quade 4 #4 February 26, 2010 QuoteHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared to defend Rangel from the charges. In the Democrats you'll find supporters and detractors. For a person to be chastised by the Republican party he has to murder somebody and even then, as long as it was a Democrat he murdered it still wouldn't be that big of a deal.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't even pretend to be non partisan, can you? I'd love to see you support this BS with actual facts. Let's see the long list of censured Democrats and the non censured GOP murderers. Pelosi isn't just some random Democrat supporter. She's the Speaker. And it's already been made clear that non paying your taxes isn't a disqualifier for heading the Treasury department.

Blogo isn't the worst example out there, but the guy was arrested by the Feds and about to sell one of Congress's seats. That's likely to get action. Libby is a lousy example as he was 1) not an elected official and 2) executing policy from above. But you still need to explain our SecTreas to get any traction on this overall claim.

mnealtx 0 #20 March 2, 2010 QuoteDoes anybody really care that Rangel has a (d) after his name? Nancy does! QuoteWASHINGTON (CNN) -- The senior leadership of House Democrats, citing three rebukes of Rep. Tom DeLay by the House ethics committee in a week, called Thursday for him to be ousted as majority leader. "Mr. DeLay has proven himself to be ethically unfit to lead the party," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told reporters. "Republicans must answer: Do they want an ethically unfit person to be their party leader, or do they want to remove the ethical cloud that hangs over the Capitol?" she said.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.
