Charley Rangel better get hopping


Might as well impeach him. Or, did he pay what he owed?

To start with, I like Rangel but I think he is in trouble, with cause.
The question is not whether Rangel paid up when he was caught. It is
why the guy who chairs the committee that writes the tax code can
claim he didn't know what it says. He could walk 50 feet down the hall
and talk to the guys who actually wrote the language in the tax code.
That still does not address the lies he told on his financial
disclosure statements.
I think it may be time for Charley to retire to spend more time with
his family.



I never like it when someone is around the public trough too long. Time for
new voices all around in Congress.

I agree with you there.


I'd like to see some sort of term limits. Perhaps not two terms, perhaps
four for senators (if they can't get it done in 24 years....), perhaps five
for House members (10 years is plenty and they need to be more in touch with
people than senators), but I'm a generous person.

Term limits implies that we are too stupid to put the good ol boys out
to pasture when they no longer respond to the wishes and needs of,
collectively, we the people. Come to think of it, we need term limits as
a safeguard against ourselves. Two terms is plenty for both houses.
