I think this is a bit of kabuki theater going on to fool us. The Dem Party which “hates whitey” and wants to “kill cracker babies” are creating a little show for us.

Rangel probably stole millions, will leave with his pension and it will show Obama can be tough on blacks. BS.

Smoke and mirrors folks. The Dems are still the home of black racists and liberals. This is SO staged - don’t fall for it.

Obama is afraid whites are onto how he “hates whitey” so he will throw Rangel under the bus.

Nothing has changed - his supporters still want to “kill cracker babies.”

BINGO! We have a winner. The Democrats are afraid they have been outed as the party who hates honkies and crackers.

They still want to “kill cracker babies.” Don’t be fooled. This is a setup like James Webb’s BS. Obama is letting a few Dem token whites speak up. Obama and his group hate whites especially Christian whites.

Am I alone in hoping that Rangel chooses to fight tooth-and-nail?

The real reason? The corruption is far worse than Rangel...but if he falls on his sword and goes, they pray it won’t expose them.

Call on Rangel to resign? Sure, Betty.

You’re attempting to spare old Charlie and the House Democrats an embarrassing public trial, just before the mid-terms.

Nice try, though.

I wonder who his protege is...

There are dozens of black and Hispanic Democrat politicians in Rangel's district who would cut each other up for Rangel's seat - if he should resign.

This Betty Sutton announcement is probably just a trial balloon on the part of the White House. Now they are going to see how much or how little support it gets from the rest of the House Democrats.

Rats almost never ‘give up’ power - they’re like addicts... I hope he stays on as a living example of what dems are like... ( well, at least until the election...)

>>The rats are just TRYING to “look ethical”.<<

I agree. Calls for resignation are totally engineered and controlled. At least, for now.

Charlie Rangle is so crooked he has to screw his socks on. He is the poster boy for why we must have term limits for all congress critters.

My bet is he cops some kind of deal where he resigns, escapes prosecution, pays back taxes on $75k and retires with full benefits to his Carribbean snake den.

A pox on his house!

She's from my old CD district (35 years ago), white, and has been in politics (never held a real job) since she left the much heralded and highly regarded law school at the “U of Akron”! And clearly a racist!!

Only one, huh?

Did she draw short straw so the Dems can claim they are against corruption?

Like it matters if Rangel leaves. He will just be replaced by the same scum.

Or worse. It's NY, NYC, to boot.

Precisely! He'll resign before the very public trial begins....The congressional committee has no authority over him then. Doubt anyone will bring other charges, so he's home free (with lots of money)
