When all else fails, play the race card.
Is this a New York thing when it comes to politicians…?

When the noose… let me rephrase that.
When Charlie Rangel’s ethics issues start to close in on him, just how long do you think it will take for the congressman to blame white people for his numerous tax evasions and violations?







Wait for the right to vote?
Yes, Rangel has pulled the race card with regard to the Health Care issue.
“Why do black people have to bargain for what is theirs? Why do we have to wait for the right to vote? Why can’t we get what God has given us? And that is the right to live as human beings and not negotiate with white southerners and not court the votes. Just do the right thing,” Rangel said”
The right to vote?? Not negotiate with white southerners? So, you can vote in healthcare reform without negotiating with white southerners, but take the tax money of white southerners and make them do your bidding? God has given you the right to purchase healthcare or get it from your employer, but taking money from others is not a f*****g right. This is an act of desperation from a man so corrupt that the Washington Post is recommended that he step down. The Washington f*****g Post!
Is that all you got, Charlie? You have been around for awhile and should be able to do better than this. It may have worked 2 years ago, but may not now. We’ll see.
I am extremely proud charlie that the people of this country have matured enough over the years to elect a black man to the highest office in the land.I am embarrassed that it was this black man and hope that he doesn’t ruin it for those coming behind him.
I know exactly how obama got a elected, rangel you damn crook..still makes me laugh though, that he’s an uncle tom for the Democrat Party, always a hoot
How worried would you really be about your ethics issues if you had made ‘campaign donations’ to three of the members on the committee investigating you (I’m looking at you Ben Chandler of Kentucky and G.K. Butterfield of North Carolina)?
Sorry Charlie, but you made your bed and it stinks! Although, you may be able to blame your mommy or aides.
Another “inconvenient truth”:
STAFF AS ‘FORGETFUL’ AS THE BOSS
“Two of his top aides are among about a dozen highly paid staffers on the powerful tax-writing Ways and Means Committee who have filed a flurry of amendments correcting their financial-disclosure statements since 2002.”
