A year after her first war protest in President Bush's adopted hometown attracted thousands and reinvigorated the nation's peace movement, Cindy Sheehan resumed her vigil Sunday.

Under the blazing Texas sun, Sheehan and more than 50 demonstrators again marched a mile and a half toward Bush's ranch, stopping at a roadblock. As Secret Service agents stood silently, Sheehan held up her California driver's license and said she wanted to meet with the president.

"It doesn't say my new address, but I do live here now," said Sheehan, who lives in Berkeley, Calif., and recently bought land in Crawford for war protests. "My name is Cindy and Bush killed my son."

The group then chanted, "This is what democracy looks like! This is what democracy sounds like!" and a few people sang "This Land Is Your Land" while standing near the roadblock before returning to the protest site.

White House spokesman Tony Snow has said that neither Bush nor his staff plan to meet with Sheehan.

"I would advise her to bring water, Gatorade or both," Snow said when asked about Sheehan during a press briefing Friday. "Honestly, when you're talking about the kind of issues that we're talking about, Cindy Sheehan hasn't risen to the level of staff meetings at this point."

"My name is Cindy and Bush killed my son."

The ditch-witch is back. I keep hoping she'll ignore Tony's advice and get heatstroke.

So why hold up a CA license?

Saw a few pics of the ditch-b*tch today, and one or two had captions stating she was wiping tears during some religous service. Tears my foot - no one wipes tears from above their eyes! She's out there in Crawford sweating like the pig she is... and I'm lovin' it!

August in central Texas, perfect place for the ditch witch. I hope the Texas sun fries her brain.

"Earlier Sunday, about 50 protesters attended an interfaith service Sunday on the 5 acres that Gold Star Families for Peace recently bought with insurance money Sheehan received after her oldest son, Casey, died in Iraq in 2004." "She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named also used the insurance money to purchase a lovely marble memorial for her son's grave to commemorate his..."...what? She didn't? Oh, that's right. She spits on his grave and abuses his name for her own gains every opportunity she gets. Feh. Never mind.

Before we hit November 2008, The Shemale Senator from New York will be swappin spit with the Sheeman from Vacaville.

Lol, now that's funny and I totally agree. Yeah, I heard the grave dancer is back with her crocodile tears, hippies, mutants and all. I don't know who's voice is more annoying, her's or Shrillary's. Like nails on a black board I tell ya.

[OkeyDokeyOkie]

The ditch-witch is back. I keep hoping she'll ignore Tony's advice and get heatstroke.

Oh, no! As a Republican, I want to keep Cindy healthy. I want her weatherbeaten visage and her shrill voice to fill the airwaves as reminders of just how obnoxious liberals are.

"I hope the Texas sun fries her brain."

How will we know?

[don-o]

a few people sang "This Land Is Your Land"

What happen with "Kumbaya"?

That's what you 'posed to sing and "We Shall Overcome"

Getting off to a poor start here.
