Three cheers for John Conyers. Hip Hip Hooray. Yeah Conyers.
I don't understand how anyone here could not like John Conyers. My guess is most of us adore him, respect him, admire him, are grateful to him...what do you think? Who here thinks John Conyers is Great?

I DO!

3. he sets an example the rest should be following.
He shows you can do the right thing and survive.

I wish more Democrats would follow his example.

Right now, he is the soul of the party.

7. good way to put it
John Conyers is the soul of the party.

Conyers has the highest integrity and more stamina than a linebacker. He has an infallible sense of what is right and just pursues that course in the face of the most formidable opposition. When the history of this era is written, a few names will stand out. John Conyers will be one.

5. THis is the second post like this one today...
Did someone post an anti-Conyers rant that I missed? IF there's one person who's universally respected in this corner of cyberspace, it's John Conyers. I, too, don't know where this is coming from.

8. Context?
What's the context of this post?

I love John Conyers. He's represents my home town, Detroit, the most liberal town in the country. That was where I cut my political teeth.

18. I think there are only a handful of politicians ...
in Washington who work for the interests of the average American citizen. I also think John Conyers is the defacto leader of that group. He has my utmost respect and gratitude.
