I certainly hope that Cynthia McKinney wins. Every FReeper should hope that she wins.
When Tucker hits one, she hits it out of the park.
Your publicly admitting to helping the Democrats is duly noted.
Put McKinney in dirty clothes on any street corner in her district (or any other district, for that matter). She could wander about mumbling the same things that she says in office -- and nobody would doubt that she deserves a "crazy check" from the gubmint.

If they can see thru her, then why did they elect her in the first place?
Shelia Jackson-Lee?

Voters can see through mckinney? You mean through that big hole and all of that empty space?
MURTHA
By contrast, her colleague, U.S. Rep. John Lewis, who represents Georgia's 5th District, has the moral authority to get things done. He, too, is a vocal critic of the invasion of Iraq. He, too, has frequently disagreed with the policies of President Bush. He, too, is a Democrat a member of the minority party. But when Lewis threw his determined efforts behind extension of the Voting Rights Act, it passed.
Which is precisely why Cynthia MUST STAY.
Go, Cynthia, go!!!
I'm of the opinon that every Freeper should probably send $50 to CYNTHIA.
1) Everybody know's she's a nutjob. Just about anyone would be better for the Democrats than Cynthia.
2) She's entertaining.
The voters are silly when it comes to her:
"Cynthia McKinney's political career can be traced to 1986, when she won 40% of the popular vote when her father, state representative Billy McKinney, submitted her name as a write-in candidate for a Georgia state house district, despite the fact that she lived in Jamaica at the time."

The Senate will still have Patty ("Osama bin Laden did good before he attacked us") Murray and the Congress will still have Barney Fag and that d-ckhead from New York with the big hair. Plenty of laughs for normal people.
She can get together with Mel Gibson and Hate Jews together.
Wow if Cynthia Tucker (the ultra-liberal columnist) is against Cynthia McKinney, than McKinney doesn't have a chance.
You said: Bear with me here: I think a Cynthia re-election is not necessarily bad for Republicans. First of all, even if she loses, she will be replaced by another Democrat. And Hank seems like a nice soft spoken guy. He will get nowhere near the press coverage that Cynthia gets. And when the press covers Cynthia, it's good for Republicans and bad for Democrats. Every time she opens her mouth, she projects an image of pettiness, racism, sarcasm and incompetence. In my opinion, she's a great poster child for the Democrats.

I agree with all you said, but I disagree with your conclusion. For democrats everything is about partisan politics, winning for one's party. For conservatives, and most Republicans, that may be an important concept, but not the controlling one. I WANT a Congress consisting of the best of both parties at articulating their relative positions because I believe that conservative policies, fairly and effectively argued, will prevail. Liberal policies, fairly articulated, fall of their own weight in most instances. I don't care to see tantrums thrown in around Congress by members of either party. It demeans the process, and, sadly, convinces some on the fringes based not on rational considerations, but on emotion and invective. McKinney should lose because she is a loser. If that means a more-qualified Dem gets the slot, all the better... for everyone.
Well said..
This is a clearly diagnosed case of the lesser to two weevils...
...Which is exactly how we got Denise Majette four years ago...Many 'Pubbies actually crossed-over for the primary to elect Majette in July... The only reason McKrazy was re-relected two years ago -- was Majette thought she could defeat Sen. Johnny Isakson state-wide...(mis-s-s-s-take)...
Johnson is a solid guy... sooo much more than the Cop-puncher....
Maybe I will send him $75... it's a good investment for the REST of the country... and indeed will do YOU a favor by taking out the trash...
FYI The 4th --It's gonna be a DIM until the demographic... or minds-&-hearts --or district lines change... (none of these likely this time around!)
Have a great day!
