It's going to be interesting to see who gets a piece of Rangel's butt first, the Feds or the Ethics Committee. You know the IRS is all up in Rangel right now and if there is intent and motive, he is going to jail. New York you better start looking for a replacement. Rangel is a goner. Say hello to Bubba Charlie and remember, don't drop the soap.

I think this is all the product of a slow day at the New York Times. Don't these lawmakers have anything better to do?

No one works harder for Americans than Charlie Rangel.

The democrats are hurting themselves keeping this man in his position as long as it has been. This isn't the first time Mr. Rangel found himself in hot water. Time to ask him to step down. We need clean government!!

INVESTIGATE THE McCAINS FAILURE TO PAY TAXES ON ONE OF THEIR 7 HOUSES.

Charlie Rangel is the most flagrant thief and tax evader of our time. What's to investigate? Throw the man in prison and let him rot there.

DUMB CLUCKS

this debate was slated to be on foreign policy and national security
last debate is on economics

Political Action Committees are prevalent in many large organizations .At times people are encouraged to donate to particular parties or candidates. These directions can be subtle or overt depending upon the culture of the organization. It would be fair to say, there is an unhealthy mix in most places.

GOOD!!!!!!!!

Martha – I think the start of this was Keating 5 – McCain. Check your history before showing your ignorance.

Let's get all the slime out of DC. Rep, Dem, makes no difference – clean house really good. Vote them out. Put new ones in. If they don't do the job, vote them out next time.

NO MORE OF THIS CRAP

Gov. Palin should get the same investigative panel

Can we charge him for parking his unregistered, unlicensed 1972 Benz in the Capitol garage for the last four years (against Congressional rules)? This guy thinks he's above the law and should at a minimum be foreced to resign as Chairman.

Martha,

Whay don't you asked for them to investigate you Caribou Barbie of a choice for VP? Hasn't she ignored all the investigations going on in Alaska. How about Rick Davis and the $15,000 given to him every month. You must be an empty head republican.

LOL at Martha! "IIMPEACH OBAMA!!!"–Jeesh.

That being said, investigate Rangel. I am all for honest and open review of possible fraud. After Rangel, we can move onto everyone in the Bush regime.

Whats new another Dem crook in congress.

Don't add another.

McCain 08

Its ok to vote for a white man in America.

I like Charlie as much as one can like a face on TV, but if he really did some of the things he did I think that he should be punished as defined by law.

Having said that, I also think that the White House administration, including Bush and Cheney are guilty of treason and other crimes and that they should also be punished as defined by law. I also believe that any Congressman who has had a hand in deregulation of industries and companies that use the publics monies should be tried for trying to dismantle the checks set down by much smarter congresses.

OMG! Another dirty politician? Simply can't be true.

Bye,

Alice in Wonderland

FOLLOW PALAIN'S LEAD refuse to cooperate!

Well, maybe not. Since YOU have nothing to hide.

We love you, babe ( I mean Charlie) ((Hope that's not to SEXIST for Republicans; I know sensitive you are))

Rangel is dirty.

Think about this....McCain goes to Washington to attend to the nations business...Obama goes to debate....McCain says you want to debate......OK.......debate........SARAH PALIN.....she can handle you...
Palin out debates Obama......GAME OVER!!!!

Obama never

Hillary never ever!!!

Martha
remember Charlie Rangel supported Hillary all the way in the primary's

So dummy up also ask McCain about the Keating FIVE and ask him about his first marriage. He first wife said she needed him to 40 and not 25year old.

Oh, who cares about Rangel. I liked him before he named a building after himself. I think it's appauling to take the taxpayers money and name anything after yourself. Shameless, and that goes for the rest of them too.

Obama/Biden 08

WAY TO GO JOHN McCain you showed that country comes first McCain/Palin08 .

A BAILOUT WOULD MEAN, COUNTRY FIRST!!!! You poor suckers
give and give, your taxes, your money, your children and we can spend
it like WE CHOOSE. Trips, Vacations, Planes. That, my friends is what
you will be getting with Mr. John McCain!!!.

Country First! You idiots better figure out what John McCain means
by Country First and NO BIG GOVERNMENT, which means that the
government gets all of the above, your children for war and you get
NO ENTITLEMENTS. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANS.
NO SOCIAL SECURITY BECAUSE MCCAIN WANTS TO MAYBE,
GIVE YOU HALF, AND GAMBLE THE REST ON WALL STREET!!!!!!!!

Only the rich or suckers or uneducated or racists will vote for McCain!

The FBI should find where the robbers of our land, and banks
have shifted the money and prosecute these people. The banks
have supposedly shifted the money overseas. Arrest the CEO's and
the people that took the money, confiscate the money and return
it to it's proper owner. THE US GOVERNMENT. The FBI can start
with Rick Davis!!!!!.
This is major money robbery by CEO's that did it under OUR TRUSTED
GOVERNMENT WATCH. Not only do they want us poor suckers to
pay the bill, they want to take our jobs and entitlements and our
children too. NO BAILOUT.

BIG, RICH CONTRIBUTORS, ANYONE!!!!!! NO BAILOUT! NO!

This country needs a viable 3rd party candidate. The Republicans made the mess and the Democrats let them do it. Neither Obama or McCain are worthy to lead this country out of the hole.
VOTE GREEN '08 !!!

About time they investigate Rangel. He has been running loose doing whatever he wants instead of the country's business. He is the Master of Corruption.

They need to investigate Bush and his entire administration. They have robbed this country almost blind and now they want congress to trust them with a $700 Billion dollar blank check!! HOW STUPID ARE WE SUSPOSE TO BE!! I can't even believe they are CONSIDERING this mess! IMPEACH BUSH!!

I think they should do an investigation on Obama too!!, they should also do investigation on the 350 Congress Man who had there hand in the till, I know that the the people Messiah (Obama) dose not have that clean of a record, But the Media has been covering for him, but once he is in office he will be found out, The Media is being Payed off to bring down McCain, Obama was not Born in America, he was born in Africa, but the Media dont want to bring this out, it's all over the internet. but the Main media has not brought this out, Why? they like people like Barnie Frank who Screwed up, but No it has to be the President fault, Hello people, there are alot of people who are working in Congress, are they not at fault, come on let get this right, there at fault,

Obama/Biden voted for the 'Bridge to Nowhere'!

Change? Or....More of the Same?

Good. Fry the idiot. Of course since the Dems control Congress, nothing will happen.

Someone earlier asked how many hours Governor Palin actually worked prior to running.

That's a hilarious statement to me, considering how little Congress works.

You should really go look at their schedule before you mouth off on someone else.

I don't believe that Rangel is above the law, but don't forget about all those Bush cronies as well!

No Mr. obama, McCain knows how to multi-task....you need to learn how to prioritize. A debate can be rescheduled to whenever (you know, the debates you've been ducking all summer). There is a financial crisis going on that needs to be addressed, and obama is putting everyone at risk to play a childish game & try to badmouth McCain. It's like obama is a 10-year-old.

WILL RANGEL'S INVESTIGATION BE HANDLED THE SAME WAY AS PALINS?

RNC DUMB ATTEMPT TO DISTRICT...WON'T WORK...

Investigate Dodd and Schumer next.

we need honest people no more crooks

While they are at it they should be having Pelosi up for investigation for "Conflict of interest" on the lack of oil vote and her alternitive energy investment for her portfolio. That is way worse than a little tax trouble for Rangle.

opps correction, Rangel is in the House of Representatives, not a Senator.

Hummm, I wonder what would happen of Rangel, a democrat and black man refused to abide by any potentially forecoming subpoenas????

Hey Martha you can't impeach a Senator!!!!!!

Martha, You sound so desperate to beat Obama. You sound angry that he has made it this far on the road to the presidency. Why are you so angry? They say the Obama supporter is the mean hateful and angry one and look at this comment you left...you should be ashamed of yourself. And for Christ's sake this article isn't even about Obama...

Charlie Rangel should be thrown out of the House. What a sleazebag!

Another corrupt democrat?? Gee, what a surprise.

Why is Rangel being investigated for the same exact thing McCain was guilty of a few months ago?? Is it because McCain didn't remember he owned that house.......for 5 years???

Rick Davis? Are you seriously comparing his firms $15k a month to Obama's two advisors that were EXECUTIVES that walked away with over 100 MILLION from Freddie and Fannie.... ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?!?

John McCain's request to delay campaigning and this week's debate is:
An effort to help the economy 26% 21242
A political gimmick 69% 56283
Something else 5% 4019
Total Votes: 81544

CNN QUICK VOTE

CNN WILL NOT PUBLISH THIS

CNN WILL NOT REPORT that MOST AMERICANS WANTS DEBATE GO ON

Is it my imagination or is congress full of opportunists – no one the financial sky fell.

WAAAA WAAAA thats not fair. I studied all week for this debate. I know exactly what I am going to say in case they do not let my telepromper in....

What am I going to do know? You mean I might actually have to vote on an issue instead of voting present.? Oh NO!!!!!!!!!!!

GO McCain

Did he have anything to do with this Fannie, Freddie, or any of these other collapsed company, if not this is a waist of time. Investigate where it really matter, the lobbyist who worked for Fannie and Freddie and whoever else.

INVESTIGATE JOHN MCCAIN AND HIS INVOLVEMENT IN THE FAILURE OF SILVER BANK WHERE HIS SON WAS CEO AND QUIT 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE FAILURE. EVERY WEEKEND JOHN MCCAIN WAS IN ARIZONA DURING THIS TIME, HE HAD TO KNOW SILVER BANK WAS FAILING AND INVESTORS WOULD LOSE THEIR MONEY. YOU DO THE MATH.

Better hope your nose is clean!! Stay away from even the appearence of something bad.

Too bad he isnt McCains VP then he could hide behind the Republican Steel Curtain that Rove/Chaney/Palin and many others are currently hiding behind....

Leon (Independent in OKC)

Barney Frank, Rangel who else from the Dumbocratic party that isn't corrupt. Maybe Obama can debate about Barney Frank on Friday since he is the one who destroyed Fanny.

Can't he just say no?!!!!!!!! It works for the Palins!!!

Don't worry Charlie Obama will come and save you. Didn't you hear he can do everything and anything. We are so lucky he was sent here to save us.

You are a nut case Martha, probably disguised under a hood. Everyone should obide the law and treated equal and punished for wrongdoing. But Moose girl and Co. already lead the way with obstruction. How can you nitwit excuse that.

Jeez, another democrat caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Guess if you can't make it into the white house to rip off items you just have to do the best you can!

Another Obama supporter. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!! No more crooks in the White House. McCAIN in 2008 , HILLARY in 2012.

TISK TASK! TIT FOR TAT!

FORBODING! FORBODE! FORBID!

Ex republican for Obama – you are very funny! I needed that because the McFailin team are turning this election into a huge joke.

WOW!!! What a game playing old fool! These new tactics of the GOP are even lower then I could ever imagine. They play the election like a game of chess, trying to pull the right moves at just the right times to get their check mate and guarantee four more years of power control. I am completely stunned at this new level of slime ball that they just became. You just lost me John, I was hopin you would beat up on Obama in the debate but your obviosuly scared of him.

FOX, THAT IS A JOB OF CHICAGO MAFIA.
RANGEL IS NOT VERY MUCH "IMPRESED" BY "THE ONE" :OBAMA.

Dear Friends:
Congressional members working together even agreeing on both sides together resolution!

Debates! How long does it take? In a perfect world? Mulitasking!
Speeches can they handle this? We deserve it?

Just refuse the investigation just like Palin has. If she can do it everyone can.

More of the same from John McShame

John McLame says, “I don’t know much about the economy, I still need to be educated”

“It would be acceptable if we had to stay in Iraq for another 100 years.”

We need to “bomb, bomb, and bomb Iran”

“I have voted with Bush 90% of the time because he has been right 90% of the time”

Sarah Failin says,

“I have foreign policy experience because you can see Russia from Alaska and I went to Mexico on vacation once.”

“I welcome any investigation into my past because I have nothing to hide, oh never mind I will not meet with any investigators for any reason ever.”

She believes the Bush Doctrine is a “World View” hahaha

She says she said “No Thanks” for the Bridge to nowhere when she was actually the one who got it approved

She says we may have to go to war WITH RUSSIA

She decreased her own responsibilities when she was the mayor of a town small enough to be run by a fifth grader

who cares?

Dear Friends:
I must be correct when they cannot stand the truth!

Forboding!

My only hope is that this disgrace to New York and to the Democrat Party will be booted from office.

Rangel is no different than our Chicago political crooks, including the hypocrite Obama. In two years everyone will be screaming for Obama's impeachment if he wins the Presidency. This crook from Illinois makes me sick.

McCain is running away from debate coz his lack of experience in economy.he just want to pretent he is putting his "country first"but we all know he is 'playing politics first' as he did with his VP selection.

Democrats raise taxes, then don't pay them. Hypocrites!

Rangel also introduced the draft in 2006! Why do you all keep saying Republicans will do that? No way...Democrats already put Draft Bill forward in 2006. Query "Rangel Draft 2006"...

GET YOUR INFORMATION CORRECT: Palin appointed a panel of THREE REPUBLICANS & 2 DEMOCRATS TO INVESTIGATE HER! DUH. Now she wont cooperate!

SO DON'T INVESTIGATE PALIN'S ABUSE OF POWER? BUT RANGEL IS OKAY?

I SAY INVESTIGATE ALL, WHO LIE, CHEAT & ABUSE POWER.....LET'S BEGIN WITH BUSH.........CHENEY........AND OH YEAH.......MCCAIN.

if I dont pay tax I m staying in the jail now...only crooked liberal free ride

I think the US needs a do over. These two parties are too corrupt to govern.

Bob Barr / 2008

Send all those dirty Congressmen to JAIL!!! Sue them and GET OUR MONEY BACK!

BTW: Martha, you are an idiot. McCain with his lobbyists, keating 5, Abramoff scandals, 10 houses, 13 cars, and his wife's 300,000 dollar dress have a much higher probability of being on the guilty side of a corruption investigation. FOOL!!!

ONE NATION

so what about crooked jeferson why still in Congress, pelosi LIES again ..no earmark and clean house...liberal lie

Oh, I dunno, where are the articles about Sarah Palin's Abuse-of-Power investigation?

Why aren't all you truth-challenged Republican boot-licking toady trolls talking about that?

We have Congressman Charlie Rangel ,a democrat, who is in charge of tax policy, not paying taxes on rental income and Barack Obama, democrat running for president who accepted over 110,000 dollars from Fannie Mae, a bankrupt organization.
Change you can believe in! I am voting for McCain

Does Obama even listen to himself? He tells us it is important face the issue at hand and put others aside. Then in the next breath of air he rambles on, an on, an on with blame, and a multitude of other issues not of concern at this time.

The repubs are just trying to throw up a smokescreen against a balck man to draw attention away from the lies of McCain/Palin. An obvious ploy.

Obama should not suspend the campaign. McCain is in crises and wanted a time off.
Playing the nice guy would not help America at this time.
This is the time for radical changes

If Obama agreed, then he will be naiive and I will not pay him anymore.

CULTURE OF CORRUPTION!!

They need to investigate Obama too!!

Check his ties with the people bringing down the financial sector right now!!

IMPEACH OBAMA!!!

Debate on Friday!!

Do not back down. McCain is hiding. He needs time to have people tell him what he thinks.

We can not sit on our hands.
DEBATE!

But wait a minute! After reading most of the comments on this site, I cannot believe a Democrat is being investigated! Surely something must have gone wrong. Maybe McCain and Palin zapped Chuckie with their Repubo-ray and turned him into a greedy Republican...

...Or maybe he's like all the other Dems (especially those running for high office), lie, lie, lie, and do whatever they can to keep their jobs, line their pockets, and make decent Americans suffer.

Call Obama tell him to come to DC to save Rangel's career

Ha ha ha! The old man is scared!!! That's too funny!!! What an obvious Bush type tactic!!!

"My friends,
I'm too dumb to debate this guy, especially over the economic issues but even on foreign policy, so I will just pretend like I'm concerned over the economic down fall so I can get out of it and take a much needed vacation at the same time, SWEET!!! And if Obama doesn't agree then I will say that he doesn't care about the American people! I'm so glad I got this Rove fella is around, he sure can be handy at times!"

Finally it was appropriate for McCain to steal one of Barack Obama's Idea's. But this couldn't come at a better time for McCain. I feel everything he does is politicaly motivated. I can see the Ad now." John McCain suspended his campaign first while Obama continued to promote his campaign"

Dear Friends:
How many hours did Palin really work as the Governor? How much did she really get done? Who is doing the job now?

YOUNG People do you want to be President. Or a member of Congress. Then VOTE. YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU NOW.
For Peace, not War. (Did not mean to scare you!)

Obama Biden 2008

It's Official! They said Obama's Topic was not discussed, they didn't say it was Mentioned, I sure they left a message on what they wanted to discuss! Just like Obama made the first call on 9/11 to McCain to do a joint meeting. Obama always leading!
I'm SURE McCain's group had NO IDEA Why Obama would be calling him in the middle of a National Crisis..Please….
I feel so much better now! Palin/McCain 2008 – 2012..
and I have a Bridge and Road in Alaska and a 700 Billion dollar bailout to sale you to

P.S. for those who listen to Rush talk about Obama taking money from Freddie and Fannie, it was regular workers, your every day joe/jane, McCain got more money from the Executives/Lobbyist, but you didn't hear Rush mention that!
Wake Up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok. Just remove the greed and the crooks. Bring in the new.
The sincere, and care about American young ones. The new
Horizon. We will decide. We will vote. But they better follow the
constitution and be a government "for the people." not for themselves
as we have seen what "greed" can do to destroy a government and
A Nation of GREAT PEOPLE!

Justice be done in Congress to all those people that robbed us.

NOW, justice be done!!! FBI get the crooks and bring the money back!
that the banks and individuals transferred overseas!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama Biden yes we can 2008

a ten grand oops is a big deal with all these gazillionaires? whatever, go ahead and investigate. I'm sure rangel won't ignore a subpoena because he will voluntarily appear.

This is merely a charade to save face until the election.

Same with the democrats allowing the drilling ban to expire. They wouldn't dare approve it just before the election as their consituents would crucify them in the election.

Party before Country...it's the democratic way.

Its about time! Congress should lead by example.

At least Chalre has some dignity and is not subpoena dodging.

Ignorrance is not an excuse from the law, not even for Chalie Rangel. Although.., his actions do show otherwise.

Poor Charlie

Why aren't they investigating Rick Davis yet???? I don't think I would foget receiving a $15,000 check every month...would yoU?

Good, maybe he won't be too "disabled" during the investigation.

Oh my god. McCain is down by 9 points in the polls and he wants to suspend the campaign. Obama called him first to ask for bipartisan talks.

This smells like pandering and another attempt by McCain to trick us into voting for him. He was the one who was for deregulation until this week when he flip-flopped. This is no doubt game playing…

McCain will have plenty of time after Nov. 4 to work with President Obama on bipartisianship. George Bush is the president let him deal with this mess he has put us in.

Its about time!!!!!!!

who cares

Can he refuse any subpoenas? Or is that only acceptable if you are an incompetent Governor of Alaska?

Actually, I say hang him high if he's found to be corrupt...but no special treatment...hang the witch from Alaska and her hubby, at the same time.

ah...Pelosi's 'clean' Congress.

How about we start any investigations with the two clowns that are FIRST in line for a little questioning by Congress?

Impeach Bush/Cheney!

LIES = Iraq = 4000+ DEAD SOLDIERS for OIL

good,and all the greedy CEO's,Banks,Mr.president Bush,Dick Cheney,Henry Paulson,troopergate,savings and loan,Iraq war,etc.

Investigate.
Prosecute.
INCARCERATE.
