So tell me about John Conyers --
I heard Randi Rhodes talking about him today essentially saying that she thinks it's possible he's being pressured that he might lose his position, if he didn't ______ and that's what I didn't get.

What's up?

Thanks.

2. It's nothing more than an internet rumor
that the right wing is trying to push. The guest on Randi's show who said that is a republican

Some want to believe that this republican is one of the "good ones"

8. She was repeating what she heard from a repuke
That she agrees with it does nothing to demonstrate the rumors truth (which, as far as I can tell, has no factual basis to support it)

9. I don't know what the rumors are - or what she was referencing. I didn't make
Edited on Wed Nov-07-07 08:53 PM by gateley
that clear in my OP. What I want to know is what they're talking about. Could you enlighten me on that?

I'll edit to ask/add -- could it be a vote they're referring to?

11. If that's true, he should call her on it
I'm tired of that c*nt saying impeachment is "off the table". That isn't her choice to make. It's a procedure that's provided for in the CONSTITUTION. It can never be off the table!
