You mean a MAX of MAYBE a reprimand after hundreds of findings of wrong-doing?

That the Democrats would suddenly find corruption in two individuals of African descent right before the election….

I smell theater, not governance.

All Democrats, too. Funny that.

Maxine will play the race card this weekend, or at the very least early next week. It’s her MO.

In addition to being one of the dumbest Congresscritters, she is also one of the biggest racists there too.

will not be sent to the back of the bus but rather under the bus. I can see that one coming–five weeks of home meetings and he will be gone.

I am not sure about Maxine’s crime as it does not appear to be much different then what Frank and others did for their home town banks–on second thought we need a more complete invesigation.

Yes, Democrats don’t drain swamps. The just let festering puss build up until the voters have to cut it out. Democrats are too ignorant and overreaching to understand the public. They essentially are a group of special interests gathered together to sway political power. This is why they are so bad at governing. They have no core conscience or beliefs other than power. Very often they are at odds with each other but are too dumb to realize it.

Let’s hear it Maxine. You are just a poor black being set upon by whitey. The problem Max is that this is your party. They tend to eat the weak.

Yes, you will have the Democrat finger shook at you. The problem is that those that get the shaken finger generally don’t stay around long after that. Notice the abandonment of Obama? Well it will begin to split the Democrats even further.

Love your headline titles, Moe!

I watched the clip of Ms. Waters regarding her “knowledge” of mortgage interest principles. In that light, the link to the Politco.article detailing her sitting on the board of a bank is even more enlightening:

“Waters’ case revolves around allegations that she improperly intervened with federal regulators to help a bank that her husband owned stock in and on whose board he once served.”

Her birth home. The irony of it all was not lost on me when I discovered that she was from a neighborhood “town” not too far from where I live. You see, this old town has lost a lot of its apparent former glory. It is a literal shell of a place. Cut up and given to surrounding communities and the St. Louis Airport, what’s left is mostly vacant lots, a corrupt “city hall” and police department – if it can be called that – and a few homes along with a fenced in apartment complex where most of the 3~400 residents live.

I’ll tell you what this Democrat would do, I’d be socia… soc… putting myself behind bars! lol

I’m not surprised at all that Waters would chose the same route as Rangel. I’d noted in a prior thread that Rangel wouldn’t get anything serious if he was found guilty by his peers. What needs to happen is civil charges need to be brought up so that both of the crooks can go to jail and get their just rewards.

I thought ethics violations were resolved via hearings, not trials. In past ethics investigations, I can’t recall anything resembling a trial with a “judge,” a “prosecutor,” an advocate for the defendant, and a jury.

Once the ethics subcommittee decides to proceed to a full committee ethics investigation, doesn’t the full ethics committee review the evidence and then issue a recommendation (censure, reprimand, etc), which the full House then votes on?

But Rangel’s were always ecstatic when he got away with something

The national association for the advancement (absolution) of corrupt politicians.

I have a better question:
Why is this women in Congress?

Would you rather be tried by your friends or your enemies? They know the Republicans are about to take power, and they know they will be eager to dig into the dirt. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rangel initiated his own “investigation,” one way or another, knowing a slap on the wrist is inevitable and preferable to what a true investigation and trial might yield.

It’s Sheila Jackson-Lee, not Shirley.

“DEMOCRATS DO NOT DRAIN SWAMPS. That’s because swamps are wetlands, and thus must be protected by the full power of the federal government,”

Love it.

That would be a great advertisement, except that the non-political wonks (most people) wouldn’t get the “swamp” reference.

I will make one prediction- that they will both be re-elected by their constituents. The more things change, the more they remain the same.

But since there is no actual Republican leadership willing to force the MSM to pay attention, the question is this:
Will we have yet another missed opportunity to point out that Republicans, when confronted with corruption do something about it that involves cleaning up, while democrats see corruption as a failure in message control?
We have Chicago machine political hacks running the country.
Why is that so unworthy of outrage?
