AP – In this Nov. 30, 2010, photo, Rep. Charles Rangel, D- N.Y.,walks to his office on Capitol Hill office …
As if I would expect anything different from a democrat. Any time they are caught RED-handed doing something, it matters not. They just dig their heels in the sand and insist that people believe they have done nothing wrong.
Charles Rangel, who will most certainly be censured is doing the typical song and democrat dance. Apparently, not paying taxes on 17 years of income received from a villa in the Dominican Republic, is okay if you're a democrat. Especially if you're a democrat that is always chastising those who have money and insisting they don't pay enough in taxes.
His argument is that censure is reserved for corrupt congressmen, and he's not one of them.
In a last-ditch attempt to influence the House, Rangel e-mailed about 25,000 campaign supporters
Wednesday. He asked them to call the Capitol switchboard to get connected to their congressmen and ask them to vote against censure.
Rangel was apologetic in his plea.
"I am truly sorry for mistakes and would like your help in seeing that I am treated fairly," he wrote.
Rangel said he posted arguments for a reprimand on his website, "which shows that the recommendation for censure is excessive and that my lapses do not rise to the level of transgressions of those censured in the past."
Gosh, could you even imagine if he were a Republican? This story would be all over 24/7, non-stop coverage.
