I support Cindy Sheehan 65-75%
That make me a bad person?

I support her Crawford protest and wearing a Tshirt last night. I don't support her going to deep in the political realm with speeches because to me it hurts her common man message. No I'm not saying she doesn't have a RIGHT just saying there are some things she's effective on and other things she's not.

Guess that makes me a rePUKE.

Of course not.

I just wish we'd move past fickle. The small shit is NOTHING compared to the very real dangers to our people and our country.

We can NOT afford to be fickle. We can't!!!

3. AMEN!
The difference between us and the freeptards is that WE don't all march in LOCKSTEP.

4. Uh...
I don't know. Try mentioning on here that you don't think that Diebold is the biggest issue facing the country right now, or that maybe Cindy Sheehan isn't some sort of messianic angel sent from heaven to save us all, or that maybe perhaps there are issues that the american public does not agree with us on and that we may need to temper our rhetoric on, and then read the responses and tell me that we don't have a sizable portion of people in our midst who want lockstep just as much as the freepers.

I'm not saying I've said, think, or agree with any of the 3 examples I gave but they are no doubt things that will get you just as beaten up and flamed on here as saying that Bush might not be a good president will in freeperland.

8. My experiences have been quite different.
But, then, I tend to acknowledge all sides rather than get stuck in any facet.

Diebold IS a danger to voters' rights.
Cindy IS an impactful voice.
We should ALWAYS consider refining our message to reach all our fellow human beings.

:shrug:

I don't know how else to respond to your expreriences except, maybe, "lighten up, a bit". :hug:

9. Freeper! Troll! Unamerican!! Did you lose a son in Iraq. Huh, huh, huh?!?!
Ahem...

Indeed. I know what you mean.

Cindy is welcome to exersize her free speech. And so should everyone else, pro and con, as long as it's kept civil.

As for Cindy, I just think she will never match the power and poignancy of the Crawford protest.

15. Anyone who stands against the Democratic Party at this
extremely dangerous juncture in time is, in my opinion, a Republican fascist. Unless we change the political system from the one our forefathers left us to one that has real checks and balances, and a fair system of elections, the Democratic Party is our only hope right now, and playing stupid gee-whom-shall-I-vote-for games will just lead to more 2-term Bush Administrations. Anyone who works towards a repeat performance of the Bush Administration is a fascist.

5. I feel the same way
Edited on Wed Feb-01-06 08:46 PM by Raine
but it's not a popular opinion to express here, seems if you don't go along 100% you are a repuke or even worse a freeper according to some. :-(

6. I think she proved that protest is being made illegal here.
It got the issue in the media.

7. Dissent is being made illegal here. That is destructive to democracy.
She has been impactful. She's a very, gentle human being, too,...which makes her quite threatening to the predators.

11. please just tell me what you
and others are talking about. if i dont agree with sheehan 100% am i a predator. and what did you say in you thread you started. if i dont agree 100% am i that person you said in your thread. i listen to people say there are about five loud mouths. flipping people off.

i mean are you talking extreme posts of ridicule and disdain, or are you talking about all people that dont want sheehan to be there voice in all things

i support sheehan and her efforts. fully. i dont support her as a democrat because she has her fight, and it has nothing to do with the dem party. if it were to mean taking down the party, that would not stand in her way. i can respect and understand that , but i dont support that.

am i the predator, the freeper, the shrill, coward, brownshirt

no one will answer. just post after post with general digs.

is it all people that dont idol worship this woman that are predators.

16. There's no one I agree with 100% of the time.
Not even Howard Dean, whose babies I would gladly bear.

I vote for lots of people I'm not in perfect harmony with: expecting absolute perfection (as defined by one's self) from our leaders is a mistake, in my opinion.

"Support" is a kind of meaningless word, doncha think?

17. Then you should be 28% ashamed of yourself.
You're one of those freeptard troll perverts who don't see the world in black and white.

21. Nope. Not unless she's the only Democrat running and you don't vote or
you vote for someone else.
