Anyone thing the people in her district will care?

Follow the money & names:

The McKinney Files....

[raisincane]

No they don't care. They will drive to the polls down Cynthia McKinney Boulevard and vote for her again. They love her down there. Our son lives in the district next to McKinney's, and this love fest burns him up!

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Her district probably has the largest liberal and the largest Jewish constituency in the state.
I imagine cognitive dissonance on a massive scale.

Could be an interesting November.

[mhking]

Her district probably has the largest liberal and the largest Jewish constituency in the state.

A fair chunk of her Jewish constituents (mostly in the Morningside section of Atlanta and parts of the Toco Hills area of North DeKalb) were redistricted OUT of her district (and into the 5th - John Lewis') during the remapping last year.

The Republicans will, and they will vote for Majette in the Primary on August 20th.

[Guillermo]

There are more than enough Republicans in the 4th to oust McKinney in the Primary.

"They're doing stuff like they did in the '60s to Dr. [Martin Luther] King," said Muhamad. "These are American citizens learning to use their money like the very small population which sways a lot of opinion with their money -- the Jewish community. That's the American way."

Straight from the Nation of Islam, CAIR & AMC.

McKinney's lying and so is her spokesmouth. She knows exactly where her money's coming from and you can bet she's going to keep it. Rubbing shoulders with terrrorist and terrorist fundraisers and sympathizers is McKinney's style.

[general_re]

A "follow the money" ping....

[aculeus]

What's wrong with the voters in her district?

[general_re]

Perhaps they're getting exactly what they want in a representative. In which case, whatever's wrong with them is deeply rooted within the collective psyche of the district...

[dighton]

What's wrong with the voters in her district?

Mhking described her district here (#11).

[RightOnline]

"Anyone think the people in her district will care?"

Anyone think the people in her district can actually think?

[John Jorsett]

Banks said the campaign accepted contributors' money believing "in good faith that they are law-abiding citizens. If you did an investigation of everyone who gave money, people would stop giving."

And there you have it: we're not gonna look too closely at our donor base. It makes them nervous.

[Tom Bombadil]

McKinney caused a tempest earlier this year by suggesting President Bush knew the Sept. 11 attacks were coming but did nothing so his associates could make money in the ensuing war.

This slug needs a little political salt.

[blam]

"The Republicans will, and they will vote for Majette in the Primary on August 20th."

Yup. You have the recipe. The Republicans can vote for Majette. (Someone needs to make that clear to them.)

Thanks for the update.
Lucky her....
Wonder if she pushed to to get "them Jews" out of the district?
