CARACAS, Venezuela - Cindy Sheehan, the peace activist who set up camp near President Bush's Texas ranch last summer, said Saturday she is considering running against Sen. Dianne Feinstein (news, bio, voting record) to protest what she called the California lawmaker's support for the war in Iraq. ADVERTISEMENT

"She voted for the war. She continues to vote for the funding. She won't call for an immediate withdrawal of the troops," Sheehan told The Associated Press in an interview while attending the World Social Forum in Venezuela along with thousands of other anti-war and anti-globalization activists.

"I think our senator needs to be held accountable for her support of George Bush and his war policies," said Sheehan, whose 24-year-old soldier son Casey was killed in Iraq in 2004.

We already have that with Boxer and DiFi, IMO. Cindy would just dumb them down further.

[ridesthemiles]

Tom McClintock, perhaps??

[ridesthemiles]

You have to wonder if Jesse (The Extortionist) is saying "lower and slower"???

[ridesthemiles]

Diane has a gun.""

Seven, sccording to CCW records in SF.

>> There are going to split their vote. I can't wait. <<

Since no Republican has the guts to run against Feinswine in "Republican" run California, why does it matter?

[anymouse]

Run, Cindy, run! :)

Note to any respectable CA Republican: Run in the CA Republican Primary. Should Cindy manage to beat Di-Fi in the Dem Primary, then it will be a cake walk to beat her in the General Election.

Now wait a minute. Didn't Sheehan threaten to run against Feinstein if she didn't support the filibuster? This is a "new" development. Sheehan must really want to run. I say - go for it! Let the Dems waste a WHOLE buncha money in the California primary duking it out.

I have heard that Mrs. Sheehan has tax problems. I wonder who will pay that tab for her to enter the race? Sheehan needs millions to take on DF. Soros? Chavez? Who is paying for this woman to tour around America, stay at hotels and eat at restaurants all the time? I would be interested to know who is funding her.

Exactly. Cindy will actually have to declare any "gifts" made to her for travel, etc. on her income tax. Plus, with a Senatorial campaign, she'll have to actually declare where all those campaign contributions are coming from.

Who is paying for this woman to tour around America, stay at hotels and eat at restaurants all the time?

Correct that? Who is paying for this woman to tour around the WORLD, stay at hotels and eat at restaurants all the time?

Cindy is rapidly becoming the Lyndon LaRouche of the 21st Century.

[bill1952]

Which is exactly what Hillary did.

what are you nuts if Cindy wins the Dem primary the Republican would more than likely win
though best bet is she runs as a Green or something drain off votes in a general election
