CYNTHIA MCKINNEY...i for one admire your courage to stand TRUTH TO POWER

[flordehinojos]

WHERE O WHERE ARE THERE OTHERS LIKE YOU IN THAT BEND-BACKWARDS/RUBBER-STAMP DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS OUT THERE IN WASHINGTON D.C. TODAY?

i SAY, YOU GO CYNTHIA MACK! YOU GO GIRL!

1. Where are the others?

Here are a few:

John Conyers
Barbara Lee
Bernie Sanders
Ed Markey
John Oliver
Dennis K.
Henry Waxman
Maxine Waters
Barbara Boxer
Russ Feingold
Patrick Leahy
Tom Harkin


There are many more. It's unfortunate that people don't recognize that we have a substantial number of good progressives in the House. We seem to have a tendency to focus on one person and act as if that person is the sole brave liberal. It's not true.

2. I wouldn't class Cynthia with Conyers, Kucinich, and Sanders.

She makes me cringe. The others make me sit up and listen.

4. Fair enough.

I put far more stock in the others too.

6. I do. n/t

7. why does cynthia mckinney make you "cringe?" is it the tone of her voice?

i find that she speaks truth to power--and she has the courage to do it. and yes, maxine waters, sheilah jackson-lee, conyers, barbara lee they do too but maybe their voices do not have the same effect as mckinney's does.

3. Please add Henry Waxman, Maxine Waters and Barbra Boxer to that list

Thanks

[cali]

5. Done. Thanks

I'd like to make a comprehensive list of the good guys. I love Waxman.
