Corruptocrat "Temporarily" Steps Down
Yielding to actual bipartisan pressure, Democrat crook Charlie Rangel is leaving his chairmanship of the House Ways & Means committee. Isn't that nice? The guy who stewards tax legislation being investigated by the House Ethics committee for, well, avoiding paying taxes.
It was the corporate funded Carribean vacations that finally got him. But his shady practices like using rent-controlled housing for dubious purpose, and soliciting contributions for a university center named for him have all raised eyebrows in the Capitol.
But is anyone surprised? The "most ethical Congress ever" is hardly that. There has been a whole lot of backdoor dealing and political payoffs from the "Transparent" administration and Congressional leadership. Is it any wonder that their approval ratings are the lowest in American history?
Rangel isn't an aberration, he's a poster child. Hopefully the people of Harlem will help the 79 year old thief transform that "temporary" to permanent, but since he's a Democrat, I won't hold my breath.

Wait, are you saying that a politician is dishonest? My mind is completely blown.

I bet Rangle's crib was decorated with props from Shaft.
Lotsa gold plated swag lamps and paintings of large breasted Nubian princesses on black velvet...

Probably just sloppily bad writing on your part, but "their" could be read as including the Obama administration. I doubt the approval ratings of Obama and his administration are anywhere near the lowest in history. IIRC, W, for example, finished with an approval rating in the low 20s.
As for the Congress, the polls I've seen suggest congressional Repubs are held in even lower regard than Dems. If that's the reality, how do you account for that?

Congress is run by the Democrats. Looney lefties hate them because they aren't going far enough into Marxism. Conservatives are disgusted with the Nancy and Harry show. Obama is no longer a dreamy candidate, but an ineffectual executive surrounded by partisan stooges ans his sinking poll numbers show that Americans are waking up to the bullshit that "hope 'n change" really was.
2010 will be a bloodbath for Democrats, which is why so many are retiring right now. You can try to blame Republicans, but you're just pissing into the wind.

Your explanation for congressional Repubs having lower approval ratings than the Dems is . . . ?
written by Kermit , March 03, 2010
The topic isn't Congressional Repubs. It's Charley Rangel, corrupt Democrat.
Try to focus.

Have you heard that politicians are like bananas, they are all yellow, hand together and are all crooked...

They are also like diapers. They should be changed often, and for the same reason.

You think this is was only about Rangel?

Kermit couldn't coherently answer this, so I'll ask you (and the other rightwingers here) -

Kermit didn't allow you to threadjack and change the subject.

The Party of Scrubs was forced to pull the plug on the greasy rat they picked to replace Rangel..via Malkin:
http://michellemalkin.com/2010/03/04/dems-throw-pete-stark-raving-mad-under-the-bus/
"After one day on the job replacing corruptocrat Charlie Rangel as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Pete Stark is handing over the gavel to Democrat Rep. Sander Levin."
Turns out Stark is a crooked as Rangel; wonder how long it will take to find out Levin has ben stuffing his pockets too.
These people are below contempt.

Anti-Strib: What would you cut from the state budget?
Odin: JASON LEWIS IS STUPID!!!
Anti-Strib: Corrupt democrat resigns.
Odin: POLLS SAY REPUBLICANS ARE STUPID!!
Anti-Strib: Obama uses prompter Bush does not-
Odin: GLENN BECK IS STUPID!!
I think I may see a pattern here...

Tom, Pete Stark is a stark-raving lunatic. He's the one who declared "George Bush likes to see our young soldiers get their heads blown off". The man is too effing nutz for even Pelosi to to endorse.
Gotta love that Democrat party.

Pete Stark was my state rep when I lived in Cali....he has the distinction of being the target of my first use of the word "smarmy".
He was a POS twenty years ago, and he's the same POS today...only older and moldier.
