[B.O. Plenty]

Elections have consequences....said time after time...

..and now Rangle's constituents are effectively without representation.

Rangle will not be assigned to any committee from now on, and especially after the R's assume the House in Jan.

Rangle will not be able ever to help any of the people who "elected" him...

...Rangle, if he had any integrety or honor would have resigned months, if not years, ago. His obstinate refusal to admit any "wrongdoing" only proves that he really don't give a rat's ass about his constituents, so now they are without representation in the House of Representatives..

[Thom Pain]

"In the North East If you are a Liberal/Progressive", if you do not lie, cheat and steal whenever possible, You are considered a fool."

You can't be a Lib/Prog and still have a sense of ethics or moral standards. It's the party/mob of "whatever I can get away with"

Check the bumper stickers of the *ssholes that run Stop signs, speed thru residential neighborhoods, park at the yellow curb to pick up their laundry, etc. It's always "f*ck you, me first"!

...characterized by persistent poverty and some of the worst public schools in the country...”

Exactly...and HOW can these poor voters not see this???????

They see only that Rangel and the others are black, and that is enough.

[SumProVita]

As I stated before, this makes for an opportunity for conservative activism in such communities.

[RocketRoland]

You wont hear this from the media or political circles but blacks will not vote for conservative blacks in general because they have become programmed in their community. Uncle Tom and Oreo are terms used by blacks against other black conservatives or people that feel differently. To be an acceptable black leader you must march in lockstep!For years people heard that most of the black community was conservative and that is a lie. They are taught from birth to depend on government and that they are owed something and disadvantaged. Sad but true.

Liars & thieves. All of them.

[Gasshog]

He black and he went to Selma. For this we should leaf the po man be. Beside who knows how long before he gonna die.

[A'elian' nation]

Why are Duke Cunningham and William Jefferson (guy with the $100,000 in his freezer ) in jail and not Charlie Rangel ?

What’s the difference ? It’s ok to raid the public treasury but private contractor kickbacks land you in the clinker ?

I want the media to explain the difference.
Or is it because, as Rush said, it’s because Rangel marched in Selma giving him a lifelong Teflon coating?
