Exactly. Did you notice how half the story is bashing Fox news rather than the meat? A Democrat is corrupt.

Charlie won’t step down because he is black and will pull the race card in a New York minute.

Do you ‘member those pictures of “president bill” standing on the White House lawn, encircled by smiling, jocular, supportive democrats?

Next question, where is randy cunningham?

Because he knows where all the skeletons are buried.

If that crook feels so much as uncomfortable, he’ll squeal like a baby piggy.... and they know it.

Why hasn't Charlie Rangel stepped down?

Because the Congressional Black Caucus has informed Nancy that any move to remove him would be racist. Even asking questions is racist.

Only the people in his district employ him. They apparently do not care.

Name one republican who will have the guts to use this walking bag of scum as a poster boy for democrat corruption during the 2010 or 2012 elections. (pun intended)

They are afraid of being singled out as racists.

Capone had more money than Rangel.

But at least Capone provided something worthwhile that people desired, booze. Rangel only provides for Rangel. And in Capone's world, honor (even of the gangster variety) was important. There is no honor asked for or given in Rangel's.

Thyere is the IRS hotline where you call in with informationon on those committing tax wrongoings. I wonder if over 500 people all called in with Charlie Rangel’s misdeeds and his addresses, they would consider looking into him. Even better, all our Congresscritters could do this.

Rangel should be out on bail, pending trial.

I disagree. The previous occupant of that seat was Adam Clayton Powell -easily, if not MORE corrupt than Mr. Rangel.
Employers of congressmen from many other districts weighed in on his conduct and he

” was eventually removed from his seat by the Democratic members-elect of the 90th Congress following allegations of corruption.”

Its easy to blame our fellow American’s in his district...but frankly the corruption is heavy and legitimate contenders find the air healthier outside his district. Which is why pressure form outside needs to be brought to bear.

I’ve noticed for years that Republicans are always falling over themselves to praise “Charlie”, like the late Jack Kemp, for instance. These Republicans are hoping the Harlem Democrat will say something nice about them in order to impress their constituents.
