Green Party Faction Wants McKinney For President In 2004

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that Nader may have competition among the Greens in the person of former Democratic Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. Hmmm ... a controversy on the issues splitting the Green party vote and harming Nader. Wouldn't that be ironic?

I’d love to see these two run together on the same ticket, putting the final nail in the coffin of whichever Dem makes it to the general election… but does McKinney even want to run?

Even knowing that running will split the democrat vote and benefit the GOP, it is a tribute to the value of team effort(vs “I, Me, Mine”) on that side of the aisle that they always run anyway, probably to make a statement of some kind.
Watch ‘em do it again this time around.

So the Greens are ready to jump in bed with McKinney, the same McKinney whose father blamed her last congressional defeat on Jewish money. So we might witnessing an little anti-semetic feelings among the Green.

That seems to be a textbook excuse for failure among a variety of socialists: Blame it on the infamous “Jewish money”.
It certainly worked for the Austrian with the little moustache when he needed some people to use as scapegoats for Germany’s disasterous economy of the 1920s and 1930s.

In building your amazing Aqua application, one of the most important things to consider is the Dock. There are three things your app needs to be “Dock Compliant.” Now, I write this knowing that the Dock will be going through some major changes soon, but for the most part, these should still hold true.

Gee, the supportive posters don’t seem very interested in CK’s platform. . .
Her Daddy is not interested in the Green Party for her - no power in it.
If she runs it means she stood no chance of winning back her congressional seat. She might decide then that the Green Party nomination could keep her name in the news - for a furture run at some office.
