  • Poor Charlie. He did nothing wrong that he knows of. It was just all an honest mistake. He is certainly not a thief or a crook or a dishonest politician and those who support him deserve him. What a great guy he is.

  • Rangel and five other Democratic members of the House enjoyed a trip to the Caribbean sponsored in part by Citigroup in Nov after Congress had approved the $700 bailout for financial firms (including Citigroup).

    Corporate sponsorship of such an event was banned by House rules adopted on March 1, 2007, in response to the (lobbyist Jack) Abramoff scandal

    Joining Rangel on that trip were Payne of NJ, Jackson-Lee of TX, Kilpatrick of MI, Thompson of MS.

    Hope this kind of CHANGE goes away!

  • As I life long Democrat, I am voting for a relatively unknown third party candidate by the name of Craig Schley.

    Rangel has been pilfering the community for years.

    You will probably be re-elected but not with my vote.

    It is time for you to go.

  • what a Fool a Fool

    Pelosi doesnt have the nuts to force him to step down

  • He should be forced to resign without a pension, double standard back stabbing prick!

    I bet you if is was a White Republican, congress would be calling for the death penalty

    What a load of shit this guy is

  • What sincerity !!!!!!!!!!! NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • and he has the audacity to call Palin disabled

    he can't even add 2+2

    what an idiot

    I think he went to the Robert Mugabe school of Economics

  • He doesn't pay his taxes, Biden would say he is unpatriotic, logically that is...

    No doubt Biden won't be consistent...

  • This is the slime we send to Washington.

  • Fuck Rangel!

    He not only writes tax code but also oversees the budget, now admits his own tax records are so fucked, he's had to bring in a forensic accountant to find out what he owes on unreported income on rental property. Then there is the ethical lapses in combining three condos into one, below-market apartment. Or explaining just how another Dominican condo was financed.

    And he's got some balls talking about Bush. RESIGN ASSHOLE!
