Is Cindy McKinney helping or hurting

Poll question: Is Cindy McKinney helping or hurting

a Dem House Takeover in '06

on Edit: hAD TO CLEAN UP THE CHOICES CAUGHT IT AFTER ABOUT 10 TOTAL VOTES

1. Yes What? No What?

helping or hurting?

can you edit the poll to clarify?

[bananas]

3. I assume "Yes" means helping

and I agree it should be edited for clarity.

[bigwillq]

4. I agree

it needs some editing.

[SPKrazy]

18. Still Waiting For Clarification.

I believe she is hurting the Dems

although probably only marginally, she is hurting herself more

[Charlie Brown]

2. Her HANDLING of the situation is certainly hurting

the incident itself is forgetable.

[DS1]

5. fix the options to make sense and I'll vote

[billbuckhead]

7. Cynthia McKinney has been physically attacked

And we won't defend her.

[DS1]

9. An unverified person tried to enter a secure zone

and the cops are at fault for stopping her.

[SPKrazy]

15. I Agree

but I'm wearing my flame suit

you?

[DS1]

17. I'm already burnt to a crisp

Flamesuits are irrelevant when you have ideas and concepts behind you

[SPKrazy]

23. This Issue Is So Emotional

That I would dare say that if the RW wanted to divide and conquer, they would come to DU and rage and stomp about "if you aren't with Cynthia, you must be a freeper" type of rhetoric.

Why can't everyone take a deep breath.

We don't know what happened other than what the media, and Cynthia are reporting happened.

But Cynthia has retained an attorney, and a grand jury is now looking into this.

I find it hard to believe that just because people like her, that they wouldn't be asking, "wait a minute, what did happen?" instead of jumping to the concusions that a) the cops are racists; b) the media is hungry to have a Dem doing something wrong; and c) that you have to "pick a side"

I choose not to pick a side, I will wait for the situation to work itself out. That doesn't make me a "freeper" it doesn't make me dysloyal to the Democratic "cause" (I think winning elections is our cause), and while I have no idea if the media is hungry for a Dem scandal, they might be, but that still doesn't affect my stance.

thanks

28. It's because dominant culture Amis

have never had BOMBS dropped on their heads up until Katrina. But then it was only black and poor folk. Haiti was physically attacked as were Afghanistan and Iraq. Americans have yet to defend anything but their "right" as 6% to CONSUME 25%. Who IS this Cynthia McKinney you speak of??? Is SHE being attacked??? :shrug: She may be hurting DEMOCRATS in her pursuit of the truth??? String her up NOW.

6. Hurting Herself More Than Us

I don't see what her hijinks do for or against the Democratics' cause, except there may be a seat lost if she's convicted of something.

More than that, she's making herself look very, very bad. Hey Cindy, you're not better than any other rep on the Hill. Being a congresswoman doesn't give you a free ticket to be as rude as you like.

[DS1]

11. Besides throwing the media big juicy bone

and I KNOW that says a lot about the media, but the DEMS were in such a great position, Tom 'The Hammer' Delay was going down

but now it's all about "the race card" at the security line... BIG FUCKING DEAL! WEAR YOU'RE GODDAMN FUCKING PIN! Yes, I'm rather pissed off about this.

[EllieGreen]

14. Gee...

...tell us how you really feel! :evilgrin:

P.S. I agree. ;-)

[Perky]

16. Not my choice of words but SPOT ON right.

[IndyOp]

8. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney

I find your use of "Cindy McKinney" to be dismissive.

:thumbsdown:

[Oversea Visitor]

10. One law for all

No double stardard
Dont matter if one is just a ordinary people or the President of the USA
One Law for all

[Neil Lisst]

12. it's off message and gives the other side cover, so it's hurting

I support her, but the other side wants to stir it up because it helps them hide the stank of Iraq, traitors, and pervs at DHS.

[DS1]

19. exactly

If she was abused, then it should be dealt with. Yet, the reason why the GOP has managed to dominate the Government is standing by themselves. To a point, we need that, otherwise we'll fall into the same power-trap.

[Canuckistanian]

13. I'm holding my final opinion until the video

But I think it's instructive that there's such a vitriolic attack on her, no matter what happens.

They don't attack individuals for nothing. She's hated. Despised. Loathed.

And I'd like to know why, exactly.

[Azathoth]

20. Marginally hurting

The more airplay this whole thing gets, the more damage it's gonna do to Dems. Unless a video comes out that clearly vindicates McKinney, this thing does not help us at all.

22. Considering how often Perkmeister whines about Dems...

..."hating Christians", you might be onto something.

[Perky]

25. How long are you going to beat that drum Zhade

Have not posted on the subject in about a month maybe more. You sure you are not stalking me? haha.

[Zhade]

33. Don't flatter yourself - you'd have to be a bigot for that.

Since, apparently, calling out a homophobe racist (whose racist post was deleted by the mods) is 'stalking'.

But you do have to admit, you sure did whine a lot about bullshit 'persecution', and you hold some, er, questionable liberal stances.

But I'm NOT calling you a freeper or anything.

[Lena inRI]

26. You betcha, Zhade. . .

something stinks about this poll, this so-called majority voting, and this poll poster. . .what a con-game!

[Perky]

30. LOL

So what is wrong with the question. Is there any bias in it one way or the other?

[Perky]

24. Wow

I evut of the way to no bias the poll with any comment. pro or cone.. I was mere curious as to how the comunity felt...sorry you don;t like the majority view.

[Marie26]

27. I don't think she cares

The best & worst thing about McKinney is that she could care less what other people think about her. She's not going to change to help a Dem. house takeover, IMO.

[BlueAlert]

29. I think she has a good message at heart...

however every time I've seen her on TV she's been horribly rude and that doesn't help her issue or democrats at all

[Perky]

31. I totally agree eom

[rinsd]

32. Thank you for a nuanced poll (nt)
