Tom Delay was forced out of office, and still hasn’t been prosecuted for anything(and I would bet he won’t be).

Get Rangel out!

You beat me to it. Tom Delay was an effective GOP whip. Thus, he had to be destroyed. I'm not from TX, but didn't a rat prosecutor indict him three or four years ago?

By GOP rules (not the House or Rat) he had to step down from his leadership position and the threat of a trial lost him the election. Do I have that right?

William Jefferson, Democrat from Louisiana, has not even been touched as of yet so why would we expect a much more powerful guy like Rangel to be worried. The Republicans immediately step down or get booted but the Dems hang on. Each vote is important to their power so ethics violations are just a bothersome speed bump.
