Karl Rove has 5 days. -John Conyers.

[Blarch]

This threat was over 2 months ago.

This letter is to formally notify you that we must insist on compliance with the subpoena and urge you to reconsider your position... . Please let us know no later than Tuesday July, 15 if Mr. Rove will comply with the subpoena, or we will proceed to consider all other appropriate recourse," wrote Conyers

Yet here we are. Hope ? ...It's hard to have hope when the Democrats are covering up for war criminals.

Any thoughts on why Conyers would do this ?

[Naturyl]

1. The sign photo conveys my thoughts pretty well. (n/t)

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. That sums it up pretty well

[valerief]

2. What was the threat? 5 days or they'll send him another letter?

Are the neoncons the only ones who can get their hands on anthrax, fer cryin' out loud?

[newtothegame]

26. Maybe the UN can take Congress's place

They're great at sending stern letters in place of real action...:)

[shadowknows69]

3. Wasn't the five days up like two months ago already

Show us something Conyers or else you're just a traitor enabler like Pelosi.

[Lifetimedem]

4. They need to borrow Hillarys

[sasquatch]

5. I will volunteer my time to bring that bastard in

[Blarch]

6. who ?

Conyers or Rove ?

Maybe they can be cell mates.

[sasquatch]

7. Rove of course

[TwilightZone]

10. You cannot seriously be suggesting that John Conyers belongs in jail.

Sometimes, this place is so ridiculous that it is simply unbelievable.

[Blarch]

13. I am not so sure about jail.

But it is clear he is violating his oath of office...

"I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.'

[BigAnth]

8. I don't like the sentiment on the sign at all.

What are we saying to the world here "Hey, sure, we're spineless, but at least we're not evil!"

It IS possible to have a backbone and stand up for what's right without being evil. I think that Democrats are sometimes are all to agreeable to take on the inappropriate labels thrust on us by the freepers and MSM. Oh sure, we're wishy-washy, spineless, tax-and-spend liberals, but it doesn't make us bad guys, does it?

Come on people, lets show some backbone and stop acting like we don't really deserve to be running this country!

[Naturyl]

12. I agree, but tell it to Dems in power.

Besides Kucinich, they are the ones who appear to lack a spine, not us.

I'll always vote for Democrats if they are the only viable choice. But the lameness of this party (in power) is getting tiresome. We need the kind of change the Green Party wants, and that's why it's very unfortunate that the Green Party is currently nothing but a distraction.

We need a Green wing of the Democratic party to make it party worth believing in.

[Orsino]

16. I would love to have another way to frame it...

...but our few fightin' Dems in Congress are far outnumbered by the milquetoasts.

[brettdale]

9. Conyers has bene quiet lately

Perhaps he is going to be part of the October surprise.

[fla nocount]

20. He's been muzzled by threats to his crooked wife. n/t

[racaulk]

11. Blah blah blah...

Any more, this is just barking from a dog that has been rendered toothless by the neocons. This was always just noise and nothing will come of it. Sorry if I'm jaded, but I have given up hope that Rove (or any of the other war criminals) will be held accountable in any court of law.

And I love the pic on the right. That pretty much sums up the way I feel right about now...

[Cleita]

14. Yeah, keep beating your drum with those feathers, John.

:eyes:

[Myrina]

15. Yeah no shit, they know where to find Kkkarl ...

... he's a Faux commentator. Head over to Billo's place and arrest the turd already!!!

:mad:

[madamesilverspurs]

17. Um, from JULY?????

[cui bono]

18. All other options, including whining that the Republicans are mean then going to their room

to cry in their pillows.

Stop saying shit and fucking DO SOMETHING already ffs.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

21. If as much energy were invested in taking down the neocons as is spent beating up Democrats,...

,...the Democrats may actually gain the power of the masses to pursue justice.

The Republicans/conservatives/corporacrats always have an edge, politically, because,...they play to win. Meanwhile, too many members of the Democratic or Independent parties fail to play as a team, readily attacking one another no matter what the outcome.

The neocons have called us "scattered cats" because,...that's exactly how we behave EVEN WHEN ALL OUR COMMON INTERESTS ARE AT STAKE. It's kind of funny, too, because as we condemn die-hard Republicans for denying reality,...we are just as guilty for denying how our behavior shapes our reality.

Hmph!

[Gregorian]

22. Every time they say this, I have to post THIS-

I apologize for being so cynical.

23. Well it would be sweet to keep him in isolation until the end of the election.

Send in the Sgt At Arms

-Hoot

[DumptyHumpty]

24. Send his fat ass to prison!

Bugger him, if anybody is that desperate.

[bertman]

25. SPINELESS. Bullseye!! That's right on the money. We'd BETTER be reminding each other about how

weak and timid our party has become or it's just going to get worse.

If you're not going to back up what you say--especially if you're a Congressional Committee chairman--then shut the fuck up. You undermine all Dems when you do that shit.

I'm sure there's some absolutely crucially important reason that a Democratic Committee chairman has backed off yet another threat to hold the lawbreakers accountable.

Hillary, would you please give the Honorable Mr. Conyers a call, he needs to borrow yours.
