Which has the stupidest people in their district: Rangel, Schultz or Pelosi?

[Brad from Tennessee]

After his victory Congressman Rangel said,”It's not who votes that counts—it's who counts the votes.”

Corrupt politicians are harder to get rid of than a severe case of the crabs.

That kind of stinks that he held on, but at least the extremely racist Charles Barron was defeated in Brooklyn.

I think his opponent is still a stinking liberal but still, not a crazy hater.

[doc1019]

As long as this idiot can keep getting his idiot constituency money they will vote for him. It is all about the money.

[Kevin in California]

Nothing but a bunch of ignoramus’s in Rangel’s district. But then again, there’s a lot of the same ignoramus’s in my state as well. Thankfully, I’m not one of them.

[Deagle]

I just love it when Democratic agents continue to support him regardless of friends that continue to support him regardless of this proven illegal activity.

Ah, but there in lies the problem! He can NOT be convicted of anything because he is a Senator! It matters not whether he broke the law, matters not whether he rented rooms at limited price, makes no matter whether he actually paid taxes, come on, he is a Senator!

You stupid folks that continue to support him are just that, STUPID! I’m ashamed to say that most of you are also racists in that you support him regardless of his legal problems... Yes, that is the true form of racism!

Note: the page (on the Workers World Party website) with this photo has recently been removed.

But here's other evidence of his speaking at the event:

"Among the many speakers were elected representatives—U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel and New York City Council members Charles Barron and Margarita Lopez—who have bucked their party to come out against the war. Barron has also introduced a Troops Out Now resolution in the City Council."--Workers World Party

[Communist dictator Fidel Castro visits Harlem,

"Rangel is an avowed admirer of the former Cuban President Fidel Castro. In April 1993, the congressman introduced legislation to repeal the Cuban Democracy Act of 1992, which ended U.S. assistance to the Castro government, and to lift the American embargo against Cuba. When Castro toured Harlem in October of 1995, Rangel greeted him with a bear hug at an event in a local church, where the congressman joined in a prolonged standing ovation for the visiting dictator."

It's an old story.

[MasterGunner01]

Let us not forget the other paragon of virtue and integrity that Charlie Rangel replaced: Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Old Adam was cut from the same crooked cloth. Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Clayton_Powell,_Jr

[SMGFan]

But wasn’t he still guaranteed a spot on the ballot in November with Working Families line?

[Deagle]

When the people of the District are corrupt, so will be their Representative. Really, nothing new here.

[firebrand]

Rangel’s district was 50% Hispanic before the redistricting. Now it’s 55%. (It was 30 percent black and 15 percent white non-Hispanic before the redistricting.)

Still not enough to take it away from him, although Dominicans are a group that votes at a rate of 50% (considered high) and the black vote was split four ways against one Hispanic. Lack of high attention on this primary, coming at an unusual time for NY, didn’t help.

Now Charlie will win, retire, and pick his replacement, and the show goes on.

A Republican in my neighborhood switched parties a year ago just so he could vote against Charlie in the primary—and then they redistricted and gave us Nadler. The final insult: he couldn’t vote today when there is only a Republican primary because now he’s a Democrat.

[jmaroneps37]

This is a double win for us. It was a finger in the eye for Hispanics from the Democrat establishment - Cuomo endorsed him as did many others - and we get to point to Charlie as a reason NOT to ever let the Democrats in charge again.
Anyone who thinks this will have no effect on Hispanic enthusiasm is wrong. It will add nothing to it so it is a lost opportunity for the Democrats. This is a nice little double header for us.

[hattend]

The only way Charlie is leaving Congress is in a pine box.

Way to go Harlem!

[CPT Clay]

Stupid voters in that district.

[New Jersey Realist]

Ohhh,the stench from that district is reaching me here in South Jersey!

[firebrand]

Note that Charlie might need a recount.
