Cindy's Back - and she's pissed

Prominent Iraq war opponent Cindy Sheehan urged US President George W. Bush on Friday to "end this madness" and accused his Democratic foes of having "betrayed" their anti-war supporters.

The protesters will tell Bush "to end this madness for our families," said Sheehan, who took a tough line against Democrats who harnessed anger at the Iraq war to recapture the US Congress in November.

"They got there and they betrayed the grass roots that put them back there," she said. "We can't depend on the Democrats."

The Democrats are locked in a bitter struggle with Bush over an emergency war funding bill that would set a timetable calling for a withdrawal of US forces from the strife-torn country in 2008.

"The timeline is now, not 18 months, not two years," said Sheehan.

The anti-war movement "lost a little momentum during the elections, but it's picking up again" because "the Democrats aren't really doing anything" to end the conflict, she said.

I would feel sorry for the congressional Democrats - if they weren't such a pack of wretched traitors scum who deserve to suffer far greater pain than the annoyance of having one of their moonbat constituencies mad at them.

But, since the criminal justice system in this nation will not arrest them, try them, convict them and hang them, this is the best we are going to get. So sit back and enjoy it.

Pour me a beer and pass the pork rinds.
