John Conyers on Reading Bills in Congress

[silentmajor]

this is a typical demy from the top right to the bottom of the stack

[STPdemon]

Fire his worthless ass, then he can have plenty of free time to visit his criminal politician wife at the prison she'll be in soon.

This is a damn joke, and not a very funny one. You know why this bastard is still in office, doing what he's told to by his bosses in the Democrat party hierarchy rather than his constituency? Because he's re-elected by the same brown-shirt union guys who simply do what they are told to do by their lodge instead of their conscience, in the same vein.

Representative government? I don't think so. This is a self-representing government.

[runawaymotor]

Wait, did he just say that? And how does "we" represent?

[zaphodchick]

Isn't reading the bills your job? What do you do in the mean time? Figure out ways to screw over America?

[Jyoyo1]

Let's see if I got this right..

You don't need to read it because you do as you are told.

Who's telling you how to vote?

Oh yeah, you are a "good party member" and do as you are told - aka Communist, fascist, Nazi etc.

Aren't you supposed to be representing your constituency?

..Perhaps he is.

WE ARE SCREWED

This is a reflection of how stupid voters are.

[Hero1957]

Who voted for this POS?

[yellgrn9]

kick this man out in 2010 before obama leaves. Kick all the socialist dems out.

[evianalmighty]

Kick this man out when Obama is kicked out.

Shame it's only a couple of phrases. You can't really make out any context. But it doesn't sound like a good thing to say. Sounds like"...read all the bills?? You know how much %@#% reading we have to do to read all the bills??"
