A Cindy Sheehan Prediction By Patrick Hynes on Nancy Pelosi Ankle Biting Pundits Regarding this: <<< CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - Cindy Sheehan bid farewell to her former “peace camp” near President Bush’s ranch and began a nearly two-week trek Tuesday toward Washington, D.C., with her sights set on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Sheehan, a Californian, officially announced that she intends to run as an independent against Pelosi in 2008 if the San Francisco congresswoman doesn’t move to impeach Bush by July 23, the day she expects to reach Washington. “I know what Californians care about,” Sheehan said. “They don’t care about the ruling power elite.” Sheehan first told The Associated Press on Sunday about her plans to challenge the top-ranking Democrat. She made it official Tuesday at Camp Casey, named after her 24-year-old son, whose death in Iraq first led Sheehan to set up camp in Crawford in 2005 to demand a meeting with Bush, who was on vacation at the time. Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly said Tuesday that Pelosi’s “focus is on ending the war in Iraq.” “She believes that the best way to support our troops in Iraq is to bring them home safely and soon,” Daly wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. “Democrats will continue to hold the Bush Administration accountable by having votes in July to change course in Iraq; to responsibly redeploy our troops; and to refocus our effort on protecting Americans from terrorism.” But Sheehan said that’s not enough. “You can’t bring the troops home if you give George Bush $100 billion to wage this war,” she said Tuesday. “You’re not supporting them. You’re keeping them in harm’s way.” Sheehan says Bush should be impeached because she believes he misled the public about the reasons for going to war, violated the Geneva Convention with the torture of detainees and crossed the line by commuting the prison sentence of former vice presidential aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby. >>> … Let me make a prediction: regardless of whether or not Speaker Nancy Pelosi pursues impeachment against President Bush, Cindy Sheehan will not run for Congress. Why? Because this is another ridiculous publicity stunt by a terribly troubled woman. Let me also say that by out-moonbatting Nancy Pelosi, Sheehan is just helping to mainstream the radical left in America anklebitingpundits.com breitbart.com
