Cynthia McKinney's Hype!

On August 8th, the 4th district in Georgia will have a run off between U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney and former Dekalb Commissioner Hank Johnson. They will have a run off because none of the three Democrats, McKinney, Johnson and John F. Coyne, III failed to get more than 50% of the vote in the primary. In the primary, held in July, McKinney received 47% to Johnson's 44% and Coyne's 8.5% A local tracking poll has Johnson leading McKinney at 49% to 34% I hope those numbers continue till the polls close on August 8th. So, why am I concerning myself with a congressional race in another state? Simple, Cynthia McKinney is typical of the so-called black leader who believes everything is about race.

In her fight to get back her congressional seat, McKinney defends her voting record by implying that she has been "effective" and because of this effectiveness Congress.org rated her highest on legislation. Which when you delve into the facts (tricky things those facts) the ranking was for the only member of the Georgia delegation to succesfully introduce legislation in 2005. In that ranking she came in 285 of 437. Not bad but not good enough. But if you look further, and you should look further, "the power rankings - which ranks on committee position and general influence, the same organization places McKinney at the bottom, at 408.

A current bill that caught my eye was HR4210 - Tupac Amaru Shakur Records Collection Act. The long and short of the bill is to "protect" the records of Tupac Shakur. The following is some of the language in the bill: "There is a compelling public interest in the life of Tupac Shakur because he was and remains a well-known public cultural figure." The bill was fashioned after a similar bill protecting the records of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. So, if that doesn't get Congress to move its butt I don't know what will because afterall Tupac and King are equals right. Because I know when you think of Dr. King's words you immediately think about Tupac. How about these words from Tupac: I came for the party to get naughty get my rocks on...Sneezin, but still I'm pleasin to all the slimmies...But I dont go nowhere without my jim hat...If I'm rappin, cause she's clappin. Yes, I can see how Tupac could run in the company of Dr. King.

Rep. McKinney is also the congresswoman who accused Capitol Hill police of racism. She is also the congresswoman who claimed that the Bush administration knew 9/11 was about to happen. She is also the congresswoman who made this speech in 2003 at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem. The introduction is from her friend Michael Ruppert who shares in her conspiracy theories. If the above is not reason to not re-elect Rep. McKinney I hope the speech will do the job. Friends don't let a friends vote McKinney.
