You are right...the responsibility lies with Kerry..
Rep. Conyers cannot fight this battle on his own. He needs a Senator to stand up with him and none of them seem willing to do so. Without Kerry coming to the front, (instead of just token gestures behind the scenes) Democracy IS going to die and as far as I am concerned...Kerry will have allowed it to happen!

1. Kerry should verse himself VERY WELL on this subject, and then be the guy.
John Kerry would be one muthafuggin hero if he did that.

He would go down in history that day.

But I don't expect that will happen--don't think he's going to put himself out there like that.

2. It's a RELAY RACE: Conyers passes the baton to Kerry...
and Kerry/Edwards sprint to the finish line, past the middle-aged piece of shit Bushitler and the crappy old piece of shit Chicanery.

End of Story.

4. Absolutely. JK has to let things develop a little further or he'll suffer
irreparable harm and be completely destroyed politically. How would he rule as leader of the free world effectively if he threw himself on the grenade prematurely? Others are joining in now and we're getting a groundswell.

5. "Groundswell?"
Like in the Soviet Union? ... Pass me the Vodka.
Like in Vietnam? ... Pass me a prosthesis.
Like in Iraq? ... Pass me a body-bag.
Like in the USA? ... Pass me Nascar, Rush Limbaugh, or a partial birth abortion.

Maybe the groundswell is named Scott Peterson?

6. I really hope you are correct on that!
It all seems so overwhelming that it is hard to imagine all of this coming to light by early January, though. I would guess it will take six months to a year to prove everything.
But it's true, in any case, that he can't lose credibility and still be an effective member of the Senate. So he needs to be cautious for both reasons--to be president or senator.

7. Conyers????
John Kerry's not supporting this! I think he probably knows the outcome and doesn't want it all over the media again. Conyers wasn't all that inspiring on KO!!!! Know what I mean? From the scuttlebut I hear, alt of people think he's whack! They aren't taking very seriously. He can't get too much farther!

8. Some people say that, do they?
Some people say an awful lot. That doesn't make it true.
