Examiner Editorial: Remove Rangel from tax panel

Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., understands something that continues to escape House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., is radioactive, owing to multiple investigations of his serial failures to disclose millions of dollars worth of income and investments.

Rangel had contributed more than $19,000 to Welch, but the Vermonter recently sent it back. That was a good decision because Welch is a member of the House Ethics Committee, which is conducting one of the investigations of Rangel. But it shouldn’t be necessary to be on the ethics panel in order to understand that Rangel’s actions disgrace Congress, make him unfit to chair the powerful tax-writing committee, and render campaign donations from him as dirty money. Over the years, Rangel has given more than $2.1 million to House colleagues. Each of the many recipients of Rangel’s tainted dough should give it back. This newspaper will track those who do and those who don’t.

Of course not...but then again, under a more sane Speaker of the House, he would be.

Hopefully the situation can be remedied November 2, 2010.

Never happen, Rat appointed prosecutors and investigators will never do a thing except phony up charges against innocent conservatives, and guilty Republicans (except RINOs), and Republicans in control won't go after anyone except pro life picketers.

Let Nancy Pelosi know what you think of Rangel’s corruption. DEMAND she remove him as chairman of the Ways and Means committee.

Yes, by all means, let Al Capone know that one of his thugs is parked next to an expired meter.

You really don't know what's in control of this country, do you?

The Examiner. The Fox News of Newsprint?

Not a 'real' newspaper, huh? it's obvious they have a 'perspective'. How dare they publish things critical of the hope & changey party...
