The fact is that almost every Congressman is as guilty as Conyers...
Edited on Thu Apr-13-06 03:17 PM by kentuck
The hypocrites are out in force. How many Congressmen have had one of their aides go and pick someone up at the airport? Or sent an aide to get a gift for their family? Or had them call someone on personal business rather than Congressional business? Or had them meet them at the airport with a car? Or had print out information that was not part of their Congressional duties? Or picked up their suit at the cleaners? Or made reservations at a fancy hotel with someone not their wives??

6. CNN is pushing the Repub-talking point that Conyers had his aides...
..babysit his children or some such story. It's really earth-shaking! (not really) But the truth is that they want to destroy Conyers before the Democrats take over in November because Conyers will be in charge of hte Committee that will investigate George W Bush and has already stated his intent to impeach the sorry son of a bitch...

5. But not every Congressman is as liberal as Conyers.
Which is his real crime, in the eyes of the Repugs.

8. Conyers, Rangel & Sen Clinton were all part of Watergate investigation.
Edited on Thu Apr-13-06 03:42 PM by CottonBear
After 2006, when the Democrats win back the house, Conyers will be chair of the Judiciary Committee.

Rangel had better watch his back. He's next on Rove's swift boat hit list. :scared:

10. When Republicans lie, cheat, and steal - look the other way
When Democrats send an aide down the street for a sandwich - unleash the wolves!

The members of our so-called media should be the first ones on the walls when the revolution comes.

11. Yep, and how many GOP Congress Reps would sell their soul for what Conyers
did to be the worst thing THEY ever did and got caught at or may get caught at????

That's for the ones who might not already have sold their souls, of course.



:crazy:

12. The screamingly funny part of all this:
Apparently, the women's accusations stem from
their work 10 YEARS AGO....

THIS is what they've "got" on Conyers?

Jeez.
