Ethics panel says Rep. Maxine Waters (D) broke House rules
Washington Post ^

WASHINGTON -- A House investigative panel has charged California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters with violating ethics rules.

Waters, a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee, would face a trial in the fall unless she negotiates a settlement.

If the case goes to trial, Democrats would have the political headache of two ethics trials - one for Waters and another for Rep. Charles Rangel of New York. ....

The media protects Obama. He doesn’t need a sacrifice. These two are not going along with the Obama radicalization of their black constituencies, and Obama means to be rid of them.

Shocked, I tell you...just shocked.

I won’t be shocked, however, if they just let it slide and nothing happens to this evil wench.

One has to wonder why it is happening now?

An attempt by the House to make themselves look good..fighting corruption.

An attempt by the accused to beat the rap of worse punishment that would be demanded if the GOP ran the House, a likely scenario next year.

I like my speculaton about the latter best.

It’s to the public, not to the media.

Barney Frank is also involved, but so far it looks like he'll get away with it.

Unless something we don't know about surfaces, he can claim he acted legitimately for a local bank, since he wasn't married to Maxine's husband.

Not joking, but of course you may not appreciate the intricacies involved in purges between radical factions. For you they may all the same?However A saavy man would exploit this crack and drive in a wedge. Why not cheer for Rangel and Waters. All the more power to them in this fight to preserve their patronage systems against the Obama radical agenda.

And when all is said and done, if Obama is successful at justifying radical voting riots (and yes he did help create Kenyas in 2007 which resulted in genocide), he will have the perfect excuse to justify redrawing voting districts according to racial and ethnic concentrations gathered in his white house run census.

If one thinks like a fascist, then Obama’s plans are very apparent. The various factors fall into place.

Obama wants both Maxine and Rangel gone. Why? ASK YOURSELF!!!! Its because they will not relinquish control of their constituencies for the Obama radical agenda.

You may be on to something, but I can't see it.

Ever heard Maxine Waters speak? She sounds like she's Obama's twisted political sister to me.

I cheer on Rangel and Dipstick to fight it all the way. It’ll wreak havoc on the left. Especially that radical black caucus. But I don’t believe that they are against Obama’s radical agenda. They don’t think it’s radical enough.

I have heard Waters and Rangel speak, they talk the talk, but the fact is they have spent all their years setting up systems of political patronage focused on themsleves and their individual feifdoms. Obama wants them gone because he cannot get his radical agenda accomplished with them in the way in two of the most important Afro American boroughs in the country.Obama wants Chicago, Atlanta, LA , Harlem,Ne orleans all in flames if they lose an election.Thats what he did in Kenya, no kidding, he has already played this game in fact.

The charges .. 3 of them.

AP sources: 3 charges filed against Rep. Waters
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100802/ap_on_go_co/us_waters_ethics

Persons familiar with the case said Waters is accused of violating:

a rule that House members may not exert improper influence that results in a personal benefit;

also, the government employees ethics code, which prohibits granting or accepting special favors for the employee or family members that could be viewed as influencing official actions;

and a rule that member conduct must reflect creditably on the House.

Well maybe you are right about that, but essentially Rangels and Waters have created their own little versions of the United states of Liberia inside their own districts. they are king and queen over all they see. And they are not willing to gib-ve it up to Obama unless it is on their own terms. Thats the fack Jack, LOL!

I want them to fight Obama, the ethics committee and win, because it splits the Black Caucus in two, away from the Obama agenda, which would re-ignite racism on a national scale. At least if the two win, the dynamic will be contained within thier little Afro-American feifdoms.

I’m not sure I agree with you. Charlie and Maxine are two of the biggest leftists in congress.
