You know, I'm really beginning to not like this woman. I mean, she knows she not going to win, she's only expecting to get 3 – 5% of the votes in the GE herself. So why even run? I really hope people aren't dense enough to actually go out and vote for her.

OBAMA / BIDEN '08

I am an independent, but I lost my confidence in the Green Party after their nomination of her.

I think we need new parties. Are the democrats better than the republicans..................YES. But Bush and company wouldn't of been able to do all of that without the complicity of the democtats. The republicans are suffering now for putting party ahead of country and voting consistantly with Bush. And the democrats will be in trouble because they just did nothing. I am bit disguisted with both parties. Obama 08

Good for her. At least she stands by her beliefs rather than flip-flop on important issues depending on what poll says. She is an example of what I like to see in politicians. Of course, I don't agree with her platform, but I respect her.

I'm sure all you Democratic sheep and Republican robots are confused by this woman. Its called conviction, integrity and courage. Find a dictionary and look them up!

Sister McKinney, I hear you girl, but you should really put your energy behind your brother Obama. If McCain is it, there will be no more Green in the world!

Look at how afraid you all are when someone actually has the courage to speak the truth!

McKinney '08

I agree with Marcello. Cynthia McKinney rocks.

The corporate media has painted a picture of Cynthia McKinney that is less than rosy because she dares challenge their inept propaganda machine. Why does this story have the last paragraph included? It has nothing to do with anything in the story besides to try and discredit her.

I will not be fooled.

Folks, the corporate media continues to lie to you.

And to some of the commenters above: McKinney is NOT a democrat. She is a Green. My goodness....

Marcello – yep and now she is out of a JOB. She is not a politician. You have to STAY in the job to help your constituents. She didn't know how to play the game to her advantage. She is now on the outside looking in with absolutely no press coverage!

I might vote for her,if she is on the list in my state,or else it will be Nader.

They can't just cut off funding without a withdrawal plan. She's not thinking logically.

Go Cynthia! Keep on fightin' !!

Just like Sharpton and Jackson, she has to spew thoughtless retoric to make a living.

Please be quite and go sit down somewhere.

She has not learnt. Her mouth gets her into trouble.

Cynthia McKinney is everything that Obama and Clinton claim to be. She opposed the Iraq War when the Dems were too chicken to even cluck. She stood up to the Bush administration when the Dems were too spineless to get out of bed. She stood up for the disenfranchised while the Dems were sipping champagne with CEO's.

McKinney has courage. She backs up her words with action. Why vote for a pretender when you can vote for the real thing?

Telling her to sit down because you might disagree with her?

The fact is... she's an intelligent woman who says what most "Liberals" believe. It's just sad that the Democratic party must pander to "middle America". I'll vote for Obama because there is no viable alternative, but her politics are dead on and I pray that someday the country will come around to her thinking.

She is a perfect Democrat! Has no idea what America is really about. God bless the idiots in this world.

I'm sure Cynthia's heart is in the right place but her mind is not. The GOP is trying to get the death blow in on the American Dream and we don't have time or the luxury of placing protest votes and making points.

She is siphoning votes from Obama which results in at least a partial vote for McCain.
Cynthia, you and Nader are being far more harm than help and you may as well as count yourself and your supporters as proudly in favor of electing John s. McCain to the Presidency.

YOU GOT THE BOOT, MCKINNEY! GO SIT DOWN.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08-'12

im a black woman and i can say this mc kinney needs to go sit her but down. once the war was started did she think that they should fight with rocks and sticks and not eat, get real. funding was a must.

WHo opened the doors to the nut house???????????????

Keep rocking the boat and Speaking Truth to Power, sister.

Eventually the Democrats will start listening, or else many more will leave, and the party will dissolve into history.

Go Cynthia, Go Greens!

My mother always told me if you can't say something nice or of value don't say anything so – I'm done on this one.

Another "turn-coat!" Throw her in the dark hole with Liebermen.

What a nit-wit.....

Why not go to Denver.....all the free advertising for the election year

I'm sure you'll find a few nutbars to listen to you...another loser

Oh, shut up you!

She is crazy!!!
Girl go sit down some where!!!
LOL!!!!

The two party system is corrupt!

Who is anti-War?

Both Obama and McCain want more troops in Afghanistan
Both Obama and McCain are Israel-centric in support
Both Obama and McCain are scolding Iran
Oh and Obama want MOST troops out of Iraq.

Sounds like politics as usual all around.

CNN, please stop deleting my reality responses to people's concerns. If you can come up with something better, please POST it and I'd be glad to read it:
As I grow older, now in my 60's here are some things that I have learned:

1. The Democrats have low IQ levels when in comes to politics; the Republicans have very high IQ levels in the area of politics.

2. Democrats are emotional (kind of sissy-like); the Republicans are emotionally-stable, determined, and have a clear goal–TO WIN!!

3. The Democrats worship their candidates (the person), the Republicans are very faithful about the party, not the candidate (even when such a candidate is dumb or senile, he or she will get their support).

4. The Republicans are great at running campaigns, but terrible at running a large nation such as the U.S.

5. The Democrats love to lose (losers); the Republicans love to win at all cost, no matter the means!

6. The Independents are the true Genuises; only they can rescue the "wimpy" Democrats from the hungry-politically smart Republicans!

So, this is the last and best opportunity the Dems will ever have, for the next 20 years, to regain the White House. Let us watch them screw it up again because of their goddess!

Why is McKinney attacking Obama when she should be attacking McCain. It makes no sense. McCain wants war and you leave him alone. Obama wants to stop the war and you attack him.

Hey McKinney your problem is with Bush and McHitler for starting the war. Use your forces to stop the republicans you idiot!

mckinney please sit down

She's right. As long as this thing continues to be funded, they are ALL guilty of continuing this disastrous war.

How much longer can we afford it?

This woman is desperate and pathetic.

Look what spending your life on politics does? Turns you into some sort of lunatic. McCain 08 – and PROUD OF IT.

democrats should be made to answer for doing nothing to help the country since taking control of congress. Obama and company have no problem pointing fingers at McCain and the republicans but in reality what have they done now that they control. answer they have done just like Obama and just like they will continue doing they will talk talk talk and blame others for their failures the only one in that party that ever walked the walk is Bill Clinton and we have seen what the wannabes have done to him. if they have no respect for their own how can we trust them with our future

I think if I were McKinney, I'd stick real close to the Democratic Party
and not make useless trouble for them. This is insanity on her behalf!!!!!

Wow. Can you say crazy?

Bush lied when he took the oath of office for the first and second time. He said he would defend and protect the Constitution. Of which he did neither.

Obama 08

Talk about bitter. Just think where she'd be if she had only worn her Congressional pin that day. While I think the guards were over zealous about man-handling her, and she did not get the support she needed from her colleagues, she made the situation worse.

Obama 08

let's do the math

8 years Bush + 4 years of McCain would equal to adding
to the 4300+ lives lost & still mounting in Iraq, ect.

McKinney's a nut-case; I was thrilled to hear she left the Dems!

Isn't she at the wrong convention? The Dem's didn't start this!

The war was based on a lie by Republicans!!!!!!!

I thought McKinney represented the heart and soul of the Democratic Party. Another Democrat who left for "greener" pastures.

The McCain campaign is running a TV ad attacking Obama with statements that are literally true but paint an incomplete picture.

It says he "voted against funding our troops." He did – exactly once. Obama cast at least 10 votes for war-funding bills before voting against one last year, after Bush vetoed a version that contained a date for withdrawal from Iraq.

It says he "hasn't been to Iraq for years." He was headed there at the time the ad was released, however, and had been there in 2006.

It says he "never held a single hearing on Afghanistan." It was the full Senate Foreign Relations Committee, not Obama's subcommittee, that had the hearings on this global hot spot, and Obama attended one of those. Over the same time period, McCain himself attended none of the Afghanistan hearings held by the Armed Services Committee on which he serves.

From the guy who won't fund our troops when they get home.

This lady supported to war before her son got killed. She should be bashing McCain , the war lover.

She sounds like a wack job. The Dems want to cut funding off nonetheless but they also don't want to leave our troops high and dry out there fighting this pointless war. That is why the Dems priorty is to end the war first. Cynthina, you are a dummy, a fake Hillary Clinton.

I like her more and more as the democrats continue to entrench themselves in the politics of old.

How long before McCain puts her in a commercial?

Cynthia Mc Kinney is a pathetic has-been with anger issues who will do anything–and I mean anything-for attention.

Please for God Sakes send her back to Atlanta.

Give it up McKinney!!!! You will get .0001% of the vote sweety

That McKinney for years was a Democrat only proves how screwed up the Democrats really are.

How dare McCain talk about the war funding when he has done nothing to help the returnig troops and veterans. He has no problem sending us in harms way, but could care less when we get back. He has an F for his support for ther veterans. Obama got a B. Guess who we are going to vote for?

Obama 08!!!

LOL!!!! The Green Party!!! Who they got as their running mate?? "The Hulk?" LOL!!!!

GO HUG A TREE

What a wack job. Has someone evaluated her sanity?
