You're not the only one who feels that way.

I am very intelligent and informed, and I don't buy into the message from the MSM. Yet I obviously am a "sheep" because I have problems with McKinney. Are other people not sheep for buying into the idea that she's never done anything remotely wrong, other than a trumped-up "disagreement" with an officer?

In my mind, it's OK to be embarrassed by both McKinney and Bush. Of course I'm much more ashamed of Bush. But I would never give a Democrat a pass for any old behavior. I don't give Democrats a pass just because they're Democrats. I don't know that Johnson is any better than her -- I'll reserve judgement until I see him in action. But I don't think she is the country and party's savior, either.
