Watch this:
Seems pretty clear to me. Rep. Conyers puts it like this starting in response to a question about Pelosi:
John Conyers: How could she stop, well, she could stop me because actually it goes through a special committee on the House, but, Pelosi can't stop me from anything, really.
Rob Kall: Really?
John Conyers: Yeah.
Rob Kall: So it's you stopping you, nobody else?
John Conyers: Well I don't know whose ever stopped me before, I don't know why Pelosi's going to stop me now.
Rob Kall: You know people say it's too late, and it's not too late for Bush to start another war, appoint another Supreme Court justice if something happened, and here we are stuck with him during the worst economic crisis...
John Conyers: Let me just say this to you because there may be some other people that want to talk to me. Let me tell you this. If we started an impeachment hearing that didn't succeed, guess what would happen. They would say that he's being demonized, that Conyers always, they campaigned against the Democrats taking over last year, wait a minute, they campaigned against the Democrats saying two things, Rangel will raise taxes if the Democrats ran and Conyers would impeach Bush. Now to come in on January 28th after having been impressed by your logic, Rob, and saying we're going after both these guys at once and if it doesn't, and I really smile at this one, and if it doesn't work at least you did it and taught them a lesson. Well they would take that and that would bleed right into the election of 2008 sure as we're standing here.
Rob Kall: You've got in your committee stuck there held back Dennis Kucinich's bill.
John Conyers: So what?
Rob Kall: I asked Dennis about it and you know what he said, I asked him about people not acting because they're afraid of the reaction of the Republicans, and his reply was 'that's no way to run a democracy'.
John Conyers: Well I see Dennis Kucinich way more than you and I know a lot about what he's doing and why he's doing it. I know about my dear friend Bob Wexler from Florida and that's their right and their authority, but I'm the chairman.
Uh...huh....Chairman of just exactly what you miserable spineless polecat? Seems like all you got pal is a real inflated opinion of yourself. Especially in light of this:
John Conyers: Let me just say this to you because there may be some other people that want to talk to me. Let me tell you this. If we started an impeachment hearing that didn't succeed, guess what would happen. They would say that he's being demonized, that Conyers always, they campaigned against the Democrats taking over last year, wait a minute, they campaigned against the Democrats saying two things, Rangel will raise taxes if the Democrats ran and Conyers would impeach Bush. Now to come in on January 28th after having been impressed by your logic, Rob, and saying we're going after both these guys at once and if it doesn't, and I really smile at this one, and if it doesn't work at least you did it and taught them a lesson. Well they would take that and that would bleed right into the election of 2008 sure as we're standing here.
Lemme see here....'..bleed into the election of 2008 just as sure as we are standing here.' I think that's what you call yer smoking gun. Mr. Chairman here is so woefully out of touch with the citizenry that he doesn't even realize a case could be made that he and his gang of clowns, that's the Dead Loser Caucus, might pick up more seats if they impeached Herr Decider which given the evidence and the rule of law would seem to demand. He seems blissfully unaware that a real big reason he's fucking Chairman is folks voted the Democrats a majority specifically to put the clamps on Boosh's illegal activity in the White House. Clueless doesn't give the full flavor of this arrogant assclown. Okay, so his pollster don't know shit, or Conyers doesn't talk to him, not something I want to fight over.
But the simple fact is that Mr. Chairman is abdicating his constitutional duty to uphold the rule of law because he's afraid.
No, he's not afraid of being shot, blown-up, maimed or driven mad like our troops whom he has allowed Herr Decider to feed into the MeatGrinder like so many cattle.
No, he's afraid of the Republican Party and the Republican Smear Machine.
He's afraid he wont' get re-elected because they'll say bad things about him.
As far as I'm concerned, his moving on to 'private practice', would be a real service to the country. This arrogant asshole doesn't represent me or my values.
I say get rid of him. And no, I don't want to hear any arguments about 'our majority..', 'he's been a great Rep...' or 'He's a been a real progressive guy for xyz decades....'
I don't give a fuck. He's abdicated his responsibility to uphold the rule of law given him by the people of the United States. He's admitted as much on tape. He's totally unfit to be a part of any Democratic government I am willing to live under.
GET. RID. OF. HIM.
