Values?
Like not bombing a medical factory in Khartoum like Clinton did.
Not Bombing and Occupying Iraq like Bush did.
Not bombing and murdering civilians in Gaza like Israel.

Dennis is quite brave. Remember he's faced assassination too. The difference, however, is you're right, he's convinced the job can't be done outside the Democratic party. And on top of that, unlike even Ron Paul, he's endorsed his party's pro-war/pro-neoliberal nominee in the last two elections. Cynthia is both more courageous and simply bolder, besides in our opinions, brighter and even more progressive.

Exactly what precisely does Cynthia mean or imply through the use of the word "values?"

No, that's not the problem..(MyPhone).the problem is she is running at the wrong time in history. People are focused on the possibility of the first bi-racial candidate. I can see more people leaving the Democratic party if the Democrats fail this time around. Right person, wrong time. I'm a swing voter, I swing between Obama and McKinney. I've always loved her, but her chances of winning are slim.

PROBLEM: She killed her own appeal by ASKING for Reparation for Blacks. Yes Blacks were oppressed, but asking for Reparation DURING an economic DEPRESSION is suicide. Besides making a national holiday, there is not much more that can be done. Perhaps if the economy was doing very well and we were OUT of a debt, than can other reparations be started. What should be done is focusing on School, War, and the Economy.

I wish Dennis Kucinich, Barbara Lee, and Lynne Woolsey were as brave as you Cynthia McKinney!

This is why I left the Dem Party too, and certainly after seeing how they treated Dennis Kucinich during the debates.
