Rep.Charles Rangel is absolutely correct to continue with his life. The Blue Dogs need to run their campaign and stop complaining about the black man from New York.

Go get 'em, Charles !

Accused or MISUSING Congressional Stationary. 

Your gotta be joking.  Chuck types?

This man has represented Harlem for twenty years.  Harlem?  Twenty years? 

Where do I get the idea this is a lot of nonsense.

The rest of the charges are just as hideous.  He failed to pay taxes on rental income from a beachfront home in the Dominican Republic. 

This was like an audit from the IRS, yes?  No?  Who PREPARED the document, H&R Block?  This is ridiculous.  The IRS needs to examine the documents in question and ask the good Congressman to kindly correct it, IF it is necessary.

Chuck submitted an incomplete financial disclosure statement.  Now I know for a fact there is not ONE House Representative that does his own accounting.  Representative Rangel needs to look into the inconsistencies and correct them if necessary. 

This is outrageous. 

Favors and benefits from donors to the Rangel Center under circumstances which might be construed ... as influencing the performance of his governmental duties."

? Might be Construed ? 

? Might be Construed ?

If the ranking Republican, Rep. Michael McCaul from Texas, hasn't got a rock solid case AFTER TWO YEARS of investigation, then he needs to throw the entire mess out.

This is nothing but election year hogwash.  I don't even want to hear it anymore.

Charles Rangel has performed exemplary work representing Harlem.

You know, I don't even like some of Rep. Rengel's views..  I don't agree with his view of mandatory military service for every young person in the country.  It is too much power to be 'at will' use by Republicans like Bush and Cheney whom would like to start WWIII. 

There isn't anything here and any accounting errors need to be corrected if necessary. 

If I were Charles Rengel, I'd sue McCaul for harassment and defamation of character and discrimination based on race !

Don't think about it Charles, just file the suit.  This is after two years of investigation and this is all they could come up with.  A two year investigation alone is harassment.  Two years of inappropriate pressure on Rep. Rangel when he was leader of Appropriations.  I don't think so !!!!!!!!

When McCaul couldn't get 'his way' in Appropriations he decided to put the Chair through the 'wringer' to have a change in leadership to try it all over again !

No wiretaps or money laundering or prostitutes or anything like that.  No rubbing elbows with Abramoff?  No?  There is nothing here but accoutning errors and poor decisions by his staff in the use of stationary.  You know after twenty years I really think any people receiving a note on Congressional stationary regarding re-election, if that is accurate at all, already knew Charles was in Congress.  You know?  This is outrageous.  This is NOT influence peddling, folks.  It is a PRINTING error.  Hello?
