#4 My wife put some in the cart the other night. I threw it right back. She settled for Brighams. And I'll bet I'm not the only one who does it because I noticed it's been the only ice cream on sale every week all summer.

#5 Ben's the bozo who did not want to expand into France because they did not sign the test ban treaty. Wealthy bozos basically fund the left. It's a total misnomer that the wealthy are to the right.

Anyone who wants Sheehan's efforts to fail should encourage her to talk more. Cindy Sheehan does more damage than good for the far left's anti war message the more she talks.

Were the PR strategists really running the show they wouldn't let her open her mouth because she is a blathering idiot whose positions are left of left with her freedom fighters bullshit.

The right will crush her, guaranteed and the casualties will be those who put any faith or effort into her protest.

Cindy Sheehan INC. will backfire if the intention is to bring the center further to the left, however if the goal is to continue to solidify the left's propoganda used on its own members, then it will do just that. Moveon's constituency feeds off of this shit, and have plenty of money to throw at Sheehans effort if it works in rallying the lefties.

The left who wanted to use her should have interviewed her and wrote her positions out for her if they wanted to change any minds, but that's not what they want, they just want a postergirl antiwar widow or mother who they can point to to increase loyalty and antiwar sentiment in their base.

Again just my two cents.

#10 Cindy is like a tonic for the MSM. They just love her anti-Bush, anti-America message and it is one that they think can't be argued with because her son was killed. Well, I think they are wrong. The average person knows she is demeaning her son and all of the troops with every word she speaks. The more the radical left opens its mouth, the more they will alienate the majority of Americans.

#11 Reporter: "Can you tell us if you're getting help in airfare to come down here?"
Melanie House: "What difference does that make?"
It makes a hell of alot of difference.
This movement being financed by these groups is shameful. When they make their move to DC, I hope they don't park outside Walter Reed Hospital.

#13 Gold Star Families = Families that Honored their sons/fathers/husbands ultimate sacrifice in WWII.

Gold Star Families = Families that dishonor the ultimate sacrifice of their sons/daughters in OIF.

Disgusts me to see "Gold Star" defamed this way.

#14 Leigh- Easy, ther are almost 2,000 gold star families that are sitting quietly supporting their sons and daughters decision to defend our country and honoring thier sacrifice. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW MOONBATS THE GOLD STAR COMMUNITY DESERVES OUR TOTAL HONOR AND RESPECT. I'm sure you were only discussing the idiot in Cal.
