From Fox News: The investigative panel of bipartisan lawmakers looking at alleged violations of House rules by New York Rep. Charlie Rangel recommended a "reprimand" for the longtime lawmaker, Rep. Gene Green, D-Texas, a member of the panel, said Friday.
Well there you have it. The man is charged with THIRTEEN violations of House rules, and the best the 'Drain the Swamp' House of Retards can do is give him a reprimand?
"There there Charlie, its alright. Try to do your taxes correctly next time, okay son?"
Never mind that there were "28 instances in which he(Rangel) failed to report acquiring, owning, or disposing assets".
Never mind the reports that Rangel "exchanged official favors – a tax loophole for oil driller Nabors Industries Ltd. – in exchange for a $1 million gift to the Charles Rangel Center at City College of New York."
Never mind that Rangel has been plagued by corruption problems in the past.
Despite all of this, and other allegations that have not been disclosed in detail, the House wants to give him a 'reprimand'.
The hypocrisy is unbelievable, and Rangel isn't the first to exposed.
Earlier this week, we had reports about how John Kerry moved his yacht from his own state, and in the process dodged a nearly $500,000 sales tax. This from the man who has repeatedly voted to raise taxes in Congress.
So in less than a week, we have 2 instances where rich Democrats who vote for higher taxes, and then turn right around and circumvent paying the taxes they owe.
Why don't you practice what you preach, Democrats?
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: "If liberals didn't have double standards, then they wouldn't have any standards at all."

Do we want Obama to fail?

The media went nuts when Rush Limbaugh said this. On his radio program, and in an interview with Shawn Hannity, the talk-show host said, "I want Obama to fail". While some were saying that Rush wanted the president personally to fail, if you'd actually take the time to read the context of Rush's words you would realize what he was saying. What he meant was Obama's policies, and I think that's a question we need to ask ourselves, "Do we want Obama to fail?
The economy is tanking even I speak. The DOW has plunged 3000 points since Obama's inauguration, and despite media assurances that it will improve, it has continued its downward spiral. Nothing has been done to inspire confidence anywhere, and the new solution appears to be tax hikes! The stimulus is having little effect, especially where it matters-on Wallstreet. Actually the stimulus is having an effect, but its not improving the economy. What the stimulus, and the various government takeovers of corporations begun last year are doing, is drastically increasing the power and oversight of government. If Obama's plan succeeds, America will be little more than a massive socialist democracy. So do we want this to succeed? Can we actually get behind the man and say I want his plans to succeed? Do we want him to succeed in the agenda of turning the United States into a socialist democracy? Will we violate our principles just to supposedly "get behind" the president?
I for one, cannot. So yes, I want Obama to fail. Not the man personally, but his policies and his socialist agenda that threatens the greatness of America.
I for one will not be a party in "remaking America"...
God bless you and God bless America
