Mckinney Comes Out Swinging

The debate tonight showed Mckinney's political prowess. Hank Johnson looked like a deer caught in the headlights, as Mckinney repeatedly looked at him and made her points.
Ok, I like Cynthia Mckinney in this race, because I think she is an effective representative of the people.
She may not win,but she sure is putting up a fight!

The difference between infamy and influence

Seems like the AJC thinks Cynthia Mckinney is a loser for Dems.

McKinney speaks loudly but has accomplished little in her 12 years in Congress. That's because her outrageous rhetoric and loopy antics distance her not only from the Republican majority, but even from many of her Democratic colleagues. She has few allies.

In Case You FORGOT

Remember that lil' thing called the war in Iraq? Just when you thought GW & his gang couldn't screw it up anymore.

BAGHDAD, Iraq, July 29 — The State Department agency in charge of $1.4 billion in reconstruction money in Iraq used an accounting shell game to hide ballooning cost overruns on its projects there and knowingly withheld information on schedule delays from Congress, a federal audit released late Friday has found.

Just look at what G.W.'s mouthpiece has said now:

WASHINGTON -- Presidential adviser Karl Rove said Saturday that journalists often criticize political professionals because they want to draw attention away from the "corrosive role" their own coverage plays in politics and government.

I guess the Bushies would rather have no criticism or expectation of accountability. What happened to freedom of the press?

Run Cynthia Run!!!

Seems like for some reason the heat is on Cynthia Mckinney. There has been a lot of talk about her upcoming run-off election with Hank Johnson both locally & nationwide. I even saw a "Beat Cynthia" banner ad for Johnson on one of my fav liberal blogs. Why does she have so many critics these days?? The republicans I can understand, hell I even expect to be critical. I mean this is the woman who way back in 02' called for an investigation into 9/11 & gw's knowledge of impending attacks.

Mr. Johnson seems like a fine man who would represent GA well. But the case for removing Ms. Mckinney simply hasn't been made.

All I've heard is how Mckinney is an "embaressment". I don't know exactly what is meant by this. I guess the incident with the capital police is what the critics cite, even though Mckinney was never charged.

The bottom line is that the district that she represents is overwhelmingly in support of Mckinney. Take it from me, I live in metro Atl. The only reason Johnson forced the runoff was because of support from the republicans in GA / nationwide. Think about all of the negative stories she has endured.

Prediction: Mckinney will win the run-off with ease & be re-elected this fall.

Another weekend & the violence in the middle east is worst than ever.While we go about our lives partying,drinking, eating fast food,etc.. the people of Lebanon are watching their country go up in smoke. I understand that Israel wants to "root out the terrorists" ( sound familiar?), but isn't there a better way than just blowing the hell out of the whole country?

Pres. Bush, after 5 yrs. finally addressed the NAACP today.

Toward the end of his remarks, two protesters interrupted the president,
shouting inquiries about Vice President Dick Cheney and the situation in the
Middle East.
"Stop being a Stepin Fetchit for Dick Cheney!" one shouted in a
reference to a black actor known for stereotypical portrayals of black minstrel
characters.

well some republicans in the house tried in vain to kill the voting rights act legislation. one of those was lynn a. westmoreland(R) of my homestate of ga. well I think she needs to be replaced. this is the alternative. http://www.patrickpillion.com/

the war in iraq is not being reported anymore I see. with all of the turmoil in the mideast the war is becoming an afterthought & thats not even mentioning afganistan.

this is something everyone should try, I know I will.
