(Okay I edited the piece)

JJ I think you are overreacting. I didn't say that my only problem with her decision was Cindy's disillusionment. Although big deal even if it was my only problem. Stop looking for things to disagree on. We agree on this. All I said was, based on things she has said, I don't think she'd run for Congress as a Democrat. Which would significantly reduce her chances of winning.

But I do take issue with your implication that the members of the two major parties are not "real regular reasonable citizens" That would be a ridiculous thing to think. Participating in one of the two major political parties doesn't make you out of touch. Why does everyone have to think THEY are more regular, more reasonable, more real than the next person? Maybe this was part of Cindy Sheehan's problem. She could have, through all this activism, started to have a really narrow view of what was "real" and "regular" Which means maybe some time off for her isn't a bad thing. But I hope she comes back.
