117. Again, here's John Lewis's 2016 ENDORSEMENT OF HRC!

Thu Oct 8, 2015, 01:16 AM

Oct 2015

"As our former Secretary of State, Senator from New York, and first Lady of the United States, Hillary Clinton is the most qualified person to be President of the United States. I know her heart. We need her leadership, not just here in America, but all over the world. She is tireless in her advocacy for those who have been left out and left behind. She is ready to be President on day one. Hillary Clinton has my wholehearted endorsement, and I plan to work and campaign for her to see that she is elected the next President of the United States."

Former UN Ambassador Andrew Young also endorses Hillary Clinton. These are both lifelong activists of stature and integrity, so their endorsements say something important.

You use the word "appears", so you are not sure !!!! Pauldg47 Oct 2015 #87

you may have called the wrong member JI7 Oct 2015 #10

There's also this: ForwardMotion Oct 2015 #11

The people you spoke to appear to have been wrong. Scootaloo Oct 2015 #27

i think because of the calls they decided to ask someone more higher up JI7 Oct 2015 #32

Agreed it should be self deleted. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #36

People answering the calls are many times not up to date with the latest information. No surprise still_one Oct 2015 #39

She inadvertently called out DemocratSinceBirth and questioned his integrity DemocratSinceBirth Oct 2015 #42

And less than a week ago you were pressing for people to tone down the rhetoric. jeff47 Oct 2015 #45

The unedited post made me look like a liar or a fool: DemocratSinceBirth Oct 2015 #50

And? jeff47 Oct 2015 #53

Are you fucking serious. trumad Oct 2015 #57

And? jeff47 Oct 2015 #67

Do you really want me to bother googling for every time you called someone a liar? jeff47 Oct 2015 #76

Delete the Op trumad Oct 2015 #78

Why bury the mistake instead of owning up to it? jeff47 Oct 2015 #81

You resurrected a thread to demand people calm down? jeff47 Oct 2015 #119

What is that you're doing? I followed a brand new link here, I didn't look at timestamps. MADem Oct 2015 #121

I'm responding to "My Posts" lighting up. Because you decided this thread needed more rage. jeff47 Oct 2015 #122

I am sure you have seen the NBC links in your thread which says the contrary. However, my comment still_one Oct 2015 #38

True. It's probably a 19 year old in college answering phones. ForwardMotion Oct 2015 #40
