John Conyers, the slowest talking man in America, is always good for a few laughs. Excuse me while I roll hysterically on the floor for a while!!!!!!

I agree with you. And I think you're suggesting that despite the need for a credible opposition party, the Democrat Party is not that credible alternative.

"In many cases these irregularities were caused by intentional misconduct and illegal behavior, much of it involving Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell, the co-chair of the Bush-Cheney campaign in Ohio," the report said.

Somebody ought to make this SOB prove that statement once and for all.

The black welfare club represented by Jackson, Kennedy, Boxer, Conyers, and the like, is partly bringing this report to the fore, I'm sure, to have something on the record to attack Blackwell with

I think Kennedy, Boxer, et al, are simply giving this report attention in order to pacify the plantation slaves.

If they try this stunt

Keep your TV set on tomorrow; they are, in fact, going to do just that.

Hey, maybe Trafficant can help him out. You can do a lot from jail and Kooks should stick together. LOL

That's why they are going after the Electoral vote in Ohio. They played the popular vote thing in 2000. Seems to me precinct workers and judges, and District Board of Elections in Ohio better watch their hides for certifying fraud. They have turned in all of those fraudulent votes without questioning them on election day.

Rush was on this this a.m. I have never heard him so incensed about so many things; and that's saying something!

I loved his parting shot though: What if we started to call Mickey Mouse, "Mickey the Pimp" and Minnie would be "Minnie the 'Ho?" I cracked up; Rush is the light of my life.

Republicans should take the Democrats up on investigating the election. The Democrats would soon stop complaining about it, after the hearings determine it was almost always the Democrats committing fraud, intimidation, voter suppression, etc.

Gee...do you think after this we'll all make up and confirm the President's judicial nominies?

If the Pubbies don't do something about this I'm changing my registration to Independent or Libertarian. I'll probably still support the party, but I'll feel better not directly being associated to it.

I have my Congressional phone list ready and portable phone charged and waiting.
Anyone know which other Congrassholes are joining in on this? I'm sure my distinguished Congressman Elijah Cummings is on the list.

Rep. John Conyers: patriot or something else?

New York
BrookesNews.Com
Tuesday 18 Feb. 2003

On January 18 Rep. John Conyers Jr., Michigan Democrat, told a placard-waving anti-war crowd: "The greatest patriots of this country are here today...The president said it'd be a cold day in Washington before this country turns against this war, but it is a cold day in Washington and here we are."

Apart from Conyers nasty insinuation people who disagree with his leftwing views about war against the genocidal Saddam are not patriotic, what can we deduce from his presence? Well, for one, Rep. does not like America and prefers the company of totalitarians to that of genuine democrats. And how do I know this? Because, as he well knows, the demonstration was organized by ANSWER which in turn takes its instructions from the WWP, a Stalinist organisation that also fronts for North Korea and Saddam Hussein. Knowing this Conyers still collaborated with them in an attempt try to subvert the Bush Administration.

It is quite interesting to learn precisely what Conyers means by a patriot. In 1979 he addressed the first national conference of the USPC (United States Peace Council) along with Romesh Chandra, a KGB agent, who also headed the WPC (World Peace Council). The USPC was a subsidiary of the WPC which in turn received 90 percent of its funding from the KGB. The organisation was established by the IDCC (International Department of the Central Committee) and the bloodstained Boris Ponomarev was its chief. All of this was an open secret that Conyers also shared. But it did not bother him.

In case anyone is naïve enough to have any doubts about Ponomarev's intentions, which means the Politburo's plans, he issued instructions in 1974 calling on Russia's allies (agents of influence and active KGB agents) within Western political parties to "neutralize" anti-communist leaders, including those in America.

There was nothing here for Conyers to object to since he never saw a communist dictatorship he never liked. In fact, Conyers was so taken with the Soviet direction that the USPC and WPC always took that he told them: "It's people like you who should be members of Congress" and "from you I can see the future of America." There you have it. Conyers idea of a democratic and progressive America was to fill Congress with KGB stooges. (Ironically, the KGB and the IDCC always held the likes of Conyers in the greatest contempt). So if well-meaning members of the January 18 demonstration thought he was playing them a compliment they really ought to think again. Unfortunately, there were still plenty in the crowd who think revolutionary justice followed by a lead injection to the back of the neck is preferable to the rule of law.

In all the years that passed Conyers became an even more ardent supporter of the WPC, an organisation that was part of a wider plan to help bring down the United States government. I can only conclude that it was this Soviet objective that attracted Conyers to the WPCs activities.

I don't believe that any senator will step forward to challenge the electors in Ohio. If they did, I'd give them credit for having guts. If they really believe that there is voter suppression they have a duty to do something about it. Since it only comes up every 4 years, I don't believe they are serious.

I caught Rush on the walkman at the gym (I know, my husband thinks I am a freak because I listen to talk radio while working out) anyway, I have never heard him so angry. I loved it.

Meanwhile Kerry is out of the country and sent this in a mass e-mail today.

Dear XXXX

No American citizen should wake up the morning after the election and worry their vote wasn't counted. No citizen should be denied at the polls if they are eligible to vote. And, as the greatest, wealthiest nation on earth, our citizens should never be forced to vote on old, unaccountable and non transparent voting machines from companies controlled by partisan activists.

Tomorrow, members of Congress will meet to certify the results of the 2004 presidential election. I will not be taking part in a formal protest of the Ohio Electors.

Despite widespread reports of irregularities, questionable practices by some election officials and instances of lawful voters being denied the right to vote, our legal teams on the ground have found no evidence that would change the outcome of the election.

But, that does not mean we should abandon our commitment to addressing those problems that happened in Ohio. We must act today to make sure they never happen again.

I urge you to join me in using this occasion to highlight our demand that Congress commit itself this year to reforming the electoral system. A Presidential election is a national federal election but we have different standards in different states for casting and counting votes. We need a national federal standard to solve the problems that occurred in the 2004 election. I will propose legislation to help achieve this.

Florida 2000 was a wake up call. But the Republicans who control Congress ignored it. Will they now ignore what happened in 2004?

There are nearly 3,000,000 of you receiving this email. We accomplished so much together during the campaign. Now let's use our power to make sure that at least one good thing comes from the voting rights problems of the 2004 election. If we want to force real action on election reform, we've got to demand that congressional leaders hold full hearings. Make sure they hear from you and help hold them accountable.

Speaker Dennis Hastert: 1-202-225-0600
Leader Bill Frist: 1-202-224-3135

And please report that you've made your call right here:
http://www.johnkerry.com/signup/electoral_reform.php

I want every vote counted because Americans have to know that the votes they stood in line for, fought for, and strived so hard to cast in an election, are counted. We must make sure there are no questions or doubts in future elections. It's critical to our democracy that we investigate and act to prevent voting irregularities and voter intimidation across the country. We can't stand still as Congressional leaders seek to sweep well-founded voter concerns under the rug.

Please join with me in calling Speaker Hastert and Leader Frist and telling them that you want action on election reform now.

A recent report from Representative John Conyers (D-Michigan) reveals very troubling questions that have not yet been answered by Ohio election officials. I commend the Democratic National Committee for its announcement this week that the DNC will be investing resources and reaching out to non-partisan academics in a long term study of Ohio voting irregularities. I am only sorry that we haven't seen the same from Ohio Secretary of State Blackwell and GOP officials.

Congress must play a positive, proactive role on this issue. That's why I will soon introduce legislation to reform our election system, ensuring transparency and accountability in our voting system and that all Americans have an opportunity to vote and have their vote counted.

Please remember to let us know that you made your call when you're done. We're hoping to ensure House and Senate leaders' offices hear our demand for action on election reform in meaningful way. Please take a moment to let us know you have made your call here: http://www.johnkerry.com/signup/electoral_reform.php

Thank you,

John Kerry

P.S. Thanks to all those who participated in our USO "phone home" campaign last week. The totals are coming in from the USO, and they are thrilled with your generosity and support for our brave men and women in uniform. We will send you totals as we get them.

The democratic party is the party that has abused blacks from the beginning. I'm amazed this isn't self-evident.

That aside, #16 and Howlin' agree that this should be shoved down their flippin' throats.

They make these lying charges because they know that they're immune. They're cowards.
