I've said it here literally -- OK, figuratively -- a million times: Support your ideals, not people, because too many people will eventually let you down. Right now, is there any Republican causing more damage to the goal of a more just and a better America than Democrat Charlie Rangel. I think not:

A House investigative committee on Thursday charged New York Rep. Charles Rangel with multiple ethics violations, a blow to the former Ways and Means chairman and an election-year headache for Democrats.

He doesn't have to be a headache for anyone, anymore. The Harlem Democrat served his country admirably many years ago fighting in the Korean Conflict, earning a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart, and now he can serve Americans one final time...by resigning, immediately.

    This Clown has been a disgrace for a long time! How did he amass $25mil in assets? Why is he not in Jail? Attached is the picture you should have used for any Blog on Rangel. http://sharprightturn.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/charlie-rangel.jpg Best political headline and pic of all time. You stink Bunch.

    This charge is a resume enhancer for the democrat. He won't resign and the corrutocrats won't force him out. You are delusional if you think Stretch Pelosi won't support him. If you want him out you must be a racist Bunch. What is the journolist direction on this?

    Longshanks: You little row- house weasel. You would have voted for this guy 10 times. This is the clown writing tax policy for this country. Time for you to head for the park and feed the pigeons.

    Waiting to see how much more mileage Will tries to milk out of the Palin typo. Reminds me of a teacup Chihuahua that has managed to get someone's pantleg ensnared in it's 'fangs' and won't let go. The most unsurprising thing about Rangel is that liberals are surprised about Rangel.

    ===}}} Waiting to see how much more mileage Will tries to milk out of the Palin typo. {{{=== Typo. Hilarious. She used the word "refudiate" two different times, days apart. It really is amazing just how easily some "conservatives" are duped.

    Bronze Star and Purple Heart... Why is everything always about color? Can't you look past our hue and judge people based on their character?
