Voting for Cynthia McKinney for US President
Oh, I have a number of reasons for this, one is that Obama is too establishment for my tastes, he has advisors that had a lot to do with creating the sub-prime mortgage crisis, doesn’t seem to really want to stand up to AIPAC as he should if we really want to create a climate for real peace in the middle east (we should be asking Israel to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and destroy their nuclear weapons before we ask others in the region not to pursue them, and we should have them follow existing UN resolutions).
But perhaps the best reason I have for voting for McKinney is that we desperately need the Green Party to become a major party in the USA and since it appears the only way to do that is to have McKinney get >5% of the presidential popular vote, we have to support her and vote for her. Neither the Democrats or Republicans have a solution to the pending/existing crises facing the US and the people of this planet, these parties are bought and sold to the multinational corporate interests and will not do what is necessary to solve the problems, because the solutions to these problems will impact the corporate bottom line and their corporate handlers will never let that happen.
