New York Democrats begin to turn on Charlie Rangel

  New York Democrats are beginning to turn on one of their own–Charlie Rangel. With all of the tax problems that the chairman of the committee that writes the tax laws that we have to abide by is in, Democrats in his own state are beginning to turn on him.

  As the investigations continue to widen around this tax cheat and as Republicans continue to demand that he step down as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Democrats have remained loyal. But now something has happened and the New York Democrats are beginning to have second thoughts about Rangel remaining as head of the powerful committee.

  What has changed? Have New York Democrats had an epiphany? Do they now realize the error of their ways? Are they suddenly now concerned about the tax payers that have to follow the laws that Charlie Rangel writes yet ignores?

 NO!

They don’t give a damn about Rangel’s tax or ethics problems– they couldn’t care less about his tax fraud or he wouldn’t still be chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, they would have demanded his resignation long ago.

  But just let Charlie Rangel’s problems impact them where it hurts the most– their re-election bid– and watch out. All bets are off. These self-centered, selfish politicians who don’t give a damn that Rangel has been ripping off the taxpayers only want him gone now that it can impact their re-election campaign. Democrats are now beginning to worry that Charlie Rangel’s legal problems could hurt them in the 2010 elections, only now are they having second thoughts about supporting this crook.

This shows us where their loyalties lie and what their number one priority is– not protecting the taxpayer but protecting themselves.
