I haven't bought into anything. My personal belief is that her tactics are over the top and completely push her to the fringe. Protesting is one thing, some of the other stuff (going to Venezuela) is just bizarre. I respect her right to protest and I respect her right to demand a sit down with village idot from Crawford. IMO, Bush can make her disappear by giving her two hours of his time. Do that, and he completely removes the power she wields.

She's a paid DNC operative whose soul purpose in life these days is to attempt to make Bush look bad (not that he needs the help).

Whoa, Dis, back away from the TV and have one of your kids change the channel from FauxNews. You are sounding very much like a sheep when you bleet that. (You know, I think the RNC should change their mascot from the elephant to a sheep. It's much more reflective of those who vote for the party.) A "DNC operative"? Does that job come with a with a cool wrist watch radio or a shoe phone? Do you have ANY proof to support that claim, or is this just one of those ravings from one of the usual lunatics (O'Reilly, Hannity, Coulter, etc.) who are trying to scare the **** out of you?

If one of my kids voluntarily joined the military because they believed in it (and by all accounts this describes her son Casey) I would honor the child's service even if I disagreed with it.

I don't think you would Dis. You can put on a brave face and say what you want, but your historical comments lead me to believe you would want answers, especially if the incursion was one you did not view as moral. I think you would be outraged and would demand some answers. I don't think you'd turn into the raving loon that Sheehan has, but I think you would get involved in some manner. I say that because you're a caring human being with a conscience. You really do care about others and I believe you would channel your grief in a positive way in helping others in the same predicament. You're a good person and would do what you could to make sure that the same thing didn't happen to someone else's kid.

I certainly wouldn't stalk a President claiming he won't meet with me when he already has.

Probably not. As I said, you're a rational human being.

She's a joke.

Yes, she certainly has turned into one.
