Wacko Cindy Sheehan cozies up to leftist dictator Chavez

WHAT?

who is this Kam person?

Freaking awesome.

 

Well, a lot of people will consider her a traitor after this. I find it all rather bizarre. It's obviously a calculated move on her part to get her word out against Bush. Too bad it's not going to change anything and this may have hurt, rather than help, her cause. Who's next? Saddam?

 

She also said she'd challenge Dianne Feinstein for her senate seat.

What planet does she live on if she thinks she can actually win?

 

Liberals + Hugo Chavez = a match made in heaven

 

So does that make shrub a right wing dictator? Because if I'm mistaken Chavez was elected by the people of Venezuela. Or is that too much for you to deal with? You can nitpick like an armchair election monitor all you want, but the fact is he was elected. Just like the f!@#ing moron in the White House. So thank's for your fair and balanced commentary.

 

cindy sheehan's son, john kerry.


seems like liberals are the ones actually defending this country. but I know, you take up for bush on a web-site. you're a real patriot, cindy lost a son to the cause, she's just a wacko.


brah

 

We do not have a good President. A large majority of Americans, today, view his presidency as a failure, and a majority of them plan to vote for someone besides a Republican in the '06 elections, which will be the beginning of this nation crawling out from under the Bush nightmare.

Having said that, I think Sheehan made a mistake to attach herself to Chavez. She is beginning to look foolish, in my opinion. She is being used by Chavez. I find it a rather sad spectacle. Sheehan is in danger of making herself irrelevant, and that is a tragedy. She's suffered enough already.



Keep D&D Civil.

 

I'll state one fact about Chavez since he was elected to office: He has destroyed any vestige of democracy left in Venezuela. He's put his cronies on the courts, at PDVSA and in all other institutions of power so that it's now impossible to get rid of Chavez other than a coup. He has set himself up as ruler for life and no institution or person in that country can challenge him. It's a classic case of once in power, change the rules to stay in power.

Sheehan praising this guy is disgraceful. It's one thing to be anti-Bush (which I am). It's another to be a pacifist and a leftist (which I am not). But it's another giant step to embrace an anti-democratic dictator who endorses Cuba, North Korea and Iran. Until reading about this, I respectfully disagreed with Sheehan on issues, especially because she lost her son in this disastrous Iraq mess. The respect is gone now. She is a pathetic sideshow, but in America you can choose what you want to be.

 

Just an FYI, futures contracts (which correctly predicted the results of the '04 POTUS election) are currently favoring the Republicans (likely either McCain or Allen) to defeat the Democrats in the '08 elections (likely with Hillary or Warner). I know you mentioned the '06 elections, but I want to make it clear that the Republicans still have a good hold on the country.

 

Wasn't aware of this. When did this happen" Could you provide a link? Thanks.

 

It's more than just one link. He didn't change things in one fell swoop. It was gradual. Whenever judges or legislators would resist what he wanted, he would act. When I run across a good expose/summary of the structural changes Chavez has made in the Venezuelan government, I'll post a link here.

If this country elects someone like Bush again in 2008, we deserve it. I don't think it will happen because Bush will be radioactive. To have a chance to win, the GOP nominee will have to run away from the Bush failures.

 

Wow this lady is definetly screwed up!

 

He "allowed" the recall referendum in 2004 (that he won). Appointing cronies sounds familiar, but this is not the same as declaring oneself ruler for life. That would indeed be very worrisome.
Actually, his policies have some positives, and the criticism is not as bad as some of the other dictators in that part of the world. However, he hasn't been particularly friendly to the US administration. He is a nationalist and has a socialist agenda. Plus he cozies up to Cuba and Libya. At the same time, Venezuela is the second largest provider of oil to the US, so he is on the hot seat.
The speed with which the earlier coup attempt by carmona was heralded by the New York Times and others was disconcerting to say the least. The Bush administration has since tried to distance itself from the coup, but at the time, it immediately endorsed the new government under businessman Pedro Carmona. I would hate for us to demonize him as a runup to his "elimination".

 

Yeah, those futures contracts did you well with USC too. They also all severely jumped to Kerry when the flawed daytime polling results starting floating around the internet. And they currently give an independent a 2.5% chance of winning the election. Keep using those futures contracts as your barometer...

 

As for Sheehan - she's a nutcase. Her original role - a grieving mother wanting an explanation - made sense. Her new moveon.org role as anti-war spokeswoman is just nutty. She's become obsessed with herself.

 

It's been that way since the beginning. Nothing about her has changed.

 

great, the idiot spews more garbage
