Voters trickling in and out of Holy Trinity Church on East Ponce de Leon Avenue, walking distance from Decaturs downtown square, said U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinneys run-in with Capitol police prompted them to vote against her.
Anne Dishman, 37, a stay-at-home mom, voted for McKinneys opponent in the Democratic primary, Hank Johnson.
I dont know a lot about him, but it is important that Cynthia is not voted back into office, she said.
Dishman, referring to the congresswomans infamous tussle a few months ago, said, Both parties should have said I am sorry and moved on. But, she made a big deal out of it.
Dishman said she voted for Cathy Cox in the Democratic gubernatorial primary.
I very familiar with her work, very impressed with her track record, she said.
Lance Blair, a 36-year-old Democrat and audio engineer said one thing is clear in his mind: McKinney needs to go.
Right or wrong, Washington has tuned McKinney out, he said. I understand her anger and frustrations, but there is a limit. I dont appreciate politicians of either party being blustery.
Local tv reported Cindy Sheehan is going to be speaking at the McKinney campaign victory party. Oh boy!
"'Lance'? What a Mary. I'd bet he drives a Volkswagon Beatle with one of those gay flowers on the dashboard and hangs out at Starbucks reading poetry."
LOL!
Don't forget the beret. If he's reading poetry at Starbucks he's wearing a beret too.
And saying "I am so bored" in a Left Bank accent. And smoking a galoise (French cigarette for those of you in Rio Linda).
Oh God MY EYES...............
I'm feeling kinda dizzy...
BTT
One of them drives a bike that says "Tour De France Winner", when he's not banging a hot singer...
I hope it works too. However, I wouldn't count on it. Who would ever guess that Baghdad McDermott would get re-elected, but of course, what am I thinking?? I'm living in the commie state of Washington.
Dennis Kucinich comes to mind, before all the rest of them.
LOL & great tagline.
If the fist hit, you shouldn't acquit...
The better news is that because I didn't vote I can join in the Democrat run off.
ABC = Anybody But Cynthia
Thus far she is squeaking by with about a 1% lead over her competition. The day is still young. I pray that she loses.
I like working the polls too.
You get to vote so many times when things are slow.
I personally hope McKinney wins. Johnson I assume wouldn't be any less liberal and McKinney is a walking cornucopia of liberalism's illegitimacy. I couldn't imagine a better advertisement for not voting (D).
