Democrats like to poo-poo the idea of running a challenge to the sitting President in a Democratic Primary.  They become angry when such an idea is suggested and direct their flames at the messenger.

This would ensure electoral defeat, they say.  There isn’t a candidate who could be presented as a credible choice.  Their excuses go on and on and on.

Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you to Barbara Lee:

She’s a clear voice of Progressive Democratic principles.  She voted against the war in Afghanistan and against the Patriot Act.  She’s stood up against corporations when her party was caving in to the moneyed interests.

I saw this photo and I had to share it.

Why is this woman so maligned by the ‘liberal’ media?

Why is she so hated?

What has she done to draw so many swords against her?

I say God bless you Cindy Sheehan.  God bless you for all you have done for the anti-war crowd.  God bless you for all you have done for the left.

Your loss is incomprehensible for most of us and your contributions are welcome.  I salute the ‘Peace Mom’!

I apologize for the short essay, but this woman deserves better.
