Conyers nick name. The man without fear.

[DanCa]

Man he will not back down from anyone. He'd be a great vp or president.

1. I love the guy. I hope that the main Democratic Party will begin

to recognize what a wise and fearless leader he is.

2. Refreshing...

It's refreshing to see a Democratic Congressman with... Courage. To know you can count on a leader to stand up when it's called for.

Alas, the Republicans have all but made Democratic Congressmen into ghosts or poltergeists--banished to the netherworld, unable to actually interact or have any effects on the real world beyond making small objects move seemingly unassisted, ghostly sounds, disembodied voices and maybe a few clever lighting effects.

Republicans do something unreasonable, often just because they can and sit back laughing to themselves when all that happens is a rustling of the papers in the room and moaning sounds from the dark corners...

Much like the students randomly selected to play the roles of prison guards in a college psychology experiment, they've become abusive of their positions and convinced of their own superiority (after all, they have the power--they've been "chosen" by a greater power). This kind of power corruption results in deliberately spiteful mistreatment of the prisoners (who, after all, must deserve the mistreatment since they're members of the subclass). If it weren't so serious, it would almost be laughable watching the adolescent antics of this group of grown men and women. The prisoners themselves began to act as prisoner act, which might explain the submissiveness we're puzzling over in their Democratic Congressional counterparts. Ominously, it should be noted though, that the real experiment had to be called off early because the abuse was becoming too serious (involving actual physical abuse/harm as well as verbal and psychological abuse). Who's going to call off this misguided experiment in Congress--what's that? No one, it's not an experiment? (as Scooby Doo would say... "Rut Ro")

4. Welcome to DU, yellowdoginGA!

5. Absolutely, Conyers is our biggest hero.

[Pryderi]

6. So true. He's also very methodical and tenacious

He's done a wonderful job documenting the criminality of Bush. The information he's gathered will come in handy when Dems control in '06

7. I call him the "hardest working guy in DC"

He does so much great work. :) Instead of being on vacation he held hearings and is doing the people's work. I adore him. :)

8. No-Con-Fear.

That sums him up quite nicely.

[dogday]

9. He has been great---The whole Black Caucus

has just been the greatest to speak up, they are not afraid of appearances...Kudos to all of them..

[EFerrari]

10. The Congressional Black Caucus

are the most true Democrats.

I would walk on hot coal for them, and I left the party after the Senate would not stand up for them in 2001.

The Congressional Black Caucus is our best hope to save the Republic.
