You are right. But she was elected earlier on a gerrymandered district that started in Atlanta and looked like a snake that went to Savannah. (Pull out a map and imagine.) I am sorry but it was a vote of black against white. This is still the case. She has done nothing for her district while pandering to African dictators and muslim groups. Denise Majette can now be called the world's greatest idiot. She had a seat in congress despite being...the world's greatest idiot...and she chose to run for the Senate in Georgia against Johnny Isakson???!!! LOL!
So here we find Cynthia back in the saddle. The people who put her there should be ashamed. On second thought, they have no shame, that's why she is there.
You can be certain that the latter part of your statement is true.

We were rolling strong toward the primary
Then the Jews combined with the GOP
They both chose to defame the great McKinney name
It's the Jews' world, after all
Those J-E-W-S
Those J-E-W-S
Those J-E-W-S
It's the Jews', Jews' World
I could tell that they had been getting p*ssed
We had taken money from terrorists
They were sending in cash…about Bush we talked trash
It's the Jews' world, after all
Even daddy lost…it was quite surreal
Both elections we have just watched them steal
They were sending in cash…about Bush we talked trash
It's the Jews' world, after all
Those J-E-W-S
Those J-E-W-S
Those J-E-W-S
It's the Jews', Jews' world
I am quite prepared to incite a mob
I am mad 'cause I have to find a job
They were sending in cash…about Bush we talked trash
It's the Jews' world, after all
Another McKinney falls: Billy loses House (Jihad Cyndi's Dad Bites the Dust)

Another McKinney falls: Billy loses House seat
By RHONDA COOK and BILL TORPY
Atlanta Journal-Constitution Staff Writers
Voters booted the elder half of the controversial father-daughter McKinney team Tuesday.
State Rep. Billy McKinney lost in the Democratic primary runoff in the 44th House District to political newcomer John Noel three weeks after his daughter, Cynthia, lost her congressional seat. Noel polled nearly two-thirds of the vote in the district, which includes parts of Atlanta and Cobb County.
"I did not expect this because I expected black folks to turn out for me," said McKinney as he left J.R.'s Lounge on Fairburn Road. "They did not turn out for me. They wanted a Klansman, a son of the Confederacy."
McKinney (D-Atlanta), who has become infamous for anti-Semitic remarks, was referring to Noel's membership in Sons of the Confederate Veterans.
Noel, at his victory party, shrugged off McKinney's comments.
"That's the kind of crud we don't need anymore," said Noel. "The days of divisiveness are over."
McKinney led the close race in the August primary, but his heart never seemed to be in the race this time. McKinney, 75, a civil rights activist whose health has been failing, faced an energetic 31-year-old candidate who outworked him, going door to door throughout the district that added tony and white Vinings to the predominantly black Atlanta neighborhoods that have been the core of McKinney's support.
"We plugged away all over," Noel said.
The end was clear for McKinney as he watched Noel rack up a big turnout in the Cobb County precincts. Meanwhile, turnout in the Atlanta precincts was reportedly light.
The precinct at the Vinings Library had 548 voters Tuesday, a dropoff of just 48 from three weeks earlier. In contrast, the precinct at Usher Middle School in Atlanta had not yet reached 500 just before the polls closed. Three weeks ago, voters cast 798 ballots there.
McKinney said he sent out sound trucks, knocked on doors and urged people to vote.
"I had a good 30-year ride," said McKinney, wearing a Billy McKinney T-shirt and a Cynthia McKinney for Congress ballcap as he nursed an Absolut vodka. "I don't regret anything. Hell, I was going to retire anyway. Take me out or retire me. I'm gonna have a good time."
Among those who came out for McKinney on Tuesday was Roberta Phillips, who has voted for McKinney for as long as she can remember.
"He gave our family our first little dog," Phillips said. "He has a lot of drive; he'll work hard. He's very outspoken. I like that."
Phillips said she was sad to see Cynthia McKinney lose last month. She noted that Billy McKinney is frail and she thinks he used most of his energy helping his daughter to the detriment of his own campaign. "But that's what parents do," she said.
Other Atlanta voters, like Jackie Ross, were ambivalent about McKinney. She was still making up her mind as she walked into her precinct.
"I'm a little disappointed in Billy," she said, citing some of his public statements. "I think he went across the line."
McKinney's pronouncement that "J-E-W-S" had cost Cynthia McKinney her seat was the latest in a long line of intemperate statements.
Tuesday night, McKinney looked like a man who no longer cared if he won or lost. He spent most of his time dancing.
And Maxine Hendrix, who has voted for McKinney in the past, said she voted for Noel this time.
"I think it's time for him to retire," Hendrix said of McKinney. "This other guy is younger. I just want to see how this guy does."
Cobb voters such as Jed Kenna, a money manager who lives in Vinings, came out to vote against McKinney because of his frequent controversial remarks.
"People were immensely motivated to get the son of a gun out of town," said Kenna, outside the Vinings Library. "9/11 has changed things. Extremism is less appropriate.
"[Noel] is a normal, rational fellow -- a big, big contrast to Billy McKinney
Unfortunately, Cynthia may be the most "sane" of the three you referenced.
You have Conyers calling for the whole House of Reps to go to Ohio and hold hearings about the voter fraud (this was in late November or early Dec.) during the Christmas recess---riiiiiiiight!
Now, on Christmas Eve, you have Jackson on MSNBC, saying that George Bush would be guilty of making baby Jesus be born in a barn, instead of the Inn. And practically indicting Bush and his "kind" for such a slight to the son of God and his parents. Of course, according to what Jackson was preaching in the churches in Florida with Kerry during the election, he probably would have been in favor of ABORTING baby Jesus because Mary was obviously a victim.
Therefore, can you truly say that McKinney is the crazy one?
Oh, brother! Gimme a freaking break, woman. Boy, she's an awful pompous twit.
290+ million Americans and this idiot is in Congress. SHEESH!
Ain't that the truth.
LOL!
Yep, she's back. After Denise announced her bid for the Senate I was surprised to see McK throw her hat in the ring again.
Then, to see her actually re-elected was a total shock. She is such an embarrassment to her district, are they really this stupid??? Or.. are they this racist? They must be since she's back in her old position. I wonder what the House thinks of getting this particular little jewel back...if I was in the news I'd put her on camera at every possible opportunity - what fun that would be!
Some of both.
If Norway was north of Georgia instead of South Carolina, I would consider moving. At least Georgia can still show we have a good sense of humor by sending her back. On the other hand, she will destroy the Democratic party even more here. So it might be a good thing.
