Something pretty weird is going on. We need to find out exactly who is backing Christine Cegelis, and then make the connection to who was behind Hackworth. These people are liars.
Cindy Sheehan has a post up about Christine, saying that she is supposedly the anti-war candidate. Well read the Iraq plan, it's John Kerry's plan. WTF??? Then she says Duckworth wants to stay in Iraq, which isn't true, she supports a withdrawal that considers Iraq security in the process. Not much difference.

Well she lives 3 miles outside of a boundary, in the house where she grew up. Illinois law is that you have to live in the state, so this is a nothing issue. Who is trying to turn this into some carpetbagging bullshit?
They've also distorted her view on abortion, saying that she's a states' rights person. That is so far from true. She compared it to Terri Schiavo, and said they're all personal privacy issues and the federal government has no business in any of it. They're just bold-faced lying.
Back to JK and Iraq. What is up with Cindy Sheehan supporting a candidate with Kerry's Iraq plan?? And how did it come to be that Murtha came out with a plan that captured the left, just weeks after Kerry announced his plan to actually demand Bush begin withdrawing troops. And how did Murtha's plan pretty much get dropped, and now we've got Sheehan saying this Cegelis plan is a plan to end the war.
Does this all seem a bit weird to anybody else?? I think people are misleading Cindy Sheehan too, she's busy and probably doesn't have time to keep up with every utterance of every candidate.
