Another Lying Liberal

Dontcha just hate all those lying liberals who said they were gonna leave the country if Bush was elected and they're still here? Well here we go again. We go yet another lying liberal. It is none other than Charlie Rangel, congresscritter from Harlem. You've seen him on all the talk shows spewing his liberal bullshit.

Rep. Charles Rangel, dean of the city's congressional delegation, said yesterday he may quit Congress if Democrats don't win back the House in November.

Ya notice he's hedging his bets by saying "he may quit". That means he probably won't. After all, he's been in Congress for 35 years and I'm sure he loves all the imperial trapping and perks a "public servant" gets.

How in the heck can we call these assholes "public servants"? They're little emperors with their own little fiefdoms. They get a raise every other year. They've got a great health plan. They've got a great retirement plan. They don't have to obey laws like the rest of us.

For example, what do you think would have happened to one of us if we would have slugged a Capitol Cop? We'd be on the floor with a set of cuffs on us.

Howza 'bout drunk driving like Patrick Kennedy? We would have spent a night in jail. He got a ride home.

It's the other way around. We're the servants. At least that's the way we're treated until three months before the election.

Assholes! And we let them get away with it.

But I digress.

The 76-year-old Rangel is the ranking Democrat on the powerful House Ways and Means Committee and is in line to become chairman - but only if Democrats pick up at least 15 seats to regain control of the House this November.

As much as I would like to throw the Republicans out of the House because they've been spending like Dimocrats, there are three things that terrify me:

1. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Yeah. Let's have an over the hill San Francisco hippie as Speaker of the House. If we ever needed some moderate Dimocrats, now's the time.

2. Charlie Rangel as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. That is only the strongest committee in the House.

3. The rest of the barking moonbats who would be committee chairmen. What committee would John Conyers chair? Would it be the Armed Forces Committee? Ouch!

My friend Michael and I, who are both disgusted with the Republicans in the House and Senate, have decided that the best configuration of our gummint would be Dimocrats in control of the House, Republicans in control of the Senate, and a Republican as president. By that, we mean a real Republican, not a RINO like Dubya or McCain. Michael thinks McCain is a real Republican. I think he's a RINO.

I could hold my nose and vote for Rudy for his leadership skills if he would diligently prosecute the GWOT and be fiscally conservative. I doubt if Rudy could get through the primaries because of his stand on gun control and his stand on abortion.

With the Republicans in control of the Executive banch and the Senate, they could continue the move of the judiciary to the right and get more judges in who actually believe in the Constitution. Of course, it would be nice if we also had some politicians who actually believed in the Constitution, but I guess I must be asking too much for that.

With a split legislature, I would hope that there would be enough fighting over the budget that we might actually have a president who would veto some spending bills. I'm probably asking too much there also.

But back to Rangel.

"I don't know what positive role I can play sitting on the bench in the minority," Rangel told the Daily News yesterday. "It's like being in a ballgame and never getting a chance to be up at bat."

C'mon Charlie, you could go on talk shows just like you do now.

But Rangel, a Korean War vet and Bronze Star recipient, said he fully expects to be reelected this fall and has no immediate plans to hang up his congressional spurs. If Republicans do retain the House, he said he'd serve out as much of his term "as necessary" to assure a smooth transition, possibly the full two years but possibly less, based upon community input.

Charlie ain't going anywhere. He enjoys being one of the most powerful politicians in New York. He'll probably die in ofice.

By the way Dimocrats, don't count on automatically taking over Congress in the fall. Even though the Republicans are trying their best to alienate their base and lose control of the House, you guys are trying even harder to not let them. You have to have sumpin' more to run on than Bush is evil. You booger eatin' moh-rons keep trying to come up with some sort of platform to run on and it is such a bunch of horsecrap that every month you come up with a new message. That's not how you win elections.

Fortunately, they're all at Kos, and he'll take them down in flames. If the Dimocrats take the House I'll be surprised.

And Charlie will stay on.
