Just who's fake, angry and divisive?

  So Sherrod Brown has a problem with the tea partiers, who he says in USA Today are"faux populists," and angry and divisive.
  Our president is certainly known for being a uniter. Yeah, that's right, so much so that he repeatedly calls the other side names, threatens to bring a gun if "they" bring a knife and has shocked even other democrats with his separatist (divisive) language.
  And fake. 
  I guess the spontaneous political eruption of thousands of patriots across the country, resulting in numerous gatherings and new organizations doesn't really compare to a union sponsored and paid for rally where the people left before everyone was done speaking, trashed the place and could barely muster a YAY when asked if they "believe."
  Oh, well, nobody cares about any of those old rallies anyway.
  Drudge has a link to the John Conyers story about losing his license because bounced a check.
  In fact, Conyers isn't the only one to have a problem with his driving record. According to The Hill, "11 out of 30 candidates for Congress" have driving record problems and "19 speeding tickets, four citations and three suspensions."
  But, heck, we could USE more folks like that in Congress. Yuck yuck!
  So Conyers says, Meh, I meant to put some dough in that account and it just escaped me. His wife, of course, is the abominable Monica Conyers, known for her petulant rants against others on Detroit City Council and her dressing down of an 8th grader who dared challenge her AND such a joke that someone daring citizen made a cartoon about her. Even John Conyers is embarrassed about her, or at least disavowed her, since he wouldn't pay for an attorney to represent her. Instead the taxpayers paid for her defense.

Top democrat Congressman John Conyers (D-MI) the chair of the House Judiciary Committee bounced a check to renew his license.
  Some have suggested that Conyers himself is questionable in his dealings, for any number of reasons. Lawdy.
  Conyers is the one, you'll recall, who complained that the bills his party had written were too long to waste time reading.
  When the lords and ladies steal from the government, lie to each other, stab each other in the back to the extent that they can't even trust each other, why would the taxpayers not trust this lovely bunch of people? Note that Lindsey Graham was involved in keeping the truth from the public. Over at The Daily Caller:
While Graham, Lieberman and Kerry struggled with how to keep the public from realizing a gas tax was in the bill, the White House leaked to Fox News that it opposed a “gas tax” in the bill supported by Graham.
  But writing rubber checks is something Conyers perhaps learned in the House as a l'enfant innocent, where he himself was one of the guilty congressmen involved in the notorious House banking scandal.  
 Remember that? That's when they got caught with their hands in the cookie jar...literally the House bank, borrowing money that they only paid back when someone outside the cloister discovered it.
  Although over 450 members were caught in the web, only 22 were "singled out" for their culpability. (Who was in charge of drawing up the ethics charges, after all.)
  Two of those House members are still serving, including Conyers, who was 9 months behind in paying his tab and had written 293 bouncy bounce checks.
  So, Sherrod Brown, what's not to like about your people?
  Oh, but you could say some of us out here are angry.
  Yep, you could say that.
