NRO ^ | 2/26/10 | By Daniel Foster

The day after a House ethics panel admonished Rep. Charlie Rangel (D., N.Y.) for improperly accepting gifts, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi defended the senior Democrat from calls that he be stripped of his gavel as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.

Pelosi said Rangel “did not violate the rules of the House,” and that the ethics committee “did not take action against him” yet, ABC News’s Rick Klein reports. The ethics panel said it was uncertain whether Rangel himself knew the trips were improper, but found that members of Rangel’s staff did know, and that Rangel had a responsibility to find out.

Swamp Queen didn’t break rules, but Federal laws, that’s another issue.

Charlie has been around long enough to know where all the skeletons are buried, including Nancy’s. This could be fun to watch.

Vote to destroy Speaker Pelosi and the Democrat low life like Conyers, Rangel, Waters and “all” Democrats who are either America haters or crooks!!! Get your butts in gear and vote on November 2, 2010 to totally destroy the Democrat “Treason” Party and failed POTUS Barack Hussein Obama (the protege of Black racists and America haters Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan) with it.

Listening to Obama, you could tell the only thing he knows about Rangel was what he was told in the minutes before he said Rangel should go with dignity.

I just think that Obama pretty much hates anything New York...The gov, the major, Hillary and it looks like Schumer made his list when Obama tapped him to do the Lockerbie bit.

Pelosi said Rangel “did not violate the rules of the House,”

Since when is the commission of multiple felonies not a violation of House rules?

She just forgot to finish the sentence with “as far as I know”. This twit makes McVeigh look like Einstein. Speeding away from OKC right after a huge explosion with no license plate does not even qualify one for the Darwin Award from the lower end of the scale.

No, the problem is that both Rangel and Pelosi (as well as Maxine Waters, another House Democrat facing ethics charges) are in House districts that have 60-70% Democrats registered to vote. They have nothing to worry about from the voters.

Remember that even when he had been caught with $90,000 in marked bills from the FBI in his freezer, a Democrat named William Jefferson was still able to win re-election. It took a formal indictment from a federal grand jury to pry his thieving fingers loose from the reins of power. Even then, he won the Democratic primary and only lost in the general election.

The Democrats just don't care if they're electing a criminal, as long as he hasn't actually been indicted yet.

These people are racist through and through. They think that minorities are unable to comply with the rules that ordinary people obey, and so they hold them to a much lower standard.
