Conyers asked.

BECAUSE Democrats LIKE CONYERS ARE SO GUTLESS!

IF Conyers Wants Obama to move Left, Conyers Must Push Obama To The Left.
There is no other way, and Conyers whining won't get it done.

Conyers own performance as a Liberal and Progressive appears to be mostly talk and little action.

In spite of tremendous support for Impeachment of Bush and Cheney from the netroots,

Conyers dithered and delayed for seven years
and refused to have Impeachment debated or voted on by His House Judiciary Committee, and

WHEN activists gave him a Huge National Petition Supporting Impeachment
( over 1.1 Million Signatures)

CONYERS HAD THOSE DELIVERING IT ARRESTED…
AND IGNORED THE PETITION.

Conyers has never mentioned the petition.

IMPEACHMENT Was Blocked BY CONYERS For Seven Years! By CONYERS!

Most of over 34,000 US Soldiers would still be alive and un-maimed if Conyers had bothered to Hold Impeachment Hearings on the Bush/Cheney Iraq WMD Lies.

If Conyers is serious about his concern that Obama is becoming Conservative
Conyers has only Conyers To Blame.

With Gutless House Democrats, Obama can avoid all the hard issues.

Bush, Cheney and their Torture Advocating appointee Lawyers obviously violated US Federal Laws against Torture and Conyers knows it. SEE THE LAW http://tinyurl.com/besdd3

Conyers is a lawyer, Obama is a Constitutional Lawyer, Bush's Torture Advocates were lawyers
and nothing is done about Torture! Are they all working together? FOR TORTURE?

IS IT TOO MUCH TO HOPE That Conyers' performance might improve.
Time for Conyers to put up or shut up.

If you do nothing else for your Country today,

SIGN THE PETITION To Prosecute Them For Torture
AT ANGRYVOTERS dot ORG

http://ANGRYVOTERS.ORG

Over 250,000 have signed
Join them and call yourself a Patriot

Politicians who Refuse to Enforce the Federal Law on Torture
and Refuse to Protect Our Constitutional Rights,
WILL NEVER
Get You Single Payer Health Care.

They Haven't The Courage.

What with them defending Obama's refusal to even consider any means of dealing with the banking crises, other than throwing more money at them than even the Pentagon could dream of, or his refusal to see that what's really a danger to America's troops is him NOT dealing forthrightly with those who authorized the torture of men, women and children; it's like a visit to some hard core, Bush-can-do-no-wrong, Rethuglican blog in 2004. Absofrigginlutely spot-on!

Until liberals stop being ga ga and start blasting Mr conservative ass kisser he's just going to keep drifting right . I smelled a rat when he insisted on that little puke geithner then added insult to injury with Summers , his picks have been worse than abysmal . Have you seen the other corporate flunkys he's putting in treasury , my god . I am very nervous about this supreme court pick also as we know how he hates to offend conservatives , I'm afraid we may have been had and I would love to start rubbing his nose in it . jonraymond , crudely put but deadly accurate .
