Well, Cynthia McKinney, you had a good run. Crazy bitch that you are. I don't know what those Georgians were thinking when they elected you, but I'm glad they finally wised up. You represent the worst of politicans, but ironically, your attitudes were just a little more up front than your colleagues. Oh, I'm sure most of them share your belief that as a politician you can get away with whatever you want. You've been in there since 1993, entrenched, where you've weighed in on the loftiest ideals of our Republic such as slave reparations, Tupac Shakur and renaming buildings after Frank Church, an obscure Democrat who once ran against Jimmy Carter in the Democratic primaries.
But wait ... as I look through the bills she introduced, I start to see a bigger picture. She also sponsored:
HR 5738 Corporate Welfare Reduction and Job Preservation Act of 2006 - A bill aimed at decreasing tax benefits and handouts to companies who lay off workers. (dying in committee)
HR 5377 and 5376 - Two bills aimed at multinational corporations, requiring them to implement posted "codes of conduct" for their foreign subsidiaries and requiring full transparancy in all of their overseas operations. (also dying in committee)
She stood alone on these. Couldn't find a co-sponsor, which doesn't surprise me. How many honest men do you think there are in Washington?
And here's my personal favorite ...
H. Con. Res 274 - Reaffirming the continued importance and applicability of the Posse Comitatus Act - Whoa! At a time when all the other politicians are lining up and bending over for George Bush and his band of war criminals, giving them increasing war powers and means under the Patriot Act, this lady actually called for a reaffirmation of Posse Comitatus? Good job!
So now it's starting to look like Rep. McKinney posed a serious threat to the multinational corporations who control our government. I'm beginning to see why they used the media to blast her when she made an ass out of herself in public, and I'm starting to lament the fact that other more polished politicans have moved in to take her spot.
You know our system has suffered a serious malfunction when you more closely identify with the 'crazy' politicans.
