The Ethical and Honest Rangel Plays ‘Race Card’!
Rep. Rangel - CBS News
Who’s the new Democrat playing the ‘race card’ in order to scare American’s into accepting Obamacare? You guess it, the most ethical and honest member of Congress – Congressman Rangel (D-NY).
CBS news is reporting the following below… Is it any doubt, that this is a diversion so that Americans forget about the millions of dollars that Rangel somehow forgot to report on his taxes?
That’s right, just another lying Democrat guilty of ignorance in using Turbo Tax.
A major newspaper is calling for his resignation as chairman of the committee that writes tax laws.
And then there’s this: The 79-year-old is under fire for comments he made about race and President Barack Obama.
First, Gov. David Paterson did it. Now, Rep. Rangel is doing it as an ethics probe heats up.
The “it” is playing the race card. Rangel said “bias” and “prejudice” are fueling opposition to health care reform.
Already under fire for a wide range of ethical questions, Rangel played the race card in a health care forum the other night, saying racial bias against President Obama is behind opposition to health care reform.
“Some Americans have not gotten over the fact that Obama is President of the United States. They go to sleep wondering, ‘how did this happen?’”
Rangel also likened the fight to provide health care for the uninsured to the fight for civil rights.
“Why do black people have to bargain for what is theirs? Why do we have to wait for the right to vote? Why can’t we get what God has given us? And that is the right to live as human beings and not negotiate with white southerners and not court the votes. Just do the right thing,” Rangel said.
Rangel’s incendiary remarks come as the congressman filed amended financial reports to the House Ethics Committee admitting that he forgot to report millions of dollars in assets and income.
Can you believe that these men and women are the best America can come up with to lead our nation? What is wrong with the American people when they continue to elect ‘cheats and liars‘ to the US Congress?
Maybe we need a dose of John Adams to remind of us the importance of moral clarity…
Statesmen, my dear Sir, may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone, which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free Constitution is pure virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People in a greater Measure than they have it now, they may change their rulers and the forms of government, but they will not obtain a lasting liberty. ~ John Adams
This creep is Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, in charge of writing our tax code! Pelosi promised to drain the swamp of corruption in Washington. She apparently can’t find the plug. We desperately need term limits.
Right on Clay! Term Limits are a must!
These corrupt Congressman take unprecedented amount of money from special interests, that it is near impossible for them to lose in any election because of their war chest of funds available for advertising, etc.
No one should be in that type of power for over 20 years. It is illogical and dangerous.
Cheers,
