Joy! and Pain (Repfanz Op)

Joy!! and Pain.
Repfanz23 Op.

Last night in some parts of the country, folks were going through different emotions. Of course I'm speaking about the Primary Elections which saw former Vice-Presidential Candidate Joseph Lieberman lose his state's primary to a relatively unknown anti-war, Bush lied-People died, leftist candidate. That's the pain part. Lieberman who voted for the war and had mild criticisms of the Bush administration, chose to maintain his dignity and stand by his support of the war. Lieberman also did not participate in the leftist agenda of cutting and running. He along with some moderate democrats saw the bigger the picture. But this isn't the reason why Lieberman lost. At least not the real one, I believe Lieberman lost because of his religion. He's Jewish. And right now the left and hereafter will continue to divide itself from Israel and Jews. Some may think thats pretty low and shallow for me to throw in the religion card (which is the "lil joker" in a game of bid whist). I can't help it, my funny math equation brings me to the fact that one, Lieberman voted for the war against terrorism and for us to go into Iraq, plus one, that Lieberman went to Iraq and echoed something totally different than Kerry, Kennedy and "Yellow" Murtha said about Iraq, plus one, Lieberman did not and have not voted along party lines, plus one, that Israel, a Jewish state, is now putting foot to azz!! to Iran errr!! Syria err!!! I mean Hezbolla, which equals that Lieberman, a Jew, who voted and supported the war and the President, who went against the leftist grain is out as a democratic representative.

Emotions are little mixed here. Lieberman has said he will run as an Independant candidate, I wish him luck.

Now the joy. All in the land of Oz, the locals are singing, ding-dong the witch is dead! Thats right Cynthia McKinney has been ousted. A resounding 59% ousting by the good people in the Decatur, Georgia area. Who basically had enough of her monuments to Tupac Shakur and her conspiracy theories about 9/11. At least the folks of Decatur will hear more of Tupac's never heard or released stuff, before they hear from McKinney. At least I hope. And as joyful as I am for the people, McKinney went out looking just as bad as her new hair do on that dreadful day for the DC police-officer. You all remember, that's the time when McKinney decided to go from one bad "do" to one that was just as worse. McKinney apparently on "CP" time, forgot to wear her congressional lapel and decided to just walk past the security check area. The officer just doing his job, stopped McKinney and instead of hearing, "Officer, I'm Cynthia McKinney, representative from Georgia, District (whatever number), I'm running late for a meeting, here is my identification or password of the day," got the right hand to jaw explanation. What the citizens of Georgia got for an explanation was, at first, the cop was racist, second, the system is against me because I'm a black congresswoman and third, just heard last week, I'm not perfect.

For some reason I think I'm forgetting something about McKinney, lets see, what is it? Oh!! Instead of hearing apologies and speculation as to why she lost her seat. McKinney went as far to say this in her supposed concession speech:

"We aren't going to tolerate any more stolen elections. We're watching you and we want our leaders back or we will become the leaders."

Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga.

Well at least she went out finally talking partially for the people of her district. True, it was because they were watching HER and in total disgust, that they all said, we want our leaders back......

At least the true ones....
