Cynthia McKinney didn’t lose because the lack of votes from the Democrats, she lost again because Republicans crossed over to vote against her. This is reprehensible that the Republicans are allowed to dictate who will represent the Democratic Party. Hopefully this type of deceit is only found in Georgia.
McKinney Loses Runoff – Tuesday, some voters – both Democrats and Republicans – interviewed by The Associated Press at polling places in McKinney’s district said they were fed up with her controversial behavior.
"I’m getting tired of being embarrassed. She’s an embarrassment to the whole state," said Republican James Vining, a 72-year-old retired electronics repairman from Tucker, who crossed party lines to vote for Johnson.
Instead, they voted on Hank Johnson who promised not to do anything once he got elected. The real embarrassment is not being smart enough to see through the political games and to know when you are being manipulated to vote against your own interests. Everything from this point forward, people in Georgia’s 4th District shouldn’t complain because they elected someone who stands for nothing, which means more than likely, he will give them nothing in return.
If I were Cynthia McKinney, I would move to a more progressive State. This is her problem – she is simply to progressive for Georgia.
