Excerpt:

It hasn't gotten much attention amid news of Ted Kennedy, Obamacare and the worsening outlook in Afghanistan, but an extraordinary situation is developing in the House of Representatives. With each passing day, it's becoming more clear that the powerful committee chairman in charge of writing America's tax laws is a financial wheeler-dealer, a serial asset-hider, and a tax offender.

Excerpt:

Last week, we learned that Rangel filed a grossly misleading financial disclosure report for 2007 -- failing to report at least half a million dollars in assets.

It turns out Rangel had a credit union account worth at least $250,000 and maybe as much as $500,000 -- and didn't report it. He had investment accounts worth about the same, which he also didn't report. Ditto for three pieces of property in New Jersey.

Beyond that, we've learned that Rangel has failed to report assets totaling more than $1 million on legally required financial disclosure forms going back to at least 2001.

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain, I am the great and powerful OZ"

Fantastic, if more people would simply break out their cameras, and do exactly this, the house of cards known as the federal/income tax would collapse in a week.

Collapse that, and the economy would no longer be collapsible at the whimsy of Congress, and their master, the FED.

Do exactly this through your state legislatures, and you have America back within a year.

Pelosi to let Rangel keep post as GOP steps up its attacks
http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/57029-pelosi-will-let-rangel-hold-post-despite-new-allegations

Excerpt:

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will let Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) keep his chairmanship despite his failing to report hundreds of thousands of dollars in assets on federal disclosure forms, according to Democratic aides.
The chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee’s latest misstep has received strong media scrutiny and prompted good-government watchdog groups to call for a special counsel investigation.

Growing ethical turmoil surrounding Rangel has prompted calls for Pelosi to yank Rangel’s gavel. Rep. Darrel Issa (R-Calif.) on Wednesday called on Rangel to release his tax returns. He also said Democratic leaders should yank Rangel’s Ways and Means chairmanship if he refuses or if the returns show tax reporting violations.

“There’s enough [failures to disclose assets] that it’s starting to look more like a pattern…the public has a right to know if he pays his taxes and if he has a pattern of not paying his taxes,” Issa said in an interview with The Hill. “If he failed to file his taxes in any of these circumstances, he should not be allowed to be the chairman of the tax-writing committee.”

Pelosi is doing the right thing with Rangel. Only the R gang is part of the "culture of the corruption". Therefore, Rangel did no wrong in Pelosi's eyes, so he should stay. I'm so thankful for the virtuous public servants we have -- always watching diligently over the "public interest" -- always protecting us.

P.S. Since this country right now is so divisive, I think the Treasury should mint two kinds of money. The one for conservatives should stay the same -- "In God We Trust". But the one for libs should read, 'In Everything Evil We Trust".

they are corrupt to the core.

Rangel should be removed and his voting rights denied until an independent prosecutor is appointed and the investigation is complete.

Neither body should have the power to audit/investigate themselves anymore.

They have long ago forfeited the priviledge to be thought of as anything but cheats/scammers and worse.

Everyone of them should be put under a lie detector before every term starts and questions asked.

There should be an independent board of non dims and non pugs setup to investigate these clowns.

Time to get some sunlight into this din of snakes.

If that's too much for them to bear and they think it violates their rights , then I have a very simple thought on that....

DON'T RUN -- WE WILL BE JUST FINE WITHOUT YOU!!!!!!!!!

Think of how stupid this is, you hire some people to work for you and then you suspect they may be stealing you blind AND WORSE and YET, you allow THEM to go behind closed doors and determine if THEIR actions are in YOUR best interests.

Don't worry the Clinton fraction will lead the charge to remove Pelosi as Speaker.

Politics is a fun and intriguing game.

The late Senator served his revenge cold to the Clintons' by endorsing Obama and denying Hillary the nomination and most probably the presidency.

Ted is gone and all bets are off, about who controls the Dem party. Without the late Senator's backing, Obama is, more than likely, already a lame duck. A lame duck the Clintons' have in their sights.

Excerpt:

Rangel is now the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and a man of immense importance in Washington. Nonetheless, he has been busy of late revising and amending the record, backing and filling, using buckets of Wite-Out as he discovers or remembers properties he has owned in New York, New Jersey, Florida, the Dominican Republic and God only knows where else -- and has forgotten or neglected to fully report on the required forms, not to mention the income from them. Oops!

Rangel recently even discovered bank accounts that no one in the world, apparently including him, knew he had. One was with the Congressional Federal Credit Union; another was with Merrill Lynch -- each valued between $250,000 and $500,000. He somehow neglected to mention these accounts on his congressional disclosure forms, which means, if you can believe it, that when he signed the forms, he did not notice that maybe $1 million was missing. Someone ought to check the lighting in his office.

Carter did it again tonight. I wish he hadn't. It's like when Obama talked about the arrest of the professor when he was supposed to be pushing health care reform. It served no good purpose - except to those who already agreed with Obama -and hurt the health care reform objective in the end.

For someone who seems astute about many things, how can you be so confused on my posting about comparisons?

I am comparing how people recognize motives. You are specifying bad actions. Of course, most rational (leaves out ACORN employees) people can define an act as either bad, neutral or evil, without ever actually doing the physical act.

The only way you can recognize motive (reason) if the person actually confesses to the reason for the statement, which rarely happens, or the usual way, which is using your own standards of reasons for making a statement, i.e. projection.

Sharp line of demarcation between the reason (internal motivation) and an actual behavior, e.g. selling pornography.

The case against Charlie Rangel

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/the_case_against_charlie_rangel_CQzOq9iEYz1OLmLAJ3 hEiI

Excerpt:

On April 9, 1965, a 34-year-old lawyer named Charles Rangel took out a low-interest mortgage to renovate his childhood home — a row house on West 132nd Street that he had just inherited from his grandfather.

The $39,350 loan came from a New York City program to develop low-income housing. Rangel and his sister Frances were to use the money to turn the family home in Central Harlem, which Rangel affectionately called Buckingham Palace, into six apartments.

While Rangel may have thought he scored a sweetheart deal, the loan came back to haunt him during his first run for Congress in 1970. An opponent in the Democratic primary accused him of violating the conditions of the mortgage because he was living in one of the apartments that were supposed to be rented only to poor people, “If Charlie Rangel is low income, then we have a new crisis in this country,” Jesse Gray, a longtime housing activist, charged.

Committee preps Rangel announcement

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1009/28099.html

Excerpt:

Democratic Rep. Charlie Rangel, who has survived multiple Republican attempts to oust him as Ways and Means Committee chairman, may be headed for more trouble on the ethics front.

The House ethics committee met privately on Thursday and is expected to issue an announcement about its sprawling Rangel investigation later today, according to Democratic and GOP insiders. Several members of the committee – including those on the special subcommittee investigating Rangel — came and went from the ethics panel offices Thursday afternoon in the Capitol basement without commenting on the matter.

Rep. Jo Bonner (R-Ala.), ranking Republican on the panel, said the "full committee will be issuing a statement this afternoon." Bonner declined to give any details on that announcement.

It's unclear what the secretive ethics panel will say, but the committee has been conducting a wide-ranging probe of the veteran New York Democrat. The committee is looking into Rangel's use of rent-stabilized apartments in a Harlem luxury building, his fundraising on behalf of the Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service at City College in New York, a tax provision for a million-dollar donor to the center and his failure to pay taxes on a vacation home in the Dominican Republican.

He personally helped out of his own pocket? How? As a Robber Baron? Did he rob from the "haves" to give to the "have nots" in exchange for the latter's votes? Is this the kind of help to which you're referring?

It's super easy to "help" when the money isn't coming out of your own pocket. Even One who is far, far better than any of us (including you or your buddy Rangel!) once taught:

Mark 12:41-44
41 And He sat down opposite the treasury, and began observing how the multitude were putting money into the treasury; and many rich people were putting in large sums. 42 And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amount to a cent. 43 And calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury; 44 for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on. "
NASB

If it's easy for the rich to willingly give from out of their own surplus, then how much easier for corrupt, crooked, thieving politicians to give away the earned fruits of one group to another who has not earned it either?

Yes, indeed...Mr. Chucky Rangel is quite the paragon of charity, isn't he? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

"To criticize Rangel would look politically expedient for these Democrats and could risk the ire of the Congressional Black Caucus and the many influential black activists in New York.

Barry tried to throw him under the bus but was unable to do it. He said that CR was 8o years old and all he wants is a dignified retirement. Then birthday boy says he ain't goin' nowhere.

These guys almost never leave with grace. It doesn't matter if they are male, female, Republician, Democratic, or Independent. They never seem to get it through their thick skulls that gig is up.

He said he might have been stupid, and might have been unorganized, but he was not corrupt.

Jay Leno pointed out that using stupid and unorganized as selling points was something new. :lol:

Charlie can say whatever he wants, after all he is eighty years old and will soon be over rated.

Culture of corruption: Rangel (and Pelosi) on trial; Update: sob story circus, delay rejected, Rangel-less hearing

http://michellemalkin.com/2010/11/15/culture-of-corruption-rangel-on-trial/

Excerpt:

Update: 9:10am Eastern. Hearing has begun. Rangel showed up. Mirabile dictu!

Update: 9:30am – Rangel is playing victim, asking for more time. Complains about toll on family, pleads for delay because of – wait for it – lack of money!
Rangel threatens to walk out. Panel retreats behind closed doors.

Update 10:23am Panel will not delay trial. Hearing will proceed without Rangel. A few of the Democrats cry “unfair” on Rangel’s behalf, but chairwoman Rep. Lofgren proceeds.

House investigator Blake Chisam notes that Rangel had six months’ notice, refused to respond or prepare a case. “It’s time for you to vote.”
Investigator is reviewing the 13 charges. “The facts are uncontested.” Rangel “repeatedly” he did not get disclosure and tax filings correct.
Damning: Chisam shows video clips of Rangel from his House floor meltdown, which corroborate violations of rules.

Hmm....let's see...what are the outcome options? And ol' Charlie is black right?
Okay...I got it. A slap on the wrist because everyone is operating on the Empathy Justice System. (And let's not the we have the dynamics of Affirmative Action in play here, also.) :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

The $64. question: What is congress going to do about this? Will they think this liar and cheat is fit to serve?

P.S. Wonder if Miss Nancy will issue any "culture of corruption" statements? :rolleyes:

In that bunch, let him/her who is without sin cast the first stone.

I wonder how long it will be before Rangel pulls the racism card out of his deck due to the verdict?

Frankly I'm thinking he's run out of time, and cards to play.
They're even reaching way down lately and mentioning that he's a Korean War vet when they bring his name up. Also that he's pushing 80, like if you're an old vet you can do whatever you want and then just act confused and befuddled then when caught people are supposed to feel sorry and then say, "ahh gee, we should leave the poor man alone."
