What is it about the job that makes them so selfish? It is not the job that makes them selfish, it is selfish people gravitate towards politics and become career politicians. Our Founding Fathers warned us about career politicians but we, as a society, have forgotten their warning.
Many years ago I started telling people that career politicians were basically all sociopaths. Last year I saw an article stating that very thing.

“I seem to recall that when he ran against and beat Julian Bond, he’d accused Bond of being a cokehead and liar.”
It’s true.
I remember way back in ‘86 when Lewis and Bond faced off in the Dem run-off. The winner was as good as elected to Congress because it was a heavily Dem district.
Lewis won the run-off narrowly primarily by winning huge margins among white liberals who were alarmed at Bond’s fiery rhetoric. Lewis was thought to be calmer and more well thought out.

that about sums up Lewis simply a race hustler.

Why do they call it civil rights? It was black rights and had nothing to do with civil. Civil rights encompasses ALL races in my book, not just some butt hurt minority. Anyhow, good riddance to this rat

White wooden dummies can be more effective than 90% of white Democrats in Congress, and the dummies would be smarter than most of them - like AOC. 😋

Lewis ....(D-Ga.) What in the world did the old catfish ever do for his constituent?
This guy was living off the conk on the head he got at the bridge.
****
During a campaign for The House in '86, he ran advertisements accusing Julian Bond of corruption, implying that Bond used cocaine.
Slimey as always.

He’ll still be voting 50 years from now.

Worth Repeating...
“Lewis did more harm to genuine civil rights than he did good for them. He was a tool of the radical Left”
