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.
There must be money in it.
the second this is factual news, this is hugh and series....................big time, and no kiddin either
I’ll say details til this is factually declared.
She’ll definitely split the Little Rascals vote.
Paul/McKinney ‘08
Well, there’s 10 cents that Hillary won’t be able to raise.
Is this true?
Be still my heart!
Yea!
Great news. The more Naders and McKinneys out there siphoning votes from the Donks, the better.
If this is true, she knows she can’t win, but one thing she also knows.........she can make a lot of money running.
I like the idea of her having Cindy Sheehan for a running mate-—she could draw a lot of moonbats from (ahem) some other candidate.
Maddy Albright might take objection to your suggestion.
How can she be green? I thought she was black.
What’s black and green?
I am waiting for her and cut and run to run together. They could run on the PAAAP(Paul’s Anti-American Appeasement Party) Ticket.
Nappy Headed Ho Party.
I’d laugh it it weren’t so scary.
Now the left has an alternative to Hillary. hee hee
Go Cynthia McKinney!
she fits right in with the rest of the candidates
“This might even be worth jumping over to the DUmp to see how they take it!”
I can’t go there, so please let me know how they take it!:)
America hasn’t had a candidate with this much gravitas since Gus Hall.
