I so respect Cindy for not giving up, even while this plan seems so hopeless. Even if we can shut down traffic in DC; that won't shut down the government. And it won't get any media coverage, in this country at least. The listener who asked, "can't the Left do anything besides stop traffic" had a point. But what's the alternative strategy? I agree with Glenn, above. I wish she could have answered Scott about reaching out to the antiwar conservatives and libertarians, but she's not a great speaker. She just has a great heart.

I really wish Cindy and her supporters the best.

To attract the "Ron Paul" crowd, the main ideal or message that is most attractive is freedom. That means reducing or eliminating both foreign and domestic intervention at the federal level.

For me, if I know she is for ending the invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, yet does not call for the end of the U.S. Empire, she'll just get my well-wishes.

It is an inconsistent idealogy to oppose two explicit examples of foreign intervention and implicitly support more domestic intervention.

Agian, I wish her the best.

dnn….Dude, Cant you do a little better than "Go spam your conspiracy nutjob site elsewhere"

A few facts maybe or at least a theory..!!! Was unignited thermite actually found in the dust??

And, really…. Do you believe that the 911 commission's werk was thorough and probing..??

What about the anthrax….. Do you buy the official story on that too..??? Does ANY deviation

from what those in power at the time told us…. ever enter your mind..?? What about

appointing America's fomer No. 1. War Crimina to oversee the panel..?? Does it raise any

questions in your mind…….about the sincerity of our dear leader who at the time.appointed

him…??l It sure is bliss to see a benign motive in the governments actions in 911……….

"Nutjobs"? These people are scientists and engineers who are drawing conclusions based upon their knowledge of structural & mechanical engineering coupled with physical evidence. I would say that a better definition of a "nutjob" is a motormouth with a microphone who plays to people's emotions… RL would be a good example along with Hannity and O'Reilley.

Damn straight.

Sheehan is indeed a principled war opponent. She opposed the former Chickenhawk-in-Chief's war(s), and now she's opposing President Obama The Divine's war(s). Too bad so many of the The Great One's supporters don't have this intellectual and moral clarity.

If the District of Corruption went on permanent vacation, it would be fine with me.

"I am done with great things and big things, great institutions and big success. And I am for those tiny, invisible, molecular moral forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootlets or like the capillary oozing of water, yet which, if you give them time will rend the hardest monuments of man's pride."
