Hillary the Undercover Peace Candidate

I sense there are Democrat voters who think that Hillary is only supporting a long gradual withdrawal as a sop to centrist and red state voters. That her cautious approach is only to woo the mushy middle voters, and that she will reveal herself as a peace President. I think that a politician who cannot be straight forward about a quick withdrawal, when we really need to get out of a badly deteriorating position in Iraq as of right now, cannot be counted on to deliver once she is in office. We don't buy a car sight unseen, and we don't sign most contracts without first reading them. At least I don't. Then why should we vote for Hillary out of the vain hope that she is a stealth peace candidate?

Supporting Hillary

By Cindy Sheehan

I would love to support Hillary for President if she would come out against the travesty in Iraq. But I don't think she can speak out against the occupation, because she supports it. I will not make the mistake of supporting another pro-war Democrat for president again: As I won't support a pro-war Republican. This country wants this occupation to end. The world wants the occupation to end. People in Iraq want this occupation to end. Senator Clinton: taking the peace road would not prove you are weak. Instead, it would prove that you are the strongest and wisest candidate. As a mom, as an American, as a patriot: I implore you to have the strength and courage to lead the fight for peace. I want to support you, I want to work for you, but like many American moms, I will resist your candidacy with every bit of my power and strength unless you show us the wisdom it takes to be a truly great leader. Prove that you are "passionate" and reflect our nations' values and refusal to support imperialism, greed and torture. Senator Clinton: come out against this occupation of Iraq. Not because it is the politically expedient thing to do but because it is the humane thing to do. If you want to make Casey's sacrifice count, bring the rest of his buddies home alive.
