Re: [Marxism] Why Didn't Pelosi Speak Out Against Torture?

[Adam Richmond <adambrichmond@xxxxxxxxx>]

It is gratifying to see Pelosi sweat even at the hands of the blood drenched 
Republicans.  At least the truth is coming out.  But I suspect it will be used 
by the Obamaites to install a new Speaker more friendly to Obama.
 
Pelosi is "my" member of congress and I am happy to have actively supported the 
independent, pro-working class campaign by Cindy Sheehan in the last 
election.   This district supports impeachment and is opposed to the war, yet 
the Democratic Party supports her to the hilt including most (not all) of the 
liberal/progressive wing.  The Dems dragged out the left centrist head of the 
party to squash a pro-Sheehan endorsement by the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic 
Club, a progressive Democratic club when it attempted to publically oppose 
Pelosi and support Sheehan.  The Milk Club is the largest and most active 
Democratic Club in SF.  So much for working within the Democrats for social 
change.  The axe came down hard on this maverick group.
 
Cindy Sheehan was stonewalled by the media over and over again during her run 
for congress which gathered about 17% of the vote.  If you are interested in 
helping to retire Sheehan's campaign debt, please contact me off list.
