I should have explained more clearly that Texas Rep. Gene Green is not the chairman of the full committee -- as my column could be read to suggest. Green chaired the four-member Ethics subcommittee that oversaw the Rangel investigation and is responsible for the report.

Bill, no one cares about the machinations of Charlie Rangel. There are bigger fish to fry. I'm sure the GOP and their tea party allies will harp on this ad nauseum. They nothing positive to offer since all they've done is obstruct every reform the Democrats have proposed. They are nothing but obstructive yet they have no proposals of their own. They really have nothing to offer the American people but fear and loathing.

The Rangle charges are only "yet another" reason the Dems will lose the house! They will, definitely, lose the WH too perhaps before their time ....that is, if we are all lucky!

If Rangel goes through process and found guilty I don't think that will cause House to be lose by Democrats. Not for that reason. I am a Conservative and hope we win House.
People do wrong and party affiliation has nothing to do with doing wrong.
Speaker Pelosi promise to "clean the swamp". Is another of her fairy tales.
