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.

I sincerely hope this bigoted clown

runs for public office again, so we can use our old files:

-Jihad Cindy? McKinney won't go quietly... indeed, she may not go away at all...--

-The McKinney Files....--

And... create new ones...

I wonder if she’ll get Ralph Nader to fill out the ticket for Veep.

With both cut and run and her running I think buying stock in the tin foil business would be better.

Not good news. We need someone with a higher national profile to run for the Greens so they can siphon votes from Hillary.

We need to do all we can to encourage her. We can send e-mails and even contributions.

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

She can handle both offices all by her lonesome!
This is hysterical!!! Run Cinny Run!

This might even be worth jumping over to the DUmp to see how they take it!

Make sure you use protection. You never know what you might catch over there!
