DEL.ICIO.USShe’s back! Money being sought for Cynthia McKinney’s run for president
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Somebody — presumably Cynthia McKinney herself — has established the web site www.runcynthiarun.org with the intention of raising money for an ’08 run for president by the former DeKalb County congresswoman.
Says the web site:
“With your help, Cynthia McKinney can qualify as a candidate eligible for these Federal matching campaign funds. To do so, she must certify that she has met the “threshold requirement” for eligibility by raising at least $5,000 in each of at least 20 states. While any contribution up to $2,300 per donor is welcome in support of this campaign, only the first $250 of each individual contribution counts toward that total.”
Blogger and McKinney fan Bruce Gagnon posted this last week:
”I just returned from a breakfast meeting between Cynthia McKinney and some Green Party leaders in Maine. Cynthia has now made it official that she is running for the Green Party nomination for president. She is traveling the country to meet with Green Party members in order to secure their support and build a national campaign….
“Cynthia defined winning as helping to build the Green Party into a viable alternative party in the U.S. that gives the future generations some place to go for political expression and change. Her ability to attract women, people of color, and disaffected Democrats and Republicans will surely provide the Greens the kind of boost they have long needed. How many times have I heard activists ask how do we develop connections to the black community so we can work together? Now is our chance.”

The only way this is “news” of any relevance to anyone is if somehow she does qualify to run, and draws support from the loony, kool-ade-drinking wacko left away from Hillary. Then, I suppose, Cynthia might have a purpose in life (other than her usual twin purposes of (a) serving as a dire warning to others, and (b) providing endless and accessible punch lines).

It is Bush’s fault that Cynthia is a complete tool. He made her dumb as a post. He made her beat up that cop. He also stole her last election. I hate Bush, he has ruined Cynthia’s reputation.

Wait a minute… first she says she’s running for the Green ticket, then she says she’s not and that she wants her old job back as Georgia’s smiling Congressional photo-op isle-bird, and now she’s running again?
Is the Green Party truly THAT desperate?

McKinney is a complete embarrassment to Dekalb Co, GA, and the country. The ‘greens’ should be embarrassed that she’d seek them for shelter. Besides, how could she betray all her loyal democrackkks?
Has McKinney EVER held a real job???
