Cynthia McKinney
Edited on Mon Apr-05-04 07:47 AM by Tim4319
Now, after seeing all of this unfold in front of our very eyes. Is it still fair to say Cynthia McKinney was a "Loose Canon"?

1. No and never was
Cynthia asked provocative questions because she was actually serving her constituents, a rare thing for a politician. She didn't supply the provocative answers we are now getting from Mr. Clarke.

3. I didn't think so either!
But, according to the media and many in the Congress, she was. Now, I believe she is deserving of some sort of apology!

4. can you imagine if she had been listened to
instead of trashed?

I sent her a card thanking her and she actually sent me a hand written thank you note back! With all the letters I've written to politicians over the years that was a first.

9. i never thought she was a "Loose Cannon"
She was/is a courageous and determined truth seeker, a danger to the establishment.

10. We should launch a campaign to garner her that apology... and then KERRY
should hire her for his campaign and admin.

11. No, she spoke the truth. But she was "ahead of her time." So, folks
trashed her. There are still some here who believe she is "loony," and that she hurt her own chances for re-election by accepting campaign money from groups that caused her to be controversial.

But, I believed her and am glad to see she's being proven correct.
