Some punishment.... they shake their finger at him and say, “Shame! Shame!”
We’d be in jail.

“Three Republicans who favored reprimand over censure were Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), Don Young (R-Alaska), and Ron Paul (R-Texas).”
Duly noted.

Following the vote, Rangel walked down to the well of the House to receive his public rebuke, alone and looking somber, as Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) read a list of the violations.

Good. Can we send him to jail now?Unfortunately, nothing is going to happen to him. His oh, so severe punishment was standing in front of Congress and having Nan read aloud his misdeeds. Then he got to return to his seat as if nothing had happened.

A House Censure... similar in effectiveness as a UN Security Council sternly worded resolution... “Stop! Or we’ll tell you to stop again!!”

Why was Rangel so mortified over congressional censure, begging for a reprimand, when all it comes down to is a half-hearted tongue lashing from some chick who isn't even going to be Speaker of the House next month?
I could stand up through this ridiculous 'censure' with a smile on my face eating jumbo shrimp cocktail the whole time pretending I'm not even listening to their stupid crap.
This punishment means nothing. Less than nothing.

Maxine Waters. I would prefer to see her censured and expelled....but I ‘m a day dreamer.

I watched the entire thing on C-SPAN. House members first voted for an amendment and then voted for the censure. Both times the chairman or speaker took an oral vote first and said it was his opinion that the amendment passed and that the vote for censure failed. Both times he was proven wrong and by a very wide margin. It’s amazing how the rules allowed for that bastard to try and hijack the vote based on his opinion when he was clearly lying both times.

Ron Paul actually voted for the censure after he voted for the amendment

Ron Paul is a loon and he proves it every time he opens his mouth.

Charlie is lucky this didn’t happen in 2011 — they would’ve thrown the book at him as he deserves. This whole affair just shows that Charlie belongs to the privileged democrat class.
