No argument from me. But will Majette become a MORE "effective" congresscritter than McKinney ever was? (As a Democrat you know what that means.) I take it there's no chance of a Republican winning the general election in that district? If a Republican had a chance, would their chances be better running against McKinney or Majette?
Just curious.
"More effective?" As in "bringing home the pork?" My GOP congresscritter brags about that every election time, so that's not exclusive to the Dems. However, McKinney wants reparations and Majette does not. McKinney associates with some rather unsavory groups like the ones I listed; Majette--well, she's gotten support from (GASP) the GOP and Jewish groups--in certain respects, this race parallels the Hilliard-Davis race in Alabama (Hilliard holds similar positions to McKinney--although Hilliard did travel to Libya; Hilliard's antisemitc campaign was a whisper campaign--McKinney has her daddy doing that for her; Hilliard brought in--get this--Al Sharpton. I doubt if McKinney's going to make that mistake, but she will accept the Fruit of Islam as her bodyguards). According to those in the district (you'll have to check the McKinney threads), McKinney only helps those constituents that support (read "donate") to her campaign. Those that don't have been "adopted" by other congresscritters in Georgia for constituent services because McKinney refuses to do so. Why should a veteran who lives in McKinney's district have to call another congressman for assistance? That's just plain dumb.
I could get into the accusations that McKinney made about Bush knowing about 9/11 & grovelling for the $10 mil from the Saudi prince that Rudy Guiliani rejected, but that's fairly well-known. McKinney is extreme to the extreme; she wallows around with known antisemites like Louis Farrakhan, supports Robert Mugabe and Zimbabwe, she plays the race card, has her daddy call freeper protestors "Nazis" and a whole lot more.
All in all, if the GOP candidate had a chance, this wouldn't be an issue. But the GOP candidate in that district does not. This is an issue between a Dem candidate that is so far left that she's disappeared from the face of the earth and someone who's moderate, someone who supports the Palestinians and someone who supports Israel--and someone who's dreaming about the day she'll be chairman of a subcommittee on the International Relations Committee so she can investigate human rights violations right here in the USA.
One thing I am curious about: McKinney says she won't "racially profile" her donors. Does that mean if McKinney got a campaign donation from the Aryan Nations, she wouldn't send it back?
