"Martin says AARLC is also asking Rep. Eddie Bernie Johnson (D-Texas), chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, to suspend McKinney from that group." Now I would like to be a fly on the wall if that happens.

McKinney might, just might, be in trouble forre-election this time out...The new district boundaries mean that the district is not a "black" district anymore, also, her GOP opponent is a fairly conservative black woman, so that will mitigate the inevitable charges of racism.....it might just be time for a change....

"McKinney might, just might, be in trouble forre-election this time out.." If she is, she did it to herself by not serving her district, putting her black activism before everything. She does not belong in our government. That is a spot reserved for a person that cares for America first.
If money will buy this election then McKinney will win hands-down. Lets hope it will do her no good. I have been doing some research on Denise Majette, so far I like what I have found on this woman, she seems to really care and knows what is going on in the district.

We all know what McKinney's response will be: the red herring of them all:
Her accuser's actions are based on racism....
Just watch and see....

There were several articles posted here a while back...I tried a search but couldn't find them...Maybe you'll have better luck...apparently the new district boundaries realy make it a viable contest, though of course they're still reassessing it...butr I think something like 40% of the voters are new to McKinney, so they might be impacted by a negative first impression, which Cynthia is providing hands down..if the race polls close, I think you'll see a lot of GOP national congressional campaign money pour into the district......

Gephardt will leave her on the committees (especially Armed Services) for the same reason he refused to remove Condit from the Intelligence committee -- spite. The demoroids will wreck the country just to get one over on the Republicans.

"Her accuser's actions are based on racism..." Welll, little miss mommy-war-bucks can scream "racism" and use the race card (don't be a homey without it) all she wants, Ms. Denise Majette is just as black as she is. Skin color has nothing to do with the person that McKinney is. It will not work for her this time. I'll just keep my fingers crossed and say lots of prayers for all who run against this radical.

AARLC Bump!
To: Mom_Grandmother
mckinney is a good dem because she supports these groups. the party seeks nothing less than global governance, and the destruction of the usa will have to happen first.
time for us to stop being naive....it aint a coincidence this party is riddled with terrorist supporters and commies. klinton pardoned terrorists at the end of his term....just for money?...look at the pattern.

"mckinney is a good dem because she supports these groups. the party seeks nothing less than global governance, and the destruction of the usa will have to happen first." There are quite a few people that think McKinney would do well by doing what she was "elected" to do, take care of her district, not bankrupt them!
DeKalb County taxpayers are essentially paying twice for services which should be provided by the incumbent [Cynthia McKinney] and for which she is being paid,
The citizens of DeKalb should really appreciate the foresight and assertiveness of CEO Vernon Jones. Equally, they should join the concert of other residents already questioning isnt that what we pay our member of Congress in the U.S. House of Representatives to do? Majette asked.
Why do we not have that same kind of representation? Majette asked. If the incumbent were less focused on getting her picture in the papers and on television and more concerned with her constituents, taxpayers would not be billed for this $96,000 contract.

who do you think Gephardt would replace her with all the democraps are cut from the same piece of fabric.if they don't have secrets to sell or info to pass along they will sell thier souls to satan for 30 pieces of gold or silver or mabe copper

A black conservative group is calling for the removal of Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.) from the House Armed Services and International Relations Committees for allegedly having ties to terrorists or terrorist allies. If the above is true and, it actually takes place, it will go a along way to show the rest of the country Patriotism is alive & well in all colors. This would be a powerful message to send those that are hell bent on keeping chains on a segment of the population. Amen
