. The Media loves Charlie Rangel. FOX (Brett Baier's show) had a roundtable full of admirers. They declared Rangel is "a man of Honor." They claimed his sins are minor and they are far foreshadowed by the fact he is a great man. They said the public won't really care about the minor infractions of a one Charles Rangel. Is this how low we've stooped? Where a man that writes Tax Laws that burden regular Americans doesn't have to live by his own laws? Willfully ignores the rules of the little people? Rangel is a political fatcat of a great magnitude, he created his Rangel Center, had a picture commissioned of himself for about $70,000, and how about those legal bills. Those costly legal bills in fighting this off for so long? They have, and continue to be, paid for by the Unions and Lobbyists! http://tinyurl.com/2ddufx9 Does anyone remember the Senator from Alaska - Ted Stevens? The media had an entirely different take on him. He had to go because they said he was "a symbol" of political corruption, of high deficits, of pork, of old-boy politics. Wonder why none of that applies with "the Honorable" Rangel? And with all the many journalists covering the President, including the women of the View, isn't it amazing none of them has asked the President about Charles Rangel? None of them have asked him if he should step down? Rangel isn't a symbol of political corruption because they haven't held him up to be one - simple. . |

. Oh, Boy.. he did it for us. Pass me a kleenex. "I'm prepared to prove that the only thing I've ever had in my 50 years of public service is service," Rangel told reporters Thursday night. "That's what I've done and if I've been overzealous providing that service, I can't make an excuse for the serious violations." What a guy! . |

Rush's closing statement today is white and black should be treated equally and Rangel should be treated as a man with no color, I am paraphrasing, but that was the message. Rangel should not only be thrown out of congress, he should be charged criminally. I heard to republicans today, that say Rangel should stay in congress, because of his long service, service to what I ask? This is why republicans lose everytime, they have the backbone of a worm. |

IMHO, Charlie Rangel should be facing criminal charges and if found guilty, should be in jail. That is what would happen to any one on this board, if we had of done what he did. This goes right back to the elites that run this country, do as I say, not as I do. |

Rangel should be shown no mercy. For years he has been one of the biggest aholes in the democrat party. I think he was even one of the congressmen that took part in the fake house hearings the minority held in the house basement. If I made a list of like 10 congressmen that I would like to see not in congress anymore he would surely be on it. I always thought the only way he would ever not be in congress was to be dead. I sure hope the republicans on the ethics committee think about how republicans have been treated in the past by the democrats and their accomplices in the media and show this turd no mercy.

The republicans, as usual, don't want him punished. I heard two republicans, one was Peter King of NY, he didn't support Rangel, but didn't think he should be expelled, even if found guilty. These are the biggest compromisers I have ever seen. Had Rangel been a republican, he would have been drumbed out already. When are the republicans going to stand up, they are a bunch of whimps in my opinion. They should rename the republican party the Whimpy Party. |

I could hardly believe the round table comments about Rangel on Bret Baier's evening news. Bret was the only one who seemed exercised over Rangel's criminal behavior. If any of us had failed to declare income to the IRS (and for as long as Rangel did) you can bet your bottom dollar that we would be donning prison orange and be spending time in lock-up. He was on the committee that oversaw the writing of the tax code. Sorry, how can he say that his failure to follow the law was an oversight; the result of careless accounting because of how busy he has been; or that he was unaware of the law. EXCUSE ME!!!!! The one thing that Nancy Pelosi was right about is that there is a swamp of corruption in the Congress. It is not solely a Republican or Democrat swamp. Rather it is both parties, hip deep in the muck with little desire (except when it suits their immediate poliitical interest) to even attempt at a little draining. There will be some sort of deal with Rangel because there will be no real will to bring down a black politician who has lots of friends on the Hill. You can bet that Rangel's Republican counterpart, were he facing the same charges, would not be treated the same. |
