Rep. John Conyers, patriot

[paineinthearse]

Imagine this scenario:

November, 2006: Democrats win the House & Senate.
January, 2007: 110th Congress begins its work; John Conyers elected Speaker.
February-April, 2007: House Judiciary Committee holds impeachment hearings against * & Cheney, votes articles of impeachment.
May, 2007: House upholds articles of impeachment, sends to Senate.
May, 2007Who: Bush and Cheney on trial by Senate, convicted of high crimes and misdemeanors. JOHN CONYERS BECOMES PRESIDENT OF THE US.

Who else has been at the fore for every critical issue? What better person to heal and lead our nation than Conyers, who has consistently shown leadership, integrity and courage on all the important issues:

Guckertgate
Coingate
WMD
The invasion of Iraq
Plame/Rovegate
Department of Peace
Floodgate
Election fraud
Media manipulation
Downing Street Minutes
DSM2
Executive branch abuse of power

1. Great scenario -

unfortunately you had me going with it all starting next month and not a year from next month. Suggest an edit. ***sigh***

[paineinthearse]

3. oops

Good catch, got ahead of myself!

Maybe Hestert and Sensenbrenner could help expedite matters?

[rosesaylavee]

5. They are imploding but not fast enough

for my taste.

Notice that their troubles are not in the press as of late? What's happening there?

[populistdriven]

9. The press has sworn not to let *'s #'s stay below 40.

Havn't you noticed they get all quiet everytime there is a poll below 40?

[ClassWarrior]

13. Crave instant gratification, huh?

Sad what capitalism has done to us.

NGU.

[rosesaylavee]

15. I wouldn't call an 8 year wait "instant" ...

and I don't remember how long we have had to tolerate having Denny Hastert as our rep here in Illinois...at least a decade. I consider myself rather patient - not to mention overtly optimistic in thinking any of this will, eventually, be history and our congressional representatives will be intelligent people of integrity.

[ClassWarrior]

16. Eight years? So then you've had at least four opportunities to...

...door-knock and phone bank for Denny's opponent. I trust you've taken advantage of those opportunities?

NGU.

[ClassWarrior]

23. Hmmmmm...

NGU.

[ClassWarrior]

24. It's no longer enough to wait. We've got to MAKE things happen.

NGU.

2. President Conyers, though?

I like John Conyers. He's been a soldier in the trenches a long, long time. But not for president.

[ClassWarrior]

4. Ohhhh... that sounds so sweet... Quit teasing me, paine!!

John Conyers... :yourock:

[bonito]

6. I'll vote and support Conyers

He's a good man, and thats hard to beat.

[ladjf]

7. That's it. You've got a plan. Start a movement.

[paineinthearse]

10. The movement started at Sat Oct-08-05 10:48 AM

The question is, will DU support it?

[ClassWarrior]

12. I'm campaigning for Bryan Kennedy - that's one of the 15 we need...

...to take the House. What's everyone else doing?

NGU.

21. Nancy Pelosi will be Speaker of the House.

John Conyers will be Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. How does President Pelosi sound?

[paineinthearse]

22. The country needs a healer

Who would be a better healer, Conyers or Pelosi?

[hiley]

25. I sure don't see a better person than

Congressman Conyers is a patriot and an extremely hardworking intelligent one at that.

[renate]

26. he really is a true patriot

I love the guy with all my heart. He gave us hope, by speaking the truth and not backing down, in the darkest days after last November.
:loveya:

[loudsue]

27. If there was ever a man who really DESERVES to be president

it's John Conyers. He's a true patriot, a hard worker for the rights of the people, and he's smart and kind.

O8) If only ...... O8)

:kick:

[reprehensor]

28. I love that guy.

The Democratic Party should be very proud of this man.
