Charlie Rangel to Democrats: “Hey, if I was you, I may want me to go away too”


This crook should be locked up for invading paying taxes like any working American would be!

Rep. Charlie Rangel “Have the ethics committee expedite this,” he pleaded with his fellow House members. “Don’t leave me swinging in the wind until November! If this is an emergency, and I think it is, to help our state and local governments out, what about me?! I don’t want anybody to feel embarrassed, awkward. Hey, if I was you, I may want me to go away too. I am not going away. I am here!”

The House Ethics Committee has brought 13 violations against the New York Democrat, who was forced to step down from his chairmanship of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee in March.

Democratic leaders are worried that starting ethics trials against Rangel and fellow Congressional Black Caucus member Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., on the eve of the midterms could hurt Democrats in swing districts and cost them control of the House. Attempts to get Rangel and Waters to step down have been unsuccessful. Republicans have jumped on the ethics problems as evidence that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has failed to “drain the swamp” of ethical violations inside the Beltway, as she promised to do. SOURCE

Financial industry trend favors Republican candidates


Looks as if Wall Street has awaken and seen that Obama’s policies are not working for the better of our Country!

The preliminary findings by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics suggest that a financial industry trend favoring Republican candidates, which began in late 2009, may have accelerated as reform legislation progressed in the run-up to November’s congressional mid-term elections.

The Washington research group found that individuals and political action committees connected with the finance, insurance and real estate sectors gave 68 percent of their money to Republican interests in June, just before President Barack Obama signed financial reform into law.

Nearly opposite conditions held sway in March 2009, when 70 percent of the industry’s contributions went to Democrats.

Wall Street executives accuse Democrats of embracing costly reforms as an election-year tactic to win favor from voters who are angry at incumbents and blame big banks, securities firms and insurers for economic woes including high unemployment.SOURCE

Down Goes Obama Democrats Following (Rating 10 AUG 2010)

Obama keeps spending when the American people have said for him to stop! He has a poor performance record from his first day in the White House after telling Hillary Clinton during the campaign that he was ready on day one! Was he ready, this voter says NO HE WAS NOT READY and STILL NOT READY!

24% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-six percent (46%) Strongly Disapprove, lowest Approval Index rating yet for Obama. SOURCE
