Cynthia McKinney received a rousing reception at a Georgia NAACP fundraising dinner in Savannah, blasting the Democratic Party for failures on Iraq, ignoring Hurricane Katrina victims and failing to impeach President Bush.
“From the Democratic Party to the Congressional Black Caucus to those habitual Democratic voters, we’ve lost our home team,” McKinney charged. “Do we even know it?”
McKinney blasted the Democrats for making no efforts at “impeachment of a president guilty of lying to the American people, spying on the American people and bankrumpting our economy,” and even blamed the Congressional Black Caucus for voting “to fund the war machine and its surge.”
There has been wide speculation that McKinney might seek the Green Party nomination for president next year, but she has not made her plans known yet. At the convention, her father, Billy McKinney, commented on her plans; “I have some idea, but it’s not ready to be divulged yet.”
