Remember how McCain said he would rely on John Lewis

and his wisdom? (Saddleback joke forum) And how here at DU we were all like "um, since when are you friends with John Lewis, dude? PANDER!"

So here's a good article about that:

John McCain says he plans to consult with Democratic Rep. John Lewis when he's president. That's news to Lewis.

(snip)

But even though McCain has now repeatedly cited Lewis as a role model and potential adviser, McCain has not established a relationship with the Georgia Democrat in the 22 years they have served in Congress together. At the time of McCain's Selma speech, a Lewis associate told my colleague David Corn that McCain has never been close to Lewis. Lewis was not told about McCain's speech in Selma in advance, nor was he invited to attend.

In response to McCain's latest invocation of his name, Rep. Lewis said in a statement requested by Mother Jones, "I cannot stop one human being, even a presidential candidate, from admiring the courage and sacrifice of peaceful protesters on the Edmund Pettus Bridge or making comments about it." But, he added, "Sen. McCain and I are colleagues in the US Congress, not confidantes. He does not consult me. And I do not consult him."

It took McCain years to fully embrace the goals that Lewis was fighting for on Bloody Sunday. In 1983, McCain voted against making Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday a national holiday, in opposition to most members of Congress, including many of his Republican colleagues. In 1987, the governor of Arizona repealed the state's recognition of King; McCain supported the move. It was only in 1990, 25 years after Lewis marched in Alabama, when Arizona reversed its decision that McCain changed his own stance on the issue.

McCain is a dingleberry on the ass of the devil.

something that I think is a great point: McCain said John Lewis is one of the TOP three people he would rely on for wisdom.

John Lewis endorses Obama.

Ergo, McCain should ENDORSE OBAMA!!!!!

WHOOOOOOOO

Your brilliant! :pals:
