Here you go Buddy, someone to vote for. Cynthia runs Former Rep. Cynthia A. McKinney, the Georgia Democrat who was voted out of office last year after a headline-grabbing scuffle with a Capitol Hill police officer, has decided to seek the presidency as a Green Party candidate, the Associated Press reports. In a video posted on the Internet on Tuesday, Mrs. McKinney criticized the ongoing war effort in Iraq and complained about Democrats and Republicans, saying both parties are beholden to corrupt corporate interests. She called the Green Party "my new political home." Mrs. McKinney, 52, registered to vote in California after a group called Run! Cynthia! Run! began drafting her as the Green Party's candidate there. At least seven candidates are seeking the Green Party nod for president, which will be given at the July 10 convention in Chicago. In the seven-minute-plus video posted on YouTube.com on Tuesday, Mrs. McKinney had particularly harsh words for her former party. "The Democrats do not speak for us," she said. "The Democrats are no different than their Republican counterparts." One of her final acts in Congress was to introduce a bill to impeach President Bush, saying he misled Congress into approving the war in Iraq. She once claimed that Mr. Bush had advance warning of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
