Cynthia McKinney Gets Green Party Nomination

Posted by Dave Blount at July 13, 2008 1:12 PM

As the Democrat Party lurches ever farther to the left, it's getting harder for the Green Party to outflank it. This year the Greens have been forced to go completely over the edge by nominating former Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) as their presidential candidate.

She does have an impressive resume:

• helped create her old House seat through race-based gerrymandering;
• was a member of the extremely radical Progressive Caucus;
• has a voting record that is applauded by the AFL-CIO, NARAL, and the NEA, a teacher's union that bears heavy responsibility for the current sorry state of affairs in education;
• has voted to legalize killing babies even after they are born;
• has voted against safeguards to prevent fraudulent voting;
• has refused to vote to condemn the rabidly racist lunatics at Nation of Islam;
• has taken every possible opportunity to express her hostility toward Israel;
• has taken massive political campaign contributions from radical Muslims;
• begged for the $10 million Rudy Giuliani turned down after 9/11 from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal — money that came attached to the message that we deserved what we got for supporting Israel;
• publicly said, "We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on September 11. What did this administration know and when did it know it, about the events of September 11th? Who else knew, and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered?….What do they have to hide?";
• supported brutal Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe's policy of confiscating land from Caucasians; and
• counted the Association of Trial Lawyers of America as one of her biggest campaign contributors.

The nomination was McKinney's for the asking; there's no one else to the left of Obama.
