The House has expelled only five members since the 19th Century.

It has a great deal of tolerance for misconduct that would get us lesser mortals fired from our jobs if not being sent to prison.

Being a criminal is no barrier to being a Congresscritter.

RINOs and Democrats are indistinguishable. That has nothing to do with CNN’s bias, of course.

Nothing more than a Holder political witch hunt as punishment for the guy running a restaurant, while the likes of Rangel and Sharpton go scott free.

And a convicted felon.

A disgrace to the Marine Corps.

Not according to a Vietnam era Marine buddy of mine who lives on Staten Island. He's involved with local veterans groups and Rep. Mike Grimm sometimes attends their meetings. My Marine buddy isn't really political ... if anything, coming from Staten Island, he may lean democrat ... I'm not sure.

Congressman Grimm should resign, if not, the House should refuse to seat him. He criminally evaded taxes and hired illegals. If Republicans want standing to reject a Democrat in the future, they’d better be able to reject one of their own. A lover of illegals and convicted tax evader is a great place to start.

I was incorrect. Now he needs to resign. Failing that Congress should refuse to seat him.

He pleaded guilty to stiffing the IRS, that makes him a freedom fighter. At least, he didn’t send indiscrete messages to a gay former page.

First, I want to see all the corrupt IRS officials punished, have Lois Lerner lose her pension.

So he’s a felon. How about the rest of Congress, the people that stole away the future of my kids? Do they get off scot-free...it looks that way.

You can find the video on YouTube where he threatens to break the reporter in half and throw him over the balcony
