Conservatives love to try to divide and concur. What it comes down to is the best man will represent that district. And that best man won't be a conservative regardless of the demographic shifts... That's what counts...

You think Democrats have a problem with a Democrat representing them ??????

I have been active on this site for almost 3 years. During that entire time, you Conservatives have called for someone to defeat this man, or for him to simply step down, and when it happens (or could happen)you play the race card ???

Some people just shouldn't think! Name one liberal that wants uncontrolled borders? Just one malamute!!!

He's about as shady as they come.
It's not the "first time in forever" ..... Rangel barely pulled it out a couple of years ago. It took weeks to get the final result. Turns out that the Police are in charge of delivering the ballots for a final count (that would be the Unionized Police ). They managed to find enough "Votes" in enough Police vehicles for Rangel to win.

And NO ... they do NOT have any Voter ID in New York.
They don't need it ..... Its all about who actually counts the "Votes".

Rangel is in his 80s, I have no problem with someone younger beating him in an election.

Exactly. He may have exceeded his "use by" date. It does seem clear that the old guard on both sides of the fence are being given the boot. It no longer matters what bacon you bring to your district. It's an ideological issue.

Interesting to see you admit you're a criminal.
....and so are you.

Yeah....you've requested a 1099 for every dime you've ever received outside of your normal job.

What a load of sanctimonious nonsense. LOL...you guys crack me up.

The Korean war thing. He wasn't the only one wounded in battle while in the service of this nation. He like many politicians has played the wounded vet card to the max. He is an old windbag and should have retired long ago.
You evade a small tax and I agree most would do the same thing. Most of us don't write the tax codes and most of us aren't using their position to trash others for not paying their fair share even though they used the loopholes that you were part of creating.
So what? So he was on the Ways and Means committee. Big deal. Are you anymore entitled to not report income because you AREN'T on the committee?

And yeah, he was a hypocrite. Again, how does that distinguish him from his 400 other colleagues. Your congressman is a hypocrite too.

And it's a lie to say that he plays the wounded vet card to the max. Rangel wrote a book about his experiences in Korea, but otherwise rarely mentions it...which is typical of most vets.

Look, just say you hate the guy and leave it at that. I've got no issue with that sentiment. After all, we both agree that it's long past time for him to go.

He will win but I hope more Black leaders lose as a result of immigration. It would be a great comeuppance for their stupidity.

What difference would it make if blacks are underserved by these people anyway?

Surely you don't think these people are doing a good job, do you?

BTW...do you hope this happens to white "leaders" too, seeing as how white people are primarily responsible for the illegal immigration situation to begin with. After all, You don't think black folks own all of those meatpacking, textile, and other heavy industrial plants, do you?
