Typical Democrat, Insists They Do Nothing Wrong -Rangel Censure

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.

Rangel Censure

AP – Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., speaks on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Nov. 16, 2010. Rangel was …

The House ethics committee's chief counsel recommended Thursday that veteran Rep. Charles Rangel of New York be censured for financial and fundraising misconduct as lawmakers neared closure on a 2 1/2-year-long scandal.

Like how they put "Rep" in front of his name, as if he's Republican? Now, I notice the news does this when one of their own is in trouble. they use the abbreviation, instead of Representative. If it's a Republican that is in trouble, they will say, "Republican Representative," or "Republican Rep..." It's just a little trick the media does but, oh, they are not biased...don't go that far. You'd be judging them, you evil Christian you.

Chisam's recommendation was that Rangel receive the most serious congressional discipline short of expulsion. A censure resolution would require a vote by the House disapproving Rangel's conduct and the speaker would orally administer an embarrassing rebuke to the 20-term Democrat in front of his colleagues.

Censured? That's it? He's not getting thrown out on his butt? Who the hell elects this man in office in the first place?
