Cindy Sheehan Makes Ballot To Challenge Nancy Pelosi



It really shouldn't be a real challenge, but who knows, Nancy Pelosi is the one that has dragged congressional approval ratings to the lowest point in the history of polling for congressional approval. 35 years.

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan qualified Friday for a November showdown with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, collecting the signatures needed to get on the ballot as an independent candidate for Congress.

"We're very excited," said Sheehan, 51, the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq who is well-known for her protest outside President Bush's Texas ranch. "Now we have to get organized and regroup."

Republican Dana Walsh and Libertarian Philip Berg will join Pelosi and Sheehan on the Nov. 4 ballot.


Cindy Sheehan's platform is that Pelosi wouldn't impeach George Bush and even if she somehow managed the miracle of winning Pelosi's spot in Congress, she wouldn't obtain the Speaker of the House position so she couldn't impeach Bush anyway.

Still a cat fight is a cat fight and it should prove to be very interesting to see how badly Sheehan hammers on Pelsoi while Pelosi cannot say much about Sheehan because of her status as a gold star mother (lost a military child in war).

Popcorn worthy if nothing else and Sheehan says she wants traditional debates so she can challenge Pelosi on her failure as Speaker of the House.

Don Surber does point out one thing Pelosi did:

Oh wait. I forgot raising minimum wage, which we conservatives predicted would raise unemployment and increase inflation. Which it did.


Got to love that guy!!!
