McKinney A.W.O.L.--AGAIN
Rep. Cynthia McKinney’s (D-Ga.) Democratic opponent is criticizing her for missing a vote on an amendment to a bill reauthorizing the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that opponents argued would have gutted the legislation.
“Once again, Representative McKinney was missing in action for a crucial vote. While her colleagues fought the good fight, she was planning for that evening’s festivities in New York. She let others carry the load and came in at the last minute to take credit for a fight already won,” DeKalb County Commissioner Hank Johnson Jr. said in a statement after he was informed about the missed vote.
It is unclear why McKinney might have been traveling to New York City; she did not respond to requests for comment.McKinney and Johnson, who are both black, will square off Monday in a debate in which Johnson is likely to highlight her missed vote. He forced a runoff election, scheduled for Aug. 8, by holding McKinney to 47 percent of the vote in last week’s three-way primary.

Ba-ha! Great find, DRAT! She's such a loser...I'd have to laugh if the dumbasses in her district actually re-elect her. Tell you the truth, I hope she wins. It only strengthens the Republican Party to have embarassments like her in office.
The late Congressman Adam Clayton Powell once said his mission in life was to "Teach the American Negro the meaning of punctuality''.I quess ol'Cynthia 'Buckwheat''McKinney missed that lesson.Johnnymac
Hi Mad Z! J'Mac, that quote was hysterical! I hope they reelect her, too. She can only help us. Maybe she'll beat up another cop!
