Pelosi calls on Conyers to resign . um... what about Russia installed Dear Leader?

[blimablam]

Why hasnt she come out and asked him to resign?

There are a helluva lot more victims and just as credible accusations.

1. Speaker Ryan on rep. Conyers: "Yes, I think he should resign." (C-SPAN)

Will Ryan call for Rep Barton to resign over his masturbating videos? Probably not, right?

[blimablam]

4. isnt the Rep Barton one a case of consenting adults? I havent followed it so I dont know

the allegations there.

8. It's a case of a perverted congressman who sends out masturbating videos to his

random lovers. How many other members of Congress have masturbating videos on the Internet?

2. What about...

[Horse with no Name]

3. I understand leading by example

and it used to work.
In this political climate though....you are sacrificing your bad for their worse and they will not reciprocate.
I just don't believe anyone should step down until they show good faith and get rid of the rapist in the WH and refuse to seat their pedophile from Alabama.
Then and only then will I agree to asking our bad apples to step aside.
For the record....I believe the attacks on Franken are coordinated hit jobs. I don't believe them.

10. I see no point in call for the resignation of a Democratic

senator without at the same time calling for the resignation of the occupant of the Oval Office, Donald Trump.

12. Afraid you are correct.

[delisen]

5. You should ask her.

[blimablam]

6. LOL.. if I (we) had any real power over these people I (we) would.

[delisen]

9. Surely it is worth a phone call or a letter?

[blimablam]

14. does that really work any more? It goes to a representative then into the circular file system

or you get a canned response from a lackey.

[LexVegas]

7. You do agree that Conyers should resign?

[angstlessk]

13. He IS resigning. He is not running again.

I am not sure if representatives are appointed by the governor if a vacancy occurs, but I sure don't want rick snyder deciding who would replace Conyers!

[bathroommonkey76]

15. Don't worry

Scott isn't allowed to fill a vacancy from the House of Representatives - but if it were the Senate he could appoint a RWNJ.

U.S. House of Representative vacancies are always filled an election (either a regular election or a special election). See Article II Section 2 of the United States Constitution:

When vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies.

16. Thanks! Did not know which one could be appointed.

One thing (of about a gazillion) I won't worry about.

[triron]

11. Dems are wimpy sometimes it seems.

Yes I agree with you 110%.
