lives) is not exactly a Dem stronghold. I can't find the
California county-by-county breakdown but this website
lists political contributions for the 2004 election farce.

In Solano County, 37% contributed to the Dems, 61% to the
repugs. Compare that to, say, San Francisco County in which
83% were for the Dems, 17% the repugs.

I'd bet voting patterns fall along these same lines.

Vacaville's newspaper, The Vacaville Reporter, hasn't exactly
been writing glowing reviews about Cindy. (big surprise)

2. John Gibson-- another shill
Edited on Sat Aug-13-05 11:58 AM by ailsagirl
I just wrote a disgusted email to Catherine Moy who wrote
the following: (Bold text mine-- check out the language!!)

Mother already met Bush
Catherine Moy

Cindy Sheehan's incessant Bush-hating landed her on the Web site of Al-Jazeera, a propaganda arm for Muslim terrorists, and splintered her family, who mourn the loss of her son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, who died last year in Iraq. Mrs. Sheehan is now a tool of America-haters. She has joined the family of radical Democrats in defiance of her son's blood relations...

And it goes on.

Anyway, I just emailed Ms. Moy and told her off.

5. Lots of smaller towns in California that are very red... (redding-- hah!)
Edited on Sat Aug-13-05 12:01 PM by ailsagirl
I'm glad you keep your friends apprised. Even in so-called
blue California, the press are keeping this either hushed
up or else they are ripping Cindy to shreds.

It's just sickening

4. Why or why are they so hateful, this is more reason why Cindy is our
symbol for all that is good and meaningful in this world, a mother's love and grief has find a home, giving meaning to her son's death, that no more deaths follow his in Iraq, a lofty goal but obtainable as long as citizens similiar to Cindy put a face on their children's lost. Thank God for you Cindy, carry on, carry on with the love of so many mothers in this nation supportive of you.

6. If it's critical of chimp, they're critical of it-- no matter what "it" is
Edited on Sat Aug-13-05 12:05 PM by ailsagirl
That's all I can figure. But it also makes me wonder, when,
in their puny little brains, is it "OK" to question chimp?
If the death of your son in an illegal war isn't justified,
what in God's name IS??

But then, I'm being logical and they're anything but.

It's that gross cognitive dissonance thing, I guess. What a
bunch of fools. They too stupid to see they're being DUPED,
big time.

May the whole bunch of them get what they deserve.

7. Check out epodunk.com
You can put in any city and find out tons of stuff about it. Look under the Politics category. According to this site, Vacaville voted for Kerry in 2004 and it gives the numbers of people who voted etc. This is a great site if you have any of these types of questions. It is filled with information!
