Not a god damned thing...he knows it, we know it, Republican "leadership" knows it.

This will be a great boon to his chances for re-election in the district he is from.
It worked then. The DUmmies were screaming "The Republicans are for the draft! The republicans are for the draft!!!
I thought Bawney Fwank was the man-eater?!?
We need to start a campaign to have him arrested ..I’m serious..Pig that he is.
This was the schmuck wanting to introduce draft legislation. Harlem scum!
Also very important is the fact that Troops Out Now is a front for the communist Workers World Party. WWP founded that other so-called “anti-war” group ANSWER. ANSWER is now officially controlled by the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL). The PSL is a splinter of WWP. Its leaders are ‘former’ WWP leaders. A very dangerous, hate-America bunch this is.
Why is this piece of corruption worse than all the other corruption we unfolding before our very eyes?
why even go through these motions if nothing will come of this? He won’t even be voted out of office.
But thank you for caring. :)

"Among the many speakers were elected representatives—U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel and New York City Council members Charles Barron and Margarita Lopez—who have bucked their party to come out against the war. Barron has also introduced a Troops Out Now resolution in the City Council."

Democrat resume enhancer!
That’s racist.
Weekend at Bernie's? At least Bernie could still hold a drink.
Well! This will be a Badge of Honor for all of the Other DEMORATS!! Rangel will get tons of more Graft in Endorsements and Bribes after this Vote of Confidence in His Dispicable, Corrupt and Disgusting Behavior and Total Abscence of Morals and Ethics that make a Terrorist appear to be a Saint by comparison. But Rangel is no dirtier than Piglousy,Dinghy Harry, OBOZO HUSSEIN and the rest of their Thugs and Dirtballs!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeell No S**t Sherlock....
How about we revisit this after the new congress is sworn in after Nov 2010???
How about we go about reversing a few other bits of crap this congress has passed? What say you all??
who would have thunk it ...
how strange ..
Yeah—they each be lyin’s—a lot!
Hey, it was the Lyin’ King that called ‘em that.
RAR!
Wouldn’t have taken rocket science to know that!...much
less all of the hulabaloo! Sheesh!
Only in America could a lying, cheating, crooked, stupid POS like Rangel prosper. And only in the Democrat Party.
(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?
===========================================
Rangel's multiple ties with tax-exempt foundations smell to high heaven. Rangel’s pricey real estate deals are entwined with his financial connections to several tax-exempt entities.
The IRS says the biggest potential for IRS fraud are tax-exempt non-profits doing deals with other tax-exempt non-profits----all posing as do-gooder "foundations" and “charities.” The NY Post reports at least three tax-exempt entities connected to Rangel‘s finances:
(1) The Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service got $2 million from Comgressional allocations, plus another $700,000 from the Dept of HUD,
(2) The NY Carib News Foundation (organized financing for Rangel’s island-hopping luxe Caribbean trips),
(3) The Ann S. Kheel Charitable Trust---supposedly aids "disadvantaged neighborhoods" gave $440,000 to The Charles B. Rangel Center (the largest single donation in the charity's 4-year history). Theodore Kheel, Esq, VP of Grupo Punta Cana Operating Company, (mortgage holder on Rangel’s luxury villa), donated $17,000 to Rangel's congressional campaigns and $52,000 to a Rangel-run political action committee since 1990, federal filings show. (Ann Kheel is his late wife).
(4) The "tax-exempt Carib News Foundation" subsidized Rangel’s trips to luxury island resorts---perfect places to hide money from the taxman. The published list of known money-laundering havens includes Panama, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, the Cook Islands, Dominica, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Panama, the Philippines, St. Kitts, Israel, and the Grenadines. Suspected tax havens include Cyprus, Gibraltar, Monaco, and Antigua.
QUESTION The owners extended Rangel's villa loan, due 1988. Interest was waived for Rangel. Can you say quid pro quo? Rangel eventually paid it off in 2003. How much of Rangel's loan payoff was hidden behind (A) Congressional earmarks? Or (B) from federal funds Rangel got for his "non-profit," then illegally converted for his own use?
The IRS has targeted tax-exempt non-profits as rife with fraud. There are zillions of ways n/p can siphon off tax-exempt money, and illegally convert it for personal and political uses. Donations from one tax-exempt non-profit to another non-profit are THE biggest scams....the way individuals skim off tax-free monies for themselves (the "donation" is kickbacked to the donor).
