Why is it that Liberal Dems always manage to have the "hand written notes" long after the fact? ie, Vince Foster...

McKinney will not debate. She is following the philosophy- Be silent and let people think you are an idiot rather than speak and remove all doubt.

[Paul Atreides]

She's waiting to see if an Arab prince will offer her money to do the debate.

[Lazamataz]

If McKinney does not show, she must have internal polling showing that she is far ahead.

And if she wins, I have zero hope for the voters in her district -- and eventually, for America.

[Paul Atreides]

The McKinney campaign alleged Tuesday that there is a "smoking gun" document proving that Majette lied.

Get Cynthia! Suddenly, lying bothers her.

[Humidston]

Amen!

We, the electorate, get what we deserve.

From this evening's 11Alive News (WXIA/Atlanta):

Former state court judge Denise Majette sent Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga) an invitation for a debate in the Democratic primary race for Georgia’s 4th Distric.

A Majette campaign representative delivered a letter to McKinney’s headquarters Tuesday. The McKinney campaign refused to respond to the debate challenge unless Majette answered to allegations that she lied about hiding trial transcripts during a case that she presided over.

Additionally, McKinney’s father, State Representative Billy McKinney, said his daughter does not need to debate a woman he called an unknown in the primary race.

“No one in DeKalb County knows Majette. Everyone across the country knows Cynthia McKinney, why should she debate a nobody in this race?” he said.

Everyone across the country knows Cynthia McKinney

In the same way everyone across the country has known a particularly irritating rash a time or two.

Being silent would be a first for her. She's so scared I think she'll pee her pants.

Feel free to use and pass on:

The McKinney Files....

BTW, I've heard variants of "I don't know much about her..." and get the feeling I'm hearing the spawn of a push-poll or focus group-type survey.... just a gut feeling.

Just when I think NY has all the stupid democrats...

Cynthia McKinney, another cell in the Democratic Crime Syndicate.

Laz, it may be that Queen Cynthia might be asked some awkward questions about receiving money from some radical Muslim group members on 9/11, about her accusing President Bush of knowing about 9/11, her support for Robert Mugabe, her support for Louis Farrakhan, her support for the Palestinians, her antisemitism...I could go on, but you know Jihad Cindy doesn't want to be put on the spot.

I hope she doesn't show. Majette can debate an empty chair & get loads of publicity.

[mewzilla]

And I hope he brings up the subject of the donations. As far as I know, she's returned NONE of the money.

[RabidBartender]

"McKinney claims that Majette tried to hide the transcript. Her campaign said Tuesday a handwritten note from court reporter Sharon Jones, who was later fired, proved that Majette lied about the existence of transcripts of testimony from the trial."

Man, she is really grasping at straws here, eh? When is the primary?

[jmaroneps37]

The numbers tell the story. Mckinney down 2,to a candidate that only 28% in the district know, 98% know who sinthiah! is they just don't like what she is. I understand Georgia allows crossover voting. If this is so, Ga. GOPers ought to return some of the heartburn the rats in Detroit gave us in Mich's 2000 pres. primary.

[Catspaw]

She had to return $1000 to the CAIR guy, Abdurahman, who said something like "We are all Hamas...we are all Hezbollah" at a White House rally in 2000. Why? Because he gave her $3K on 9/11 and the maximum he could give was $2K.

[Catspaw]

The primary is August 20th.

I certainly agree about the no hope for voters in her district. But the eventually for America remark is totally off base. That district, or any one district, has no bearing on the overall thought or quality of people in America. That's a real stretch.
