McKinney shows up on presidential ballot list — in California

Hank Johnson just might be able to breathe a little easier today.

Former Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney is on the list of recognized candidates for president on the web site of the California secretary of state. She’s listed as a Green Party candidate.

Don’t count on this as the last word. In September, McKinney posted a letter on her web site declaring that she had no interest in the Green Party nomination.

But a report by Atlanta Progressive News — also now posted on her web site — says the elusive McKinney is doing some academic work at Berkley.

The secretary of state’s listing includes no physicial address for McKinney. Just an e-mail address.

A total of seven Green party candidates are listed on the California roll, including Ralph Nader.

Because reactionaries and chickenhawks hate them? That’s nothing new.

I’m hoping the Greens can convince Gore to run… it’d be nice to have an actual liberal on the ballot, not to mention a brilliant one.

I did not think Mckinney was so crazy to point out Bush was selling out America and today you can see that Bush and cronies care nothing for the American People and have nothing but foreign interest at heart. So bash McKinney all you want but she stood alone and tried to tell the idiot Americans of the road Bush was paving. Now more and more people are starting to see but will not admit she was right on warning about this illegal invasion. But again, Georgians are a* backwards and slow. The BIBLE BELT give me a break, you idiots are brainwashed into beleiving in fairies, pathetic and you want to bash someone who was on the inside looking at what these crooks were doing and yet you call her crazy. Look at your legislative body that should be an indication of how crazy and a* backwards you morons truly are.

What a surprise… That ridiculous excuse for a woman has slithered from GA to CA. She ought to fit right in with that crowd.

Much ado about a hairdo… The Green Party was a laughable joke before. Now it’s the laughing stock of American politics.

Rudy is going to clean Hillary’s clock in ‘08.

Get used to it Dems… 8 more years of a republican president.

On a limb… Dems lose the congress in ‘08. The war is no longer the dominant issue, therefore all they can do is complain. The have no answers, solutions or plans other than to raise taxes. Whoopie… There’s a shock and surprise.

Good riddance … Goodbye you pitiful guttersnipe.

Let’s not decide who should run for a political office and who should not. We all have a right if we qualify in our jurisdictions.Special interest groups and the media should not decide who should run and who should get elected. This is why we hold elections.

There’s a reason they didn’t give Gore the Nobel Prize for Science - there’s very little real science in all his rantings. Every day, real scientists around the world (including the National Geographic Society and the UN, by the way) find more and more reasons to discount the “facts” about global warming that you “Gore-sheep” follow like a bible. The best they could do was give him the “peace” prize - and the past has proven that you don’t have to be brilliant to get that one.

GA to CA … Not near far enough away. She can now be the laughing stock of California politics. It figures. Maybe that communist,racist, clueless, useless, moronic woman thinks she’s got a shot. I would vote for a styrofoam coffee cup before I voted for her. She is incapable of any sort of logical thought.

All she can do is run her mouth, assault police officers, blame others for her misdeeds and statements, deny reality, support any nation that has a different position than the US, beg for money from our enemies, embarrass herself and her constituants, and make a shoe smell.

Goodbye Cynthia… You WILL NOT BE MISSED. Hurry up and croak!!!

If Georgia is such a pathetic backwards place, please go back from where you came from. I just knew some bone head would some how bring Bush into this now that is pathetic. I have never seen so many people hate somebody so much, but if you disagree you are a bigot or a war monger. Get over it Cynthia McKinney is a loser racist and should never be on any ballot, ever.

Cynthia McKinney’s mistake… (not coincidently) other than being Roman Catholic, was to mince words about 9/11: Bush and Cheney did it - and she only danced around the topic. The evidence was available at the time (Viz. “The New Pearl Harbor,” Griffin) and she lacked the moral fortitude and leadership, or intelligence, to state the full truth with authority. G-d only knows why she held her fire. Unfortunately, since Bush/Rockefeller are primarily working for the Roman Anti-Christ, her being RC suggests…

So perspicacious … I guess you’re intellectually head and shoulders above all those pathetic red state Georgia voters. I was laughing with Mini-Me’s comments about Gore and Mckinney until I read your post. Now I’m really laughing! If you think McKinney and Gore are brilliant somehow I think most Georgia voters will make allowances for your unfair stereotype as probably the best that you can do given your worldview. Maybe one day the rest of us can reach your exalted level of intelligence!

LiveFree I agree with you 100%! The Bible Belt is a joke. Georgians are and always will be stuck in that Old South mentality. If that had have been a white congresswoman calling out Bush on his knowledge of 911 there never would have been as much animosity. Now finally after 6.5 years these fools are waking up and realizing that the entire country has been taken by Bush. Backward Morons is an excellent description.

Now you are just lying. Not too worry, many Georgians will still believe you. True scientists, which are those not employed by conservative think-tanks or supported by wingnut welfare, no longer argue about whether global warming exists, only about whether we have passed the tipping point or not.

Regarding the Green Party: Remember, it is financed by Republicans in most states. That is why it has no credibility.

As a progressive liberal and proud member of the Democratic Party, I wish McKinney would go away. Not necessarily because she is a wacko, which I believe she is, but because she was a horrible representative for her District. She really did no good for them. All politics is local and she failed.

Enough of the Nazis and their collaborators like Hillary. McKinney sold out when she hit D.C….just like Atlanta’s former “ethics hawk,” John Lewis.

Chicagoan Hillary, via Arkansas, was elected in NY based on the shape of Bill’s “Winthropian” nose…so she don’t know diddly about Nixon - even though she was on the Watergate Committee staff; or Mena, or Waco, or Bush and Cheney committing 9/11; or why truckloads of Afghan heroin are being shipped into Atlanta.

She is a BS-artiste: listen to her answers. There’s not a straight line about her. Would an actual “Woman” put up with the pervert she fakes like she’s married to?

America needs to settle down and get some real people to straighten out the criminals running our government.

It is difficult to take Cynthia Mckinney seriously, I agree. As far as being the biggest joke (or greatest extremist) ever in Georgia politics, let’s not forget the likes of Talamage, Maddox, Zell Miller and Chambliss.

It is amazing to me to read these posts and see all of the vitriol and name calling. Does anyone know how to form an intellectual argument, or express an articulate opinion, or are we all in the third grade.

Bush’s “efforts in the War on Terror?” Wise up: He committed 9/11. If you actual didn’t realize this outrageous, satanic treason took place, read “The New Pearl Harbor,” by PhD David Ray Griffin. He is a Professor of Logic and you’ll find his argument airtight. Also you may go to Google Video and search for “9/11” and find ample videos unseen since the day of 9/11 which show the effects of the obvious controlled demolitions which dropped the only THREE steel-framed building to fall due to “fire.”

Bush is also a homosexaul draft-dodger. Is this a case of “Birds of feather?” He committed 9/11 and must hang. If you don’t care enough to study the matter you are a Tory unworthy of the name “American.”

Run your ad hominem yaps all you wish…patriotic, thinking Americans realize that Thomas Jefferson was right… Rome is the real Anti-Christ, and unless we rid Our Nation of their false-elite Fifth Column we can kiss America’s ideals, principles, Mottoes, and righteousness, goodbye for now.

If public evidence: of controlled demolition of the WTC; the fact that no steel-framed building has ever before or since fallen due to fire; Norman Mineta’s witness of Cheney’s WH bunker stand-down order; Bush’s false claim to have watched the first plane crash into the WTC before entering the Florida classroom; the serial lies of no awareness of the threat; the extraordinary activity of the, as yet, “unknown” Put buyers of American and United stock; and the lies which have “conveniently” sent us to die for heroin and oil, combined with the fact of GHW Bush’s unpunished complicity in the Kennedy assassination; Prescott Bush’s finance of Hitler and the Holocaust, et al and the American Founders’ Whig philosophical perspective recognizing that History “unfolds as a conflict between Rome, and everyone else,” and Rome’s published belief that it “owns the world” (Urbis et Orbis), and that the criminal and fascistic treasonous activities of the Bush, and Rockefeller, families, which they have served for four generations are entirely consistent with papist motivation; the Knight of Malta-led CIA - killing JFK six weeks after his NSAM 263 ordered us out of Rome’s latifundial estate of Indochina, then fabricating the Gulf of Tonkin Hoax; in addition to the unconstitutional activities of the Fed, IRS, and Roman Catholic-dominated Supreme Court isn’t enough to convince one to question the “status quo,” get an EEG to see if you actually have a working brain.

P.S. The scholarship in Professor Griffin’s “The New Pearl Harbor” is incontrovertible; impervious to the scurrilous attacks of partisan traitors supporting the draft-dodging Closet-Queen-in-Chief who committed 9/11 for false war.

Thoughtful readers, please read the book. It is a primer in logic by a logic professor of unimpeached integrity. America’s legacy is important enough to bother.

Cynthia McKinney has a long history of support for:

Social Justice Non-violence Grassroots democracy Ecological wisdom

These are the four pillars of the Green Party. Rep. McKinney represents the next generation of leadership for the Green Party, and most of us are glad she is appearing on the CA ballot. I know that I am excited about the opportunity to campaign for her, and the man-on-the-street, frankly, is not reading nor writing these comments, but is living life on life’s terms every day. Those voters understand Rep. McKinney’s goals and history, and will welcome the chance to declare their independence in Nov. of ‘08 by voting Green.
