I guess that would mean something if the elections still meant something.

Yeah. It's funny how the percentages were so much closer in the first election, which is why they're having this runoff now, but now it's a total blowout.

McKinney was the only person in Congress that was even REMOTELY close to expressing 9/11 Truth. She was shoved right out the door !!

McKinney Loses Runoff for Georgia Seat
Aug 8, 11:36 PM (ET)

By ERRIN HAINES

DECATUR, Ga. (AP) - Cynthia McKinney, the fiery Georgia congresswoman known for her conspiracy theories about the Sept. 11 attacks and the scuffle she had earlier this year with a U.S. Capitol police officer, lost a runoff election Tuesday for her district's Democratic nomination.

Attorney Hank Johnson, a former county commissioner, won the nomination with 59 percent of the vote, surpassing McKinney by more than 11,000 votes.

McKinney, her state's first black congresswoman, has long been controversial. Her suggestion that the Bush administration had advance knowledge of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks helped galvanize opposition and she lost her seat in 2002, but won it again two years ago.

In her latest brouhaha in March, she struck a Capitol police officer who did not recognize her and tried to stop her from entering a House office building.

A grand jury in Washington declined to indict her, but she was forced to apologize before the House. She drew less than 50 percent of the vote in last month's primary.

Didn't this guy call McKinney a terrorist or something?
