Catching up in a brief “off the road” moment with another item from the good Mr. Conyers’ blog posted yesterday.
Some months ago he promised not to let go of the Election Reform issue. As far as we can tell, he has kept that promise — without fail — each and every moment since then.
From his latest public volley yesterday:
Especially When All the Votes Were Not Counted
The mainstream media seems to be waking up to the idea that all of the post-election talk about a mandate was just that: talk. Under the understated headline, “Doubts About Mandate for Bush, GOP,” the Washington Post reports that the President’s poll numbers are plummeting, his social security privatization plan and cuts are unpopular, and Congressional Republicans are abusing their power and are, likewise, very unpopular. They conclude that maybe there was never a mandate after all. In other words, they conclude “the main question facing Bush and his party is whether they misread the November elections.”
…
The second point is the continued disregard of the most obvious explanation for these low poll numbers by the mainstream media. They wonder: how can a President, just re-elected, have such low poll numbers and hold positions on the issues that are so unpopular? Is he already a lame duck? Better questions: was he just re-elected legitimately, or was voter suppression and machine malfunction or malfeasance used to manipulate election results? In other words, maybe these polls, rather than our broken election system, better reflect the true will of the people.
On the money, as usual, Congressman.
But allow us also to include this mouth-watering notion also from his same blog item:
While we do not know if Conyers was referring to anything in particular beyond the current tanking approval ratings for Bush and Cronies, we have some early word ourselves about a coming wave (perhaps a tsunami even) which may be coming ashore soon. Even within the next 24 hours or so…
We’d recommend you keep an eye on The BRAD BLOG over that period for a few details as we’re able to release them…
WOW! That’s a cruel tease, Brad. I’m sure we’ll all be waiting with bated breath, but this had better be good to leave us in such suspense!
Hey Brad.
This is REALLY unfair!!! :O
Please provide a little hint… my head is (almost) exploding.
Thumbs up
Is it by any chance related to this:

My eyes are glued. Hope it’s a Tsunami!
Rock the boat, rock the house, rock the vote … they lied to us about "lets roll", so lets rock …
I’m getting out my surf board and I’m ready for anything!!!!!!!
A class act once again Brad!
I think all of us on this Blog should move to Congressman Conyer’s district to show our support.
Keep up the good work Brad!
c’mon Brad, we’ve waited whats the news
I hope that tsunami is going to hit the Bushites and not the rest of us…this mountain is too damn high…then again, I’ve always loved a challenge…and the way to win is to outfight and outlast the enemy…down with Bush and his henchmen…according to the polling, they didn’t win the election…that’s why the polls show him down now…he was down on November 2…he’s down now…what’s to figure out…duh!
Good for Mr. Conyers…if he’s keeps on them…with a huge PAPER TRAIL supporting his efforts…he’s going to push them so far down in their muck they won’t be able to get up again. Thank you, Mr. Conyers!
I’m really interested in what it’s about. I can’t wait to find out. Please tell us soon!! Mr. Conyers is the best!
Why Republicans Misjudged the Man-Date
4 May 2005
and sent Laura out to peddle sex jokes, leaving her with about as much dignity as a stripper on her pole. Sure, she was funny, but I just didn’t get the impression that it was her preference to be up there at all, let alone saying some of the raunchiest things ever heard from a First Lady. It might be how I’d like to be remembered if I were ever First Lady, but then, that’s also one reason I never expected to be one!
With the President’s numbers tanking and his 100 days declared pretty much a disaster, why send Laura out to do a rendition of Roseanne’s Domestic Goddess?
America is not all that conservative. America doesn’t really like George Bush.

GOD, Brad! My eyes have been WIDE open and unblinking since Nov. 2. They’re burning and watering with the strain. Conyers is "the man," but I’m losing faith that even a super-hero can effect any significant development in this rubber-room echo-chamber.
Oh, I know, gotta be a resident paranoid in every crowd. Just wanted to point out a similar situation for G.W four years ago after his first fraudulent win. For the 1st 8 months – he went on vacation! He didn’t care what the media said, what the people thought, what the oppositon (AKA, Democrats) thought or said, or wondered. Sometime, late summer when he was seriously lagging, a visitor at his ranch in Texas provided him “warning” that some terrorist thing was
going down…., a warning “dismissed” Oh, should have connected the dots everyone said.
Maybe the dots were connected, and September 11 airliners and the WTC were on that dot path. All the power he ever wanted was his from that point on, and it didn’t matter that his ratings had been sagging or people thought he was losing influence in DC.
Just read the following from The Washingtop Post from Tuesday, May 3, 2005 – entitled:
U.S. Called Unprepared For Nuclear Terrorism
“Two closely held government reports obtained by The Washington Post — one by the White House’s Homeland Security Council, the other by the Energy Department — describe in chilling detail the effects of a nuclear detonation, using the scenario of a strike on Washington. They make clear the need for split-second execution by top officials of the Department of Homeland Security if downwind communities dozens of miles away are to be saved — a level of performance that some experts say is well beyond officials’ ability now.”
“In the end, years of cleanup of 3,000 to 5,000 square miles would be needed, the reports say. They also raise the possibility of forever abandoning many radiated neighborhoods. An atomic strike on this country "would forever change the American psyche, its politics and worldview," according to the White House report.”
Yep, paranoia knows no bounds. Given the previous scenario and the widespread suspicions about what dots were really connected back in 2001…… The question might be, like which building was going to fry in New York, which city in the US is going to fry to complete the right wing take-over of America?
So, think outside the box folks, and I sure hope it’s a good Tsunami that is roaring our direction Brad!! Onward!
No shit, Gordon #14
A little paranoia is a good thing.
Adding to your scenario, remember when the *cartel moved the White House to Texas (that long vacation.) Hmmm — getting it ready for a real long-term move-in?
Yup – why else are we all so jittery?
Western White House
My son is the reserves. In officer training right now.
Damn! Time matters.
Brad and Mr Conyers et al are one of my hopes to get these aweful neocons out.
Thanks for all your time and effort.
This isn’t about Dem vs Repugs. It’s about Truth, Justice, and the American way!!
Gordon #14, Kira #15
This thing is growing. There is a report out that the military commanders have started the process of asking for premtive nuclear strike authority using some of this as a pretense (link here).
We may be entering the age of darkness …
Gordon #14 –
I’ve predicted some such in May for months. Let’s hope the Tsunami is in time…
Oh, Dredd –
Let it not be so!
Can not a day go by without a new disgust?
…Waiting patiently for the tsunami (but that does not make me a lemming 🙂
oh jeez…I was all ready to say that #13 had inadvertently hit the nail on the head…and that we have discovered bush’s famous ‘MAN-DATE: Jeff Gannon…but my lame attempt at humor pales after Dredd’s awful link #17…not that it’s a surprise. I wonder what our poor troops would think of that.
oh, my country!
Cry, my beloved country
Well the lame NY Bomb wont stop anything, looks like they needed a new story for todays smokescreen, but dont want to make too big a deal of it now. :blush:
