Rep. Conyers

Representative John Conyers (D-MI) is an embarrassment to our state. He was recently heard stating the unimportance of reading the thousand-page health care overhaul bill currently before Congress, and even his own committee. He didn't feel like Congressmen shouldn't read the bill, because, "what's the point" if you don't have two days to read the bill, and a team of lawyers to understand it. First of all, nearly all of his fellow members of Congress are lawyers, so let's be real. I am sure Conyers could get together for a reading party with his lawyer friends. Second of all, Conyers is taking a month long vacation as we speak, and he cannot find two days to read possibly the most radical bill ever introduced in American society. It's embarrassing and juvenile. The repercussions of this mentality of laziness and entitlement will be devastating not only to many families, but to our very Republic. Congress is not only supposed to be a watchdog of the other 2 branches, but of their fellow members. If we do not watch what they put in their bills, and they do not as well, we are looking at corruption far worse then Dodd allowing the AIG bonuses to fo through with taxpayer money.
