“rational abilities”
The irony is too rich, even for a comedy writer. Conyers, on a good day, has the brain of a dead turnip. And he’s questioning the “rational abilities” of someone demanding a return to the constitution?
This is why the Dems are the Dims.

"The facts are, many of the tea baggers that were hollering and being profane and screaming and using profanity...guess what? They are going to be beneficiaries victims [of the health care bill]."Oh, yeah? Not if we can do something about it, slimebag.
At least we have "rational abilities." which is more than I can say for Conyers and the other Dems.

does that mean he’s going to force us to have mental health evaluations?

What is Conyers’ definition of rational abilities? Not reading bills that you are passing. Not obeying the constitution. Choosing special interest over you own constituents. Yea, Conyers has real credibility when it comes to rational abilities (sarcastically).

They are going to be beneficiaries [of the health care bill].
This is of course a proven lie, but even if it were true, that still doesn't mean that I should support it. Heck, I'd also be a beneficiary if you made Bill Gates buy me a Mustang. It is not right for me to expect another American citizen to pay for something that I should be responsible for.

Idiot Conyers, in his attempt to vilify and impugn the Tea Party movement, has managed to speak the truth, though it’s probably not what he meant.
Maybe I missed something, but I don’t recall any reference to last week’s T.E.A. Parties in his quote. And “tea-baggers” (using the original use of the term) are quite angry, mainly because the government doesn’t give them full rights to do anything they want to anyone at any time in any place.
If the leaders of the movement are intelligent, they could and should turn this one right back on him and the rest of his ilk. But that’s just me...

On his website, one of the issues is ‘Reparations’.
I guess that’s next on the WH agenda...

“The facts are, many of the tea baggers that were hollering and being profane and screaming and using profanity...guess what? They are going to be beneficiaries [of the health care bill].”
I just read this sentence. I guess Conyers didn’t get the message that tea partiers (their real name) are more wealthy and educated than the general public. They most likely already have their health insurance, like it and want to keep it.
Sorry, I misspoke, everyone will be the “beneficiaries” of the health care bill once access is limited to a select few.
