Last August, I blogged about former Nutroots darling Cindy Sheehan’s announcement that she was going to run as an “independent candidate” against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi because of her refusal to impeach President Bush for “war crimes.” On Friday, she was at City Hall in SF filing the papers necessary to run: Peace activist Cindy [...]
Bbbbecause she’s an eeevil pro-torture warmonger just like Bushitler! Glenn Reynolds posts that you can’t actually impeach a member of Congress. Even so, it is amusing to see the woman formerly known as the left’s favorite “military mom” give it a try. Perhaps this is another reason she wants Pelosi impeached? LOL …
She’s running as an “independent”: Citing her son as inspiration, a tearful Cindy Sheehan announced her candidacy Thursday for the U.S. House of Representatives. The anti-war activist is running as an independent against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has represented San Francisco in Congress since 1987. “The country is ripe for a change,” said Sheehan, [...]
In an opinion piece she wrote for the SF Chronicle, Cindy says we need to move away from the usual party politics … and then engages in the typical party politics: I truly understand the not-so-supportive people, though, because I have been in their shoes. Here in the United States, most of us put our [...]
7/18 Updated post here: Miserable failures: Senate Dems fail to get the votes they need ——– “…and our troops deserve better than publicity stunts.” Thanks, Senate Minority Leader McConnell.

Her supporters hope she “ends the war on America!!!!” Via the AP: CRAWFORD, Texas — Bidding farewell to her former peace camp near President Bush’s ranch, Cindy Sheehan began a nearly two-week trek toward Washington D.C. on Tuesday with her sights set on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Officially announcing her run against Pelosi in 2008 [...]
“Retired” anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan says she’ll challenge Nancy Pelosi for her San Francisco seat if she doesn’t introduce articles of impeachment against the President in the next two weeks: CRAWFORD, Texas – Six weeks after announcing her departure from the peace movement, Cindy Sheehan said Sunday that she plans to run against House Speaker [...]
Rick Moran, I think, has the definitive post on the news of Mother Sheehan’s retirement from the vocal anti-war movement. Of course, the writing has been on the wall for Mother Sheehan for a while now. She hasn’t been drawing big crowds at her ‘sit-ins’ and she’s turned into someone who is beyond embarassing to [...]
Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) was nicer than he should have been in the face of the disruption. Of course he probably realizes that crowd, as part of the Nutroots faction, helped get his party elected to the majority, so showing a little ‘respect’ for Sheehan and Co. appeared to be what he chose to do [...]
Along with four other protesters. Via AP: (AP) CRAWFORD, Texas Peace activist Cindy Sheehan and four other protesters were arrested Thursday for blocking a road near President Bush’s ranch, delaying the arrival of Vice President Dick Cheney’s motorcade, authorities said. Sheehan and the others lay or sat in the road for about 20 minutes and [...]
