College Park, Md. (CNSNews.com) - Former Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.) said her bid for the White House as a Green Party candidate won't hurt Sen. Barack Obama or Sen. Hillary Clinton's chances for being the first African-American or woman U.S. president, respectively, because U.S. elections have been corrupted.
"Basically, what you are suggesting is by participating in the Democratic process the Green Party is going to become, quote, 'the spoiler,' " McKinney told Cybercast News Service at a rally Tuesday at the University of Maryland. "It is impossible to become a spoiler based on past experience when one examines the past.
"In the 2000 election, 6 million votes were not counted," she said. "They were cast but not counted. It is impossible that George W. Bush won the White House on 537 votes. That was constructed. That was contrived, and the Democratic Party failed to fight for the voters who voted it into the White House. In 2004, 3 million votes were cast but not counted."

She’s my favorite.
Where does she get this figure? Dems, or in this case greenies, throw statistics around like they are facts when in reality they have no basis in fact at all, just something someone made up to try to prove a point.
At first I was going to say “She won’t hurt anyone’s chances, because she won’t get any votes.”
But after thinking about it... IF Obama wins more delegates but Hillary pulls a fast one and steals the nomination, a Cynthia McKinney ticket could pull significant numbers of angry black moonbat voters.
So I’ll give a hearty “+1” to your “You go girl!”
Notice how the elections weren’t corrupt when she was winning...or maybe it’s that they were, but because she was winning, the corruption that led to her election was irrelevant. :-)
The hope of America....(snicker)
corruption never is mentioned when it’s in the dems favor..
“vote early, vote often”
I firmly believe all potential candidates for any high office of the government should be processed through a battery of mental status tests.
This woman needs help, seriously.
And don’t forget to empty the cemeteries
You know the U.S. has killed 600,000 Iraqis—Sharon Stone said so that’s how I know.
