    Mr Lewis

    Mr Lewis is NOT free to endorse whoever he so chooses. He is free to shut up and endorse whomever donates to his has-been, sugar-coated ass. That would be the Clintons. Look, I love Bill Clinton and I am willing to admit I don't hate his wife despite the fact that she is Joe Lieberman. And I am all for winning.. I would vote for Ms Clinton in a heartbeat if I had no other choice. We do need to stop the bastards.

    Nonetheless, in the past few decades Lewis, who should be respected regarding his momentum in non-violence in the Civil rights movement(s)..... has become nothing more than a political operative paid off by his handlers in the democratic national committee. And not that there is anything wrong with that, whatsoever.

    In short: anyone who jabbers on about Bill Clinton being a 'brother' has clearly passed their respective expiration dates. The man's faculties are corrupted. He badly needs to rest his jaws (although his brains seem to have made a space for preemptive sleep). I don't want to disrespect anyone, but: why don't we ALL just go vote for someone who may or may not expand the war into Iran?
