#1 If an African-American runs against her, he should turn her "talks to power" slogan against her.

"She can 'talk to power' all day, and does, and it doesn't change anything. But if you elect a black republican, he won't 'talk to power', he will *be* power. He won't talk about bringing in new jobs, or getting loans, or getting federal money, he will do it. McKinney talks and talks and talks, but nothing ever happens except she looks foolish."

#2 We tell the story about our people," McKinney recently told an applauding crowd, sweltering under a tent at the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts in Stone Mountain, in the heart of McKinney's district. "Thank you for supporting this effort to get the truth out to our people."

Hmmm...Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts...I guess that tells me all I need to know about her district to explain how this moonbat gets re-elected.

#3 McKinney's a problem, but the bigger problem is that her constituency is dumb enough to keep sending her back to Congress.

Living in Massachusetts, I can't look down too far on her constituency. Hey, at least our elected officials aren't complete wild-eyed certifiable moonbats with severe self control issues.

#4 at least our elected officials aren't complete wild-eyed certifiable moonbats with severe self control issues.

Well, the wild-eyed part at least.

#5 Alaska Paul, you may wish to check with your elected senator about this. (via Instapundit)

Gah!

#6 Being a local (not in her district, but right next door), I can tell you it is certifyably LLL Moonbat territory. Of course, the northern part of the County she represents (DeKalb) is upper middle-class, and getting to be a hot area for business to relocate (get the heck out of downtown ATL). The northern part of the County can't stand her, and have a lot of posters about about defeating her. In fact, many speculate that's how she was thrown out a few years back (beat in the Donk primaries by Denisse Majette), because the white repubs "switched" parties to vote her out in the Donk primaries. Of course, Majette got greedy (wanted to run for GA Senator with only 1 2-year term in the House under her belt), so McKinney got back in. Truly, the "exception to the rule" in GA politics, that's for sure. It's a major urban, majority black county a lot of which is dependant on gov't handouts, so read what you will into that.

#7 Oh yeah, GA law allows you to switch parties to vote in "the others" primaries, if you should so choose. Needless to say, McKinney doesn't show her face at all in the northern part of that county.

#11 Now, University of Georgia political scientist Charles Bullock said he expects McKinney should have a clear path to re-election -- riding a wave of popularity among core ~~voters~~ criminals in the wake of the Capitol Hill incident.

#12 And there are people on the left who still wonder why racial discrimination refuses to die. I guess the bottom-line question is how many Condis does it take to wipe out the perception among everyone else that the McKinneys of America are the REAL face of black America. More than we've got, I'm afraid. "The Tupac Amaru Shakur Center" indeed...

#13 McKinney is an arrogant fool only outdone by the fools who would vote for her. I agree, rascism is alive and well in the US...but not where the MSM likes to point.
