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.

No this is a good thing if it happens. It will draw off some votes for who ever is the democrat candidate in november. What ever splits their vote is a good thing.

WooHoo! Maybe she’ll draw off the moonbats who might have felt like they had to vote for Her Heinous! Let the Dems get bit in the butt by a third party challenge for a change!

This would be a heck of a ticket if she could get Heineken burglar from New Orleans to be her VP.

This woman is certifiable, but her running in the Green Party is good news. A large portion of the moonbat left despises Clinton because she’s not anti-war enough. I think McKinney could pull a few percentage points away from Clinton in key states such as CA. I do pray for her safety though. I don’t think Clinton will tolerate anyone from the left challenging her.

“She’d best stay out of Ft Marcy Park.”

That was my first thought. Hillary will sort her out.

I think she should pick her running mate from the “famous” Ford family—like the guy with the cash in his freezer, maybe.
