How about this for a jaw dropper?

Boy, talk about unintended consequences!

As a result of redistricting, and a noticeable drop of constituents on the public dole in his new district, a venerable member of Michigan's Congressional Delegation will be looking for new digs.

And as a result, guess who is waiting in the wings?

With Michigan's population loss and subsequently redrawn districts thoroughly reported here by Conservative First, someone's got to go. That someone also happened to have a "-d" attached to their name.

According to Fox 2 Detroit, as a result of redistricting, 14th District Congressman John Conyers has decided to pack his bags and move into his neighbor's district, 13th District Representative Hansen Clarke, to <strike>maintain the station in life he has become accustomed to</strike> continue to represent his constituents in a manner that they have become familiar with for almost 40 years.

So, what can we expect from <strike>DSA</strike> Democratic Rep. Conyers?

Being a good neighbor?

Whoops, bad example. How about here?

Supporting Detroit Public Schools?

Displaying the responsible behavior of his district?

With a man like that doing such a fine job of representing his community, I can see why his constituents constantly reelect him. (Ironically, this is a head-to-head that I supported, albeit in a different fashion, for some time now).

But if the good congressman is leaving the 14th district, who will democrats have to vote for next year?

How about perennial democratic gadfly Geoffrey Fieger.

Yes, that's right True Believers, Geoff Fieger is exploring running for US Congress.

My predictions for 2012: There will be one less democrat from Michigan in Congress.

We will also see less commercials like these on local TV.

Hmmmmm? Maybe this isn't such a bad thing after all.

Watching politicians eat their young is (metaphorically) a great spectator sport.

You'd think that Mr. Conyers would figure out sooner or later that it is his job as an elder statesman to nurture young members of his party in their careers and to assist them in achieving higher office.

Not yet. Maybe when he turns 90.

And then there is this? (none / 0) (#2)

John Conyers reported to Congress his net worth in 2004 was $1501.00

In 2008 his net worth was $7500.00.

In 2009 his net worth was $0.

How does this man make $174K a year claim such a lie? And his wife was making upwards of $80k a year during some of that time? He is leasing a $50K vehicle thru his house expense account?!?

Interesting read!

If the Looter Class inhabitants in said District haven't figured out Conyers brand of Communism has been keeping 'em on the plantation during his 46 years of suckling the gummint teat, they never will. Fug 'em. They deserve the gummint they get.
