“I was a lifelong Democrat only because the choices were limited,” she wrote. “The Democrats are the party of slavery and were the party that started every war in the 20th century, except the other Bush debacle. The Federal Reserve, permanent federal income taxes, not one but two World Wars, Japanese concentration camps, and not one but two atom bombs dropped on the innocent citizens of Japan — all brought to us via the Democrats.”

“Don’t tell me the Democrats are our ‘saviors’ because I am not buying it — especially after they bought more caskets and more devastating pain when they financed and co-facilitated more of President Bush’s abysmal occupation.”

Ms. Sheehan, who is starting a national fundraising operation for her insurgent candidacy, finished with a flourish by saying voters shouldn’t be afraid to cast a vote for an independent candidate. “Voting out of fear is one of the things bestowed us with the Bush crime mob and may give us the Republican, if not in party affiliation, Hillary Clinton.”

Quoting Cindy Sheehan in a San Francisco Newspaper Ad. This stuff sell well in San Francisco and it will be interesting to see the effect third party candidates, which typically hurt Republicans, wil have on the Democratic contenders.
