Cindy Sheehan Disrupts Democrats' Press Conf

So Democrats get their turn at being shouted down by anti-war protestors with their usual leader, Cindy Sheehan. She led the group to Capitol Hill and disrupted the House Democrats' press conference chanting "de-escalate, investigate, troops home now."

Sheehan's Statement:
"We didn't put you in power to work with the people that have been murdering hundreds of thousands of people since they have been in power. We put you in power to be opposition to them finally and we're the ones who put them in power."

What is this? She's claiming that because of her and the anti-war movement, the Democrats should thank them for restoring them to power in both houses of Congress. The war in Iraq certainly played a factor, but Miss Sheehan should really stop thinking about taking in all the glory. The voters were also concerned with the economy, high government spending, immigration, and the Republican's bad record on ethics. The Democratic Party cannot be hijacked by the anti-war arm of their organisation.

The Washington Business Journal has an article on the disrupted press conference too.

Besides, how quick does she think our government responds. We are only a few days into the new year.
