Omigawd! The election was last week and she lost. Can't you let it go? Do you have to kick her while she's down?
Uh ... Truthfully? Yep!
Almost every day since the election, the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation (which, to its credit did everything it could to prevent Ms McPiggy's re-election) has had articles about why 'the cutest little communist in Congress' lost in the primary. They've also had articles about how Bob Barr, shot himself in the foot (sorry couldn't help that. For those of you who do not live in Atlanta, during a fundraiser at a supporter's house, Bob Barr was handed an antique gun which 'just went off' - gotta watch those guns with minds of their own - and blew out a sliding glass door.) and shot holes (sorry again, I just can't help it) in his chances to beat John Lindner in the primary.
The lamestream media all said it was the crossover Republican vote, not to mention the campaign contributions from, in Bill McKinney's words 'JEWS, J-E-W-S'. Billy McKinney, jihad Cindy's father, just happens to be a racist, anti-Semitic BIGOT, B-I-G-O-T. And isn't it delightful that he is in a runoff for his seat in the Georgia House? Maybe we'll be twice blessed. Anyway, back to the lamestream media. They have been talking about the out of state contributions from Jews and AIPAC, a Jewish PAC. Many of the stories fail to mention that the majority of McKinnney's contributions came from out of state Arabs and Arab organizations. There's still another dark secret that the media does not want us to know, which I'll mention later.
But first, let's have a little history lesson. In 1990, during the last gerrymandering redistricting, the Georgia Democrats wanted to set up three minority (code for black) districts. They succeeded. In the 1992 elections Sanford Bishop, John Lewis and Cynthia McKinney were elected to Congress. Unfortunately for the Democrats, they had done such a good job, that there weren't enough Democrats left over for the other eight districts and in a stroke of delicious irony, the other eight districts elected Republicans.
So fast forward to 2002. In this year's gerrymandering redistricting they did a much better job of marginalizing Republicans. Georgia picked up two more seats and in the gerrymandering redistricting, the Dems think they might have made them Demmo seats. We'll see. In Ms Big Mouth's district, they took some of the poorer black areas out of her district and gave them to John Lewis. They also took the Republican areas of Gwinnett County (where my friend Richard lives - the lucky bastard) and made that part of the new district that John Lindner and Bob Barr fought over. Us poor folks in Beautiful Dunwoody were stuck with jihad Cindy. Stone Mountain was added to her district. Stone Mountain, although black, consists of middle class and upwardly mobile black families.
Let's see what happened in the election. Jesse Jackson endorsed Cynthia. Jesse, your day has passed. You have become a caricature of yourself. Someone get a hook and get him off the stage.
Louis Farrakhan came to town. Now I know that got a lot of Republicans and Jews off their butts in Dunwoody.
Let's pause for a public service here. I present to you the Louis Farrakhan African Name Generator. My new name is Raheem.
Back to the election. In this Sunday's AJC, in yet another article about the election, after first mentioning as an aside that the Supreme Court handed Bush the 2000 election ...
Time out! Time out! Time out! Does anyone remember when the rule was facts on the front page and opinion on the editorial page? Now the rule seems to be keep telling lies and eventually the people will believe it. The Supreme Court did not hand Bush the election. They prevented the Florida Supreme Court, made up entirely of Democrats, from letting Algore steal the election. The Supreme Court told Florida to follow its own fricking laws! If there was to be a recount it had to be in every fricking precinct and not in selected precincts as the DemoRats wanted to. Since there was no time to do this, it wasn't done. And to top it off, all the recounts that the Rats wanted were done after the fact and guess what? Bush still won! I AM SO SICK OF THIS!!!!!
... it said that the reason McPiggy and Barr lost was that they were too extremist. Maybe so. But it turns out that even without the crossover vote, Cindy would have lost!!! She even turned off her base that she pandered to. In South DeKalb, where she was always strong, turnout was low. This in spite of the get out the vote buses to take people to the polls. Her outrageous antics and remarks even turned off the liberal Emoroids (the academics at Emory University). And, this is the telling point: The middle class blacks in Stone Mountain went for Majette. These are the people actually living the American dream.
At TCIDNN (The Company I Dare Not Name) the black people I work with are hard working, intelligent, educated and articulate. They, as I do, realize that there is still racism in this country. They also realize that the practitioners of racism are usually dumb yahoos and are irrelevant. My black co-workers, may have got into the door via affirmative action, but they have stayed employed through hard work and dedication. Over the last few years, TCIDNN has had many workforce reductions (layoffs), workforce redeployments (layoffs), and (the current term) skill rebalancings (layoffs). Unlike in the 80's, now the people get cut without regard to race, gender, or sexual orientation. If ya don't do the job, outcha go. Here's your cardboard box. Knock, Knock. Who's there? Not you anymore.
So here's what the lamestream media won't say. To more and more black people, the Cynthia McKinneys, the Al Sharptons, and the Jesse Jacksons no longer speak for them. They don't need government. They're probably starting to feel, as I do, that they pay too much in taxes. These are the people who voted for Denise Majette. And that is what the liberal press does not want us to know. The black middle class is becoming more conservative. Maybe they're not ready to vote Republican, but they may be able to pull the Democratic Party more to the center. McPiggy was too far to the left and she was just too fricking loony!
I'm sure that Denise Majette is still too liberal for me and I will probably vote against her in the general election, but I don't expect her to blame all the problems in this country on white folks. She has promised to represent all the people in her district and I'm willing to believe her.
And now, if Cynthia McKinney will keep her big fat mouth shut until her term expires I will write no more about her.
Fat chance!
