Cindy Sheehan Calls it Quits
After a few years and tonnes of PR Cindy Sheehan is hanging up the towel.
After such a long run of anti-war protests what has she accomplished?
Not much.
Her first goal of meeting Bush and changing his mind on Iraq policy was never accomplished.
After sitting in a drainage ditch in Crawford, Texas she moved on to greener pastures i.e. Congress. There she was able to assist in the democrat takeover of Congress in '06. This takeover really can't be called a victory because all of the newly elected "anti-war" democrats decided to fund the war rather than not fund the war. I bet that burned.
She purchased a 5 acre spread in Crawford to be used as a peace camp, hippie commune or coffee shop. Now the land is up for sale and the poor little hippie folk won't have a field to sleep in anymore.
I do feel somewhat sympathetic towards Cindy. Her message was with merit, but corrupted by those around her. When she called the democrats to task on the Iraq funding the liberal blogoshpere lit into her like it was no one's business. The big D's in the democrat party used her as a pawn and now that they are done with her she will be treated like trash.

I'm almost 60. I KNOW the Cindy's of the world and all their followers. They like making a lot of noise but rarely solve anything of importance. And a mother using her dead child to make a political statement? Reminiscent of the '60's. Cindy wanted lots more than 15 minutes of fame, got it, the country either hated or loved her, and now she's back in California. She needs to think about heading to Canada (they love her there, according to blogs) or perhaps Venezuela??? Now that Cindy has some free time, she needs to bone up on world history, specifically European and American... does she really think VietNam and Iraq are the first pathetic wars ever fought? Cindy, start studying. Our country is chock full of 'pretty' people all jockeying to be king or queen of the mountain. Political science majors, lawyers... spare us!!! You got used, but then you used many, many people yourself, didn't you.
