There's Still a Woman Running for President This Year
Monday July 21, 2008
She's former US Representative Cynthia McKinney, and she's the Green Party 2008 nominee for President.My colleague Tom Head - who covers Civil Liberties - has only good things to say about her platform of equality and human rights. And he profiles where she stands on a number of issues.
Yes, she's a third party candidate (as is female presidential candidate Gloria La Riva of the Party for Socialism and Liberation.) But she's another choice for anyone dissatisfied with the way this election is going.

McKinney says bring all the troops home now. Oabama says let more Americans & Iraqis die for another 18 months. McKinney says universal health care now. Obama says let insurance companies make medical decisions. McKinney says dismantle NAFTA. Obama says “modify” NAFTA. McKinney takes no corporate money. Obama rakes in the corporate cash. McKinney has introduced impeachment legislation. Obama says inpeachment is off the table. McKinney says 9/11 was an inside job. Obama won’t touch this one. If you won’t vote for McKinney because she can’t win, vote for McCain, because in this racist country, this is one election the Republicans won’t have to fix to win. This November, vote with integrity. Don’t vote for yet another interchangeable bozo of the ruling class because he “isn’t as bad as McCain.” Check out McKinney at http://www.runcynthiarun.org
Linda, thanks so much for the kind words!
Zal, one caveat: McKinney never said that 9/11 was an inside job. She said that the Bush administration had prior knowledge of the attacks, which was later proven when the “Bin Laden Determined to Attack” memo went public.
