Cynthia McKinney to announce bid next week for the White House: Green Party
Fogcityjournal ^ | October 5, 2007 | Luke Thomas

According to a reliable source, former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga) will officially announce her candidacy for U.S. president as early as next week. According to the source, the Green Party has been actively courting McKinney to switch party affiliation and run as a Green. (*)

McKinney has been outspoken about the Iraq war, AIPAC's lobbying influence over U.S. foreign policy, the 9/11 Commission Report, and the partisan decision by a partial body of the Supreme Court to elect George W. Bush to the presidency in 2000.

She is also trumpeting the call of millions of Americans calling for the impeachment of Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for perpetrating war crimes against humanity.

McKinney is in San Francisco this weekend. Her schedule includes an appearance at a CodePink party tonight at El Rio, and an appearance tomorrow at a campaign rally to elect mayoral candidate Ahimsa Sumchai.

(*) Update 3:10 p.m: According to a source, McKinney officially registered as a member of the Green Party yesterday.

Is this a joke?

Don't know, but I laughed out loud upon reading this.

No, she’s running for President now, not Congress.

If there’s any chance that she (McKinney) might take votes from Hillary, then she will be found dead somewhere and the blame will be placed on southern white racists.

I don’t think this is for real. There is only one source for this story on Google and that source looks dodgy.

The ‘publisher and editor’ (and author of the article) seems to be advertising his own appearance more than anything else.

It would be a dream come true if she would run, but I doubt it. Plus, even the Greens aren’t T-H-A-T wacky.

Is she trolling for a law suit over PC? The Dems won't go after Hillary because
of gender. McKinney has both Gender and the race card to play.
Interesting to see where this leads. laughable.

Go Cindy Go!

Why I’ll even donate to her campaign. I figure she’ll take just enough of the Leftwing kook, kool-aid drinker vote to insure a Hildabeast defeat.

My 80 yr old mother just wandered back into the room and asked "Have any other comedians announced their candidacy?"

Momma owes me a keyboard! I was blindsided.

She says "Bless your heart."

Momma is pretty conservative too. Mom is sharp but she tries to play that down a lot. She just said "I'm not so sure about that 'sharp as a tack.' LOL (More bennies in being a bit feeble ya know.) But she lets slip like that now and then giving away just what it is I'm up against. Experience beats strength every time! ;^)
