I voted for the Socialist Party candidate instead of this fool. What a joker. This guy is a dinosaur, not one of the younger, better, progressive democrats we deserve.

WHO voted for this man a few weeks ago?? I would say I don't understand how he got re-elected, but people really will vote for anyone with a D next to his name.

Give the guy a break he doesn't know tax returns. He's too busy with the Ways and Means of cheating the everybody. The people at H&R Block are the ones to blame.

We need term limits to get some new criminals in to replace the old criminals. The new ones might be greedier, but at least their acts wouldn't be worn out. Rangel is a big Drug Warrior, isn't he? Corruption is only to be expected from such people.

This is insane. How long will we have to hear about this? Get rid of this mofo. Doing the "good" work doesn't excuse the fact that he is being a massive sh*thead.

He deserves one of those rent stabilized cells on Rykers. He's worked hard all his life for the people who live there.

Fortunately for Rangel, there are no property taxes assessed on jail cells.

Well Charlie Rangel is a crooked son of a bitch, like most of Congress. He is more proof that we need some serious term limits to get some turnover and to allow for some real change. Without it, we get in the middle of the District of Columbia 400+ scumbags living high on the hog and ignoring the rules they force others to live by.

I would think JAIL would be appropriate for tax fraud. It would be for most any other citizen.

Now that the Democrats have clear control of Congress, they should clean house. Rangel wouldn't be able to whine about a partisan investigation if it's started by Democrats. Although I wouldn't put it past him to call it racially motivated. Maybe he was a good man once, although I can't speak to that. But if he was, he's walking, talking proof of the old maxim about power corrupting.

...and yet he somehow keeps getting re-elected. keep voting the party line people and you get what you deserve -- with either party. it's a shame so few hold their elected leaders accountable for anything.
