Trading one stinker for another. Hey, Pelosi, this man already has some problems and they will be brought up so you just blew yourself out of the water.

Oh, I bet Bela Pelosi is beside herself wondering how she’s going to contain that level of bats**t crazy when he gets in front of a microphone.

So, you change out one Socialist for another. No big deal.

Both Rangel and Stark are members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. This was founded by Bernie Sanders to promote Socialism in the House. The Reds march on.

referring to a former GOP lawmaker as a “little fruitcake”

He should know!

...and then this from babs lee.

“We regret that Chairman Charles Rangel is taking a temporary leave of absence during this very critical time in our efforts to turn the economy around. He has been an effective chairman and has shown tremendous leadership on many issues and dedicated service to his constituents,” she said.

Only a raving lunatic believes government is in the business of turning the economy around, unless they are buying planes ships and guns at the rate of WWll. And interestingly enough the people bought bonds to assist in paying for those purchases.

More of the same:

“We recognize that Chairman Rangel did not want this matter to be distractions from our efforts to create jobs and revitalize our economy.

One must be even more crazy if they think government creates job except in the circumstance mentioned above which will never happen under the present administration, and I would suggest, at this time isn’t needed.

Great. This is no improvement over Rangle, in fact Pete Stark will be much worse. He absolutely hates Republicans, and they pretty much hate him right back.

Truer words were never spoken. I’ve just been reviewing Pete Stark’s Greatest Hits on YouTube and I’m dumbfounded.

The man is jaw-droppingly arrogant, breathtakingly obnoxious and unbelievably stoopid. I can’t wait to see him wielding the Ways and Means chairman’s gavel and mouthing off to his heart’s content. He’ll be so high-profile the MSM will be unable to contain the damage. After just a few days of him being in the primetime spotlight Rangel will have to be officially ousted and a permanent replacement annointed. It’s going to be popcorn time till then.

The man is jaw-droppingly arrogant, breathtakingly obnoxious and unbelievably stoopid.

Say it ain’t so.

You know, one has to really dig deep, to find the character flaws you mention above, in a Republican. I’m sure there must be a few in the Congress, but on the dem side of things you have to use a microscope to find someone without those qualities they seem to value so highly.

Two questions are begged:

1 Just why is that?

2. Am I off my rocker??

3. Have I used too large a brush???

Ok, I know it’s three questions, and there are probably more.
