Requesting a McKinney Topic Forum please.

Can a McKinney Topic Forum be made?

Isn’t the McKinney topic just being used to keep people's focus away from such topics as:

Bush breaking the law on domestic spying and voting reform?

I mean really, you might as well be playing for the other side with all this McKinney bashing.

1. I agree..
I think this issue was manufactured by the GOP in order to divide our attention keep us distracted, and also to lessen the marr on Tom Delay's problems - it's a bunch of crap..

same with the goddam immigration issue actually.

13. She’s one of ours and if people can ...

ask Skinner to delete threads about not voting Dem during election time, then
I can at least ask people to withhold judgement until all the evidence is in.

Such as a video or eyewitness.

Fair enough?

I just have a lot of trouble with blind allegiance. It's proved catastrophic in the history of the world. We have to be better than that.

*** allow me to point out that I've posted here that I'd follow Gore over a cliff. So I guess I'm not one to talk. However, he submitted to bullshit airport searches without complaint.

15. Mercenaries, maybe?
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." —Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004

Good Luck with your campaign! :hi:

If we behave like Republicans (excusing bad behavior out of loyalty), we are no better ourselves.

Al Gore submitted to searches with honor and dignity. That's the example we should emulate.
Not this bullshit.

4. A topic forum of how McKinney has stood up to the BFEE and what it has
cost her would be good. I haven't seen the bashing of McKinney but I am sorry to hear it...maybe if there were posts like the one in GD a week or so ago with the CSPAN film on prisonplanet of McKinney going with both barrels at the sick rumsfeld for his support of DynCorp Human Trafficking, the missing $2 TRILLION in the Pentagon and the lies about 911 and the obnoxious Repig chair deflecting questions that crumbsfeld could not answer and repeatedly calling McKinney "this young lady" instead of Congresswoman or even Ms. would have been respectful.

11. I also heard another story today.
A teacher who keeps a 40mm bullet on his desk as a paperweight blew off part of his hand when he used it to swat at a bug.
