Congressman John Conyers: "Why Read The Bill?"

[glinnz05]

.......DUH WUT.....

[Greatgreg100]

This what happens when you have uneducated Affirmative Action Negros in our government. He makes over $170,000.00 a year and he signs a bill without reading it. This POS should be impeached and executed for stealing the hard working taxpayers money.

[ngccorp]

Unbelievable! How do you vote "Aye" for a bill that you never read, and admit you wouldn't understand. Hopefully they don't let this guy sign contracts for the USA!

[deadmanrunnin]

What good is you're vote on a bill you don't understand then? If you can't read and understand the bills you're elected to vote on, (aka, do your job) then you need to be replaced with someone who can.

[DeathPanelChairman]

Term Limits.

[mozellagi]

That's the point moron.. you placate Unions, Insurance Companies and screw everyone else... you all need to GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dmreeoogdaq]

...and here we have the arrogant left, who shoved through a health care "reform" bill that the American people did NOT want without reading it or really knowing (or caring) what was in it. Thank you SO MUCH to the brainwashed masses who voted this Congress in in 2006 and for the current President. You may have just pulled the trigger of the gun that was already at America's head.

[dgate007]

Somebody kill this goddamn nigger now!

[bestwin1]

Here is an idea: Write a bill that you can read and don't need a lawyer to explain what it means.

[thorspinky]

Why read the bill? maybe because it's your god damn job? Don't want to do your job then get a new one.

[JoeyRapps1]

I guess it's just senility? Who could be THAT stupid and seriously say such a thing into a live microphone?!

[DetroitIsCrust]

Isn't the answer simple then?

If you don't have time to read something and interpret it...you fucking vote NO.

[djsting]

And some people in Michigan wonder why their state is in shambles. Keep electing men like this. It seems to be working so far :-/

[dpchrist26]

READ DA BILL! its your job and if it takes a month to read it you can pass the bill the following month or so. Whats the fucking rush?

As computers go if you rush a software program or computer game before its done. Then rush shiping it out to consumers your going to have alot of pissed people and you will loose clients because you dint do it right the first time. If you need more stinking lawyers get more to help. I want some of what hes smoking! READ DA BILL! That is why we are in this mess.

[john51880]

Maybe Mr. conyers would be in favor of only bringing bills to commity that are 200 pages or less? No this bill was 1000 pages plus by design! Worse of all this moron could less what you think of his actions. Vote him out!

[willdav713]

Hopefully he will die in office (like Murtha, and Kennedy) he's old you know. I can't believe I was born on the same Month and day of that jerk conyers. Conyers is one of the few people who I would call a nigger only because he has tried to take to civil rights away from people.

[evrawk]

If it's 1,000 pages long and takes two days and two lawyers to understand the bill then the correct vote is NO. If you can't understand the bill how can you possibly vote for it?

[chiman1000]

How are these people even elected? He just said he does not even read what he votes for?

[rockriver256]

conyers is a typical POLITICAL CORRECTNESS,read what its all about more WELFARE RAT shit gimme i'm is suppressed,gimme is needs my welfares.......stand upright and be a MAN conyers.

[cool79606]

what a dumb nigger

[KMAAAFWK]

He obviously was educated in the public school system.

[KMAAAFWK]

This guy needs to go! What a joke!

[mysterycycle]

So, is he saying "Make the bill shorter, clearer, and allow us more time to read it"? Or is he saying "It's long and has a lot of words and it would suck to do all that reading! Can't you just vote it through so I can go back to eating my expensive dinner?" One position I can respect, while the other is despicable.

[daybrad]

Read da Bill

[cartmanfan0316]

Question for you Democrats:

Do you guys agree with Conyers?

[apache341]

Are you kidding me...I'm from Atlanta. The whole city is like this moron

[lothaan]

Now here is a great example of a NIGGER. Wonder if he got pushed trough law school like so many others because of the color of their skin they passed the courses they took. And you know Im not making this up. Most of you have witnessed this. Be honest now, no lieing.

[CentrlFlagrl]

What an embarrassment! Is this what you call legislation?

Mr. Conyers, if you don't see the reason for reading the bill then why should your constituents see any reason in electing you? Get a clue! It's your JOB!

Geez, we could let my 6 year old grandson cast your vote! Unacceptable & irresponsible!

The hypocrisy of even having town hall meetings when you don't know the info in the bill is stunning & wide spread. Just a bunch of nonproductive spin. Hey! Tell us anything!

[apache341]

And this moron is the chairman of a comity that represents the American people...thats what diversity has gotten this country. His wife is under indictment for corruption charges..can you believe that.

[jodale1972]

What happened to the promise of transparency by this administration? Senator Roberts proposed posting bills online for 72 hours prior to voting on said bill. Why is this not being pushed through both houses and signed by the President. Doesn't everyone want transparency? They do work for us after all.

[petrafied77]

if you need a lawyer to tell you what the bill means, then you OBVIOUSLY shouldnt be making laws.

That's just common sense, isnt it?

[Ithacastudent]

This is a national outrage when leading Democrats can't even read or understand what they are passing.

[DEOutlaw12]

FYI, the stimulis bill. Ya, not writen or read by the white house. Written by the apollo alliance.

[RonaldeRobinson]

Th Republicans were bad, but the Democrat Congress makes them look like the Founding Fathers! Who put this guy in charge of a key committee?

[needhlp20]

There are plenty of people qualified for the job...just resign if you aren't. No bill should be voted for if it is not understood puppet.

[OoohLaLaLamour]

ugh, shiftless negro.

"Why I got to READ dis damn thang? Das RACIST!"

[kevin13laird]

This guy should be fired by Michigan. I hope whoever runs against him plays this until Michigan's ears bleed.

[drummer703]

Someone obviously took the time to WRITE it. Why can't you take the time to READ it?

[TexasWaterSnake]

Well, gee, John, if you can't read the damn bill you should just VOTE AGAINST IT!!!

We do not need anymore legal gobbledygook ramrodded through Congress!!!

Our country is already messed up enough as it is with all these ignorant lawyers/liars voting on all kinds of legislative BS without bothering to read what they're voting on!

Read the bills, Congess! It's your damn job!

[johnhenryhohandle]

AMEN!

[willdav713]

and they expect us to fully cooperate with the American Community Survey, and Census 2010.

[TheUltraworld]

Anyine who runs against this guy in the future will just show this clip, promise to read & understand all the bills he or she works on to promote meaningfull changes & win the election. This guy's career is over.

[evrawk]

If only the voters (or at least 51% of them) were that smart. Remember they did vote for him in the first place.

[donukrainec]

@TheUltraworld

I would be that candidate

[TheUltraworld]

@donukrainec Good luck to you. Really.

[temply123]

Give him a break. What if he can't read.

[willdav713]

Then call Barbara Bush and have her teach Mr. Conyers how to read. I wonder if they are any education bills out there waiting for Mr. Conyers to READ and SIGN? "Reading it's fundamental"

[Standup091]

Oh Boy,

Democrats you hit the Jack Pot with this yahoo. I just heard this guy smear Palin being in the Rep. party. This guy should be riped out of his position. However, the Democrats seem to find his leadership in Michigan Ok. This guy is "fishy" I want to go to his Town Hall meeting. Better than Sat. night Live.

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

i will slap this shit out of this guy.

[lothaan]

This is what you get when you dont do your homework and vote in an idiot like this guy. That is how that clown got in the White House, people voted for him without doing their homework. I have more respect for the bleeding hearts liberals that voted for the clown in the white house. They knew whom/what they were voting for, its the idiots that believed his lies and voted for him that I detest.

[Hillsajoke08]

He probably doesn't know how to read. I don't think that is a requirement to vote or get elected.

[ConcernedAmericans]

What a pathetic excuse for a leader! Reading the bills is your job ya lazy buffoon.

[USARIP1]

OMG- I bet he read everything he needed to when he was looking to get elected, now he doesnt have the time. We need to get rid of these lazy a** politicians.

[libertarian1951]

My God! If he had two lawyers, that would make a total of three ..... John Conyers IS A LAWYER!!! What is with these people? How can you not think that if his brain were gunpowder, he couldn't blow his nose! Send him to the retirement home.

[GThomason]

WHAT AN IDIOT! They've been doing this all along. No wonder CONGRESS has passed this myriad of unconstitutional laws. I hope people will retaliate big time next time they vote!

[crx691]

It's not just him, it's the ENTIRE UNITED STATES CONGRESS. Both parties, both chambers.

[Hemlat]

You who voted him into office take note of this! Kick him to the curb the 1st chance you get. He and all of his cronies who rubberstamp anything that comes across their desk.

[mcaz22]

DISGRACE!!!!!
