The second circuit is but a whorehouse -- look at the appointment of Madam Gerald E. Lynch. Then there was the other bimbo who ruled that federal funding cannot be pulled from -- our tax money MUST be spent for -- ACORN. The problem is the Dems pour big money into the Party who appoints the whores in the Second Circuit courts -- all of them -- to pimp the rights of the people. 70% of NYC rents. The 4 biggest - (almost all) of the City's landlords ALLLLL contribute to the Dem party. Who, in turn appoints the judges. Who in turn, use the courts as the LL's person eviction machine -- and here is the problem -- whether or not he law backs them. Like being evicted from a building with no C.O. (Illegal to collect rent or maintain a proceeding -- unless Dem donor.) Corruption exists until the feds actually bust the racket financing the Dems. Oh, that would be the Obama administration.... Gosh... sad.... TEA anyone?! The problem with New York is its judiciary — the best money can buy. The second circuit is but a whorehouse — look at the appointment of Madam Gerald E. Lynch.

They are all over the local papers. Any ordinary voter has a right to question if these allegations are correct. All he had to do was deny them. Rangel is arrogant enough to know he's being videotaped and still curse him out.. he knew he was a reporter. The camera is in sight. As you can tell from the video all those charges are correct.

If Mr. Mattera had identified himself as a Journalist, asked for an appointment, and told Mr. Rangel point-blank that he had some tough questions, it would have worked. But this, really, only proves that ' ambush ' journalism doesn't work. All you're doing is expecting me to take Mr. Mattera word about the car, apartment and tax issues. Of course Mr. Rangel didn't answer, he didn't have time, he was going someplace, and he seemed to be in pretty good humour about it! Mr. Mattera misrepresented who he was & what he was doing, and that kind unethical conduct by Mr. Mattera negates his point. He's accusing Mr. Rangel of being unethical, even while he himself is being unethical?? It appears Mr. Mattera is being a ' smart aleck ' and Mr. Rangel is being good-natured about it. Really, you should start over. Kindest Regards to all, I am, John Lepant Brighton Colorado Gentle Readers,

It is the same in Washington today. Most likely these politicians have always had this sort of contempt for the American people. They seem incapable, however, of recognizing that technology has put them under a microscope like at no other time in history. They keep marching into the coming onslaught with those goofy grins on their faces, just as though they really believe there will be no consequences to their arrogance. Let them go.; the mustkets of November are powdered up and ready to go.

The best thing he can do for his country now is step down. Rangel may have been a hero in the Korean War but he used up all that he earned by becoming a (pick one, or pick more) Communist, Marxist, Socialist, and/or Progressive. “Sen.
