LMAO freaking idiots, worthless, power mad, corrupt idiots.

LK   July 27th, 2009 - 11:05 am

Finally a clear visual of STUPID!

I’m sure Conyers is signing himself and his family up for whatever health care he and his Communist co-horts try to foist on the rest of us!

I love the deflated sound in the reporter at the end when he says his name and network – LOL!
I heard him say, “I’m So And So and I can’t believe that I am able to report such a blatant example of coruption and irresponsibility for Blah Blah Network.”

If you can’t or won’t do the job then get the feck out.

This IDIOT represents everything bad about the Liberal Dems in office..He won’t investigate ACORN….and now admits Why read the most important bill ever to come to them…we’ll just vote it in anyway> UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!

He is a Total Idiot…And the mostly Bl@ck community that votes this creep in office every year…are IDIOTS TOO!!This also goes for all those who keep voting in people like Kennedy, Reid, Pelosi, Kerry, Dodds, B,Frank,both Senators from Vermont, Boxer, low lifes like McKinney, The Muslim from Illinois,Deval Patrick in Mass,The Mayor of San Francisco….and every Dem who voted for the Stimulus Bill,,Car and Trade..and now the extremely dangerous Socialist Health Bill.

WE MUST vote ALL of them out come 2010 and 2012…WQrite..call,E-mail them all..tell them “Enough is Enough” and that YOU WILL help get them out of office if they vote for Cap and trade and the Obama Health Care Bill…Don’t be afraid…God is with us.

WhosRight   July 27th, 2009 - 11:14 am

And after the health bill passes, Conyers will say that this was the greatest bill ever put together.

How does he know?

Because Barry told him so.

what a bunch of idiots.

racist   July 27th, 2009 - 11:55 am

taxation,without representattion,/reading every bill that comes before congress/is tyranny..

Get Barack To Work   July 27th, 2009 - 11:58 am

This is gettin’ to be re-goddam-diculus!

Why read the bill, when there are dinner parties to attend?

What about posting the bill online for 5 day, like Obama campaigned on? Then you will have thousands of eyes reading it.

The loonies are running the asylum!

X   July 27th, 2009 - 11:58 am

I think we need to elect people who can read.

Eddie   July 27th, 2009 - 11:59 am

A prime example where the phrase ‘Drink The Kool-Aid” came from! Yeah, I don’t understand it but you go ahead and shove it down my throat. NO WAY!

Moron!!

Looks like the Congressional “DIRTY LITTLE SECRET”………..is that these BOZOS don’t
take the time to read any of the legislation that they vote on………..

VOTE ALL THESE BOZOS OUT.

Monica   July 27th, 2009 - 12:25 pm

And here is a prime example of a very stupid democrat who should have his *ss kicked to the curb, and please take that cow Pelosi with you.

Monica   July 27th, 2009 - 12:36 pm

Yeah, God forbid if anyone were to see any intelligence coming from the Democrap party, please don’t read any of that bill, cause we can’t have any of that crap.

Jack   July 27th, 2009 - 12:40 pm

Conyers won’t be needing to sign his family up for this healthcare, his wife’s heading to prison after pleading guilty to accepting bribes to change her votes while on the Detroit City Council. She’ll be taken care of in the big house. Nice that the head of the judiciary committee has this going on under his own roof,what a joke.

John Conyers brain   July 27th, 2009 - 12:45 pm

“You expect us to do some actual work?…but…but…I’m just a figure head. I read speeches, and vote on bills and chair committees. You know easy stuff. You don’t expect ME to actually do real work!”

“Nuh-uh, man!”

The US constitution was a few pages long. Why should one bill be over a thousand pages long? It seems like it is a means to sneak in a bunch of unnecessary crap. And for those that have read sections, that is exactly what those dem clowns did.

Daniel Peters   July 27th, 2009 - 1:50 pm

Whatever, it’s ridiculous.

It’s like when Hoyer laughed off the length of the proposed health care legislation earlier this month: http://sadelephant.org/2009/07/10/steny-hoyer-in-stitches-over-unread-bills/

Craig Eliot   July 27th, 2009 - 2:06 pm

YOU FREAKING STUPID MORON, YOU !!!!!

WHY DON’T YOU JUST ADMIT YOU SHOULDN’T BE IN CONGRESS !!!!

IDIOT !!!!!!

VOTE THESE IDIOTS OUT OUT OUT !!!!!!

Pigmalion   July 27th, 2009 - 2:22 pm

That is the point, what a dipstick!

mary M.   July 27th, 2009 - 3:10 pm

Mr. Conyers reading creates dialogue and critical analysis of text. How can you make such an ignorant statement about your obligation to the people that you represent? I ask you, are you in the habit of signing important documents without reading them? I guess if you do not read important piece of legislation, then it absolves you from any wrong doing. I hope that you did not use such careless action when you signed the documents to close on your house.

outofworkrose   July 27th, 2009 - 3:16 pm

BECAUSE IT IS YOUR FREEKING JOB YOU DUMB-A$$! If you don’t want to do so much reading, you need to change jobs.

Mauricio Villablanca   July 27th, 2009 - 4:33 pm

Another rat in the ship who will follow his beloved Leader. Despicable.

kmichaels   July 27th, 2009 - 4:48 pm

General common sense would tell us that a bill over a thousand pages long is TOO DAMN LONG, TOO DAMN COMPLICTATED, TOO LIKELY TO BE CORRUPT, TOO EASY TO SLIP IN PORK, etc, etc. Not having enough time to actually read a bill is a very stupid excuse not to read it. It means that you dem clowns should write smaller bills that you might be capable of reading. Practice reading “Dick And Jane” for a start then work up to more difficult books. God you dems are such morons.

dr jay   July 27th, 2009 - 5:32 pm

crooks

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   July 27th, 2009 - 7:13 pm

America…Conyers is as crooked as they come. Have you ever heard the phrase…”birds of the feather flock together”? He and his wife, Monica, are of the same mold.

She has just been convicted of wrongdoing in her position as a Detroit Councilwoman under the jailed Kwame Kilpatrick…both Democratzi…America!

And John Conyers needs to join his wife in jail…when she is sentenced in disgrace!

But they both relied on the heavy black population in Detroit to garnish votes that put them into office and leave them in office.

It is a disgrace…that blacks don’t wise up and see that their own people are making them their slaves…becoming the new plantation owners of today! It is just that the plantation is now known as the “inner city”!

joe   July 27th, 2009 - 8:57 pm

“I love the people that say read the bill.” Now you know why Detroit is Detroit. Let’s keep Obama in office so as Barack’s pastor would say: lets make the US of KKK A look like Africa. This is not going to end pretty.

RickPA   July 28th, 2009 - 10:15 am

I don’t need to read the bill. I vote the way my owners want me to vote. The insurance, drug and health care lobby gave me $$$$$ to vote for it. I don’t care what the bill says, I know how I earn my money.

jeff   July 28th, 2009 - 4:07 pm

I have a better question: What good is a Health Care Bill that is a thousand pages long and requires two days and two lawyers and you still don’t understand it in the end.
