He's 80 years old, and gotten away everything this long....do you think he gives two sh ts about what anybody says or thinks anymore?

Why should he...game over...he(and many like him)won.....

(...and still many others are following in his footsteps....stupid, complacent America deserves what it gets from it's so-called(LOL)"representatives".)

[Rational Thought]

That video is priceless.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

He’s an arrogant ass.

THE RANGEL SWINDLE

(1) Took a “homestead” tax deduction meant for year-round DC residents - though he legally resides in New York;

(2) Rangel paid no taxes on his luxe property in the Caribbean;

(3) Has four rent-stabilized apartments (one is a campaign office);

(4) Improperly stored his car in a House parking garage;

(5) The NY Times reported oil-drilling businessman Eugene Isenberg made a $1 million pledge toward building The Rangel School for Public Service at City College of New York. Rangel later preserved a controversial offshore tax loophole that saved millions for Isenberg’s company. The Isenberg-Nabors deal is, potentially, far more serious: It reeks of a quid pro quo between Rangel’s official duties and fund-raising for his personal project. The Times reported that Rangel held meetings the same day, at the same hotel, with Isenberg to discuss the CCNY project and then with Nabors’ chief lobbyist on the tax loophole;

(6) Took free trips sponsored by corporate lobbyists;

(7) Can Rangel prove where he spent $2 million from Congressional allocations, plus another $700,000 from the Dept of HUD) that went to the tax-exempt Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service?

‘ole Chucky’ should spend the rest of his days in Gitmo with the other haters of America.

Chucky, If you're out there, you deserve chains & shackles.

Now, I am waiting for the nCrapCP to come out and defend ‘ole Chucky’. I think it is time for that famous Anime-gif of ‘that's rascist’....

FUCR!

[bigbob]

They ought to ask whether he prefers orange or zebra stripes for his prison uniform.

“He’s 80 years old, and gotten away everything this long....do you think he gives two sh ts about what anybody says or thinks anymore?”

EXACTLY!
None of them give a rat’s @$$ about you, me, or anyone else who can’t line their pockets. These elitist slobs have been bending America over the table for so long they can’t imagine us not getting used to it, and actually liking it.

Can’t wait ‘till November! Doubt it will do any good, but I will not vote for one incumbent. I want them ALL out.

[bigbob]

Gotta agree with him about one thing: this sure DOESN’T sound like MSNBC!

[billhilly]

“Can’t wait ‘till November! Doubt it will do any good, but I will not vote for one incumbent. I want them ALL out.”

A blueprint for unintended consequences.

This picture is the perfect reminder of what Charlie Rangel inherited from Adam Clayton Powell's constituents. Powell “performed his congressional duties” from various Caribbean islands during his long career representing the citizens of Harlem. Charlie apparently read the job description before seeking the arduous job.

[Cyman]

And to think that Charlie succeeded another pristine congressman from that district, Adam Clayton Powell.

[oblomov]

Ironic, isn’t it, that Rangel beat AC Powell in the Democratic primary back in 1970 because Rangel positioned himself as a reformer.

[alloysteel]

Charley Rangel is about as dirty as they come, but it is EXPECTED of the office he fills.

He has held the office far too long, but nobody in his district dares challenge him. Any such upstart would soon have his hands full with all kinds of harassments and whispering campaigns, so none dare speak truth to power, no matter how highly this may be held in esteem elsewhere.

Until something like a “tea party” grows up in Harlem, this is how things shall always be.
