Will he or won't he?

Will Charlie Rangel resign on his own now that he has been charges with ethics charges?

Will Pelosi make him resign?

Will Obama ask him to resign?

Will the DNC ask him to resign?

Or will he stick around and be used by the Republicans against "Drain the swamp" Pelosi in the upcoming election?

Did McCain resign on his own after he was charged with ethics charges? How about Tom Delay?

You gonna help Kerry pony up the half a mil he owes Massachussetts on his "luxury yacht", Short timer? He docked the SOB anywhere he could outside of the state to avoid paying the tax on it. C'mon, Short timer, help a brotha out.

Not even a unique idea- as ranchers and construction outfits been doing that for years- until the states cracked down and made them get a plate for each state they operated in or prorates....License plates that could run you close to $1000 in Montana (no sales tax) could be had for a hundred or so in ND....
I remember a Highway Patrolman that got nailed for doing about the same- but he was licensing his in a different county to save a few bucks....
If I remember right- most US owned ships operate under a foreign flag to avoid taxes and fees....
Kind of like all the Delaware Corporations or corporations that operate out of some foreign island to avoid their share of taxes...Or all the thousands of US Fatcats getting Foreclosure Phil Gramms bank to help smuggle their money into Swiss accounts so they could evade taxes.. :(

GREED has overtaken morals, ethics, and honesty....And it doesn't follow any partisan lines....

Maybe not, BUT, when someone with an (R) behind their name is suspected, they are crucified in the press. If a person has a (D) behind their name, it's not newsworthy and just considered bidness as usual.

McCain & Delay were exonerated.

Rangel will probably face criminal charges.

So did "the Bridge to Nowhere" Ted Stevens- and Duke Cunningham ( a guy I really liked)... Neither stepped down even tho under Federal Indictments...Stevens had to get voted out- Cunningham didn't resign til after he entered guilty pleas to federal charges of conspiracy to commit bribery, mail fraud, wire fraud and tax evasion- involving Millions $ in bribes...
So it isn't just a Liberal or Dem "thang"...

Ya notice ot didn't even answer the question. He just tried to divert attention to something else. Each case stands on its own.

is any one running against Pislusi ?

I feel it will be a good commercial.. and worth running, against any incumbent..



has been reelected 10 more times with no substantive opposition, winning by an average of 75 percent of the vote. She has not participated in candidates' debates since her 1987 race against Harriet Ross.[13] She has the distinction of contributing the most among members of Congress to other congressional campaigns because she is in a safe district and does not need the campaign funds.

How would I know? My SWAG is they will work a deal- he will resign and that way never go to a full blown ethics hearing- then he will face criminal indictments....
But who knows- all these old Fatcat multiterm politicians think their sh*t don't stink- they should get extra privileges (look at Rehberg) and they can do no wrong...

Didn't Holder drop the Charges on Stevens?

Oh wait he also dropped the charges on the Black Panthers so I guess just because Holder drops charges doesn't mean he is innocent does it? :wink: .
