		<description>Hi D.R.:

I'd respond but your not worth the effort, and I'm not here to convince you. I'll only make one observation. I don't and won't question your education, only your sophistication.
I wish you well, Bob.</description>

		<description>Really, sarcasm doesn't cut it in the big leagues (which you wrongly assume you are playing in)?

Johnathan Swift must have played in the minors with Schopenhauer, Goethe, Camus, Sartre . . . etc. etc.

Clearly, though - you are far surperior to the above.

You keep making it sound like this is a revelation.  Show me a politician who never fabricated a single thing.  You fabricate things.  I fabricate things.  It is quite (quite) immaterial. 

People will tell you what they think you will most respond to, and what will lead to your contributing the most to them.  This is not a secret, or a revelation.  If you think  it is, than you need to " grow up and start thinking as an adult."

		<description>Good morning Hue.
Calling me Wendy is your best shot? Amazing! As for my politeness, I guess we can disagree while still keeping it civil.  

The "one small part" of the story we have been referring to is a fabrication. What Ms. Sheehan asserts is not credible( I believe I have illustrated that sufficiently). If in fact she is willing to fabricate a portion of her story to enhance the credibility of the story, it calls into question her honesty.  Secondly if she was duped into printing  a non credible story it calls into question her judgment.  Ms. Sheehan discredited herself.  Anyone who then reads and then defends it as factual, calls into question their own sophistication.

Listen this has been fun, but I'm going to move on now. I hope the weather where you are is better than here, its been raining the last few days. I hope it stops soon, I need to plant my Sun Flower seeds.  I feed the birds all winter with them. You take care.

Bob

PS.  D.R. sarcasm and profanity just don't cut in the big leagues.  Grow up and start thinking as an adult. Just some friendly advise.</description>

		<description>Woah, woah . . . Bob, you are suggesting politicians fabricate stories?  Or *gasp* even out-right lie!?

Holy shit, this is news to me.  When did this start happening?

I sure hope it doesn't become a trend.  Who knows, we may even have a President some day that might be lying or fabricating stories!  This IS as big a deal as you are making it!  We should IGNORE all facets of a piece and just focus on one minute area of insignificant detail.  This is the most productive thing to do, anyway.

Don't you agree, Bob?</description>

		<description>OK Bob

You're intentionally missing the point of the article by attempting to discredit one small part of it which as you can see from the responses here, does not make Cindi Sheehan naive for believing or a liar thinking that we are stupid and will. 

So you just dropped in to discuss that?  

But my "best shot" would have to be noticing your similar choice of a name, syntax, arrogance and faux well wishes of that of another Cindi Sheehan troll, Wendy

Your arguments for ACL tears being no big deal are insane, but you addressed Kim...</description>

		<description>We need impeachment to proceed. We shouldn't vote for anyone who takes impeachment off the table. While there is much to admire about Nancy Pelosi, I'd vote for Cindy Sheehan if I lived there. Let's demand impeachment!!</description>

		<description>Frank Bubo says it all. The Constitution  demands no less.
Nader is calling for an IMPEACHMENT agenda .
Any candidate not calling for the IMPEACHMENT process  is working for the banksta crims who are destroying the USA.
The world will reject the USA dollar as long it is not backed by Justice  and this is only indicated by IMPEACHING the administration that has  abetted this treason.
The USA is completely at the mercy of the market forces it helped unleash.The dollar game is over and it will take a stiff dose of the truth to wake the world's consumer  class up. The producers are going to reject worthless paper that cannot be exchanged for food and real tools for a better life. Illusions die hard but citizens of the USA are in for it like the rest of us. Gated  communities will be the first choice of  hungry hordes. Society is only about distribution .</description>

		<description>Bob,
Since you are not, I assume, a doctor or an orthopedic surgeon, upon what do you base your assertion?
Are you suggesting that a torn ACL is no big deal? That 22-year-old men should put their health at risk -- and for what: an illegal and immoral war!? What is your reasoning here?
And case studies do not necessarily generalize to others.
As someone who has had a torn ACL (on more than one occasion), I know that what is required is to stay off one's feet and engage in physiotherapy.</description>

		<description>Impeachment of Bush and Cheney et al. is not an option, it is a duty for all of the Congress.  Impeachment is not the removal of the accused, it is the accusation leading to a trial.  Impeachment, if properly done, would allow the public to finally have access to many truths that have been swept under the rug by the government and the compliant media.  
Impeachment would stall the "progress" of the warmongering, corrupt administration and help save lives -- American lives,  Iraqi lives, and lives in countries the administration still longs to attack.

Impeachment should be the number one priority of the entire government and it is a travesty that it is off the table.   The election of Cindy Sheehan cannot solve this immediate problem, but it can help reverse the course of history by replacing a professional politician with a person of conscience in the U.S. Congress.</description>

		<description>If Bush &#38; Cheney are not to be held accountable for insults to the Constitution, for kidnapping and torture and the illegal invasion of Iraq and the killing of approximately a million people, shouldn't the many thousands of victimless 'criminals' held in US jails be set free?

If what Bus &#38; Cheney have done does not merit accountability, then surely nothing does.

Letting them off is a cowardly act and a dereliction of duty.</description>

		<description>"One young woman, Ashley, told me that her husband had a torn ACL and the military would not let him come home from Iraq. He is 22 and the continued stress will probably leave him permanently disabled and 
he is doing a job he was not trained for. "

I assert that the previous statement is a fabrication by Ms. Sheehan, or a fabricated story told to her.  I'm astounded more the readers haven't realized it. Does she believe we are all stupid, or is she that naive? I don't know maybe some of us are. 

First a torn ACL isn't a permanently debilitating injury. Don't believe me, ask any Orthopedic surgeon. Many former pro football players played large portions of their careers without them(the days before surgical repairs). 

Second the knee surgery can be delayed for years, I personally know a man, whose recreation is  power lifting. He functioned for more than a decade without an ACL and MCL (he finally had his knee repaired after wrenching it playing volleyball). 

Third, a Marine(assumption) doing a job he wasn't trained for. What job? Supply clerk or brain surgeon? Since all Marines are combat trained(including the women) I am left to assume he is doing a job far less physically demanding, and more administratively centered. Or otherwise know as boring!

It's easy to write as Ms. Sheehan writes. Facts aren't important. If the facts don't support her narrative, she fabricates them.  I am surprised and disappointed at the enthusiasm her story is greeted with, in fact it saddens me.

I could go on, but enough said.</description>

		<description>Ms. Sheehan has been a voice of the people for a very long time.  And she does it only for the Love of this country.  But it strikes me odd, that a female speaker, Nancy Pelosi, takes the low road instead of the high one which I would expect a female to take, given the repression of the status quo, white males, on their given gender.  Quite troubling.   It is a conditioned response akin to the Stockholm Syndrome.  

Females and minorities, I being a Black Male, time and time again throughout our history in these You-Nited States, get into positions of power, then get scared to rock the boat because they are in it.  But isn't that why they decided to get into the boat to begin with?</description>

		<description>Bravo, Cindy Sheehan!! WE need leaders like you!! Thank you for running for office. When I hear their nonsense as to why a treasonous president ought not be held accountable for his &#38; his administrations' actions as being "too divisive" it makes me unable to support any Democrats. It sets a precedent for continued abuse of the american people, not to mention the people of Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Korea, and wherever else the war parties decide to drop bombs and ruin lives. 

"Viability" is used again and again to stop us from doing what is right. We who want real change in our government have to ignore them and keep on working towards the changes - by supporting other parties (maybe we should stop referring to ourselves as "third" parties; we are other parties, outside of the box thinkers). If I lived in your district, I would definitely vote for you - more and more progressives need to run for office wherever there is a lack of a progressive voice, regardless of "viability": the message is what is important right now, not winning (although that would certainly be nice!)</description>
