Two thoughts on my mind:

1: How the heck did we get idiots like Conyers in Congress?

2: For all the Freepers out there who hate the President for not being conservative enough, I find that looking at the alternative (Faithfully brought to us by our courageous correspondent; thanks PJ!) tends to make me hit my knees and thank God for the President. The DUmmies do tend to keep things in perspective. The one thing they're good for, besides a laugh!

"Minority majority district" gerrymandering.

Well he's from Detroit, a city with 9,000 abandoned houses and people exhuming their dead relatives for burial elsewhere. Obviously whoever is left is too stupid to leave also.

"1: How the heck did we get idiots like Conyers in Congress?"

The same way we get idiots like Cynthia McKinney in Congress. Conyers is from Detroit. McKinney is in Dekalb County in the Atlanta area. Their constituencies keep voting them in because the Democrats have duped African-Americans into believing that only DemocRAT candidates will pay attention to their needs. The truth is that DemocRATs only USE black voters (and black candidates) as a means to an end...but do you ever see them in positions of REAL power? Former Atlanta Mayor Maynard Jackson really wanted to be the Chairman of the DNC. He probably would have been pretty effective, too. But did the RATs put him in that spot? Nope. Instead, it went to the Clintons' hand-picked stooge, Terry McAwful.
