Conyers on awards & Edwards: "Senator (and Vice-President*) John Edwards

[MelissaB]

I hope this doesn't come across as self-congratulatory, but I wanted to bring to your attention two very humbling honors I received in the last twelve hours or so.

First, there was an event in my honor last night in Washington with a very special guest: Senator (and Vice-President*) John Edwards. As many of you know, John’s life story is an amazing one of achievement, sacrifice, and humility. He is a guy who never has forgotten where he came from.

Back to the event -- I received lots of embarrassing compliments and praise. My volunteers camcorded it and some clips are posted below. One word of caution: this looks and sounds like a home movie and, like a home movie, we ran out of tape for the last ten seconds or so. So you don't feel like you completely missed the end of the show, I will summarize: John Edwards gave a typically rousing conclusion to his speech about the need for Democrats to fight for what they believe and stop the tactical politics that turns off so many Americans. He shunned the suggestion that we somehow need to change what we are about to win elections and advocated for exactly the opposite: a recommitment to the ideals of the Democratic Party.

Am I reading this right? Does Conyers know the election was stolen and isn't afraid to say it?

2. He did just call him Vice President, right?

I'm not dreaming, am I?

[merh]

4. No, you're not dreaming and he did call him Vice President.

You have to admit, he is a pretty neat fellow. Can't help but love and respect him. What courage and what caring. :patriot:

6. I know you've been around - I've read some of your posts.

:hi:

The idea of Rep. Conyers being afraid to speak out just struck me as funny. I loved hearing him call Edwards VP - thanks for the post.

7. He sure would make a good first black president.

I am so tired of white men being president. We need a woman, or a black, or a hispanic, or an asian, or anything but a white male again. As long as they are progressive, of course. But I will vote for a white progressive man before I would vote for anyone on the repug side of things.

8. He really thinks Smirky cheated

I don't blame him. You go man! :)
