Associated Press:
Cindy Sheehan, the soldier's mother who galvanized an anti-war movement with her monthlong protest outside President Bush's ranch, said Tuesday she's done being the public face of the movement.
"I've been wondering why I'm killing myself and wondering why the Democrats caved in to George Bush," Sheehan told The Associated Press while driving from her property in Crawford to the airport, where she planned to return to her native California.
"I'm going home for awhile to try and be normal," she said.
In what she described as a "resignation letter," Sheehan wrote in her online diary on the Daily Kos blog: "Good-bye America ... you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can't make you be that country unless you want it.
"It's up to you now."
It seems that Cindy Sheehan was just great until the dems took the majority. After they caved in and gave Bush every damned thing he wanted, they didn't have any use for the antiwar movement -- just a bunch of whiners and complainers. Apparently, an idiotic war on the Democrats' watch is entirely different from an idiotic war on the Republicans'. One's a crime, the other's a 'compromise.'
Sheehan's diary entry is here. To her credit, she doesn't invite the Democratic leadership and sell-out lefty bloggers to kiss her ass. I would've.
