Who is this "good conservative opponent"?
McKinney's not the first, nor will she be the last.
Post #19
Can she at least be targeted by a criminal complaint, if not an indictment? (In California, the principal reason for getting an indictment for a single-incident offense, as opposed to a drug ring or the like, is that an indictment cannot be challenged at a preliminary hearing, but an ordinary criminal complaint can be.)
Maybe Mr. Armor knows.
Promise you they are thinking "we cannot do that because she will start screaming racism if charged".
I met Catherine Davis at a talk Phyllis Schlafly gave recently at Agnes Scott College. I was very impressed, but I really think she has no chance of winning in that district, which is a sad statement. Unfortunately, in that District, this event is a badge of honor for many.
Now we know why Patsy Kennedy said he wanted to be treated as a black person...... he must have known Cynthia would be slithering away from charges......
Ah, so what? She's not Karl Rove.
I think the points have been made.
So will we ever get to see the video?
Or will the judge seal the evidence?
Don't know much about the GA 4th, do you?
AN OUTRAGE!!!! They had her dead to rights!! There is indeed a double standard in this country!!
Crime pays.
A jury of her peers.
UN FREAKING (AND I MEAN THAT WITH HER) BELIEVABLE.
Somehow I'm just not surprised. OTOH, I'd rather be a disappointed FReeper than a suicidal DUher...
DU:
"Freepers are going crazy cuz McKinney wasn't charged...nah, nah, nah."
EARTH TO DU:
No, we're not.

(Excerpt)
(CNSNews.com) - A little known African American woman announced Thursday that she will try to unseat Georgia Democratic Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, who has been mired in controversy since she struck a U.S. Capitol policeman in the chest with her closed fist.
Catherine Davis, a human resources manager who has never held elected office, said she is running because McKinney's "dismal legislative record and her outrageous behavior are an embarrassment to the hard-working folks in my district." McKinney represents Georgia's 4th Congressional District.
Davis is conservative. She favors a strict approach to immigration reform - the immediate securing of the borders and deportation of illegal residents, privatizing Social Security, Health Savings Accounts, school vouchers and the Fair Tax, which would eliminate the federal income tax and establish a federal sales tax.
McKinney was first elected to the U.S. House in 1992 to represent Georgia's heavily Democratic 11th District. The district was redrawn by order of the U.S. Supreme Court in 1995 and McKinney was elected in the new, but still heavily Democratic 4th District in 1996. She lost her seat in 2002 when she was beaten in a Democratic primary, but when the winner then attempted a bid for the U.S. Senate in 2004, McKinney recaptured her old seat.
Davis said she believes the district is ready for change after the controversy that has swirled around McKinney.
Davis, a human resources manager for Sprint, graduated Magna Cum Laude from Tufts University in three years with a double major in psychology and education. Her previous political experience is limited to working for former Virginia Gov. George Allen, now a U.S. senator, as a welfare reform outreach coordinator. But she does not think her lack of experience will hurt her.
"I believe people want a fresh face and I have corporate experience that can translate into any venue in which I choose to take it," Davis said...
