  Don't trust her....

  I was in her district in GA when she was in Congress. This woman is not who Greens should be wanting to represent them. When she lost her seat, she & her father (both career politicians) had no qualms about letting their true colors show. They both said it was because of the Jewish vote! This in a district which is massively African-American with a very small Jewish population. She also had some rather outlandish theories regarding the 9/11 attacks, among other things.

  Knowing what I know about her, I think the Greens should have looked elsewhere for a candidate. McKinney acted like a nutcase as Congresswoman, & it's likely she hasn't changed much since then. Don't waste your vote on her; she's really not worth it.On Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney talks to Grist posted 1 year, 3 months ago 19 Responses

  Obama's very good, but...

  I still believe Edwards is the best candidate in the race right now. He opposes liquified coal & nuclear power expansion, which are both not such eco-friendly energy sources. That, combined with his positions on other issues, should get him more attention, but the gender/race issues being pushed by the media have overshadowed his campaign. Edwards also takes NO lobbyist money, which makes it even tougher for him to compete. He gets my vote on Super Tuesday.

  Hillary has limited appeal to me, & Bill's unwarranted comments during the campaign have made her even less appealing. Obama has always been my 2nd choice, & I think he'd do a much better job than "Billary" would. Regardless, any of them would be a vast improvement on what we have in the White House now! I'd vote for a goat over any of the Republicans who are currently running.On What does the 2005 energy bill vote say about Obama? posted 1 year, 10 months ago 8 Responses
