Draining the Swamp

Obama and his Dems are always confiscating, in increasing amounts, the earnings of citizens to pay off fat cats and give raises to themselves and government employees for little or no (badly done) work. Of course they can’t take care of their own finances as evidenced by our Vice President that is in trouble with the Federal Election Commission. He’s been fined $133,000 and only has $82,000 in his campaign coffers. The Bamster still has a little over $3 million and has asked the FEC to let Barry pay off little Joey’s debt.

No skullduggery in that story, but racist, liar and thief Charlie Rangel has been using tax payer money, and not paying his taxes, to live life writ large. He was found guilty by the House Ethics Committee this week on 11 of 13 ethics violations. The committee voted 9-1 to censure him. That used to mean something, but Dem politicians have the moral values of a goat, so he’ll have Nancy Pelosi tell him he’s been a bad boy. Rangel will keep his seat. Speaks volumes here that he, known to be one of the most corrupt politicians in congress, got reelected; the people in his district apparently approve of racism, lying, corruption and theft.  

Like most Dems, they’re a bunch of juvenile crybabies. This FEC hearing was two years in the making. This past spring Rangel was saying he wasn’t guilty of anything, to bring it on. A couple months ago he fired his lawyer. During the hearing he was wah wah wah, I don’t have a lawyer, don’t have money to get a lawyer, and even walked out saying he was being denied due process. Then when the verdict comes down wah wah wah those guys did that and he wasn’t even there! Of course he’s in denial, saying “there’s no evidence of corruption”. Sorry Charlie. I’m sure your corruption runs a lot deeper that what you were caught doing.

Then there’s the corrupt lying racist Maxine Waters. She’s up on corruption charges too. It’s pretty bad when the corrupt Dem politicians can’t cover up for their own people any more; their sleaziness gets so deep and wide. She’s in hot water because she sponsored legislation that got her husband some big bucks. He was on the payroll of a lobbying group that Waters passed the legislation for. This is another sleaze ball that, like the bottom sucking Rangel, got reelected even with all kinds of corruption having been exposed. She’s gotten an extension on her hearing because:

 “The Committee voted to recommit the matter regarding Representative Maxine Waters to the investigative subcommittee due to materials discovered that may have had an effect on the investigative subcommittee’s transmittal to the Committee.”

Let’s hope it’s something even worse and she gets some truly bad fine and booted out altogether.

When she came to power, Pelosi said she would drain the swamp. Didn’t happen. Now she could no longer protect these two of dozens of bottom suckers in the swamp she needed to survive. Now she’s out of power (though she thinks she’s still the honcho bottom sucker), so the Dem swamp is getting a little smaller, but done by voters. I don’t think she thought draining the swamp was to be accomplished by being such a loser leader that over sixty of her bottom sucking corrupt friends would be voted out of the swamp.   

The Black Caucus, Congressman Rangel and the Double Standard

The Congressional Black Caucus, still existing in a 'post-racial' administration in Amerika, are saying Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), should keep his seat as Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee (that writes tax law) and no doubt has the support of tax cheat Treasury Secretary Geitner (that didn't pay much of his taxes, and aggressively pursues 'tax cheats') is giving the guy a pass.

Rangel has submitted amended financial disclosure forms nearly doubling his net worth. Amended forms show Rangel had at least $650,000 in undisclosed income. He didn't disclose to the IRS or on his financial disclosure forms $75,000 in rental income for a beach villa in the Dominican Republic. He didn't claim three primary residences, or that he had for four rent-controlled apartments, or that he used congressional letterhead stationary to solicit donations for an education center bearing his name at City College of New York, all of which I think may possibly violate House rules. You think?

Black Caucus members: Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.)- “I do not see any change in any time in the future or near future.” “I think it’s important for the ethics committee to play the role it should and be allowed to do its job.

“I think he’s a very strong chairman and has done a great job with the healthcare issue on the committee.” “Right before the recess, he chaired the committee for several hours — and did it very well.”

Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-Pa.):“Members amend financial disclosure reports all the time — they are amendable.” “This is what we want members of Congress to do if there are mistakes.”

Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.): “He knows how to pull people together — he’s a coalition-builder.” “I would encourage people to look at the whole Rangel.”

Rangel has never built a coalition. He's an extreme partisan. To him a compromise is when weak RHINO's go along with him. He's a race baiter and tax cheat. If he can make all the "mistakes" regarding his own tax liability, what's he doing writing tax law? I guess it's okay with the Dems and Obama since they have Geitner enforcing tax laws he doesn't obey himself.

Of course if Rangel were a Republican, he would already have been forced to resign his position and be under investigation.

So in a post-partisan, post racial Amerika, we have hyper-racists and partisans, members of Congress, turning a blind eye to the criminal activity of one of "their own". Good grief.
