Yes, I know he's a Dim, and an unapologetic one at that, but this is one fascinating piece...

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Where can I send her some money for her 2002 write-in effort? I think we should all join in and encourage her to participate. She has something to offer. The Congress shouldn't be without her unique voice. Ect. ahem.

[dead]

Considering that McKinney promised in her concession speech that "[she] will not help the Republicans," the irony here is so thick you could chew it.

Doesn’t anybody know the correct definition of “irony” any more?

It does not mean “everything that is interesting or odd.”

Curse you, Alanis Morrisette!

[jmaroneps37]

I wish she would ;but she won't.

[finnman69]

What's funny about this is the DUmmies and wacko RATS wont shut up about Cynthia. This is the same WE WUZ ROBBED mentality in action they scream about regarding Gore but infinitely further full of fury. They just don't get it that their brand of hatred and race baiting wont fly anymore and to hell with anyone that does not agree with them.

It's all good for us.

Now, now. You can't criticize professional writers for their lack of ability with the English language. We must make allowances for journalists. We can't expect them to put together a proper sentence!

[What Is Ain't]

This guy ate one too many mushrooms before sitting down to his computer.

WRITE-IN MCKINNEY, WRITE-IN MCKINNEY!!!!

Let's all email her and urge, no demand, that she run as a write-in candidate. And butter it up in the process.

WRITE-IN MCKINNEY, WRITE-IN MCKINNEY

[Marysecretary]

Heh, heh,heh. Don't it make your day????

[Illbay]

Obiously a Democrat. Therefore, anything he says is a fake, double-fake, triple-fake, etc.

Dismiss with extreme prejudice.

[mhking]

Don't it make your day????

I didn't know that the Cleland vote was that close! It makes me feel less pessimistic about Chambliss' chances in November. I had pretty much written that seat off for now.

I never thought I'd hear myself say these words, but Jihad Cynthia trying to do something now wouldn't....be....so....bad....

You don't know just how hard it was to write that... But I have to think of the greater good - i.e., getting a majority back in the Senate...

Announcement: In order to reduce the long lines at the polling places, the Election Commission has asked that Republicans and Libertarians vote on Tuesday, and that Democrats and Greens vote on Wednesday.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Making matters worse, Georgia's Democrat-controlled state government eliminated runoffs for statewide general election candidates after Sen. Wyche Fowler (D) lost his seat in late 1992. If Cleland falls even a whisker behind Chambliss, it won't matter whether Chambliss hasn't edged his share of the vote above 50 percent. He'll win anyway.

Sorry, wrong answer. Here's the truth:

After Coverdell's election in 1992 the Democrat-controlled legislature reduced the threshold for triggering a runoff. The top candidate can now win in the general election with 45 percent of the vote rather than 50 percent.

[mhking]

The top candidate can now win in the general election with 45 percent of the vote rather than 50 percent.

I keep picturing Tom Murphy's ancient, decrepit form running through the house chamber at the end of each session and I cringe.

I hope Chambliss can do something; I pray Chambliss can do something. Anything.

[gilor]

I'm still laughing over the J-O-O-Os comment.

[FreedomPoster]

On (I believe it was) Monday's show, Boortz pledged a $1000 campaign contribution, the maximum allowed by law, to a "McKinney for Senate" write-in campaign.

Run, Cyndy, Run!!

[AnAmericanMother]

Gadzooks. I hope she DOES run as a write-in candidate. What fun! She is mean enough to do it just for spite, I think. Certainly the Dems abandoned her (says something about her that she was too far out in left field even for the national Democratic party), so maybe she'll be mad enough. If we toss her daddy in the 44th, maybe he'll help too.

On the other hand, this writer is generally full of it. To call Cleland "heroic" when he had an accident with a hand grenade nowhere near the action, is either stupid or a deliberate lie. (Cleland has, to my knowledge, never misrepresented his military service, but he keeps quiet and lets other people do it for him.) Certainly he has shown great courage in adapting to life with a severe physical handicap, but on the other hand he was largely incapacitated by sleep apnea for years (sleeping through meetings etc.), is not particularly bright, and votes lockstep liberal with the national Democratic party. Not all in all a good senator for Georgia. Persistence in the face of adversity, alone, does not make up for all his other shortcomings.

[Jen]

HAHAHAHAHA!!! YES, run Kabul Cindy, run! Take votes from Cleland!

[Marysecretary]

Yeahhh, let's watch them destroy themselves. It feels sooo good when that happens. Her daddy needs a spanking, too!
