Democrats Stand By Corrput Tax Cheat Charlie Rangel, Defeat GOP Amendment To Remove Him From Committee Chairmanship

The corrupt Democrat machine strikes again, as the party stands by tax cheat chair of the Ways & Means Committee, Charlie Rangel (WCBS-TV).

Rangel is the fourth most senior member of the House, so it must have been acutely embarrassing to have all his dirty laundry aired before Congress. Allegation after allegation took a full 17 minutes to read, and that was just the first time.

"The man who is in charge of writing the nation's tax laws doesn't pay his federal income or property taxes," said Rep. John Carter, R-Texas.

...Democrats brushed back the third attempt to have Rangel step down while the long running -- 16 months and counting -- House ethics probe continues. But it had to be an acid indigestion moment for Rangel to have the list of his ethics problems read twice.

It's as much a problem for House Democratic leaders as for Rangel himself.

Once by Congressman Carter, once by the clerk … for 30 minutes Democrats were helpless to stop it.

...Afterwards Congressman Carter charged that Democrats had employed a double standard, saying its okay for Rangel to avoid paying taxes while regular Americans face massive penalties and interest charges for the same infractions.

It's called the "Culture of Corruption," under the leadership of "Do Nothing" Nancy Pelosi, who promised the "most ethical Congress" in history.
