on the left have spun it. Bob Herbert wrote in The New York Times last year that Reagan went to Mississippi "to assure the bigots that he was with them."
It's an ugly calumny - and a good example of guilt by association at its most poisonous.
A more recent example occurred in 2000, when George W. Bush made a campaign stop at Bob Jones University, a school known for anti-Catholicism and a ban on interracial dating. Other than that single brief visit, Bush had no tie to Bob Jones. He hadn't studied there, never supported it financially, didn't share its racial or religious views. Nevertheless, he was sharply criticized for his appearance. The media declared it a "defining moment" of Bush's campaign, and many of his critics (including then-rival John McCain) pronounced him guilty by association of aligning himself with Bob Jones's noxious teachings.
One other illustration: the bludgeoning of Samuel Alito during his Supreme Court confirmation hearings in 2006. Senate Democrats led by Ted Kennedy pummeled Alito over his membership in the long-defunct Concerned Alumni of Princeton, a conservative group in which Alito had never played an active role. A former ROTC cadet, he had joined the organization in support of its call for restoring the military program to Princeton. But because it had also blasted racial and gender preferences in admissions, Kennedy and other Democrats insinuated that Alito must be a bigot.
In none of these cases was there anything like the long relationship that Barack Obama had for so many years with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the incendiary, America-damning pastor he described for years as his mentor, his sounding board, and his friend. In none of them was there anything comparable to Obama's significant involvement with William Ayers, the domestic-terrorist-turned-extremist-professor with whom Obama worked closely at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, channeling more than $100 million into radical education projects.
Nor was anything in the Reagan, Bush, or Alito episodes akin to Obama's highly profitable relationship with Tony Rezko, the crooked Chicago businessman and political fixer who was convicted in June on multiple counts of fraud, corrupt solicitation, and money laundering. In the course of their 17-year relationship, Rezko directed hundreds of thousands of dollars to Obama's political war chests; he also facilitated the Obamas' purchase of a $1.6 million mansion by agreeing to buy the adjoining lot from the same seller.
More and more loudly, Obama's defenders have been insisting that to call attention to these deplorable associations is to engage in ridiculous and unfair "guilt by association."
But it isn't ridiculous to question the values of a candidate whose political career got its start in the Chicago living room of violent traitors like Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, who have never expressed remorse for the brutal crimes they committed in the Weather Underground. There is nothing unfair about wondering how Obama could have worshipped for 20 years in Wright's church, yet never objected to the fanatic pastor's virulent messages: that AIDS was created by the US government as an instrument of genocide, that America is the "US of KKKA," that the 9/11 slaughter was "America's chickens coming home to roost."
Guilt by association? Not when the associations have such deep roots or raise such troubling questions about Obama's character and judgment. It was only in the heat of a presidential campaign that Obama finally repudiated his alliances with Ayers, Wright, and Rezko. It isn't irresponsible to ask what those associations tell us about a man poised to be the next president of the United States. It would be irresponsible not to.

Jewish World Review Oct. 16, 2008 / 17 Tishrei 5769 - fadeout, on 10/26/2008, -5/+2Sheehan's crazy ass is one of the few people I want in a position of power even less than Pelosi.
- Rhotel1, on 10/26/2008, -5/+1I presume that most of these trash Pelosi people neither understand politics nor what it means when you do not have a veto proof majority, or live in Representative Pelosi's Congressional District - Sheehan is a carpet bagger who moved into the District to run for office -- hope she really is a District resident - remember Ed Jew, he was not a resident - Sheehan had reason to care about why her son died in Iraq and demand an accounting, but then she went over the edge and she certainly would not be any kind of Congressional presence other than disruptive subject to the whims of the fanatics and zealots who love to DIGG this. I wish that we had moved to SF so that I could vote for Nancy Pelosi - she is a true role model for little girls.
- inactive, on 10/25/2008, -8/+4Unseating the Speaker would be priceless whoever beats her. A wacko like Sheehan makes it even more attractive. It is pleasant to think about but I don't think it will happen.
- inactive, on 10/25/2008, -11/+6Stop trying to incite a rebellion in America, Frenchie.
- inactive, on 10/26/2008, -7/+1***** cindy sheehan. I lost what little respect I had for her when I found out she was a 9/11 troofer.
- Ralphdraw3, on 10/25/2008, -10/+3Sheehan has already lost her focus and her credibility - her focus used to be and still should be, ending the war in Iraq.
NOTE TO SHEEHAN: THE BAILOUT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WAR IN IRAQ. CONGRESS COULD REJECT THE BAILOUT
BUT CONGRESS COULD - AND VERY WELL MIGHT - CONTINUE FUNDING THE WARS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN... -
