RATS never voluntarily give up their positions. You have to drag them out in handcuffs.

Hopefully this will get a higher profile in the MSM, once they’ve finally revealed to the public the whole truth about Sarah Palin and that missing mattress tag.

If true, Rangel’s refusal to step down puts the Democratic leadership on the spot. If they forcibly remove him, Rangel can be the posterchild for Democratic leadership corruption. If they fail to act, the Republicans can pillory the Dems as incapable of running a clean andabove-board ship of state.
It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.

Politico says the RNC has $110 million cash on hand. Why aren’t they putting some of that into ads (Rangel ads, Jefferson ads, no drill Congress ads) to drive down the Democrat party brand? That kind of advertising would, by extension, also help McCain.

Why should he step down? What are the people going to do about him? Nothing. What’s the media going to do? Nothing. What are the politicians going to do? Nothing.
This is why Obama wants to be POTUS. So much to sell, so little time.
To: Carley
And the taxpayers are picking up the tab..

I don't understand. What do you mean, he won't? Rangle shouldn't be given an option. Isn't this the most ethical Congress ever!!
What a joke!!!! “We The People” ...sure thing!

Didn’t you get the memo?
Tax laws that WE must follow don’t apply to Democrats, ESPECIALLY Black ones! They are a protected class.
Just ask anyone in the MSM about it. It’s not worth them covering, it just isn’t newsworthy.
Now, on the OTHER HAND, if it had been a REPUBLICAN.....
