As a somewhat interesting aside, with "hip hop activist" Rosa Clemente as her running mate (because apparently "balancing the ticket" meant finding some one equally crazy), this the first Presidential ticket with two black women on it, if I'm not mistaken.

Dear America,

You can have her. In fact, please, take her.

Love,

Dear America,

I'm all Green and shizzit, but these two are really pretty embarassing. And if anyone knows about embarassing, it's us. All yours.

Stop the insanity.

The Green's are even more pathetic than I imagined. This has approached Daily KOS or NOW crazy.

I-285 is named after her father Billie 'I'll cut you' McKinney.

This is actually pretty absurd. It's as if the two minor parties with any chance someday are deliberately trying to fail, by choosing the worst possible candidates.

It's like the Republican and Democratic parties paid them off.

Someone should make sure she knows that if she wins Secret Service doesn't put up with that slappy bullshiat that the Capital Police apologized for later.

isn't she the one who thought we put the flag on mars?

ho am I kidding? she'd be better than obama...

I didnt realize they have a convention.

BTW, did our mayor (ok not mine, but minneapolis's) drive down to masturbate next to his Prius like he does at home when a news camera is nearby?

Aw, c'mon. We *so* trump you with the president-by-court-order-for-8-years.

Also, we had Clayton "just relax and enjoy it" Williams as governor. Ann Richards did kinda make up for him, though.

... took me a minute to remember all the threads that have been posted about this psycho on fark... and she's the green ticket? Wow, the green party has really jumped the shark.

Cynthia is just jealous of the King family lawsuit.

I don't think they count as a "ticket". Maybe if they got it from a scalper, tho.

 
Bill Frist 2008-07-12 06:29:22 PM  
Bob Barr and Cynthia McKinney are the best they can come up with? And people wonder why no one votes third party...

 
glassa 2008-07-12 06:29:50 PM  
It's official. The only decent candidate is Bob Barr.

Maybe she should hire Karl Rove as her campaign manager. Oops, that won't work, he's fled the country.

You may now resume your racist diatribes.

Black AND a woman, I could hear the brick dropping from Obama's ass all the way here.

It is a ticket, but the cops pulled them over for DWB

So where's the petition? I want this woman on my state's ballot.

/Nader too.

 
pedroloco 2008-07-12 06:34:21 PM  
Dear third parties,

As long as you keep nominating the batshiat crazies, we will still only have a two-party system. Until you guys wise up, you will continue to be part of what's wrong with America.

Sincerely,
-Someone who really wants to vote for someone other than a D or R

 
Zombie Hitler 2008-07-12 06:34:38 PM  
So you know enough to run a black woman, but you manage to pick the craziest black woman in politics?

 
McCainDemocrat 2008-07-12 06:34:52 PM  
Yeah, this will splinter the Obama support even more.

McKinney is a lot of what the more leftist Dems were looking for in a candidate. Consistently liberal, and as angry and crazy as them.

I've already heard of Clinton supporters who will support McKinney due to her closeness to Clinton on a lot of issues of concern (health care, women's rights, the war)

When you consider that Obama is plunging downwards in the polls, this is another bad day for him. Especially when they'll be forced to spend money on lawsuits to keep Nader and McKinney off the ballots (like how Obama was elected to the state senate by challenging everybody else's petitions, including the incumbent)

 
Kuta 2008-07-12 06:34:58 PM  
Internal politics are hellish in the Green Party in the U.S. A very large portion of Greens wanted Ralph Nader again. I'm sure he got nearly every vote that Cynthia didn't.

It's extremely difficult to properly nominate a presidential candidate when half or more of the states effectively don't have their own registered U.S. Green Party affiliates due to excessive hurdles thrown up by the Republicans and Democrats. It creates a very screwball process and gives us a screwball candidate.

/hates Democrats and Republicans worse

 
archichris [TotalFark] 2008-07-12 06:35:30 PM  
If you dont vote for her you are RACIST AND SEXIST

 
Noam Chimpsky 2008-07-12 06:35:40 PM  
McKinney is a real black person who has slave ancestors instead of slave trader and slave owner ancestors like Obama has. Blacks will be betraying their race if they don't vote for McKinney.

 
Bill Frist 2008-07-12 06:36:04 PM  
Alright... McDalpoon isn't even interseting anymore. Time to expand the ignore list.

 
utter_bastard 2008-07-12 06:36:15 PM  
She was elected so many times in GA, so does that mean she could take away some of the black vote from Obama?

Personally I think we should ship her and Vermin Jones to somewhere like Greenland.

 
Bartleby the Scrivener 2008-07-12 06:36:54 PM  
Dear America-

Just writing to say that we had an enjoyable experience shopping in your store. I found the salespersons to be knowledgeable and not "too pushy". The aisles were wide enough, and the ventilation was nice. The bathrooms were clean (but we were able to overlook the water on the counter). Our only feedback is please bring back the Orange Julius stand, and make sure the in-store soundtrack doesn't have Celine Dion on repeat.

Sincerely,
Uzbekistan

that's actually pretty funny. why the scary tag?

Koichi:Black AND a woman, I could hear the brick dropping from Obama's ass all the way here.

Thought we settled this:
Black is OK
Woman is not

Difficult to explain Obama nomination any other way considering the lead Hillary once held.
