Cindy Sheehan for Senate
I am really pumped about the “Cindy Sheehan for Senate campaign”. In fact I am very tempted to send the woman a donation. I know what you are saying “But Howie you are an ardent conservative and Cindy, well Cindy is a raving lunatic. Why would you send her money?” The answer is that Cindy’s campaign will be absolutely priceless. Just take a look at how it got started.
There is Cindy, in Venezuela standing next to Hugo Chavez. Yes the avowed enemy of the United States and close ally of Fidel Castro. Cindy decided that the best time to announce that she would be running for Senate was moments after embracing him on national television. I believe that this marks the first time that the words “down with the U.S. empire” were stated to mark the beginning of a senatorial campaign. Apparently Cindy wants to be a senator of what her good friend Hugo called “the most perverse, murderous, genocidal, immoral empire in history.”
That’s why I am so excited about what we are going to see in the upcoming weeks and months of the Cindy for Senate campaign. This Tuesday night Cindy is going to take part in what has to be another first for a senatorial campaign. She is going to be standing outside while President Bush gives his state of the Union and she will be making noise by using “drums, pots pans and [and other] musical instruments.” She will be standing outside shrieking and yelling while the grownups are inside listening to the President of the United States. I couldn’t have scripted a more humiliating display for Liberalism and now this woman wants to become a United States Senator. By all means Cindy, please, the more often that you make a fool out of yourself on live television the bigger the smile that will sit on my face.
Cindy will be running against far left democrat Diane Feinstein because apparently Diane isn’t quite liberal enough for her. Despite what is obvious to normal people Cindy is convinced that Diane has secretly been in support of the Iraq war is up to her to set the Senator straight. I am almost giddy trying to imagine the campaign adds that will run in this campaign. The Democrats have awarded Cindy the title of “the moral compass of the American people” and decided that it is a sin to dispute her rantings. How is Feinstein going to be able to run against this woman? If she says that Diane was secretly in support of the war, then it must be true. I mean Cindy lost her son in the war; she couldn’t possibly be wrong or lying. How dare you even make such an insinuation? Its going to be nearly pornographic if these two start to trade barbs at one another in the media. Did you ever wonder what the democrats in power really thought of a wacko like Cindy? This might just be our one chance to find out.
But wait, it might get even better, can you imagine what would happen if she won? Cindy wouldn’t even need an apartment in Washington. She would just move her tent and camp out right in front of the Senate. She wouldn’t need a staff; she would just bring “Camp Cindy” and set up a new shanty town right there with her. It would save the tax payers millions. Are you sure that this woman isn’t secretly a Republican? Can you imagine Cindy on the senate floor arguing with a real Senator like Orin Hatch, Tom Cobrun or Sam Brownback? “"I am the moral compass of America. No one can disagree with me". She would be a one woman filibuster and that is just on the bills that she wanted to pass. The Democrats wouldn't need a party whip anymore. Remember, the tents at camp Cindy don't have showers. If she called you out to her office (tent) for a few minutes you better believe that you are going to vote however she wants you to.
The truth is that Cindy win is probably too much to hope for. The best that we can realistically expect is that she might bloody Feinstein a little and give the republican a fighting chance. Then again this is California we are talking about. Senator Feinstein can rip apart the liberal icon that Cindy Sheehan has become and alienate a large percentage of her base. She can do that because she can turn around afterward and say, ”I know I alienated a lot of you, but my opponent is a Republican and you know what that means. That means he wants to force women into back alley abortions, reinstitute slavery, and starve the old, sick and handicapped to death”. In most of the civilized world such rhetoric no longer works but alas, California (greater Rio Linda) is far from the civilized world.
