Has anyone noticed that Cindy Sheehan is running for the Congressional seat currently held by Nancy Pelosi? On one hand it would be funny to see Pelosi unseated by a rank amateur who's controlled by the likes of George Soros and moveon.org. On the other hand it will be making a mockery of our government in that a clearly unqualified person could somehow manage to oust the Speaker of the House. I guess it's just another crazy thing to come out of San Francisco.

Our government is supposed to be of the people, by the people, and for the people. How can a person be unqualified for a government of the people? We'd probably be alot better off if there were more regular people in office and fewer career politicians.

And Cynthia McKinney is running for President with the Green Party.

And guess what, on the east side of Atlanta, they have named a road after her.



Its commonly called "The Highway to Hell"....

...of the people, by the people, and for the people. That all sounds good in 8th grade civics but in reality it's a lot more complicated. Would you want the mayor of your city to be a high school drop out with a criminal record for theft and drug use, who cheats on his wife, is a racist, etc? The person I just described has just as much a right to office as Sheehan, does that mean he should actually be in office? Would you turst that person to look after your best interests?

The people we elect to office should at least have a little character. Sheehan doesn't.

Ahhhhhh, how can we forget this racist woman who uses Black Panthers as body guards??? I think I finally found a presidential candidate worse than Obama.

I think she ran two years ago against Nancy P and lost, doggone it.

Man...Thats funny...I realize that is the intent of the rep. party and at one time I bought into that credo...but...philosophically and factually speaking....No government in the history of man(and we gave it a good try)has ever been restrained and NEVER will be.

Governments by thier pure nature always expand...always erode the liberty of the citizens...always turn themselves twoard tyranny....until...the citizens reach their tipping point and either violently revolt or peacefully evolve....What your tipping point?

I advocate evolution not revolution.
