Why does Cynthia McKinney suck? I couldn't find anything negative about her except a refuted claim she said Bush had foreknowledge of the September 11th attack. She sponsored the American Health Security Act (H.R. 1200) which is about as progressive as it gets isn't it? She was also charged with being anti-semitic because of something her father said from what I gather. I don't find anything particularly sucky about her on-line so what's up?
