Goodbye, Cynthia McKinney ... you were fun, but just a wee bit to much ... "Cynthia"!

This isn't easy for me, Representative McKinney; you were one of the first to question the 9-11 anomalies in 2002 -- about which I began to enter onto my own website as early October, 2001. You asked all of the right questions, but you managed to infuriate your constituents in doing so and ended up out of Congress during 2002-2004. You bravely stood against a President during his most popular years. I congratulate you for that.

I would stand by you in almost any other circumstance, but since a decent and highly credible person is running against you in the August 8 runoff primary (same date as when Lieberman and Lamont go at it in Connecticut) ... and will likely initiate or support a substantial number of liberal initiatives over the next two years, I not only (sadly) have to support Hank Johnson in the runoff, I have to hope that a new and less volatile Cynthia McKinney will emerge from all of this. Of course, I hope that you can find decent employment in Georgia after next January, should you lose.

And yes, you will likely lose, even though you outpolled Johnson 47-44 in the recent primary, requiring the runoff on August 8 (the winner needed 50% in Georgia, as I understand the rules there). Georgia wants someone in Washington who will fight the Republican Congress, Republican Administration and conservative Supreme Court with integrity and no loss of credibility due to foolish actions -- something many of us are prone to doing, myself included. But I'm not planning on running for Congress!

Do the honorable thing and get behind Mr. Johnson in the upcoming General Election. He opposes the Iraq War and is a 100% liberal on almost all of the issues likely to face Congress during 2006-2008.

I meant it when I stated above that you are "fun," but that's not enough. Striking a security guard at the entrance to the House of Representatives took the "fun" one step too far. You have a lot of energy and stand behind what you believe -- that's great! But we are going to need every last nanodrop of integrity and (important) credibility during the next two years. Stand patriotic and firm in your support of Mr. Johnson (below right) if he wins (as I think he will) on August 8.

Should you win, I will certainly be one of your staunchest supporters.

Count on that, Cynthis McKinney!

But let's both support Hank Johnson after August 8!!!
