Quote:
The time for confrontation has come for me," Cynthia McKinney told about 60 supporters on December 4. Launching her quest for the Green Party Presidential nomination, McKinney compared her "revolution" to Haiti, Venezuela, and war-torn Cote d'Ivoire.


Quote:
The former six-term Democrat Congresswoman was ousted in 2006 from Georgia's 4th Congressional district for the second time. In 2002, she spoke to the Black Congressional caucus claiming that President Bush had foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks. She also openly solicited $10 million from the Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal; New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani rejected the check after the prince suggested U.S. foreign policy had brought on 9/11. McKinney's actions resulted in her first electoral defeat in the 2002 Democratic primary, after serving five terms in office. On the night of her 2002 primary defeat, McKinney's father told media, "Jews have bought everybody...J-E-W-S." She came back in 2004, and promptly signed a "call for immediate inquiry into evidence that suggests high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur."


Quote:
The Greens are on in 21 states right now. If Cynthia McKinney is the nominee, and if she qualifies for primary season matching funds, and if the FEC pays primary season matching funds quickly, it is possible she could get on in all 51.


I thought there were only 50 states?

Does this woman actually think she can win?
She has finally gone crazy, IMHO.

Surely no crazier than Alan Keyes, who's run hopeless campaigns from the right for years.

Puerto Ricans vote in US Presidential elections, although they have no electoral college votes.

Only she knows if she thinks she can win, but regardless of her thoughts on winning getting matching funding and on all 51 ballots gives her a platform for her rhetoric.

It's an expression from British English, but if you think you can run with Snood, by all means, help yourself . . .

Sorry, dude. I ain't pickin up what you're puttin down...

not receiving messages clearly...

not comprehending what you're sending...

not diggin what you're rappin about...

an 'arse' is a 'behind', or 'butt', best I understood it. So, when you said you couldn't be arsed, I asked if you couldn't be un-arsed, as in, persuaded to leave a seated position...

In the English spoken outside the United States, "can't be arsed" means "i can't be bothered to do that."
