Well, he's obviously not an associate. <br><br>Have you noticed today's talking point is that "Cindy Sheehan has a political agenda."<br><br>"She has an agenda" just as potent as saying the Pope is Catholic. It's better than saying "she is an associate", because no one has a clue what's up with dat. Considering she founded "Gold Star Families for Peace" would have made her agenda pretty obvious. You think her critics would do her a favor and add a link to her site so her agenda is spelled out for all to read firsthand?<br><br> <br><br>

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Have you noticed today's talking point is that "Cindy Sheehan has a political agenda."<p><hr></blockquote><p>She does have a politcal agenda. Are you saying she doesn't? I'm not saying she doesn't have a right to a political agenda but an agenda she has nonetheless. Unfortunately, the Michael Moore, radical anti-war, anti-Bush left is embracing her as their new "trophy mom." I wonder how much compassion these people really have for Cindy, or are they giddy that their agenda is getting some Congressional recess face-time? <br><br>* * * * * * * * * * * * * *<br>I [censored] bigger than you.<br>

Is the Pope Catholic? How much clearer can I state it. Of course she has a political agenda [/doh!] I even gave you a link.<br><br>What other Liberal organizations do with her as their trophy is their agenda, and that is not what this discussion has been about (smells like wet straw)<br><br>
