Green Party Taps McKinney

Clearly, the Green Party does not do their homework. In Georgia, Cynthia Mckinney is a complete joke. She became a congress woman on the tails of her Dad, however over time she became known for her out of control behavior. She was consistently rude, unprofessional, uninformed, crazy, obnoxious, and a regular old loud mouth. Whoever thought she would make a good candidate needs to loose their job. The people in Georgia were glad to see the door hit her as she exited the State. She was a notorious embarrassment to us and we were happy to see her and her hair scrunchie go elsewhere.

Unfortunately I think McKinney is an asset to the Dems. This woman is so unpalatable I don't think she is likely to pull much if any votes away from Obama, unlike Nader's effect on Gore in 2000.

I believe Hon. Cynthia McKinney has a lot of common sense and could still serve the Democratic party better than what she wants to do now. I urge her to retreat because Ai Gore is the world's exponent of the Green cause and the Green party can not better his performance.
Cynthia come home.

Why IS barack obama so fearful of a debate with Mccain?

Good for Cynthia! Bad for Obama!

If only the MSM would give the third party candidates the time of day. They only have eyes for Obama. I will vote for Nader/Gonzalez.

She is a JOKE

Ms. McKinney has every right to run for President. Some people, however, display behavior that makes them unsatisfactory as a national candidate. She has displayed such behavior, and a party that nominates such a person, loses credibility. I wonder if the Green Party shares her values, or are they simply making a political statement that is lost on the average voter.

I must say it was an interesting move having not one but TWO black women on the ticket. It shows the Greens don't feel that being of color or being female as a defect which has to be compensated for by having someone white and/or male in the VP slot. I am pretty sure the Democrats will not have two black candidates on THEIR ticket (although a white woman as a VP candidate is a distinct possibility.)

There you go Hillary supporters. A woman to vote for.

I suggest looking at Bob Barr. Obama and McCain are showing their true colors. Very ugly colors that do not match.

Why is it suggested Cynthia is an Obama Hater because she has a difference of opinion? While she has been controversial by the sub-standard measurement of society--just look at her record and what she did for the people in her district. The brainwashed status of the majority of minds that only two parties can run, or that you should elect a leader from either of those parties simply shows the ignorance and ininformative status of the minds of the average voter. Why is it because we have the opportunity to elect the first Black president that all others have to sit and "wait their turn", so as not to "upset the applecart". Where is the activism in the hearts of the people that say" we don't want to take this anymore?" Where is the voice of the people the voice that speaks for the entire planet?"

How dare anyone cast a stone at another human who chooses to place themselves in the public eye for change, although they know they aren't infallible and will be scrutinized. Why is it considered laughable for the Green Party to nominate this former congresswoman? Becuase she lost her temper? Isn't she human? If she can run a country anywhere near the successes she achieved while in Washington, why shouldn't she run? When will the people realize it's not about electing the first Black, Woman or otherwise...these vessels we call bodies are simply meat suits that contain our beingness. We are human beings not acting human! Where's the party and the people who are calling for that crisis to end? I was just about to get into the fray for Obama, but I am going to look at Cynthia more closely and perhaps present to her campaign options that could really get this party noticed, if not this time...the NEXT!

I know, do you?

If you live in a state that is almost guaranteed to go solidly blue or red, you can help the process by voting for a third party candidate (be it McKinney or Barr). If a candidate can get at least 5% of the national popular vote, his or her party will be eligible to field candidates for the next four years without having to gather signatures on petitions (a time-consuming, money-wasting effort with no guarantees of success due to the silly rules that allow whole pages of signatures to be rejected.)

If you continue to start with the mindset that a vote for anybody but a Democrat or Republican is a "wasted vote", then you are the one who is wasting your vote. It is your vote to cast, not theirs to demand. No third party candidate will win the White House this year or in the foreseeable future, but helping those alternate parties on a national level can help get non-Democrats and non-Republicans elected to Congress. And that is where we have to start.

They lost all credibility by selecting this ignoramious to represent their party. They were looking somewhat legit with Nader, but now they look like some whacko fringe party.

Once again the Greens stand out with amazing courage to run people of substance outside the corporate controlled, undemocratic two-party system. This must be why the Green Party has elected officials in high positions in Europe and elsewhere. It's sad that most U.S. citizens are too brainwashed by the status quo to understand that speaking truth to power is not "nutty," but desperately needed in our broken, racist, sexist nation. GO Greens!

One hears a lot of emotional rants on these blogs, but the first criteria for a candidate is that they be electable. As charismatic as a character from the godfather might be, we know that running a felon for office is a waste of more than gasoline.

We have some serious issues at stake, and I have no problem with running people who are well educated. Having an Ivy League education seems to be a good thing. Other may feel differently.

Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel has a PhD in Chemistry from a prestigious university. I like the idea that the next president might have an understanding of science and math and be a good person with good motives. There are Merkel's in the US.

Liberals should vote for Cynthia - a true liberal.

Cynthis has way more experience than Obama and is not a corporate goon like Obama.

What a joke! I'm a Black American and I will not vote for either for Obama or McKinney; the content of their collective character is non-existent. Obama says what he is told to say without knowledge or conviction and McKinney couldn't even keep her job with a majority Black American district.

I think a Green party candidate should be committed to non-violence... which McKinney clearly is not. She is controversial and spews a lot of hate and vengeance. Not very green, in my opinion.
Like the song says, It ain't easy bein' green.

Mckinney has a chain of corruption and bizarre behavior following her so wide one would think she is a Clinton. She misappropriated funds and hit a capital guard. This must be the Green Party's last hurrah. They will never be taken seriously after this. Shame on them.

Cynthia Mckinney's run for prez is a joke. Mainstream will never vote for her. We have a chance to make Obama the most powerful black man on earth. Can Cynthia put aside her vain attempt for attention to get behind a black movement? Obama got 93% of the black vote! Let's not disturb the movement. Cynthia is no different than Jesse Jackson...someone who hates to see another black get more attention than them. What a shame.
