Reply #12: The language that lawmakers use is not the language nonlawmakers can use [View All]

[Laughing Mirror]

If they want to do their job effectively, Conyers, the lawmaker, has stated this very clearly.

He's too subtle for casual listeners. He speaks the language of the lawmaker only the surface. But if you listen carefully to his soft elegant voice, you will hear that Conyers is, like Nadler, one of the most outspoken of the soft-spoken representatives we have. He is a master at understatement. What he actually says is not even on the page. Look in the margins.

Here's an example. Just look at his response in the Salon interview to the question: Is he surprised that no Republican has publically said they support his efforts? "No, not really. If you had a majority leader like theirs, you'd probably think twice about it yourself.

Do you understand what he's saying? He's saying that if you're a Republican who goes against the nomenclature and Mr. Delay you might as well kiss your career, and maybe your life, goodbye.
