Thy name is partisanship

| October 8, 2009

The Congressional Black Caucus wrote a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi today in defense of Charlie “Taxes? What taxes?” Rangel according to The Hill;

“As members of the Congressional Black Caucus, we support our colleague, Charlie Rangel, Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, and condemn partisan attempts to ignore the well-established, bipartisan ethics process,” they wrote.

“Partisan”? Really? The investigation into Rangel’s serial tax avoidance has gone on for 16 months. Partisanship is the only thing protecting him. Partisans are the only people who are protecting his bloated ass from being booted from the Ways and Means Committee. How many Republicans signed that letter? How many Republicans have been admitted into the CBC over the years?

“Charlie Rangel’s work on these issues is critically important, and we are proud of the thoughtful leadership he provides to the House,” they added. “He has our full support for his work as Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means while a bipartisan ethics review is pending.”

“Thoughtful leadership”? Seriously? Is that the same language they used for Tom Delay during his ethics investigations? No, he was a Republican.

That’s what partisanship looks like.

Congressional black caucus, a racist organization to it’s roots. One good thing may come of it, millions of americans will end up hating welfare riding blacks and join the KKK, again. I already do (hate them), wouldn’t pee on one if they were on fire. Funny what nine months under an idiot can do.

What would the members of a Congressional WHITE Caucus be called?? Anyone??

Ohh… I already got in deep kimchee with the local teacher’s union for asking about when they would celebrate “white history month”….. The Superintendent thought it was funny as h3ll, but the union reps were spittle-flecking angry about the idea.

There’s a really good reason why I am home-schooling the youngest. 🙂

Susan, much like living in the 2nd district in the Madison Wisconsin area with Tammy Baldwin our resident lesbian, ACORN supporting liberal..I feel your pain…

TexasFred..Racists..But you already knew the answer….LOL

Susan

Now Scrapiron – I know you don’t mean to imply that joining the KKK is the appropriate response. Michael Steele and J.C. Watts are persons of color (pc of me huh?) too.

TexasFred

Susan, Steele is THE biggest RINO in the GOP, and the primary reason that I label myself as an INDEPENDENT Conservative…

If Steele is the best the GOP can do, they have even worse problems than thought…

Susan

OK, so we still have J.C. Watts and Lynn Swann and plenty of other hard working people of color – references to joining the KKK due to the actions of a few idiots well, are generally not helpful.

If the GOP takes back Congress, it’s going to be IN SPITE of Michael Steele and the incumbent GOP, not because.

But let’s remember the Klan was a Democrat invention.

Oh,man. Effing despicable doesn’t even begin to describe it.
No wonder why the Pied Piper didn’t know about us Teabagging losers. He was probably told it was such a small thing…

“Sir, pay attention to Rangel’s work. It’s so important that he got over on paying his taxes, hahaha, Sir. You know we all do it, too, so we have to protect ourselves by supporting him. Pay no mind to the dummies in the street. Black power!!”
