this is an individual that disgust me. an individual that screams he’s helping the middle class and poor all the while he’s screwing them to the n’th degree by allowing big finance to have preferential treatment when it comes to paying and then receiving taxpayer support - meaning the middleclass pays 15 - 30% and big financial gets taxpayers support in addition to paying lower than 15% in taxes. there are so many representatives in the black caucus that increase their family and friends pay, however their districts stay exactly the same…sad, very sad
And in other news, American Crossroads astroturfed themselves a primary win for Elise Stefanik. Whoever goes against this twit better be ready to mortgage the house, the farm, and anything else, because Karl Rove looks like he’s got a vested interest in having one of Dubya’s people in the House.
You all have heard the old saying: “You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time.”. Well Rangel has held his seat for 44 years so, sure that saying applies to him…But, He must have, on a long term basis, brought things back to his district that people liked or he would not have been elected 22 times…
On the other hand, most of the tea party candidates are “fooling most of the people some of the time” and will not have a snowball’s chance in hell of ever keeping their congressional seats for an extended period…
But they can still do considerable damage to our country in the short term…
Rangel’s one that really needs to retire to be sent home.
Too bad it looks like it’s not happening this time.
charlie is a disgrace. his crook opponent was no better. as an nyc resident i am disgusted by these machine crooks.
