If this guy is resigning because of a scandal, why is Charlie Rangel, who is vastly more corrupt, with far bigger scandals, still sitting in the congress?

Of course you now the answer, so why ask it?

Because he is a Democrat.

Being democrat means never having to say you’re sorry.

Klansman Robert Byrd, Waitress Sandwich Dodd, Cold Cash Jefferson, Tax Cheat Tim Geitner,Land Speculator Ried, Road side stop Gay American ex Gov. of NJ, Client # 7? ex Gov of New York,etc. etc. etc.

Charlie is in his element, I’d say.

Republican voters have standards. Democrats? Not so much.

Democrats never resign. Look at Clinton and like you said, Rangel. They tough it out and if they can get the votes, they stay. Republicans (almost) always resign because the Left starts screaming, "Hypocrite!!" and their voters won't back them.

Because a majority of voters in Rangel's district approve of Rangel's behavior.

Only DEMS circle the wagons and keep their corrupt buddies in office. REPublicans oust their own and demand it. While this is a moral issue, he can be forgiven.

I’m sick of the double standard.

Because according to democrats, they don’t run on “family values” so when they get caught with their hand in someone else’s cookie jar, they don’t have to resign because they never said they weren’t cookie snatchers!
