Pelosi is a clown.

BTW has anyone started a pool guessing how soon John McCain will take to the floor calling for Grimm's resignation?

Tax evasion? Is this a case where he followed an accountant’s advice to treat revenue as business income (still pay the income taxes but avoid Medicare taxes) instead of as earned income (taxed as earned income but also pay Medicare taxes on the whole amount)?

If so, that’s a common tax avoidance strategy that MANY people follow.

I agree he shouldn't be seated. The problem with the Republican Party is we keep electing supposed conservatives, and we end up with trash like this. Get him out of there. Staten Island is home to a lot of police and firefighters. They'd have a real good chance of getting a law-and-order pro US Constitution rep in there.

It's not like this is the kind of guy who's helping us as part of the majority.

Agree! We should very publicly repudiate the criminal element in our party & remove it. Then point out all the criminals on the other side who ought to go.

An expulsion vote on Day 1 of the new Congress would be in order.

What Pelosi is doing is getting the mainstream liberal media to cover the fact that a Republican pleaded guilty to a crime and he didn’t resign.
The last thing Pelosi wants is for Grimm to really be gone from the Republican caucus. If he resigned, he would lose all demagoguery value to the Democrat “leader.”

If Pelousy thinks Michael Grimm should resign for this offense...

...then she no doubt believes that Charlie Rangel should be stood up in front of a firing squad for his crimes against the state.



Heh, heh...heh, heh...

Michael Grimm is a double-win for the Democrats: federal income tax-evasion and hiring illegal aliens while paying them in cash.

Across the little Hudson stream, on the northern end of the other island that helps makes up the People’s Republic of NYC, there is an evil, little man who hates America.
Corrupt, dishonest, and filled with hate, this little man failed to pay taxes for years, was found by his pals to be a crook, traveled to foreign ports for illicit activities . . . AND WAS JUST RE-ELECTED.
Little Charlie ain’t gone.

But, I agree with your idea. We ain’t them.
Let the people of Richmond County elect a new representative. (after all, the Corleone’s house is for sale, lots of changes are in the air.)

First order of business in the new House, (if Boehner doesn’t tear up the Constitution with his bear hands first), refuse to seat the crook and bounce him out on his keister.
