There's having guts, and then there's just bein' crazy as a sh*t house rat. The nonsensical, deranged things Cynthia has come up with not only do a disservice to those she'd represent, but I think her world view is a threat to civilization itself. Not that SHE is, but the views she puts forth, that one can trump up ginormous lies about a political rival, merely for the sake of casting aspersions their way, all for the sake of gaining power. She'd undermine her entire nation in order to gain a lowly seat in Congress. I sincerely think she'd accuse, try and convict an innocent person if it meant she'd benefit from it somehow. This is a woman who idolizes Castro and Che Gueverra, along w/ those who strap on bomb vest to murder a bus load of school children.

To say I don't like this woman is an understatement.

Lol. There's a reason to vote for her.
Civilization died a long time ago, and what we have now is a cheapo ripoff.

Even with those with whom I politically disagree, I tend to take the words of the represented towards their congress members seriously. I know that few people in the rest of the country can appreciate how truly awful both Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani are. It's not a partisan thing, clearly, these are just corrupt criminal self righteous asses who care about no one but themselves, and were completely inaccessible to their people.

We had a representative Sherwood Boehlert here for many years, and he was liked by everyone. A repesentative ought to be able to do that.

I remember when Carol Moseley Braun was running for president, I knew a feminist leftist who had been represented by her, and I asked her if she was psyched about this and she, a person of the same political stripe as Braun said "That lousy no good scum of the Earth bitch?"

dream, we have very different views on politicians, and what their role is and should be in Government.

Very different.

Look, we can't go back to the safety and normality of the 1950's, but that doesn't mean we have to sit back and calmly watch the world be destroyed by Islamic maniacs, and godless, suicidal, and anarchic Liberals either. I will always have faith that rational sanity will prevail for our security and fabric of society. The church-crashing transvestite desecrating Liberal world is riding high now, and we are on the brink of a George Soros/ Larry Flynt/ Nancy Pelosisco menage-a-troi un-holy joining of un-imaginably demented brain cells that would wish to see the natives prancing around in togas and love beads, in make-up and clutching Streisand albums and pc reference guidebooks for the new order. And with their inevitable appeasement and surrender- to-terrorists statesmanship, the styles for the ladies will be topless burqas with heads covered in camel shit...choice of gold or purple, hey it's Vegas Achmed baby!

You are correct. That doesn't mean that your doubting McKinney does not make me doubt her, it does.

My view of a politicians job is to question authority. Hence, my favorite republican is Ron Paul. There are a lot of people in the GOP I have great respect for who do it a lot more subtly. Dick Lugar, for example, not the firebrand of McCain, Hagel, Specter or any of those who had the strength to question their own party when it was wrong (look for democrats who will do this. I'm counting on two: Leahy and Feingold.)

Anyway, so yes, by this standard, on a national level, McKinney did a job that caught my attention. If you had to ask me a list of representatives from Georgia, I would be hard pressed to give you one without searching, but even in 2001 I could've named you McKinney, just as I could've named Ron Paul of Texas. It's not for no reason these people were candidates. They were movers and shakers, threats to the status quo.

Now here's what I don't like in a politician: DiFi, Pelosi, McConnell, the keepers of the status quo. Those who uphold the administrative branch. These are the people who I think are not a credit to the system, and their prevalence is one of the main reasons I think the system is irreversibly damaged.

If congress does not oppose the executive, then it is no longer an independent co-equal branch of govt., and at that time, which I think is this time, by a majority of those serving, their is no co-equal branch. If there is no co-equal branch, then this becomes a dictatorship. All the executive needs to do is to bribe the corrupticians who make up a majority of the ruling body, and they have their vote.

And, for the record, the executive is the cabinet, and its advisors, and that cabinet is really chosen by the advisors who then bully the president, and leverage congress, and appoint their people into office, and we're seeing it all over again right now.

I want someone with a backbone to get up on the senate foreign relations committee and say, however loudly, or however softly: NO, this woman is not qualified to be secretary of state, she has no foreign policy experience, and she has no diplomatic skill, she is completely unqualified and possesses not a shred of human tact, and while we're at it, has some unfinished legal matters to settle, and in no way should she be allowed to become the face of the US in matter of international affairs.

Now, Rap, I ask: Who do you think is more likely to do that, someone who upholds the executive and keeps orders in the halls of congress? Or a maverick, loose cannon, individual outside the box thinker who stands in opposition to unchecked executive authority?

Just so you know where I'm coming from.

River,

Let it all fall apart. Start over from scratch. There's no chance of saving this patient, he is dead.
